Bangkok List for First Timers

Bangkok List for First Timers

1

The Local

This is a great place to start your Thai food journey because it's got menus developed from different regions of Thailand, so you really get a good overall view of how Thai food is interpreted throughout this big country. Also, the place looks like a museum, so it's a really nice environment to just relax and let your eyes wonder.

Charmgang

Charmgang is the place where you could see Chef Jai making classic Thai curries a bit more fun and modern, Such as this grilled tiger prawn in yellow curry with a laksa touch and the wagyu pad kra pao.

Fran's Sathorn

One really popular brunch brand in Bangkok - they've got a few outlets now so it's easy when you crave some hearty Western brunch items like French Toast, their famous Velvet Egg & Bacon, truffle cream pasta..etc.,

Khao Gaeng Jek Pui (Je Chie)

The best Thai curries must be eaten on the street - so come to Khao Gaeng Jek Pui near Yaowarat to try local flavors the local Cai Png style. The curries are very different from the restaurants and very spicy! I loved the green curry!

Here Duan (Banthat Thong)

Here Duan has become a place we go to in Bangkok every time .The omurice and the fried instant noodles both have such vibrant flavour and texture combinations

we are so addicted to them.

Nhong Rim Klong

For a solid lunch of seafood, carbs, and Tom Yum 
- this place won’t disappoint you with that crab and egg fried noodles and the fully peeled mantis prawns with these umami garlic crisps.

Ping's Shark Fin Restaurant Asoke (The Original)

Ping’s serves my favorite Teochew food outside of China, Hands down. The goose web mee bok and the tiger prawn glass noodles are amongst my favorite Chinese dishes in the world

Restaurant POTONG

Restaurant Potong has become such as an iconic place for fine dining in Bangkok because you would be immersed in precisely where Chef Pam’s great great grandparents’ TCM pharmacy was - I call this kind of food storytelling - “edible nostalgia”.

Momono Omakase 鮨桃野

Momono Omakase for a 23 course menu feels like 46 courses with such generous portions of premium Japanese seafood - the almost 3 hour dining was about 230 SGD per person.

The theatrics really made this place hard to forget!

NANA Coffee Roasters Ari

Very well designed space with ample room to walk around and immerse in the greens outside of the building as well as the wide variety of coffee bean options. There are also DJs spinning at designated times!
