Food glorious food! For all those food lovers out there who believe food is half the travelling experience (like myself) and adventurous enough to sample the local delicacies, then Bangkok has a lot to offer. The only problem with this is trying to lose those kilos when you get back home.

Also, a word of advice. If you are intending to catch a cab to any of these restaurants, I suggest that you get your hotel concierge to write down the name of the restaurant and it’s address in Thai for you. Not all the taxi drivers will know some of the restaurants by their English name, but writing in Thai helps. The concierge staff will also instruct the taxis for you in Thai before you depart from the hotel (we stayed at the Holiday Inn in Chit Lom) and most restaurants will do the same on your return to you’re hotel.
Floating Markets
Don’t come here for souvenirs but come instead prepared for a feast! And feast we did! The menu varied from fruits galore (dragonfruit, rambutan, mangoes) to banana fritters and fried noodles. Nothing was missed and eat just about everything we did. Not to mention the Thai Ice Coffee that was simply to die for (though remember to ask for the unsweetened version as they’ll add something like 6 teaspoons of sugar and condensed milk to sweeten even more)!
Admittedly we did have our own Tour Guide to get us there and back who also helped us order the food for us. We simply did the easy job of pointing out all the food that we wanted to sample and she did the rest. She was absolutely fantastic and comes totally recommended.
