                                                                                    Pratunam Market

                                                                                      Pratunam Market is a massive shopping area located on Phetchaburi Road, Bangkok, right opposite Platinum Fashion Mall.

                                                                                      Lim Lao Ngow Fishball Noodle

                                                                                        Lim Lao Ngow is one of our favourite street food stops in Bangkok’s Chinatown, and even though it’s not right on the main Yaowarat Road, it’s just a short 150-metre walk into a small side street.

                                                                                        Banthat Thong Road, Bangkok

                                                                                          Banthat Thong Road is the place to be if you are looking for a trendy and lively neighbourhood filled with delicious street food and restaurants. It is located between Hua Lamphong Station and Siam.

                                                                                          Talat Noi street market in Bangkok

                                                                                          The Street Market in Talat Noi

                                                                                            Don’t expect a traditional market in Talat Noi. The name means ‘small market’, but it refers to the neighbourhood’s history rather than an actual market. Still, a small street market exists where locals buy vegetables, fruits and snacks each morning.

                                                                                            Phuket Infinity Tours

The wine list is also excellent with reasonably priced wine by the glass, served at the right temperature.
