The roadside food stalls are not only culinary hotspots, but also windows into the Thai way of life. Here you can not only enjoy exquisite dishes, but also feel the passion and dedication of the local chefs. The street markets, such as the famous Chatuchak Weekend Market or the lively Asiatique Night Market, are treasure troves for foodies. Here you can taste your way through the culinary diversity, from exotic fruits to deep-fried delicacies, and soak up the atmosphere of the hustle and bustle.
