Eating
Probably the safest of Bangkok's infamous carnal pleasures, food is serious business in this
city. Attracting hungry visitors from across the globe, Bangkok's eateries also draw natives
from disparate ends of the city, happy to brave traffic or floods for a bowl of noodles or a
plate of rice.
The selection is enormous and diverse, with eating places in Bangkok ranging from
wheeled carts that set up shop on a daily basis to chic dining rooms in five-star hotels. In
our experience the tastiest eats are generally found somewhere in between, at decades old,
family-run shophouse restaurants serving a limited repertoire of dishes.
The influences are also vast, and you'll find everything from Chinese-Thai to Muslim-
Thai, not to mention most regional domestic cuisines. And if at some point you do tire of
gŏo·ay đĕe·o (rice noodles) and curries, Bangkok has an ever-expanding selection of high-
quality international restaurants, encompassing everything from French cuisine to hole-in-
the-wall Japanese ramen houses.
Ko Ratanakosin
Bangkok's royal district has an abundance of sights but a dearth of restaurants - a pity con-
sidering the potential riverfront views.

(Th Maha Rat, no roman-script sign; mains 20-60B; 10am-5pm; ; Tha Tien) Yes, it's a bare-bones,
open-air curry stall, but if we're talking taste, Pa Aew is our favourite place to eat in this
corner of town. Pa Aew is in front of the Krung Thai Bank near Soi Pratu Nokyung.

( www.coconutpalmrestaurant.com ; 392/1-2 Th Maha Rat; mains 40-100B; 11am-6pm; ; Tha Tien) Co-
conut Palm serves a generous spread of Thai dishes, but most locals come for the
Sukhothai-style noodles - thin rice noodles served with pork, ground peanuts and dried
chilli.
