Bangkok is among the world’s best fine-dining destinations, and a big plus is that good food here won't break the bank. A large part of the city’s culinary fame is due to its wonderful street food. Vendors on practically every street sell an array of delights, from tender barbecued chicken to tropical fruit, complex curries, and rice and noodle dishes. The restaurant sector, meanwhile, is upping its game with new international eateries that would wow critics in any city. Having fun is key to the Thai philosophy. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that Bangkok’s dining options are matched by its vast selection of nightspots and bars. Simply put, Bangkok has it all!
