From Street Carts to Fine Dining: The Best Thai Food in Town

 

Thai food is everywhere.  From street cart vendors or on the beach or local Thai neighborhood restaurants, or 'fine dining' 5 star restaurants & it's all excellent.

I have never resisted Thai Cart Cuisine & 'gastric events' have NEVER followed.

• Tourist areas have Thai restaurants mixed with 'western fast food'.  McDonalds, KFC, Pizza, Baskin Robbins, ect.  

• And affordable is the understatement of the millennium.  ( Western food is western priced! )

       Gourmet multi course meals for two in very nice Thai restaurants for 300 BT, $7.
  
      Quick 'Thai rice bowl' lunch, 2 for 100 BT, $2.25.
  
      Skewers of Thai BBQ beef, pork or chicken for 20 BT, 50 cents from the street hibachi stands.
  
          The street cart food vendors MAY ( ask )  have rice cooked in a section of 2" wide bamboo.  Take the piece of bamboo home & it is packed with delicious hot rice.  The bamboo section is used for both cooking & take out packaging.
  
          By mixing & matching cart vendors a multi course take home meal is possible.
  
      Fruit carts are on most streets with chilled fresh watermelon, papaya or pineapple for 10 BT, 25us cents.
