So I have done some posts about street food in Thailand, and other places. I love eating food made and sold on the street, because it is often times very telling of a culture, it's cheap, and it's usually super yummy.
HOWEVER... I want to make it quite clear that not all street food is created equal. Both my poor husband and I have ended up pretty sick from intestinal infections due to eating the nasty stuff. In 2 years living in Bangkok, and about another 6 months total traveling around the region, we have each gotten sick only once, and Marc's was bad enough to stick him in the hospital for a day.
It is important to look at the things you are going to be putting inside your body (nah,... really?!).
Avoid places that look like they don't clean the dishes, look like the food has been there for 5 days, or just general uncleanliness.
These places that serve food (if you can believe it) are located at the end of my street. It makes me feel lucky to know that I can afford to not eat here.
Love this blog post! Sorry you both had gotten sick but I guess once for each isn't too bad, right?! Miss you guys!

ReplyDeleteWow, super lucky that you guys only have gotten sick just once all this time! Hope your eating adventures continue on incident-free for many more years to come!
