Thai Street Food,

Thai Street Food:

This trip of Thai Street Food we’re traveling to one of our favorite cities in the world—Bangkok, Thailand! Ready to spend an entire week eating, shopping, and exploring the Thai capital.

A quick tip for rides:

Go down one floor and cross the street to the pick-up area. This is the taxi area, and over there is the Grab area. All the taxi tickets are now automated. Our taxi driver didn’t have change, so Ralph had to go get some—very Bangkok situation!

Hotel Arrival:

Thai Street Food is tiny alleyway leads to our hotel, where we were greeted by a little welcoming committee. It’s our first time at this boutique hotel. Here’s our Bangkok hotel tour: when you enter, there’s a small sink, and I love the space. There’s a giant balcony area and this unique bathroom. The balcony feels like being in an old Thai shop house. But the question remains—when do we eat?

Heading Out to Explore:

Now we’re ready to explore Bangkok—one of our favorite cities. Can’t wait to eat, drink, and shop a little. They gave us a little welcome snack—a cashew bunny cookie. The space here is beautifully designed, open, and green. Usually, it’s a cafe, but it was closed when we checked in.

Dinner Time:

While Thai Street Food Walking to dinner at Ralph’s favorite restaurant for Northern Thai food. We had lemongrass, southern Thai fried rice with pork cracklings (wish you could taste how good this green curry chicken is!), lemongrass pork shoulder, deep-fried shrimp omelets, Thai-style green chicken curry with roti. The omelets are simple but always one of the most delicious bites. The fried pork shoulder and green curry were fantastic.

Travel Tip and Coffee Festival:

Early in the trip, we took the BTS train to Silom. Bangkok tip: take the train to skip the traffic. We headed to Central World for a coffee festival. Thailand has some of the best coffee in the world. Nana Coffee in Ari is one of our favorites. At the festival, I learned about unique beans like rum caramel and moonstone blend.

Coffee Roasting Experience:Thai Street Food

We met a Filipino who roasts coffee beans on the spot and explained the honey-processed method from Doi Saket in Chiang Mai. They use passionfruit fermentation to remove the skin during the first two days, then sun-dry for two weeks. The resulting coffee is vibrant, floral, fruity, and easy to drink with notes of apple tart, lychee, pineapple, and lemon.

More Coffee Tasting and Late Night:

There was also lemon fermentation coffee, which uses lemons to remove the skin and gives pineapple-lemon notes—the best beans we bought. Air roasting means no contact with metal, producing a cleaner, brighter flavor. After too much coffee tasting, we did some late-night shopping for Sam’s favorite shoes and ended the night with a floral mango shake.

Tuktuk Ride Home:

Time to find a ride home—it’s tuktuk time! The tuktuk surprisingly took a shortcut through a mall parking lot. What do you think of our first night in Bangkok of Thai Street Food? Our itinerary included green curry, coffee tasting, mango juice, and a little shopping—a peaceful end to our day.

Shopping and Morning Views:

Finally got a new pair of Keen shoes to replace my beat-up ones. I’ve been wearing them for two years now. I wore a skirt from Apara in Manila and my new Keen shoes. Loved that you could see all the neighborhood cats from the balcony.

1.Second Day Outfit and Neighborhood:

Today’s Bangkok fit: secondhand Dickies top from Hanoi, pants from Indonesia, slippers from Fukuoka. Beautiful details on the balcony—we loved waking up to this view. There was a gallery on the second floor with a Moo Deng painting already sold. The cafe is open today with different coffee beans available, including dirty coffee for Sam and coconut coffee.

2. Exploring Local Life and Thai Street Food:

   Walking around the neighborhood, we saw Thai cats and marveled at the variety of street food. People ride bikes to pick up fried snacks, locals grab packed food on their way to work. Breakfast favorites like mu ping (pork skewers), patongo (fried dough) with soy milk, and coconut milk pancakes were delicious. There was some smoke from grilling everywhere.

Final Refreshment of Thai Street Food

Finally, we got our coconut juice during Thai Street Food—the perfect refreshing drink in Thailand.
