Eating in Thailand from favourite Thai foods to new eating experiences and exciting restaurants. Travel and food tourism in Thailand.
This was not so much about me sharing the sweet custardy delight of durian with my loved ones back home. But more for the challenge and adventure of travelling with this notoriously stinky fruit, which is pretty much banned from public transport, hotels and airlines in Thailand. “No Durian Allowed”. And I really just thought …
As I spend much of my time living in the rural rice fields of Isaan, I have become somewhat accustomed to the weird foods of the region. But I will forever remember my first days here when I questioned some weird textured meat in my spicy Laab salad. And was told “Uh, that’s brain. Tasty?”. …
My name is Allan Wilson, and below is me at my happiest, chowing down on all sorts of weird and wonderful foods on the streets of Bangkok. An obsession I have pursued for a while now, to feed my passion for both eating and street life in Bangkok. At the same time, I should really …
The best souvenirs for me are rarely cheap trinkets from travel and instead are the skills acquired along the way. As these are the souvenirs that just keep on giving. And as a food-obsessed traveller, this comes mostly with cooking classes, where I have picked up pretty much invaluable recipes through the years and benefit …
It feels that I have exhausted the world of street food in Thailand these days, which is understandable given it was the main focus of this site for a good three years. So Thai Street Food is something I’ve not really revisited in a while, however it will always be a huge part of my …
(Note. After 1 year of trading at the Sukhumvit Soi 29 location the Totoro Cafe is now closed. Will update new location when confirmed). To-to-ro Totoro, To-to-ro Totoro, Dareka ga Kossori Komichi…. I really don’t know Japanese. Sooo Bangkok is now officially home to the first ever licensed Totoro restaurant, or the ‘Bangkok Totoro Cafe’ …
Isaan sausages, or sausages as they’re called in Isaan (Saigrok ไส้กรอกอีสาน in Thai) are easily one of my most munched street foods of all time, which is partly due to their deliciousness, but also because they are found all over Bangkok and Thailand, and they are just so easy to eat on the go. However Isaan sausages …
The reason this post is better than most, is because it’s a personal project, taken on by myself Fanfan, while Allan stays behind for his so-called ‘Man-Time’ (when he plays Pokemon like a kid). Through a month in Chiang Mai I took on an extensive cafe and coffee shop tour in a search for the best …
Like most people, my reaction to the Street Food Ban in Bangkok was one of disbelief, anger and swearing, but I also find that many of the arguments against the ban are misrepresented. And because of this I’ve become a bit mixed on this issue, or at least I’ve looked for a more balanced argument. Because …
Obviously it’s up there with them other big questions, like, is there a God, and, where did Harold Bishop really go to during them five years at sea? Yet it’s a question I find myself asking much more often. Which food is better, Thai Khao Man Gai, or Singapore’s Hainanese Chicken Rice. It’s always the …
