The area boasts numerous food outlets proudly featured in the Michelin Guide. Dive deeper into Bang Lamphu’s heritage with a visit to the Bang Lamphu Museum, offering insights into the area’s fascinating past.

Banthat Thong emerges as a vibrant addition to the thriving surroundings of Chulalongkorn University, affectionately known as a food lover’s paradise.

Gather your MICE group for a team-building session amidst the verdant greenery of Chulalongkorn Centenary Park, followed by a tantalising food tour along Banthat Thong Road. Immerse yourselves in the lively atmosphere and savour the authentic flavours of Bangkok’s culinary delights. The restaurants and food kiosks kick start the day from noon, but the true colourful and vibrant moments come to life during dinner and late night every day.
