Re: Eating in Bangkok
Not sure whether anyone mentioned the food stalls at soi convent. For me when I go shopping at Taniya for golf items (BTS Sala Daeng) I will definitely go to soi convent for lunch. The whole street is full of hawker stalls selling cheap delicious wanton mee, chicken noodle, pig leg rice, duck meat etc and many restaurant/coffeshop.
This is the place the office people working at silom go for their lunch hence got lots of pui ying to see and share table as you have your lunch (not sure whether the stalls open for dinner or not). If you take the BTS to Sala Daeng station ( Patong), walk down the stairs on the left side, opp patong and walk in the same direction towards the next station Chong Nonsi for about 50m and turn left, soi convent. Yo cant miss as you would see foodstall at the start of the street.
One tip, if you dont turn left and continue walking straight down instead for about 5 mins, you will come across Bangkok bank and soi silom 5 on your left. This is talat lalaisap (literally means come spend all your money) where there are hundreds of stalls selling clothes and stuff and food something like those stalls opp Bugis Junction. You can come here after your lunch at soi convent to shop as most office workers do. Open from 9am to around 3pm on weekdays only
