Popular Post vidgra Posted March 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2022 hello, New here, I would like to know where are located your favorites Thai street food restaurants ? For example can you tell me where you like to eat KHAO MAN GAI ? Thai chicken with rice dish ? I tried at some malls and they tasted awful, not fresh chicken of the day and rice not cooked in chicken soup it seems, not tasty, not oily as it should be. And you ? where do you like to eat cheap and easy ? Thank you. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post scubascuba3 Posted March 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) My favourite chicken rice is on soi Arunothai, that's all it does so know how to do it, From Klang turn right and it's a shack type place on the right about 200 yards. My current favourite street food place is Soi 15 corner of Pattaya 2nd road, 30-50 baht Edited March 31, 2022 by scubascuba3 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Screaming Posted March 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2022 Street food is very unsanitary and not safe to eat. You could easily end up in the hospital with a serious case of diarrhea. I have known people that also get worms from eating street food. 2 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have taken friends out many a time as well, none of them ever got sick. I believe the Thai's to be very sanitary in the preparation, and Thailand is known throughout the world as a street food Haven. 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVENKEEL Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 The longer I live here the more selective I am. For many years I ate without a care at all street food places. I never got sick, just trying to eat healthier now. In the Malls it's Shabu or other buffet joints like Aka, the 600thb/person is pretty awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the standard nonsense restaurant owners push so the naive will spend more in their shop. Thai street food is better than many restaurants provide. Cooked right in front of you in many cases, while the restaurants have pots of who knows how old offerings. I hope this thread has a long life. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mutt Daeng Posted April 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2022 I don't live in Pattaya, but pre-covid-19, me & Mrs MD visit Pattaya 6-7 time a year. Last time we visited was Dec 2021. My favourite street food is moo ping and I get it at night from a stall on the corner of Soi Lengkee / Soi Buakhao junction. Very tasty supper at 10 baht a skewer, washed down with a few small changs. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posting an article about sausages has nothing to do with what I said. I have not eaten a sausage of any type for years. Mystery meat to me. Stand by what I said and say to you. Just look at where you want to eat. Served me well. Oh yeah the wife and kids have never been sick either. Kids now live and work in the states and miss Thai street food a lot. One caveat, I only eat barbecued meats from any Isaan street stall. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONCE... after eating at a very exclusive hotel restaurant in Bangkok. It lasted almost 4 hours, taken care of with two Imodium tablets. Four hours out of my 22-year existence in LOS, eating street foods often, everywhere I go. Even eating sausages of varying types often. Street foods and their vendors are an integral part of Thai Culture, and to avoid them is doing oneself an injustice. One only needs to be a bit observant and street-smart when choosing which vendor with whom to give your custom. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pomchop Posted April 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2022 Often the problem is not the food which is cooked or boiling hot...the problem is the plates and/or utensils which are washed in buckets of cold dirty type water. Never gotten sick off of street food ever. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new one on soi 13\2 is bad, their idea of chicken is gristle and skin, of course hard to tell with msg salt and sugar but addition of good veg is a good sign. I'm not frightened of sugar salt and msg Edited April 2, 2022 by scubascuba3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post EVENKEEL Posted April 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2022 Got the runs once eating pad that was super greasy. I get the tourists living off the food carts in tourist markets. But if you're living here, honestly why would you frequent the cheapest food. I can get the same food and better quality in a restaurant for not much more. 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe only soups are healthy, and even not sure.., Just avoid the deep fried chicken KFC type stuff also the soups with coconut is high in fat, once a week probably ok. I have thai food once a day usually I used to eat noodle soup daily for years, good mixture of veg in there, pretty healthy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is not Thai pork sausage "street food?" Just what type of street food do you actually eat? 9 hours ago, marin said: Mystery meat to me.

Can this truly be classified as street food? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street foods and their vendors are an integral part of Thai Culture, and to avoid them is doing oneself an injustice. One only needs to be a bit observant and street-smart when choosing which vendor with whom to give your custom. Perhaps we need to clarify what exactly is street food, and what exactly is food poisoning? Some members may classify food poisoning as only needing medical treatment. Others may classify it as self medicating with some imodium tablets, as you have mentioned. I classify it as being on the toilet not long after the meal. Whether that progresses to self medication, and possibly then onto seeking medical treatment, is irrelevant. If I'm on the toilet after eating street food, then that's food poisoning to me. Mild, average, severe, it's all food poisoning. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the one outside the closed Family Market on Lengkee itself he is very good. I was wanting to get some dab tonight but unfortunately he wasn't there - or I was too early......
