Fried insects and a Chang --- Luvly Jubbly

I love Thai food, but there is also so much other food in the world that is great...in places that has decent wine.

And here we clearly suffer from having a very limited subset of wines imported...to very high prices.

And how anyone can mention insects and food in the same article...well... Sure, it is exotic...

its the new food & wine hub............

No mention of wine at all in this article apart from the title that is, but then how could anywhere with a 200% tax on wine be a top 10 wine destination in asia..............

Bangkok - No.1 wine destination... :lol: :lol:

Since when is Lao Kao categorised as wine??

Another total <deleted> survey who keeps dreaming these things up

Remove the Wine from "Food & Wine" and add the South East to the "Asia", and I agree 100%.

Didnt you know ?.....TAT have a whole division of people dedicated to filling in on-line travel surveys and making Thailand the # 1 tourist destination in the world...

Better yet remove the Wine part and add an L to food. Thailand is the #1 Flood destination of Asia.

Very good...now where's that bottle of Cabernet ?....

does it list Bangkok as number 1 or a least of the ' top 10 ' , with Bangkok just happening to be number 1 in the least? ,

Actually it's 390% Duty and Taxes on imported wines.

Yeo they have scooped the pool now. Number one is everything known to man.

easy just ask a Thai. They make the finest wines in the world. Thai wine makes a Penfolds Grange taste like dish water.

Singapore, Saigon and Hanoi are much better and I would guess that Hong Kong is too.

What do you think shrimp and lobsters are? They are insects!! ... i.e., arthropods that live in the sea. We like to eat what we're culturally used to. Indeed it was a very adventurous caveman who at the first oyster.

I don't dip a lobster in chocolate or deep-fry it and eat it whole...I do however occasionally eat the meat. And the meat only.

It's about 440% tax actually, all told, so a recent Big Chilli article said.

Phat thai and insects . . . sounds like the writer has a really keen grasp of the full spectrum of Thai cuisine.

I've spent 30+ years professionally seeking out 'food and wine destinations' in Asia, and offhand my ranking would be 1) Tokyo, 2) Singapore, 3) Hong Kong. Bangkok maybe after that . . . well, if you ignored the 'wine' part.

Judging from the OP, this would very much appear to be a "sponsored" rating.

Trip Advisor...do me a favour, this website is mainly used by backpackers trying to find the cheapest room in the multiverse, not by connoisseurs of wine and fine foods.

It is the best global city for THAI food though.

For breadth of cuisine probably, but to be honest, the best Thai food I have ever eaten was in Portland, Oregon of all places and at an Isaan restaurant at that. Sure I paid at least 10 times over the mark, but man, was it delicious, and authentic too.

"World class Thai beers such as Singha and Chang"...obviously written by someone who has never actually had a Thai beer.

Or only Thai “beer” for that reason.
