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 KZfaq 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!

As a local, I can confirm that food court at Terminal 21 is among the cheapest in shopping malls. With decent foods and variety. The vegetarian store was pretty nice. The fruit blend juice bar was unique. The food court had been the cheapest since the beginning and still is to this day.

Nice review. I've been to the Terminal 21 food court a lot when I've been in Bangkok. I usually go for lunch if it's raining, or if it's too hot to be wandering around in the sun, which is quite often. The rest of the food floors have a number of international chains as well as local restaurants. For instance, Korean Bonchon Chicken, Japanese Coco Curry and Yoshinoya, etc. Another great value is in the sub basement where there's a Japanese teppanyaki place where you can get a nice chicken teppanyaki set for around US$5.

Almost all the stalls are wonderful, with great fruit smoothies and mango sticky rice. Plus there is more food safety guarantees and the AC!

Nice to see you giving this place a crack, duchess! Glad you went to the back kiosk at the end, it's always empty and saves being in a 20 person long queue. I always go to this place once or twice per trip, for staying in the Asoke area it's very convenient at times - as long as you can get past the whole ghastly premise of the mall. Some days I have a big lunch somewhere (like Bang Lamphu lol) and skip dinner time, then when I get off the BTS/MRT around 9pm most street vendors are gone for the day and all that's out there are the guys selling grilled or deep fried food only. So it's handy to pop in here and choose from a selection, even if it is a bit too sterile overall. I would say it's no coincidence that you gave the food a 5/5 when you ordered 3 stewed dishes. They also have solid Kao Mun Gai and noodle soups. Basically anything that's just left to cook on its own for hours will be good here. I wouldn't bother with a stir fry, though. Much better from a small vendor outside who has perfected the dish over many years like Auntie Pien and that bossy daughter of hers. 1 observation is that I've had the Kao Ka Moo there probably 10 times over the years, and they gave you almost a double portion cos they realised you're doing a vlog. So anybody that goes there, make sure you have your phone in 1 hand and talk into it to make them think it's free advertising, and you'll get 50% more food! Oh and there's also a place next to the "beverage" stall that does quality fruit smoothies for about 30-35 thb

@theroamingcook 2 жыл бұрын

I wholeheartedly agree mate. It’s a good spot if you don’t mind feeling like you’re eating in a school canteen! That’s interesting about the stewed items, that makes total sense and would apply to any food court I guess so top tip!

I recall some years ago when I was eating at the food court that the prices were very good. I don't know if it's true or not but a local told me that they keep the prices low in the food court to attract people to the mall to shop which is not a bad idea if true. There are so many malls and keeping the cost low at Terminal 21 brings in people to the mall.

I have only got food poisoning from quite/slow tourist restaurants! Difficult to know when new in 'town; but go where the locals go, or seem busy over a few days, Cold salads etc can be your down fall over cooked. Even BBQ chicken off the back of a push cart is safer than cold stuff!

Been to Bangkok 3 times. Got indigestion once and a slight tummy ache. That was the worst of it, having eaten every "interesting" food I could find. I ate nearly 100% street food, I loved it. Know how to ask about food allergies if you have them. Beyond that just look for what appears safe'ish that you're comfortable with. While yeah, food safety is sort of optional, it's bad for business if their customers get sick.

Great shows, Gary!! Raining season is coming, is there a flood resistant area in Thailand that you can recommend to live ? an area where you don't have to deal with worsening flooding issues. Thanks

I don’t think I’m qualified to tell you where to live but I love Bangkok!

It's definately the best food court that I have ever eaten at and the khao kha moo, I reckon, is the star of the show. An absolute bargain and great respite from either the heat or the rain!

It’s very good for the price and yeah khao kha moo as you say. I prefer Icon Siam but I live nearby so I’m biased!

Taking into account the food itself, price, atmosphere, hygiene, etc., T21's 5th floor food court is easily the best in Thailand. Even the utensils are of a high quality (for a food court!).

what happens if you are buying at the counter and you find out you don't have enough funds in it? Do you need to cancel your order, go to card counter again to replenish? Or, what if you had lunch and have remaining funds...are you able to get a refund?

Hi Gary! At 04:22...it sounded like you asked for fried chicken (gai tod) instead of moo tod. Regardless, khao kha moo for 39 baht is ridiculously cheap! Here in Southern California where there are tons of Thai food, we pay nearly $10 (300 baht) for that same dish! For 39 baht or $1.16 UDS, I could eat about five plates!

He did ask for fried chicken instead of pork. I had to rewind to double check. He did make an on screen correction of asking for Hainanese chicken rice when ordering biriyani.

It normally around 50 baht in common quality street food too only cheapest one do a 30-40 baht so the one in terminal21 is extra cheap with above average quality
