Best street food areas that aren't Khao San?
Traveler · 4h
Hostel keeps sending people to Khao San and the pad thai there was meh. Where do you actually eat? Budget OK, BTS/MRT fine.

Skip Khao San for eating — it's buckets not Bangkok food. Victory Monument boat noodles (BTS Victory Monument, before 11:30am). Yaowarat side sois after dark. Or Tor Kor next to Chatuchak for quality produce lunches. Charoen Krung near Wat Mangkon for old-school stalls. Rule: queue of locals = good. Must-try: pad krapow, moo ping, khao man gai, boat noodles, som tam.

Victory Monument boat noodles (BTS same name). Yaowarat after dark. Silom/Convent if staying that side. Khao San is for buckets not food.

Charoen Krung near Wat Mangkon — old-school stalls locals still use.
