[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Beware of street food in Thailand. Yes, it is the street food capital of the world, but you can get violently ill since it is so dirty and westerners simply don't have as strong of an immune system as Thais.

The secret is actually going to the malls in Thailand and pretty much all of Asia. Malls have insanely good and delicious eats on the cheaper end. They're much cleaner too. [/quote]

This. I lived in Thailand for 8 years and am very wary of street food. Generally anything that is cooked right in front of you is fine, but avoid cut fruit or anything that looks like it may have been sitting for a while. I’ve never had a problem but DH definitely did on one our trips.[/quote]

We loved the street food in Thailand and had no issues, but we definitely only ate things that we watched being cooked in front of us. We had the best pad thai at a street cart that catered to the sex workers in the district with all the business hotels. We were the only western people eating there because all the other tourists were on expense accounts. [/quote]
