Bangkok 3-Day Food Trip
Three days of eating: Chinatown's Yaowarat blaze, Michelin street woks, floating-market mornings and the mango-sticky-rice curriculum.
Trip overview
- Yaowarat after dark — the street-food capital of Asia
- The mango sticky rice curriculum

Best time to visit
Street food is year-round; the cool season (November–February) makes the evening markets comfortable. Monsoon afternoons move everything under roofs.
