Better known as @thechubbydoc on Instagram, the doctor and self-professed Bangkok lover shares his favourite dining spots in the Thai capital
When he's not busy improving our healthcare system as the resident clinical physician, chief medical informatics officer, and vice-chairman of the medical board (human resource) at Alexandra Hospital, Dr Goh Wei-Ping documents his foodie journeys on his popular Instagram page, @thechubbydoc. Nothing escapes his adventurous palate, not least Thai food, which is why Goh, a self-professed lover of Bangkok, has been to the Thai capital four times since it fully reopened last year.
With so many Michelin-starred restaurants and street food gems in Bangkok, we had to ask another expert to show us his top picks in the international food city that Goh knows so well. Make sure to take down these dining spots to try on your next trip.

1. Homeburg
“Precision and consistency are key to the delicious burgers at Homeburg, helmed by chef Taiki Rattanapong. You prop yourself on one of the eight-counter seats and treat yourself to a visual feast seeing his team go through clockwork dedication prepping the courses.
Every aspect of the burger is perfect, from the fluffiness of the bun to the juiciness of the beef patty, down to the amount of saucing and the accompanying condiments. While the star of the omakase is the burger (you get two half burgers with different saucing), the other dishes are not to be overlooked either. The Ultrasonic Fries are one of the best I’ve had—shatteringly crispy on the outside and airy on the inside. The Denver steak is charred perfectly and complemented perfectly with the beef jus.
And since you are already in that area, why not hop over to Rung Rueang Pork Noodles (10/3 Soi Sukhumvit 26, Khlong Tan, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110) and have one of my favourite pork noodles in Bangkok.”
