Restaurants, Eating and Street Food in Bangkok. Guide to the best restaurants in Bangkok and the Sukhumvit area. Thai food and unique eating experiences (Thailand).
The reason I cannot leave Bangkok is because of food and while this is true it doesn’t necessarily mean Thai food. What really keeps me here is the availability, diversity and affordability of all food and one of my favourite examples would be the Japanese (Yakiniku) and Korean barbecues; where in Bangkok they are a whole …
Despite past desperation to eat Isao’s super cute, sushi plates it wasn’t until recent when I finally live that dream. While I do live close to Isao and pass regularly it has taken me a good three years to pass through the front doors; the reason for this is Isao’s popularity where any given day …
Looking to diversify our eating routine we stumble on the Himalaya Restaurant in Bangkok a humble family run restaurant hidden in the back sois of Sukhumvit 31. The restaurant looks to be part of a localised ‘Himalaya Residences’ a base for Himalayan folk in Bangkok – like a Little Himalaya I guess. The area is …
After more than two happy years together I was caught cheating today and in honesty it was my first time doing so. While there’s been temptations in the past I have always shaken them away offering no more than an occasional flirt on passing or a quick massage. But this time it was a lot more. I …

All three are often found at your nearest Bangkok …
In honesty I am not a big soup fan and if I had the choice between juicy steaks or barbecued meats I’d likely never eat soup again. Fanfan on the other hand is obsessed with soups in particular the Thai Hot Pot (Jim Jum). It is easily in her favourite of mall foods often beating …
As most of my travels centre around food I do feel occasional guilt when walking to a fast food counter. A wasted meal on a short itinerary of food exploration. But in truth this is not the case. Fast food is different in every country with international outlets offering their own unique regional twists. The …
Fanfan “I feel like I’m in a Doll’s House..” Me “and do you like it?” Fanfan “Yes”. Some few words to sum up our experience at Mr Jones Orphanage. It felt like we were in a doll’s house and yes Fanfan liked it. To add more Fanfan “I’m Full” Me “You Didn’t Come Here for …
Today I was at a loose end. Fanfan working through the previous night meant I was left tiptoeing round the condo and as always I end up at the pool to ‘work’. A couple work beers down and I find myself relaxing on the pool edge overlooking local life on the street below. The day …
