Local bakery tips

If you want a quick local experience, try the small family-run bakeries in the Ari neighborhood. They might not have flashy storefronts but serve up kanom pang sidaow (coconut custard bread) that tastes like something your grandma would bake.

Also, don’t overlook the street bakeries you see popping up near markets in Bang Rak or Phra Khanong , they often make killer fresh buns and rolls with affordable prices. By the way, if you want to bring something home, pick a loaf of the pandan or taro bread , it’s a nostalgic nod to Thai flavors that you won’t find in typical tourist spots.
