Thai Street Food 101: 10 Dishes Not To Miss

Thai street food, known as one of the most famous street foods in the world is sure to make you hungry. Thai street food is so diverse depending on where you go in Thailand. Street food in Bangkok will not be there same as street food in Pai or street food in Chiang Mai, every region seems to have its own type of cuisine which makes going out to eat a new experience every time.

A few misconceptions about Thai street food are that it is unsafe. That cannot be further from the truth, it might be greasy at times, but, it’s safe as they are constantly replenishing and churning out dishes. Just use proper judgment when choosing a stall that’s all.

The best part about street food in Thailand is that it’s cheap. A dish might cost you 70 to 100 Baht but be warned that these add up quickly as you might want to try many different dishes, even if you have no idea what it is. 

To me that’s the fun part of eating in Thailand, sometimes you will hit up a food stall and have absolutely no idea what you’re about to try. All you do is point, smile, say one please then walk away and say kap khun krap.

Let me share with you a few of my favorite dishes and places to eat around Thailand.
