Bang Khun Non (บางขุนนนท์) is deeply layered with a community of Thai food vendors and restaurateurs whose morals dictate them to serve Bangkok’s highest quality of street food.
Whereas many of Bangkok’s best street food eating scenes are marked by rambunctious traffic and dek waan (racing motorbike kids), Bang Khun Non is not nearly as rowdy – a place where you don’t have to worry about getting hit while eating!
Bang Khun Non is the source of Som Tam Boo Maa (ส้มตำปูม้า), one of my all-time favorite restaurant for Isan food. There are also many other great restaurants on the streets, serving dishes like yen ta fo (เย็นตาโฟ Thai pink noodle soup), khao ka moo (pork leg over rice), and roast duck (pbet yang)
How to get there: Bang Khun Non (บางขุนนนท์) is located in the Thonburi area of Bangkok, across the river from the bulk of the city. Best way to get there is by taxi. It’s not far from the awesome Baan Silapin or the Taling Chan floating market.
Open hours: Lunch and dinner
Optional restaurants in the area: Som Tam Boo Maa ส้มตำปูม้า (one of my favorite Isan restaurants in Bangkok, video), to be honest with you, I rarely eat anywhere else on Bang Khun Non, because this restaurant is so incredibly good.
