Navigating Street Food Markets
Ordering street food can be as much of an adventure as eating it. To enhance your street food experience, try learning some basic Thai phrases to help you order food and interact with vendors.
Be on the lookout for busy stalls that are popular among the locals. A high turnover means fresher food. Of course, come with an open mind. Don’t be afraid to try new dishes and discover the flavours and textures of Thai cuisine.
