Thipsamai Padthai Pratoopee

11 Best Street Food Spots in Bangkok

"Thipsamai Padthai has been named the best pad thai in Thailand by the Prime Minister Plaek Phibunsongkhram, and it also has a Bib Gourmand from the Michelin Guide. The recipe has been passed down from grandmother to mother and, now, to son, and the staff here still uses the same cooking method—over charcoal and mangrove wood—to ensure the best flavor. There are several types of pad thai to choose from, but order the signature Superb, with shrimp oil, giant shrimp, squid, crab, and mango all wrapped in paper-thin egg. Coincidentally, it's right next to Raan Jay Fai in Phra Nakhon, and there will always be a line outside, but be patient and wait your turn. This is a must-visit if you're in Bangkok, full stop." - Katie Lockhart
