OOI, the only time I've got really sick from food in Thailand was when I ate a chicken schnitzel from a very clean-looking Western restaurant. Other than that, I've eaten from hole-in-the-wall Thai places, market food courts and street vendors with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically the people who advise you to not eat Thai street food have financial interests in a restaurant and want you to eat there. OP, find a night market and enjoy the varieties available there. They have them almost everywhere. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusNo8 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 (edited) My advice to people that don't eat spicy food is to say - not spicy! They'll understand. You can try the Thai - mai pidt krap. Levels of spiciness is BS. They cook is just the cook and each understands what low mid high spiciness is - to them. Additionally, you have an individual level of heat you understand. It's never going to be the same. It can't be. Yesterday, my wife and I ordered bowls she ordered me 3* and her 5*. Mine was barely edible and enjoyable. She said hers was actually almost too spicy. Which I never, ever hear from her. I order very spicy at food court Central Lat Phrao a special hawker doing only kra pow and it's very meh in regards to heat. I order in Thai as well. Still, it's mid. Don't try to be cool - just order what you can eat and enjoy. The best way if you can and do like a bit of spice is to understand how many medium sized chills you can suffer and tell the cook that.
