Today I’m doing what I’m always preaching by getting out of my comfort zone and heading to Sukhumvit in Central Bangkok in search of some authentic Thai street food.
I’m headed to the upmarket area of Phrom Phong to try two very different back alley noodles. One is a super famous pork noodle soup shop, famed for its highly flavourful broth. The other is an unknown northern Thai restaurant serving up a seriously great khao soi.
Rung Rueang Pork Noodle (Left Shop) didn’t disappoint, the dry Tom Yum were great and the soup was as flavour packed as expected! This is one of the best pork broths you’ll find in Bangkok at this price point.
Two bowls with orange juice was 140 thb £2.90 / $3.65
I also at the Northern Thai restaurant, I had Kanom Jeen Nam Ngiow (pork in tomato broth with rice noodles), laab kua (Northern laab salad) and Sai Ua (Chiang Mai sausage). The Nam Ngiow was top 5 I’ve had anywhere!
The whole khao soi/Northern Thai feast came to 250 THB – £5.82 / $7.32 which is crazy cheap with the centre of Bangkok!

This is a prime example of why I love Bangkok so much. There’s just so much food to explore here! Whether you are in Chinatown, the Old City, Thonburi or here in Sukhumvit, you can always find amazing Thai food in Bangkok

My name’s Gary and I’ve been living in Bangkok for the past five plus years and travelling Thailand for over ten. I’m obsessed with Thai street food and it’s that obsession that led me to start this YouTube channel. I want to share my favourite hidden spots in Bangkok and the rest of Thailand so you can fall in love with authentic, local Thai food as much as I have!
I’ve never understood travelling to a town or city and not eating the local food. How else do you really connect with a place? Let’s get out and explore together and I guarantee you’ll find a whole different side to this wonderful country.
If you love seeing off the beaten path, non-touristy, local life and authentic local life in Bangkok and Thailand then this is the channel for you. If go go bars on the Sukhumvit Road are more your thing (I’m not judging) then maybe not!

Tom yum or Khao soi?
Last time I saw a bowl of that deep fried garlic in Thailand, I asked the vendor to make me 2 large jars to take home with me😋👍
I like the new intro! Reminds me of Jeremy Wade from River Monsters! I have a new game as well, take a shot when Gary talks about sweet stuff😜
Do you find it hard to explain the difference between the TomYum Noodles soup vs the TomYum Goong? Many westerners are familiar with the classic Thai TomYum Goong but when faced with the option of TomYum Noodles many make the mistKe that it would be the same style broth, but they are quite diff from each other. Not too manyThai rest opened in western countries will even bother to carry the noodles soup. Western clients are not familiar.
You should consider doing an on the street (as you are), then pairing that with a make at home/recreate at home video.
Fried fish skin 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Request: visit to Rangsit Market 😊
I think you`r next level food discribing, it is always a pleasure to hear the ingredients. Kap khun mak ka 🙏any soup or dish is my fav. Lol😋Cant wait to go back to Thailand…. have you ever been to Ranong ? we had the most delish experience in a soup stall away from tourist places, we eated 2 bowls ! I Love Thailand food & your work Gary✌🔥💛
Rung Rueng: A must stop for us every time we’re in BKK. So sad that we missed you there!!! 👊
I saw that your episode called "LIVE FROM BANGKOK 🇹🇭 THE RAIN IS COMING!" is members only. Why is that? Someone with a measly 50k subscriber base with content that mirrors dozens of others does not really warrant having content that is members only. Cheeky Pinner-barrow-boy tactics. You want over 200 quid a year for membership, that is more than a UK TV license, in fact it is more than my yearly broadband fee. Your mate Paddy demands even more. I know there are muppets who will pay, but I would rather save my money to come and eat at the 100's of places you have already published, Good luck
Great food again mate thanks for sharing 😊
Where do people recommend for good Thai food near the Novotel at Sukhumvit 20?
Awesome! Gary คุณพูดใด้หลายภาษา ไทย อีสานและภาษาเหนือ👏👏👏
I'm glad that you enjoy Thai food.

These two shops are brothers and sisters because the big shop is their daughter. study school with me When I was elementary school 6, the school's English teacher went to teach English at this shop in the evening. My brother and I went to study English at this home. His daughter is my friend. It is the most delicious Tom Yum noodle restaurant that I have ever eaten.
