Bangkok is truly a haven for foodies as it offers some of the best food in the world. One of the best things about this country is that you don’t need to visit a five-star restaurant to taste some delicious food. Instead, you can try some fantastic food from hole-in-the-wall restaurants and even street vendors. However, to ensure that you have a good experience, you first need to know which dishes to try out.
