While Bangkok doesn’t necessarily have a signature dish, it’s the place to take in a little bit of everything, from globally-known Thai dishes to exotic fruits. You can wander Bangkok’s streets and sample not just food from all over Thailand, but from all over Asia. Familiarize yourself with some of Thailand’s cooking here, and then get ready to taste for yourself. Following is a list of some more popular and familiar Thai dishes, as well as a couple of international neighborhoods that we recommend for any tour of Bangkok. And remember: you don’t eat Thai food with chopsticks!
Bangkok’s Little India, or Pahurat, is the place to find your samosas and biryani. Really, almost anything you’d like from the subcontinent is available, from chai to naan bread to samosas to chutney. Wander the street stalls and find a place that is busy – a sure sign of good food.
