Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten is street food!
You really can’t say, you can get food poisoning in a 5 Star hotel…. You can get it from Street food, unless you oversee the whole cooking process from delivery to final presentation then you simply can’t predict it…. Don’t worry and just enjoy
Safe, tasty, I eat it every day.
I eat street food all the time.
I’ve always been told if you see locals eat there. Then it is safe, if not maybe give it a miss.
don’t know how true it is but yeh
I only eat street food when I’m in Thailand. Doesn’t matter which part, it’s what I prefer. The only thing I will not eat in Thailand is sushi or anything else that isn’t cooked throughly.
Best food ever..just make sure it’s cooked in front of you..don’t buy food that is already cooked as you don’t know how long it’s been sitting there for. As long as it’s cooked fresh in front of you, you will have no issues. Food is so yummy.
Also, you notice that the morning foods are a bit different then the afternoon/evening foods. So go out for breakfast and then try the same area at dinner time and it’ll be something different, in most places. I highly recommend the fried bread they make in the morning/night markets. Oh, it’s so good.
My opinion. When you see food cooked in front of you, great. My problem is how long the food has been sitting in the heat before it’s cooked. That, I don’t know. Have had food poisoning in Asia a couple of times for this reason. So personally, I’m wary of street food. That shitty illness is not good. My opinion. ?
Somewhere popular and I stick to seafood as I don’t have it all the time back home
We eat street food for past 20 years. Went to a restaurant to treat ourselves and was sick for 3 days. As long as food is hot we had no issues
Been over there a heap of times and I watch the locals. If a cart pulls up and locals flock to it then safe to say it’s good. Enjoy ?
Love street food
Steet food delicious?
Street food is the best
Street food
Was tastier than some of the restaurants we went too
I had visited Thailand for 6th times and used to eat at street food. Unfortunately I got extremely travelling diarhea on my 6th backpacking
If you see locals eating there it’s fine. You can also look for expats eating but it doesn’t really matter you could eat at a 5 star hotel and get sick.

Never had a problem, and I eat the crazier stuff like scorpions and insects. Thai street food is the best in the world, and I could live off it. Super cheap too.
