I've taken a trip to Bangkok last April and while I always read about the unusual delicacies street vendors offer, I didn't really find a cart selling them. I'm leaving for Bangkok again on June. I'm hoping to eat all the unusual food street vendors have to offer. I might be staying at Amari in front of Pantip Mall. How do I get to those interesting food stalls from here? Thanks in advance for whatever info anyone has to offer.

I don't know...I'm just curious and have always wanted to give it a go. Heard a lot about it in Bangkok and have been curious ever since. thanks for the suggestion!
