These spots have mastered the art of the smash burger, with its signature crispy, lacy edges and intense beefy flavor.
Bun, Meat and Cheese: The Undisputed King
When friends ask me for the single best classic smash burger in Bangkok, this is where I send them. Bun, Meat and Cheese is a tiny, no-frills shophouse that focuses on doing one thing perfectly. The patties are smashed thin on a searing hot griddle, creating an incredible crust, and the potato bun is pillowy soft.
