Noi is like a drinking place where you can get local spirits and very high-level snacks, but it’s still very affordable.

This one is the equivalent of Jay Fai, but in the papaya salad world.

“Jay So is the equivalent of Jay Fai when it comes to Som Tam. She is just one chef doing Som Tam on her own, and it is the best you will ever find in Bangkok. The chicken wings here are slowly grilled on charcoal, and it will be the best chicken wing of your life.”

order: som tam; charcoal-grilled chicken wings
The equivalent of Jay Fai, but in the som tum or papaya salad world. One of the best papaya salads you can have. But the real hidden gem is the chicken wings. They are slowly cooked over charcoal for almost an hour. Juicy, delicious and falling off the bone. For me, the best chicken wings in the world.

“The queen of street food in Bangkok is Jay Fai. It is a must try spot when you come for the first time, at you should try it at least once in your life. I would order the crab omelette, but what I really love is the drunken noodle, which she makes so well.”

It is a craft coffee for people. The owner is the master of roasting who works directly with coffee farmers in the north of Thailand.

“For fine dining, I would recommend Potong by chef Pam, which is located in the beautiful old Chinatown area. It is Thai and Chinese fine dining, and it is a concept many people love.”

I like Potong because it is the heart of what we might call the hippest and currently the most happening area of Bangkok, Songwat.

“One of my favourite beef noodles is at Wattana Panich, where you see a big copper pot that contains soup boiling for more than 80 years! They never actually change the pot, so the fire never stops, and it is one of the best beef noodles in Bangkok.”
