Food Scene
If You’re a Thai Seafood Lover – Heavenly Somsak Boo Op Street Stall.
While oftentimes Thai street food comes at very affordable prices, other rare times it can be expensive (relatively).
But let me tell you, if you’re paying top prices for Thai street food, your money isn’t going towards the nice ambiance or the perfect service, you’re paying for high quality ingredients.
Located just a 5 minute walk, on Charoen Rat Soi 1, is a street stall that lives up to its reputation of having the BEST goong (shrimp) and pu (crab) ob woon sen (with vermicelle, baked in a small pan) in the city (at least by far the best I’ve ever had).

Bangkok’s Chinatown is a popular tourist attraction and a food haven for new generation gourmands who flock here after sunset to explore the vibrant street-side cuisine. At day time, it’s no less busy, as hordes of shoppers descend upon this 1-km strip and adjacent Charoenkrung Road to get a day’s worth of staple, trade gold, or pay a visit to one of the Chinese temples. Packed with market stalls, street-side restaurants and a dense concentration of gold shops, Chinatown is an experience not to miss. The energy that oozes from its endless rows of wooden shop-houses is plain contagious – it will keep you wanting to come back for more.

Arts & Culture
Thanks to the likes of The Jam Factory, Wongwian Yai is becoming a hub for art and design. Every week this riverside space hosts the city’s most-hyped events, from art exhibitions to pop-up weekend markets and indie book events at Candide Book Store. In the same complex, Never Ending Summer serves up delicious Thai food in an immaculate industrial space beside the Chao Phraya River, while Li-bra-ry does a great cup of coffee. Meanwhile, the small-but-bustling Charoen Rat Road is paradise for aspiring designers, lined with leather traders and shops selling raw materials, from sequins to sophisticated black suede, at prices you just won’t find at Pratunam or Sampeng.
