Maitri 12 #1 Posted June 14, 2012 Last time in Bangkok, I discovered the value of eating at a local market that served all kinds of Thai dishes at night, and sold mostly takeout items and souvenirs in the day time. I ate at the night market twice. It is located under the Skytrain along Sukhumvit before Soi 1. Miss that scene! The market has a diverse menu out front, and the locals are there cooking good traditional Thai food at very reasonable prices what seems to be nightly, and I saw a lot of locals eating there, so knew it must be very good. I can recommend it, especially for budget travelers. Great place to go eat before heading to NEP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bangui 31 #2 Posted June 22, 2012 CM, that is a good spot indeed. I really enjoy the option of the cheap street-side eats. Last night my girl and I ordered from the guy across the street from my apartment. Tom Yum mushroom, vegetables and pork belly with chili and bean sauce, chicken with chili and basil, fried egg, thai sausage and two rice - $6. Can't beat it! (of course I've had two sits on the john so far this morning but that is par for the course!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bangcock 6 #3 Posted July 3, 2012 It's the spicy that does that. But yeah, love the street eats. 1 Thanks reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maitri 12 #4 Posted July 5, 2012 Cheers guys, I think these types of places are awesome. During the day, you can also find delicious eats for cheap along the same stretch. Just as an example, one day I ate a nice lunch of some homemade tofu and veggie raw spring rolls as well as some traditional fried spring rolls for a total of like 80 baht???? I mean, how can you go wrong?? As a general rule of thumb, I think that in any foreign country if you see a lot of locals eating somewhere, it is good. You can find other great foods there too.
