Bangkok is claimed to be the city that never stops eating. Bangkokians usually find themselves eating out at night, especially street food, which the city is also well-known for.

Be taken for a ride and make various food stops at local places in which even smells will ignite one's taste buds. From the best kept-secret Guay Tiew Gai, one of the best Pad Thai in town, and Sukiyaki with seafood, all bites will truly be pleasing. All are guaranteed by Michelin Guide under a special award “The Bib Gourmand”. Also, to delight more taste buds, have some local desserts along the way.

Between the bites, make some nice stomach breaks at the city’s old town landmarks. Visit Wat Suthat, one of the famous iconic sights of Bangkok for a night time perspective, and here, be wowed by its illuminated chedis while learning all about the history of the temple. Then, take in the night spot of the Giant Swing right in front of the temple.

The night comes to a perfect close as the tuk tuk makes its final stop at Sky View 360, Grand China Hotel. Head up to the revolving rooftop and sip on a chilled Thai beer or your favorite non-alcoholic drink while the 360-degree panorama slowly reveals Bangkok’s dazzling skyline. Enjoy the sparkling city lights, the lively Chinatown below, and the unforgettable view that makes this hidden gem one of the city’s most magical night spots.
