Eating well in Bangkok on any budget

How to read a street food stall, when to sit down, and how to build a weekly rotation.

Quick answer

How to read a street food stall, when to sit down, and how to build a weekly rotation.

The best rule is the simplest: eat where the queue is local and the menu is short.\n\nStalls that do one dish do it well. Sit-down restaurants are for groups, air conditioning and long conversations, not for value.\n\nBuild a rotation of five places near home and five near work, and you will eat better than any list can arrange for you.
