I just returned from a two-week trip to Southeast Asia, and I have lots to tell. I'm going to give an overview of the best dishes I had along the way, across Thailand (Bangkok and Chiang Mai), Vietnam (Hanoi), and Singapore. But first, I'm writing about our last day in Bangkok—the city where we began and ended our travels—when, thanks to a few recommendations and insistences from trusted friends, we hit the nail on the head in choosing where to eat both lunch and dinner.
