A region-by-region companion to Thailand’s street-food stalls

Organized by region, this revised guide moves street-food exploration beyond Bangkok to include stops from Phuket in the south to Chiang Mai in the north. Chawadee Nualkhair combines stall recommendations with practical on-the-ground details: directions, area maps, ordering and seating information, and notes on facilities. An ingredient and dish pronunciation guide helps orient newcomers to common menu language, while photographs identify featured dishes. The updated edition adds 11 stall recommendations and closes the loop for home cooks with 12 recipes adapted to Western kitchens and ingredients. It is designed as a dining-navigation resource as much as a survey of Thai street-food specialties.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Travelers planning food-focused time in Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, and other Thai regions
  • Visitors who want practical help locating, ordering from, and navigating street-food stalls
  • Home cooks interested in Thai dishes adapted for Western kitchens

Book overview

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

Thailand is known for its incredible street food and specialty stalls. With the help of this book, 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 favorites 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 travelers will have a tasty, authentic experience.

Nualkhair draws on her vast experience to provide essential tips on 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
