A Guide to Restaurants We Love with Delivery Options in Bangkok

PUBLISHED April 13th, 2020 06:21 pm | UPDATED July 25th, 2024 01:50 pm

In the middle of pulling this article together, the Thai government announced a ban on alcohol sales from 10-20 April 2020 to discourage social gatherings over the Songkran public holidays, on top of a daily curfew from 10am-4pm. There have been mumblings of the ban being extended till end of the month, so we’ve decided to save the alcohol for another list. Hopefully, if you’re stuck in Bangkok (like me with my adopted soi cat), you’ll find this list helpful like what we’ve done with lists of restaurants, bars, and cafes that deliver in Singapore!

Thai
