Best Eats in the Heart of Bangkok

By Robert Schrader and Tyler Bohlman

Listen to this article

Bangkok's Sathorn district is a traveler’s gold mine hiding in plain sight. A business hub during the day, Sathorn bustles at night with a host of dining and nightlife options near Marriott Vacation Club® at The Empire Place©, Bangkok. Although not as well-known as the adjacent Silom district, Sathorn boasts its own distinct range of food and drink experiences.*

Savor Sathorn

Sathorn is not just known for restaurants. It also offers plenty of belly-filling street food. The most satisfying spot is within Soi 8, an alley off the main Suan Phlu Road. Thai favorites offered here include khaaw pad bpuu (crab-fried rice), pad see ew (stir-fried rice noodles with dark soy sauce), and, of course, the classic pad thai.

Looking for a more upscale meal? Baan Khanitha, also home to a traditional Thai art gallery, serves favorites like gaeng kiaw wan (green curry) and tom yum goong (hot and sour shrimp soup) inside an old teak house — with five-star service.

For something even more refined, Le Du, a Michelin-starred establishment that critics have ranked as the best restaurant in Asia, uses Thai flavors as a foundation for innovative, modern cuisine. Make sure to reserve a table as soon as possible after you confirm your trip to Bangkok, as the restaurant can fill up days or even weeks in advance.

Bangkok, Thailand

Clink, Drink, Repeat

Bangkok is famous for sky bars — and Sathorn is no exception. Sip cocktails surrounded by city lights with evening tickets to the observation deck at King Power Mahanakhon (Thailand's second-tallest building at just over 1,000 feet high). Ask the rooftop bartender for your favorite beverage and say "cheers" to a stunning panorama.

The city’s legendary Vertigo & Moon Bar sits on the 61st floor atop the Banyan Tree Hotel. Experience amazing skyline views, a wide range of appetizers, main courses, and a full bar filled with local and international flavors. Grab an outdoor table to watch Bangkok's hundreds of skyscrapers sparkle as you sip and snack. Or dine indoors one floor below, but make sure to ascend at least once to take in a full view of Thailand's City of Angels.

For an experience that's a bit more grounded, the House on Sathorn (which also houses a high-end Thai seafood restaurant called Paii) is probably the best street-level cocktail spot in the area. It serves up thoughtfully mixed Thai-inspired cocktails like The Present, a combination of rum sake, passionfruit vinegar, vanilla, and orange bitters. Your setting is a low-lit, century-old mansion that takes you back in time as the night heats up.

From spicy street food to beautifully presented Thai favorites, soaring sky bars to high-end watering holes at ground level, Sathorn sets the tone for an eye-opening Bangkok vacation.
