Usually, on a holiday either people try and keep it all classy by staying or dinning in 4 – 5 stars or either, some dare devils take the drive to try almost any thing, from camping on the unknown grounds to tasting the newest flavors. Specially, if you are going to Thailand, the world’s second country (after China) with the most diverse and varied food culture, it is unavoidable not to try new flavors and cuisines, Thailand’s best.

The secret about Thailand food is that the best food in Thailand is served by street vendors and at basic mom-and-pop restaurants. The places are very simple looking, mostly located into side alleys, decorated with nothing but sometimes a wall calendar or a clock. The only obstacle is that the menu is in Thai! So either you can take a guide with you, you can take the translation book…or if that sounds too boring than walk up to the manager , take a peep in whats cooking and there you go …point at the thing you would like to eat. Otherwise, if you are a good observer, look around, see what is being served and ask the waiter to bring you the same (adventure hmmm…). Fortunately, another good thing about street food is that it’s very cheap almost inexpensive.

Small places often prove to be the best eating spots in many cities. If you thing that cleanliness, sterilized utensils, capped cooks, gloved waiters are more reliable….well there is another side of the story too, Thais are fastidious about cleanliness. Many Thai dishes can be cooked relatively quickly, and the street food is so widely eaten in Bangkok that you will always find it freshly cooked. Bangkok has long attracted migrants from across the world so its street cuisine, both at vendor carts and in tiny restaurants, blends many styles of cooking such as Malaysian, Burmese, Indian, Chinese and Thai traditional recipes. Even a simple snack like “Murtabak” mixes Malaysian-style roti pancake with curry fillings that betray Indian and Burmese spices, for vegetarians, it’s a paradise and for non-veg …you can get to eat the wildest of meat here, steaming, all spiced up and mouth waters roasted with basil, thyme and garlic flavors in complete harmony.

Another aspect of the popularity of Street food in Thailand is city oriented life style of people. Every body works here, kids, teens and elderly all are engaged in one of other type of job going along with education so the natives have adopted the way of eating out and also keeping it affordable to all budgets and pockets. Also, Thais normally eat many small meals rather than three squares and traditionally prefer to meet outside the house; street food suits them in each and every way.

Thai food offers a wide range of selection, internationally the popular street food dishes include unripe mangoes dipped in sweet chili sauce, charcoal-grilled fish sausages, taco-like shells filled with shredded coconut, yet, noodles, the ultimate quick snack, prove to be the real test of any street stall. You will find every where in Thailand even more than Thais themselves….Nearly every street in Bangkok has a vendor selling thin, slightly sweet egg noodles; wide, chewy rice noodles; pad Thai topped in gooey omelets. “Khao soi” is a form of noodles, that are a must try. It blends egg noodles with a mild, Indian-style broth and toppings of crispy noodles, shallots and pickled cabbage, a Burmese touch that adds an acidic flavor cutting the rich, oily curry. Normally, a plate of noodles costs the equivalent of less than a dollar.
