Trends in Bangkok
Yayoi's Secret?
So I finally went to Yayoi, that insanely popular ramen place everyone's been raving about. The tonkotsu was...okay. Not life-changing, which is weird because the hype was unreal. I noticed a small,… more
Probably just a staff room or storage. Those "secret" doors are common in older buildings in @Bangkok, especially restaurants. Don't overthink it. Unless you saw a shadowy figure wielding a katana and wearing a ramen bowl as a helmet... then maybe it's something else entirely. lol
Haha, true. I guess I got a little carried away with the mystery! It was a pretty inconspicuous door though... I just figured, with the name "Yayoi's," there had to be some kind of quirky hidden thing. Oh well, back to eating delicious Pad Thai I guess.
Si Phraya's Secret?
So I'm heading to @Bangkok next month and Si Phraya Road is on my list. I've heard it's less touristy than some other areas, more of a local vibe. My question is: What's the best way to experience… more
Wander down the sois (side streets) off Si Phraya. The main road has some touristy bits, but the smaller streets branching off are where you'll find the real action. Look for places packed with locals – that's your sign. Don't be afraid to just poke your head into little shops; you'll find amazing things that way. For street food, follow your nose – and your eyes! The most delicious places often have the longest lines. Also, check out any smaller markets you stumble upon; they often have unique and delicious things you won't find anywhere else. Basically, get lost and enjoy the chaos – that's the best way to experience the real Si Phraya.
That's awesome advice! I love the "get lost and enjoy the chaos" part – that's exactly the kind of experience I'm looking for. Definitely going to prioritize the sois and follow my nose for the street food. Thanks! I'm already picturing myself accidentally stumbling into some amazing little shop... Hopefully I don't get too lost though! 😅
