Easy Thai and Asian recipes, travel tips and more Hi I'm Gary Butler and I'm obsessed with food, especially Thai food and Southeast Asian food!

Ever since I first stepped foot in Thailand back in 2009 I've been in love with the country, the people and most of all the food! So much so that I have been at least once a year ever since and am now packing up my painting and decorating business in London and moving to Bangkok. I want to show everyone reading this that cooking Thai food doesn't have to be complicated, it's very easy. If I, a 30 something painter and decorator with no formal cooking training can do it, you can certainly do it believe me. A lot of my recipes take only 20 mins from start to finish! I hear people say "There's so many ingredients to buy, it's so expensive just to cook one dish" but as you'll find out you'll be using the same ingredients over and over in a lot of recipes so the more you make, the cheaper it becomes! I usually plan my travels around food (sometimes driving my long suffering girlfriend to insanity) so I sometimes end up in places where I don't see a western tourist for days just to get to taste something I've never had before. I want to share these experiences and the recipes I've collected along way with you, not forgetting the obvious Thai classics. I want to get you excited about cooking Thai food! Some of what I put up will be what I'd call western versions of Thai food i.e what you'd get in a Thai restaurant back home as I know it can be tricky getting some ingredients but mostly I'll be sharing authentic dishes from all over Thailand and the rest of Asia. One thing i promise you is that you WILL love the food!

You NEED to Try This Bangkok BBQ in London 🇹🇭🇬🇧

Bangkok has landed in West London.

If you’re looking for a proper summer BBQ, you’ve got to check out the Bangkok BBQ at Chet’s, The Hoxton Shepherd’s Bush.

Think smoky grilled meats, imported Thai river prawns cooked over charcoal, spicy Thai salads, sticky rice, ice cold Chang beers and tropical cocktails, all served out on the terrace. It’s the perfect place to catch up with friends over some seriously good food.

I had the chance to help create the menu, taking inspiration from some of my favourite street food spots across Bangkok, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how it’s turned out. .carol and the team have done an amazing job bringing the bold flavours of Bangkok to West London!

The Bangkok BBQ is running every Friday and Saturday from now until 29 August, so if you’re in London this summer, come and give it a try. I’d love to know what you think.

Tag the friend you’d bring with you.

Hidden inside Bangkok’s famous Wang Lang Market is a little restaurant serving what might just be the best roast duck in Thailand. Crispy skin, melt in your mouth duck, rich gravy and some seriously good moo krob… this is comfort food at its finest.

If you’re planning a trip to Bangkok, make sure Wang Lang Market is on your list. It’s packed with incredible local food, hidden gems and authentic Thai street eats that most tourists never find.

BEST WAGYU IN BANGKOK? 🇹🇭 (for this price it might be!)

Forget the fancy steakhouses. If you’re serious about beef, head to Oniku to Gohan Sathorn and prepare for some of the best Wagyu I’ve had in Bangkok. 🇯🇵🥩

Premium Japanese Wagyu, charcoal grilled right at your table, paired with some of the best rice you’ll find anywhere in Thailand. The concept is simple: incredible meat + incredible rice. And somehow that simplicity makes it even better. The restaurant has built a reputation around carefully selected Wagyu cuts and premium rice imported from Japan.

Every bite was rich, buttery and packed with flavour. The kind of beef that doesn’t need fancy sauces or gimmicks.

📍 Oniku to Gohan – Sathorn, Bangkok
🥩 Premium Japanese Wagyu
🍚 Legendary Japanese rice from Fukuoka
🔥 Authentic Japanese yakiniku experience
🇹🇭 Bangkok, Thailand

Would I put this amongst the best Wagyu restaurants in Bangkok? Absolutely.
