Staying in? Bangkok's food delivery scene is extensive, fast, and cheap — how to order and what's worth it.
GrabFood and Foodpanda dominate; both have excellent app interfaces in English; Robinhood is a Thai-owned alternative.
Thai food, sushi, pizza, burgers, fried chicken — essentially everything; smaller independent restaurants usually on at least one platform.
A 60 THB street food dish becomes 100–130 THB delivered after platform fees and delivery charge — still cheap, but 50–100% markup is common.
20–40 minutes typical in central Bangkok; longer in traffic; real-time tracking on both apps.
Rain days, jet lag recovery, late-night cravings (available until midnight or later in most areas), recovering from illness.
Both major apps accept cards and popular Thai digital wallets, and cash-on-delivery is still an option at most restaurants if preferred.
Menus are generally in English within the apps, and photos accompany most dishes — ordering rarely requires any Thai beyond confirming an address if the map pin is slightly off.
