In addition to its modern skyscrapers and ancient temples, Bangkok also boasts some impressive culinary dishes and flavours that add to its unique charm. To enjoy the city’s exciting burst of flavours, here are some of the best Thai dishes to enjoy.
Pad Thai
This is Thailand’s unofficial national dish comprising a heavenly serving of stir-fried noodles, with eggs, bean sprouts, scallions, and your choice of protein – either chicken, shrimp, tofu, or a combination of it all. If you’re not sure how to start your culinary journey in Bangkok, begin with a dish of Pad Thai at any of the top restaurants in Bangkok.
Tom Yum Goong
This world-famous delight ignites the senses with the vibrant flavours that emanate from the succulent shrimp that is cooked to perfection and immersed in a broth infused with kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, galangal, and chilli.
Khao Soi
If you’re looking for a dish of heartwarming goodness, this flavourful noodle soup from Northern Thailand is your best choice. The egg noodles are often served with chicken and pickled cabbage for a hint of freshness. The dish is then topped with crispy fried noodles for a flavourful twist. You can enjoy this delight at any of the restaurants and stalls in the city or at hotels like Pathumwan Princess Hotel that serve up classic Thai dishes.
Som Tam
This vibrant green papaya salad is a crunchy snack that you can enjoy at any street food stall. The shredded green papaya is combined with a mix of shredded vegetables including cherry tomatoes, carrots, and green beans.
