I like food courts too. My tip, take an umbrella and leave it on a vacant table when you order as it reserves the table.

T21 (terminal 21) must be the cheapest food court in Bangkok?

Most food courts price their dishes in 5 or 10 baht increments, at 40/45/50 baht. T21 is often 37 baht, 39 baht, smaller price increase increments. Overall their prices for any main dish average around 40 baht. Amazingly cheap for the location and the quality.

And overall the quality is good

Serving size is not huge, but it is adequate. At 40 baht a dish you can order 2 or 3 dishes if you feel like a range of Pork, duck, chicken.
There are the standard noodle soups, somtam, fried noodles, vegetarian selections. Water is only 7 baht a bottle, unusually cheap for a foodcourt.

The place does get very busy, so keep an eye out for a vacant seat from the moment you walk in.

T21 food court is located on level 5 of the terminal 21 shopping centre, next to Asoke BTS station.

P.S free water is available in the centre of the seating section. BYO bottle or cup

Here is a review from Daniel


Let’s start with ‘Krua 4 Pak’. This means food from 4 regions of Thailand – from the Central, North, Northeast and South.

Visitors get a food credit card of 1000 baht in value, and orders placed will be charged to that card. You pay when you leave. What I liked was that instead of waiting for the food to be prepared at the stall, the dishes are delivered to your table by service staff. It’s kind of a semi self-service format.



Prices at this part are not exactly cheap – in Bangkok terms though, with a 5% service charge. The dishes are between 120 baht to 390 baht (SGD$4.60-$15, USD$3.70-$12) for a set meal, which is similar in pricing to sit-down cafes and restaurants. But portions are generous.

Street Food Section



I won’t deny I prefer this section where prices are friendlier (50-120 baht) and food tastier and somewhat more authentic.

Many of these stalls are famous ones gathered from Pratunam and Chinatown. I know there are many who would comment that these ‘street food’ is not the real deal anymore. What’s street food without the makeshift tables and spontaneity?

Platinum Mall next to Panthip Plaza, or Coco Walk next to Ratchatawewi BTS, both serve excellent Southern Thai food.

Coco Walk Bangkok

Opening Hours: 16:00 - 01:00

Address: Phayatai Road, Thanon Phetchaburi, Bangkok (Exit 4 from Ratchathewi BTS)

Here is a good blog about coco walk with photos:

www.bangkok.com/magazine/coco-walk.htm

Coco Walk in Bangkok is a lively little alleyway off Phayathai Road in the heart of the city, perfectly set up some bar hopping, Thai-style. The small soi of bars, pubs and restaurants lies in the shadow of the huge Ratchathewi BTS Skytrain Station, meaning that although this might not be the most picturesque drinking spot in town, it’s certainly one of the most convenient – especially if you’re staying in the one of dozens of hotels in the surrounding Pratunam or Ratchathewi area.



Particularly popular with university students, some might turn their noses up at Coco Walk’s slightly ‘rough around the edges’ feel (it’s been around for decades), but that’s all part of its unpretentious, loveable and quintessentially Thai charm.

Smokie, happycamper as already supplied an excellent link for Coco Walk, heres one for Platinum Mall,

Food court on the 6th floor, also possible to get decent Indian food,

Decent Indian food doesn't cut the mustard for veterans of the Sentral Chappati House in Brickfields

- I can't remember if we ever took you there, Smokie? I remember the second-rate place in Bangsar.  Maybe you'll need to ask theBlether about it....
