Good Food is one of the great pleasures that is in abundance here in Thailand. This page will be a general and specific guide to eating in Thailand. We hope to have some general informaion such as types and names of common Thai Foods as well as specific information on regional delicacies and even a few restaraunts or cafeteria dining halls.
I will start with one of my favorite types of Thai food, and one of the great things I love about Thailand; "Street Food".
For the Thailand newby, street food can at first be a little intimidating and scary. The food is often displayed right on the streetside in little kiosk or carts. These small kitchens are usually powered by a small propane tank or two and a skillful Thai chef. You will find delicious soups and curries, fried foods like chicken, pork, beef, squid, and seafood. There is an abundance of noodles and rice, vegetables, fruits, and beverages. I find it amazing that almost anyone of my favorite Thai dishes can be easily and quickly made right in front of my eyes by the experts behind these mini mobile kitchens. Language can be a small challenge, but this is easily transcended by a quick smile and some simple pointing to whatever looks or smells appetizing.
