- Silom Road :
- Several food streets are linked to this road in Bangkok's
busiest area. Many restaurants are found along the main thoroughfare,
but there is an even greater number tucked away in its side alleys.
As if awakened by street lights, seafood stalls sprout along
the section near Saladaeng Intersection after sunset until late
at night. The nearby Convent Road offers everything from Indonesian
to an Irish tavern. Opposite, a crush of Japanese restaurants
makes Soi Thaniya into a lively walkway for Japanese visitors
and sushi lovers of all nationalities.
Thai food is available in palace style and street style, side
by side. The best selection of the former can be found in Soi
Pipat. Find the Thai version of fast food at Soi Prachaen's night
market and Soi Lalai Sap's lunch market. Dozens of vendors sell
quick meals such as kuai tiao noodle and khao kaeng curry rice.
A good one-stop eating place is Silom Village in Soi 24, where
food in a variety of Thai styles is served in a relaxing atmosphere.

- Siam Square :
- This shopping area is crammed with medium to high-priced
eateries as well as American fast-food outlets. Whether you crave
Thai, European, or Chinese foods, there is a place for you somewhere
in this fashionable area. Traditional Thai restaurants are flanked
by gaudy fast-food franchises and Japanese suki parlours. Soi
1 has conventional Chinese restaurants.
Bangkok's branch of Hard Rock Cafe is just up the street. Undecided?
Family restaurants such as S&P or New Light have everything
in one menu. Dozens of food stalls sell meatballs, grilled squid.
and fried bananas along the walkways that connect the main streets

- Soi Lang Suan
:
- Fashionable restaurants in Soi Lang Suan present interesting
eating possibilities at medium to high prices. Also home to some
of the most popular jazz pubs in the city, the street's flashy
atmosphere attracts the money crowd in droves after sundown.
Like Sukhumvit Road, Lang Suan offers a diverse mix of Thai,
Asian, and European influences aided by specialised venues such
as the vegetarian-oriented Whole Earth Restaurant and the Chinese
favourite Nguan Lee.
