Eight Enticing Ways To Improve Your Thailand Tourism Skills

This is one of those famous places that tourists would flock to like Som Tum Nua and if you're planning to eat here - be sure to book or come during non peak hours. Thankfully - Somboon has a branch located on the 4th floor of Siam Square One.

Somboon Seafood has many branches and taxi drivers can sometimes try to scam you and bring you to SomBoon Dee, which is a more expensive and not as nice version. Wished we could had ordered more dishes to try! Mary, Jule and Abby (Ren Ching and me not in the pics) had a good lunch here.

Ban Khun Mae also has a pretty good comfortable ambience. I have to say their glass noodles salad is one of the best I've tasted and we were happily enjoying this - it took the limelight off the baked prawns glass noodles dish which we usually enjoy! Get ready your glasses of water - it's hot hot hot!

I have to say I love the fresh herbs and vegetables they serve with the spicy chili dips on the side! It's quite a big area so you might need to walk a bit - but with Google Map's walking navigation - this shouldn't be a problem. Just take a BTS to Siam Station and you're set to go!

These will be the easiest places to find for a tourist as it's located at the central area of Bangkok. If no feasts planned during your visit you can still find these dips on restaurant menus matched with nibbles of Kap Moo (deep fried pork skins), sticky rice and a selection of vegetables. My preferred dipping sauce however is the ‘Nam Prik Noom' a fiery dip combining flavours of toasted green chilli, onion and garlic.

‘Nam Prik Ong' is the more popular of dips a blend of red, birds-eye chillies with pork and tomato. Both the above are popular Northern Thai chilli sauces; both essential eating at every Khantoke table. For 35 baht, you will get refreshing, rich and soft coconut ice cream, slices of coconut flesh, 2 toppings of your choice and a complimentary cup of fresh coconut juice, a much needed thirst quencher when shopping under the intense heat.

You should be able to spot this store easily as it is always crowded. There are several stalls selling Coconut Ice Cream but the one I'm recommending is served in Information about Thailand a coconut husk. It is also something which you will never regret buying, unless you don't take coconut.

Trust me, you really need this to cool down after a few hours at the market. I have tried several Coconut Ice Creams in Bangkok along the streets and I can safely say that the best and most affordable Coconut Ice Cream in Bangkok is at Chatuchak (Jatuchak / JJ) Weekend Market! The warm butter bread + cold ice cream + soft whipped cream + sweet maple syrup will explode in your mouth.
