Thai food is highly rated by the worlds gastronomes, and I love it.
The great thing is that the street food can be as good as, if not better than stuff in the resteraunts. Pick a place to eat thats busy with thais (don`t be afraid of the `tin shack` type places),the food will be fresh and good.
Some of it can be strongly flavoured (
fish sauce,
lime juice,
chillies etc)
so can take some getting used to if your palate is used to the bland.
Experiment, try a different dish or place to eat every day. Yum Yum.
