A few insider tips

If I had to recommend one local tip, try going to Korean restaurants during lunchtime,they often have set menus that save you money and come with side dishes you won’t get in dinner service.

And if you’re staying near Ekkamai or Thonglor, step inside a small Korean bakery , the sweet red bean buns there are a nice little treat after a spicy meal. Finally, don’t underestimate the food courts in big malls like Terminal 21 or EmQuartier; some of the Korean stalls tucked away there serve surprisingly authentic dishes for a quick, tasty fix.
