About
Bangkok Through My Eyes
A personal, living guide to Thailand's capital - restaurants, places, temples, nightlife, celebrations, and trips - through the lens of someone who actually eats and lives in the city.
The story behind the site
I've lived, eaten and wandered Bangkok across many seasons. This site was born from frustration: Google search results for 'Bangkok food' are noisy, but real, personal, honest judgment is rare. Every restaurant, place, or vendor here - I've visited or, at the very least, ordered delivery from. If something is wrong, it's on me.
No sponsorships, no paid placements, no ads. The single goal is to save you time, point you to genuinely great food, and help you feel at home in the city.
How the rating works
Every restaurant is scored across 5 Michelin-style dimensions: place (atmosphere), cleanliness, portion-to-price, taste, and service. Each dimension is scored 0-10. The final score is a weighted average of the dimensions I could actually evaluate. If I dined in, you see all 5. If it was delivery-only, sometimes you see only 2 (taste and portion-to-price) - that is normal and transparently labeled.
