As we all know, Bangkok is one of the best city in the world for street food and food lover. Therefore, here is a list of best secret spots for Bangkok street food we feel you shouldn’t miss out on when you’re in Rattanakosin Island.

1. Lueng Pha Pad Thai 

For more than 40 years, Leung Pha Pad Thai is a restaurant devoted to Thailand’s most famous authentic noodle dish. This restaurant is not only good but excellent. They use traditional noodles and cook over a charcoal fire instead of gas. It is literally located next to the other Pad Thai restaurant (Thip Samai). However, Leung Pha Pad Thai is more local and the atmosphere is more relaxing which perfect for people who are looking for non touristy place to eat (as you don’t have to wait in a long queue like the next busier pad Thai restaurant). Don’t forget to order fresh orange juice! It is a great combination with Pad Thai.
