Eating in Bangkok

As much as the Thais respect the past, they are also fun loving people who enjoy life's pleasures to the full. And most important in the pursuit of sanuk - having a good time - is good food.

Thai cuisine, rich and spicy, is a true gourmet's delight affording a huge variety of dishes to discover and relish. Sea food is also a national specialty and fish, crab, lobsters, shrimps and more can be enjoyed in either spicy Thai style or in Continental recipes. Alternatively, exclusive roses and crystal dining can be enjoyed at restaurants specializing in European fare served in classic settings. Whatever the preference, Bangkok spoils the palate with a choice of just about every national cuisine worthy of the name.

Matching the variety of menus is the choice of dining venues. From simple but good curbside food stalls and right up through the whole dining gamut to elegant, expensive restaurants and dinner cruises on the river, there is something to suit all tastes.

Chao Phraya River - Dinner Cruises

Riverine Bangkok offers some of the capital's most relaxing sights, particularly at night when the weather is cooler and light reflections bestow the Chao Phraya River with flickering magic and romance. An ideal way of combining dinning with riverine enchantment is to enjoy a river dinner cruise.

Dinner at Silom Village

Enjoy light Thai dinner while watching Thai classical dances that tell about Thai national epic, Ramakien, beauty of dancers, elegantly performing stories from classical Thai literature and folklore.
