THAI SWEETS
Sugar junkies, be sure to include this stop on your Bangkok eating itinerary. The ground
floor of this shopping centre is a candy land of traditional Thai sweets and snacks, most
made right before your eyes.

Waving the Yellow Flag
During the annual Vegetarian Festival in September/October, Bangkok's Chinatown becomes a virtual orgy of non-
meat cuisine. The festivities centre on Chinatown's main street, Th Yaowarat, and the Talat Noi area, but food
shops and stalls all over the city post yellow flags to announce their meat-free status.

A windowless dining room of 10 tables in a dark alley may not be everybody's ideal lunch
destination, but this legendary north Indian place continues to draw foodies despite the lack
of aesthetics. Try any of the delicious breads or rich curries, and finish with a homemade
Punjabi sweet.
