You should check out the beautiful Mae Fah Luang Gardens. Entrance fee is was minimal, I believe 90 baht. Supposedly the queen wanted people to see flowers from around th world and thus this garden was established. (That's what our friends told us) It is phenomenal. Not only are there amazing flowers in these gardens but it's also like a living museum where you can see how houses used to be structured, skills like wood carved items, and old fashioned swings, so many cool things here!
Outside there are food vendors. Try to find a hill tribe woman with food like this:

Fresh juice is something you should enjoy while in Thailand. In the BTS station you'd an find tiny bottles like these with a variety of flavors.
Of course you must visit JJ market while in BKK. Take BTS to Mo Chit and follow the crowds to the market on the weekends.
Around Bangkok you will see a site like this: These beauties (called Pla Pao) are fish that have been salted and stuffed with fresh herbs. (lemongrass, anyone!?) If you like fish, you must buy one. For about $5 you can get a whole prepared fish and it will be the most delicious, moist, perfectly cooked fish of your life! The seafood sauce that comes with it is also delicious and I believe there were some herbs and glass type noodles that accompanied it as well.
Khanom Buang -ขนมเบื้อง- is another Thai street food/ street snack made with thin pancakes stuffed with almost a merengue and topped with orange colored coconut shreds. They look like tacos, but they are not! They are cheap and a delicious treat you must try! Some are mini and bite sized and some are huge like a normal taco size.

Thai Street Food/ Street Snacks: Kanom Tokyo - ขนมโตเกียว is a little thin pancake filled in various ways. Out side of the Tesco Lotus, near the BTS station we found a couple selling Kanom Tokyo snacks.
When In Thailand…. Eat pad Thai, am I right? The quintessential Thai dish that everyone back home knows and loves no matter where home us. (Almost)
So we love that there is a little food zone so close to where we stayed at Ideo Mobi Onnut Sukhumvit 81. If you exit the building and walk to the right you’ll cross an alley which is busy with mototaxis- be careful!) and its where you walk up to the BTS station. |
