    This is one of the best street food buffets in the world and it only costs around $1! This buffet located near Lumphini Park has a ton of freshly cooked dishes and soups. You get a taste of traditional Thai cooking for such a great price. Then off to the Rain Tree Café inside the Athenee Hotel for an all-you-can-eat lobster king crab buffet.
    Restaurants I went to:
    The buffet is located next to Lumphini Park
    Rain Tree Cafe
    Address: 61 Wireless Rd, Lumphini, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330, Thailand
