  • BANGKOK, THAILAND - Iconsiam mega mall, Terminal 21 food court, MBK Center and Siam Paragon - If you are visiting Bangkok for the first time, you do not want to miss these amazing shopping malls. The best part about them is that they all have great Thai street food courts. If it is your first time eating Thai street food, or you just want to eat somewhere with more comfort, Bangkok's shopping mall food courts are great place to come. Shopping malls in Bangkok are a perfect way to introduce yourself to Thai street food because there are English translations, it is clean, the restaurant is air-conditioned and best of all, you have multiple options all under one roof. You should expect to pay a little more for this convenience though. Personally, I love ICONSIAM, it may be the best shopping mall in Bangkok and SookSiam Bangkok floating market Thai street food is surprisingly good for a Bangkok food court.
    Which is your favourite?
    There is so much food to eat in these malls. Whether you are looking for Pad Thai, Pad krapao, Khao Soi or just some mango sticky rice. You will find it all here in one place.

    Great video. Just a note: It's not necessary to take the ferry to IconSIAM, as it can be hot and time-consuming. Just stay on BTS Silom line one more stop across the Chao Phraya river to Krung Thonburi station, then take Gold Line to its first stop: Charoen Nakhon station. The station is connected to IconSIAM... can just walk right into the mall.

    I love Thailand! I went to Bangkok for the first time this year back in July. I was only there for 5 days but food was everywhere! Amazing! I mostly ate at the hotel mainly because breakfast came with my stay but the breakfast spread was amazing! 5 different stations, Asian, European, American, Dessert, and Salad/ fruit. Dinner was always at the hotel because I did not want to be out too late. It was too hot! haha! However, I did get to eat at Siam Paragon and the food court at the platinum market. Also, I once ate at the central world mall food court, all walking distance from the hotel. Best hotel I have ever stayed at. I might go back. I want to try this other Siam place you just mentioned. I did not get to see the river nor ride any river boat.

    • @hungrytoexplore

    Tourists love to eat street food, and that's a great experience. Food courts are OK too, and a step up in comfort and hygiene. But most visitors ignore chain restaurants. They don't have the street cred, but you can get some very good food in chain restaurants. Ros Niyom for one. Then there's Ong Thong which specialises in Khao soi and it's amazingly good. For pad krapao Moom Gapao is really good. Even the ubiquitous S&P is often very good. You rarely see tourists in these places, and only the occasional expat.

    • @hungrytoexplore
      @hungrytoexplore  8 місяців тому

      that is true, I guess they simply want something different than they are used to or just do not film these places. I must say, I have eaten in Ong Tong and it is too sweet and creamy for me. I prefer street khao soi

    Thanks for the video! I like all the food courts, but the one at Iconsiam is mostly very crowded. Have you been at the Starbucks on top of Iconsiam? They have Special Drinks and a terrace, from where you have the best view over Bangkok! I saw your video about the Terminal21 Food court , so I tried the Massaman at Terminal21, its really, really good!
    My favourite Food Court is still the one at Central Pinklao!

    Terminal 21's food does taste good and has a reasonable price while siam paragon is a kinda like luxury version of food also fresh mart. Goods in there are in good shape and have a nice quality but it come up with hihg price as well. Iconsiam is kinda expensive for me and food is neutral or kinda not worth it for me. I've tried some from iconsiam it cost me around 100-200 bht while I bought it from some local area at 50-80 bht as a same product but better quality and better taste.
