There are so many of those, and so many that are good, we just didn't have the time or manpower to include them. And that isn't including the aharn tham sung (cook to order) and khao gub gaeng (pre-cooked curries on rice) stalls out there. How many places do you think you ate at in order to get the top 50 places?Īt least 150. It's a constant work in progress and I always look to improve in any way I can.
By that time, we hope to include stalls from the North, Northeast and South. Some of those places were disappointing and weren't included, but most definitely deserved their reputations. That was definitely a factor in selection. The stands that have been around the longest must have something special. Thai people are extraordinarily nice, but when it comes to their food, they don't hesitate to vote with their feet. How long do you think it would be before it needs to be updated? Do the best places tend to be the ones that have been around for years?Ībsolutely, the best places are the oldest. There really is a wealth of great food out there on the street. We ate at at least 150 food stalls, tried some two or three more times to be sure, and finally whittled it down to 50. It took a little over a year - throughout my pregnancy, through to the birth, to the newborn-sleepless night phase, on through to weaning. How long did it take to research and write?
Then we realised that we could be that someone. We thought it would be great if someone could tell us what to order and how to do it. Some have quite substantial menus, some only offer one or two things. Some go out of their way to help you, some are the opposite. Some require written orders, some are verbal. All the street food stands here are different. My friend and I were talking about how we would eat at street food stalls more often if we knew which ones were good, and if they weren't so intimidating.
