Best Bangkok Street Food
The following are the best Bangkok Street Food and my absolute favorite.
Pad Kra Pao
Pad Kra Pao Bangkok street food consists of minced pork or chicken stir-fried with Thai basil and chilies and served with white rice. It also consists of a fried egg. There is a definitive taste of this Bangkok street food due to the Thai basil and the chilies make it spicy. If you don't want spicy just ask the vendor to put fewer chilies.
If you are not a fan of spice like me ensure that you ask to put no or fewer chilies or else be ready for a heartburn.

Satay ( Chicken / Pork)
One of the most iconic Bangkok street food in Thailand is Satay. You can find vendors selling Satay in every corner of the street. Head to any vendor and taste these amazing Satay. Few vendors put pineapple in the pork satay and it tastes simply amazing. I especially look for Satay with pineapple.

Banana Pancakes
Banana Pancakes are my absolute favorite Bangkok street food. The way the street vendors make it in Bangkok gives a very unique taste which I have never found in any pancake across the world.
When asking for a Banana Pancake ask the vendor to put in more chocolate sauce as it leads a different blend of taste to the entire pancake.

If you visit any restaurant across the world and ask for Thai food, you will invariably get to hear the name of Pad Thai. This is one of the most common Bangkok street food which people have heard about.

Thai Iced Tea
When I first heard about the Thai Iced Tea I was skeptical to taste it. Somehow I don't like iced tea and I felt that it would have similar taste. However, I was completely wrong when I tasted it.
Thai Iced tea is a very sweet drink which is a mixture of dark tea, sugar, and limes. Have this with a Thai meal or after a great meal on the streets of Bangkok. However not all vendors selling Bangkok street food can make this to perfection.

Kao Niew Ma Muang or Mango Rice
Mango Rice is a very simple Bangkok street food yet extremely delicious. Once you have it you can't forget the taste of it. It is consumed as a dessert. As the name suggests the dessert is made up of sticky rice and mangoes and coconut cream syrup is added on top of it. You will see this dish being served on the streets from April to May when it is the mango season. The dish is sweet to taste.
