Is The NEW Terminal 21 Bangkok's CHEAPEST Food Court In 2023 🇹🇭 Terminal 21 Rama 3

[@FOCUSonASIA13]

just found your site and am amazed you don't have more subscribers..i've watched a heck of a lot youtubers roaming around Bangkok and yours is the best..your mix of local and tourist locations are a wonderful. Your deep dive over dishes is so very welcome. As an elderly solo traveller I do a lot of research before I come to Bangkok. I find it easy to get around but you've expanded my reach so much more and for that I thank-you..

T21 food court is cheap and taste really good. They are also very clean. Great place for first timers to Thailand who dare not yet venture to the market and street food stalls.

[@thepoppu5795]

The reason why the price of food in this food court is cheaper than other places is that the owner of the Terminal 21 doesn't charge the rental fee.Instead, the owner uses a form of store-sharing along with the rule that the price of food must not be expensive.

[@thanaang1455]

Wow new mall next to the river! It is a bit far from the city.

[@theroamingcook]

Yeah a good addition to this side of town 😀

[@death2putin718]

This place looks better than the original T21 because the food is on display here (more counter space with hot warmers) whereas the original is cooked in the back (minimal counter space) and all you see are photos of the dishes or plastic models.

[@theroamingcook]

I prefer it but maybe it’s because there are no people here!

Hey man can you do a video of the menu items in a canteen or two around the Sukhumvit mall tower areas? Sorry I forget the names... I'm looking for a dish that is mostly eaten for breakfast but served/eaten all day long... It's kinda like the jok porridges if I remember correctly but it has no rice and it's a thick syrup like soup (not sweet or spicy) with big green leaves (maybe bok choy) and some American/English style dumplings like flour biscuits not like won ton dumplings ... Can't remember the name for the life of me... Very popular dish in Thailand proper but not seen in that restaurants stateside nearly as much

Would you say the food is good quality and the preparation is sanitary at the food court, when comparing to street food? I ask because this may be important for first-timers, and tourists visiting Bangkok, may be wise to "initially" eat food that is safer for the stomach when it comes to introducing the regional food bacteria etc.

[@phoebeampm4794]

From what I heard, food at Terminal 21 throughout Thailand is cheap b/c the food vendors don't pay rent. The owner/s of the building/s want to help make food affordable and of course good in hope of bringing more customers to shop at the Terminals. And, I'll have to say I like this. Food should be cheap and affordable (and good) for everyone regardless where you get it as we have plenty of it in Thailand. No one should ever go hungry here Period.
