Welcome back Thai food fans, today we hit Victory Monument, Bangkok’s most iconic round a bout. The area is not only well know for epic traffic jams, but also for being a hotspot for street food. Most notable the tiny bowls of boat noodles that cost a few cents on the dollar, each. To help me throw down a few I’m joined by TJ who has a rapidly growing youtube channel where she posts great travel videos from all over the world.

Each boat noodle bowl costs 12 baht or $0.33 per bowl! That's ridiculously cheap, but in the past they cost even less, so the small portions hardly matter to hungry diners. Boat noodles are the style of blood broth noodle hailing from the era when most of life in Bangkok centered around the canals (aka khlong) that run through the city. Floating food vendors were common and the noodle stalls used small bowls they could pass to customers on land easily. So much has changed since then, but in order to show their authenticity to toward to the original way of making them, many stalls today serve them in similarly small bowls.

You have a few to choose from, but our favorite was the beef bowl. You get to choose your favorite noodle with it and there are a couple of crunchy things like pork rinds and fried wontons that you can add to your bowl for more texture.

This stall may be the most popular in Boat Noodle Alley and is over 20 years old. The full name of the restaurant is Sood Yod Kwaytheeo Reua Pa Yak (ร้านสุดยอดก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรือป๋ายักษ์) and the place is furiously busy and definitely unapologetically noisy!
