The best Thai restaurants Bangkok

Here's a little boui-boui as we like them, located in an old house on stilts along the Chao Phraya River, at the Tha Tian pier where you take the ferry to Wat Arun. You'll be transported back to the days of old Bangkok. It's frequented by locals who come for the simple, cheap and good food, but also for its terrace overlooking the Temple of Dawn, to be enjoyed with a cold beer in hand.

Close to Khao San Road and Phra Sumen fort, this café-restaurant is located on the banks of the Chao Phraya, as its name indicates, and benefits from a superb view on the Rama VIII bridge. Nice terrace and air-conditioned room if the heat bothers you. The menu offers good Thai specialties, including dishes with seafood and sea products, but also Western recipes, such as pizzas, burgers, grilled meat... One can also come there to have just a hot drink, a snack or a glass.

Located at the beginning of Rambuttri Alley, this small street food restaurant is probably the best place in the neighborhood. A few plastic tables are set up on the street, and you'll probably have to wait to get a seat as the place is a legitimate success. The menu offers a wide range of local specialties, from pad krapao to Chiang Mai khao soi to southern panaeng curry. It's very good, quite copious and all at very competitive prices, including beer. Fast and smiling service. Heart with fingers...

A small and unpretentious place like many in Bangkok, with braised chickens and ducks displayed in front of it to attract customers. If you want to eat Thai style, this one is really good and cheap. The specialty of the house is the noodle soup with fish balls, but we advise you to try the rice dishes with duck or pork, to be decorated with hot sauce and condiments present on the tables.
