Thailand's Best Street Food

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

To be fortunate enough to visit Thailand—to eat in Thailand—is a deep dive into a rich, many-textured, very old culture of flavours and colours ranging far beyond the familiar spectrum. – Anthony Bourdain

Thailand is renowned for its incredible street food and speciality stalls. With the help of Thailand's Best Street Food, visitors can experience the very best of streetside dining.

Writer, food blogger, and Bangkok resident Chawadee Nualkhair guides you throughout the country, recommending everything from popular favourites to off-the-beaten-path must-dos. Divided by region, Nualkhair successfully debunks the myth that Bangkok is the only place to find great Thai street food. By eating her way across the country, from Phuket in the south to Chiang Mai in the north, she ensures all travellers will have a tasty, authentic experience.

Nualkhair draws on her vast experience to provide essential tips and logistic help in locating the best street food stalls, including:

  • An introduction to and pronunciation guide for common ingredients and dishes
  • Directions to each location
  • Street maps for each area
  • Serving options
  • Ordering tips
  • Seating and bathroom facilities
  • Photos of the best dishes

This edition has been updated and revised, and includes 11 new street stall recommendations.

In case you want to recreate your favourite finds at home, this book also includes 12 recipes for popular dishes, adapted for Western kitchens and ingredients.
