Street food may be something that we aren\u2019t used to back in our home countries, and indeed when we do see it we tend to avoid it! However, here in Thailand is common and is perfectly safe to eat as it is prepared and cooked fresh every day. In fact, it is one of the things that we love most about Thailand and as well as being delicious, it is great value too. These days we see more international style street food also appearing such as Shawarma kebabs and sushi but for the purposes of the article, we will concentrate on the more commonly found or the more \u201cemblematic\u201d of Thailand<\/p>\n

Phad Thai<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Phad Thai is a noodle dish that is commonly served from carts on the street. Usually, it is made with prawns (goong) although it can also be made with chicken (gai) and pork (moo). It is a quick and easy dish to make and is one of Thailand\u2019s most internationally recognised dishes. It will usually be flavoured with shallots, garlic, chilli, beansprouts, fish sauce and tamarind. This dishes should be served and eaten hot and can be made as spicy as you like to suit your taste.<\/p>\n

Somtam<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Another of Thailand\u2019s favourite dishes and one that is a staple of many Thais diets. It is made with green papaya, tomato, and long beans. Somtam is flavoured with lime, fish sauce, chilli, sugar and garlic. Often you will find small shrimps and peanuts added. The stalls are easily recognisable by the large pestle and mortar that will be used to make the dish. Somtam is sold at normal temperature and should be eaten the same. It is generally a very spicy dish but can be toned down to meet western tastes. Thais often prefer Somtam Plu Pla but this has a rather pungent aroma so most foreigners prefer to avoid this variation.<\/p>\n
