   1. Pad Thai:  A flavorful stir-fried rice noodle dish, Pad Thai is the unchallenged king of Thai street cuisine. A mixture of egg, veggies, protein (such as chicken or shrimp), and a tangy, savory, and sweet sauce are combined with thin rice noodles. Lime wedges, bean sprouts, and peanuts give this adaptable dish the last touch.

2. Tom Yum Goong : A classic Thai dish is this fragrant hot and sour soup. The flavor profile is rich and includes elements like shrimp, kaffir lime leaves, galangal (a root that resembles ginger), and lemongrass. To make it creamier, use coconut milk; to make it spicy, use clear broth.

3. Khao Niao Mamuang, or Mango Sticky Rice: This dessert, which is sweet and refreshing, is the ideal way to cap off a savory meal. Warm sticky rice cooked in coconut milk is topped with sweet coconut cream sauce and served with ripe mango slices. It's a real crowd-pleaser because of the bright flavors and contrasting textures.

4. Kuay Tiew Reu Boat Noodles: Try boat noodles for a taste of adventure dining along the canals. Small bowls of thin rice noodles are served with a delicious, thick broth that frequently contains beef or pork. At your request, vendors can add condiments like lime, chiles, and bean sprouts. 

5.Deep-fried chicken, or gai tod:  Famous for its crispy exterior and juicy interior, Gai Tod is a popular street food snack. Batter-coated marinated chicken pieces are deep-fried until golden brown. Usually, it comes with your choice of savory or sweet chili dipping sauce.

6. Satay: Southeast Asia is known for its succulent grilled pork skewers, and Bangkok is no exception. Perfectly grilled marinated chicken, pig, or beef is served with a peanut sauce for dipping. Cucumber slices and peanut relish are frequently served with satay to enhance its flavor and texture.

7. Banana Pancakes, Roti Gluay:  This is a popular grab-and-go breakfast or snack that is sweet and tasty. Sliced bananas are stuffed within pan-fried thin roti, a type of flatbread. For a rich finish, chocolate sauce, condensed milk, or a combination of the two are drizzled over it.
