Finding good Thai, and Chinese dishes, is quite easy. Many Thais like to eat out in "food streets" and this is something that visitors will find very interesting. It is a great experience and the food is tasty and inexpensive.

Yaowarat
Bangkok's "Chinatown" street houses offer the best Chinese food in the city, both in expensive restaurants and on the cheapest food stalls.

Noodles, seafood and, at lunch time, dim-sum dumplings dominate the menus. At night the neon glow from hundreds of hawker stalls electrifies the atmosphere of the streets. Seafood stalls line the pavements and sukiyaki stalls are equally thronged. Birds nest soup is nutritious and always popular with locals and visitors alike. Khao Tom, or boiled rice, is available every night - just waiting for the "night owls" who like to have an early morning snack.

Phahurat
If Yaowarat is Chinatown, then Phahurat is "little India!" A short walk takes you from one food world to the other. The Phahurat area accommodates a number of authentic Indian restaurants, particularly northern Indian cuisine. There are also interesting alternatives serving Punjabi and Pakistani food.

Sukhumvit
This road has just about everything to offer in the way of food. Starting from Soi 4, (Nana), an enclave of Pakistani and Middle Eastern restaurants fills the sois (small lanes) with the aroma of spices.

Further up the road, Indian cuisine takes over, with restaurants offering both northern and southern Indian specialties.

European restaurants are interspersed offering Italian, French, British, German and Mexican food along both sides of the street. American food is featured in fast-food outlets and in hotels.

Bang Lamphu
Known mostly to foreign back-packers, Thanon Khao San is the place to find the most economical accommodation and guest-houses, visited by folk who know about Bang Lamphu. Most eating places in this area cater for budget-conscious diners. Many guest houses on Khao San road have open-air café serving standard Thai and Chinese dishes. Other kinds of food to be found in this area include Indian, Jewish and Muslim.

Silom
One of Bangkok's major business areas linked with several streets lined with food stalls and leading restaurants.

Seafood stalls sprout along the roadside near Saladaeng Intersection after sunset until late into the night. Nearby Convent Road offers everything from Indonesian food to the Gaelic fare of an Irish tavern.

At Thanon Thaniya, close to Phat Phong, a crush of Japanese restaurants has turned this road into a lively walkway for Japanese visitors and sushi lovers.

Siam Square
The shopping area is crammed with medium to high-priced restaurants as well as international fast food. Economically priced American, European, Italian, Mexican and Chinese food can be found here.

Dozens of food stalls sell meatballs, grilled squid, and fried bananas along the walkways that connect the streets.
