7 Spots for Superb Street Food in Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand

Eating is huge in Bangkok, and luckily for the famished, you won't be that way for long, regardless of the hour. You can find conglomerations of vendors selling five-star fast food (in the you-won't-have-to-wait-long-to-enjoy-it sense, not McDonald's style) for under 100 baht (roughly $3.30), beginning at the crack of dawn until well past midnight, pretty much anywhere within the city limits of the Thai capital's tourist districts. Whether you opt to get your fast food fix inside a shopping mall (making Bangkok鈥檚 retail palaces as much of a must-visit destination as the ones where Siamese royalty used to reside) or on the side of the road, satisfaction is pretty much guaranteed. Then you can sweat it off on your walk back to the hotel! The bottom line: In Bangkok, you don't have to go to expensive restaurants to enjoy fine, five-star quality dining. In fact, you don't even have to leave the sidewalk!

If running around Lumpini Park at the crack of dawn doesn鈥檛 sound like your idea of starting the day right, get ready for the biggest guilt trip in Bangkok. Every morning, as a procession of fitness freaks and marathoners-in-training circle the green oasis in the middle of sex-and-sin city, dozens of independent vendors set up food stalls in the area surrounding the park that extends from the sidewalk outside of entrance/exit 5 to the plaza just before entrance/exit 7, catering to early risers and the sweaty masses with and without exercise on their mind. If you opt to indulge on site, you鈥檒l have a perfect view of joggers burning calories while you consume them. Oh, the guilt! Sunday (beginning around 6am) is the big morning for this outdoor mom-and-pop food court and grocer rolled into one, with pre-prepared and made-to-order Thai food, freshly squeezed orange juice and various sweet treats on sale, and fresh fish, meat, fruits and vegetables on the raw menu for foodies, who鈥檇 rather burn calories in their own kitchens, cooking up tasty delights in the comfort 鈥� and coolness 鈥� of home. ......
