DINING

Enjoy a slap-up meal

Think Covid-19 means you’ll be eating tinned sardines and Mama for the foreseeable? Think again. Some of Bangkok’s best restaurants—including Bo.lan, Eat Me, Mayrai, Haoma and more—are now offering their food for delivery. We advise ordering directly with the restaurant, but where that’s not possible, you can check out the pros and cons of Bangkok’s top food delivery services here.
