4. Maedah Restaurant
The food at Maedah Restaurant represents a medley of different cuisines which is perfect if you're having trouble making up your mind over what to eat! Located in Pratunam, which is one of Bangkok’s major shopping area, the restaurant makes for a great pit stop while you’re exploring the area.
5. Samat Muslim Food
Here's another eatery you should visit while in Pratunam - Samat Muslim Food! Most people might walk past this humble eatery without noticing it but it's located just opposite Pratunam Market and just a 3-minute walk away from ARL Ratchaprarop Station.
The food at Samat is comforting especially after a long day being out and about. Plus, it’s highly affordable as well. One of their specialties that you shouldn’t miss here is their refreshing Tom Yum which is sour, spicy and tangy all at once.
Their Papaya Salad is also worth trying – it’s crunchy, spicy and full of flavour. If you’re travelling in a big group, indulge in their whole fish dishes like stir-fried and steamed seabass which are perfect for sharing!

Halal roast duck in Bangkok? We kid you not! With Bangkok having a wide mix of cultures from all around Asia, it’s no surprise that a Chinese dish like roast duck has become part of Thai cuisine.

Busaba might seem far and out of the way as it’s located in Dusit, away from the main shopping areas in Bangkok, but trust us, its yummy roast duck is enough reason to visit! Plus, here’s your chance to explore another district of Bangkok, which many travellers haven’t been to.
