Bangkok’s Chinatown is chaotic in the best way—bright neon signs, motorbikes zipping past, sizzling woks, and the smell of garlic and chili in the air. It’s loud, messy, and absolutely incredible if you’re into street food. Some of the best, cheapest, and most legendary eats in the city are packed into these few streets.
First things first—skip the shark fin soup. Some places still sell it, but honestly, there are way better things to eat without supporting that industry. Instead, hunt down the Michelin-starred street food stalls (yes, Bangkok’s street food game is that strong). Look for the Green Bowl—locals know this as a sign of amazing food.
Things you need to try:
Guay Jub Ouan Pochana – Michelin-starred crispy pork with peppery rolled rice noodles.
Jek Pui Curry (the green stools place!) – Plastic stools, a quick queue, and a plate of rich, spicy curry. Worth it.
Yaowarat toasted buns – A tiny stall selling crispy, buttery, sweet-filled buns. Lines are long, but move fast.
Fresh pomegranate juice – Everywhere. Sweet, refreshing, and perfect for Bangkok’s heat.
Nighttime is when Chinatown really comes alive, with food carts taking over entire streets. Walk, eat, repeat—it's the best way to experience it. 🚀
