Today we’re going on a Thai street food tour at Talad Phlu (ตลาดพลู) to see how much we can eat all day for only $20!

Talad Phlu (ตลาดพลู) is one of Bangkok’s oldest neighborhoods, with roots going back over 200 years to the early Rattanakosin era. The name translates to "Betel Market," because the area was once filled with betel nut plantations and traders who sold them here at this market. While the betel trade is long gone, Talad Phlu remains a living slice of old Bangkok—home Thai Chinese communities, the iconic railroad, and of course famous Thai street food!

Talat Phlu Beef Noodle Soup (ต.จันทร์เพ็ญ เกาเหลาเนื้อเปื่อย ตลาดพลู https://maps.app.goo.gl/Gx7iCbDXn7NDyGFGA) - We’re starting with beef noodles at a legendary place near the market. Price - 100 THB ($3.05)
