Why Bangkok is a foodie’s paradise

Bangkok is a standout city for many reasons, impressive temples, bustling night markets - and then there’s the food. Here blogger Amy Morgan from Toothbrush Travels takes us on a special tour of her favourite Bangkok eateries and reveals why she can’t get enough of Thailand’s capital city.

Bangkok is a city you can fall in love with and never pinpoint exactly why. It’s filled with life, contrasts and an energy that’s very palpable.

Chaos feels calming here, and the everlasting noise of traffic serves as a soundtrack, broken only by the sound of chatter on its restaurant-lined streets.

It’s a city where your preconceptions vanish and reality surpasses both your expectations and your senses.

It also has a food scene that’s so diverse that I can almost guarantee, if you happened to catch the scent of freshly ground chillies and aromatic spices, you'd walk miles just to seek the source’s location.

Yet despite its lure, many tend to treat Bangkok as a stopover rather than a destination and instead focus their attentions on Thailand’s golden beaches and lush jungles.

But to visit the country and skip Bangkok would be a mistake.
