Loved by locals, which is how you know it really is good food. This Thai restaurant serves some of the best dishes we have had in Bangkok, therefore a must visit whenever we are in town. Try their unique Tom yum soup which has young coconut meat in it. 

Brought over from Kyoto, the hyper-cool %Arabica coffee chain is steadily growing its Thai footprint. Its outpost in the EmQuartier mall, with a balcony overlooking the courtyard's jungle-dripping waterfall, is one of its prettiest. Order the Spanish Latte. 

Authentic taste, fast service, and reasonable prices. Each steaming bowl of minced pork soup and perfectly flavored tom yum broth is topped with homemade fish balls and, if you so fancy, crispy fish skin.

Looking for the coolest souvenirs of Bangkok? You must head to The Only Market. This cool store has 3 locations, this one in the hip EmSphere, and has clothes, bags, cups, and more made by local artists and artisans.
