SAVOUR: Pratunam Night Market Street Food

No doubt Sukhumvit Soi 38 night market is known to serve the best street food in Bangkok. However, if you are not staying around that area, the nearest night market will do the trick to fulfil your Thai street food cravings. We suggest trying the food in Pratunam night market. They are located just beside Platinum Mall on the way to Central World, along the street of Ratchadamri Road selling grill seafoods, fish cooked with salt, the famous moo ping (grilled pork on skewers) and more.

Address: Thanon Ratchadamri, Khwaeng Lumphini, Khet Pathum Wan, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10330 Thailand.

Getting there: Tell the driver to drop you at Central World and walk towards Platinum Mall. You should find the row of street food before reaching Platinum Mall.
