Good Meals in Sukhumvit Bangkok for under 100 Baht

As the businesses in Lower Sukhumvit Bangkok go up market it is harder and harder to get a cheap meal in the area. There is plenty of street carts selling a range of cheap Thai food but mostly now there are high end restaurants and bars selling meals at almost international prices. Here are some recommended meals in the Lower Sukhumvit area which you can still get for under 100 Thai Baht:

The best and cheapest meal I’ve had in Sukhumvit so far was the Khao Man Gai (Hainanese Chicken Rice) for 32 Baht. With a large pepsi and bottle of water, my lunchtime meal came to 65 Baht. This was at Store 3 of the Pier 21 Food Court, within Terminal 21 Shopping mall, located next to Asoke BTS Skytrain Station and the Sukhumvit BTS Station.

Krua Khun Puk is located on the corner of Soi 11/1. This place is an institution, it’s been serving up cheap, tasty Thai food at very affordable prices for many many years. The cheapest in Krua Khun Puk is a 50 Baht bowl of Braised Pork Noodle Soup + 20 Baht for can of coke = 70 Baht

Khao Soi Soup – located in a small alleyway connecting Soi 11/1 with Soi 11 (just opposite Krua Khun Puk), you can get a 60 Baht bowl of Northern Thailand Soi Khao coconut based soup + 20 baht for bottle of water – 80 Baht

Bangkok Burgers – 99 Baht chicken burgers or 149 Baht Beef Burger, Most burgers sold on Soi 11 Sukhumvit are around 240 – 260 Baht, Bangkok Burgers sell a snack sized burger, you can order a larger burger for 249 but then there are other burger joints on Soi 11 selling much better quality burgers for around 240 Baht.

Ruam Saab Food Market located on Asok Montri Rd about 10 minutes walk from Asok BTS Station is a hidden gem. Ruam Sab Food Market is very popular with the local office worker and University students as you can get many meals here for between 60 – 80 Baht. You can get loads of classic Thai food like Pad Krapow (Holy basil) or Pad Thai noodles.

For one of the cheapest Shawarmas in Bangkok, head to Soi 3 which is often refered to as Soi Arab due to the large number of Arab restaurants. Here you will find Mahmoud Shawarma Restaurant which serves a Chicken Shawarma for only 80 Baht.
