A New Food Paradise in Siam, Bangkok

Content show

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. The street has grown to be one of Bangkok’s trendiest places. Its vintage townhouse-style buildings mixed with modern interior and exterior designs of each shop give the feeling of liveliness yet still hold some relaxed vibe.

The food is the primary factor behind Banthat Thong Road’s popularity. For foodies, this street is a haven. You’ll find everything from traditional Thai street food like pad thai and som tam to contemporary fusion meals and desserts.

When it is night time the street comes alive with vibrant lights of each shop illuminating the streets. Making it a perfect place for a late night snack or a chill night stroll with friends as there’s a variety of food options accommodating for everyone.

Banthat Thong road is home to many famous dessert shops for example in the 2 photos above Nueng Nom Nua and Mother Cow. Both of these shops specialize in Milk desserts like fresh milk, soft serve ice cream and khanom pang sangkhaya which is toasted bread with Sweet Pandan dipping sauce.

However, I recommended going on the weekdays since both of these shops is extremely busy especially Nueng Nom Nua where you could be waiting for in line for about an hour or two.

Furthermore, Banthat Thong Road isn’t just a place to enjoy food because between the popular eateries, you will find vibey shops and art space or even live music spots to enjoy drinks with friends. The street gives off a youthful energy thanks to it being next to Chulalongkorn University.

Overall, It is a great place to experience Bangkok’s vibrant energy while feeling relaxed. If this type of place is for you then Banthat Thong Road should be the first place on your itinerary.
