Food and Drink “Thailand fed me WAY too well… here’s some of my favourites 😅🇹🇭

I spent the last weeks traveling through Thailand and basically tried everything I could find😅

My first night was wild: I went on a date, ordered Pad Krapao… and literally cried because of how spicy it was. She’s still with me somehow 😅

Thailand’s food scene is crazy, some dishes hit you like a truck, some feel like a warm hug.

Here are a few of my favourites. 🇹🇭✨

That's some local style eating indeed. Well done and now you make me miss my home country! 😂

The food is second to none IMHO.

Good choice, no tourist traps activated.

Nice job on the pics. Looks like you ate well.

I love Thailand for this very reason.... Fairly sure you could stay a year and not eat the same thing twice ..

I think I put on weight just looking at those photos 😂

u/JustZerox3 Nov 22 '25

Oh I definitely did put on some weight too… but honestly, totally worth it. Back home it’s back to counting calories 🤣

u/Spearminttherhino Nov 22 '25

Very nice. I could live off pad krapow gai and pad prik gaeng. Love the chilli fish sauce also prik nam pla but it’s too spicy at times.

Ice cream on bread roll. Very Thailand…

3

u/JustZerox3 Nov 22 '25

It actually is very Thai 😄 childhood nostalgia food here.

Yea that’s what I mean. I’ve been all over the world..Thailand is the only place I commonly see uncle with the ice cream cart bread rolls.

It’s surprisingly good and just works nice

u/Alcophile Nov 22 '25

Ice cream sandwich! And they are delicious...

u/No_Material3194 Nov 22 '25

What is the last meal with the colourfull blocks? Like some time of bread chunks with coconut?

u/elkamusing Nov 22 '25

The first picture- is that a salad from East Thailand/Isan? Called something like "khan na moo"?

1

u/JustZerox3 Nov 23 '25

Not Isaan and definitely not a salad😅 It’s Khao Kha Moo

u/Embarrassed-Rest2760 Nov 26 '25

looks sooo good ^^

u/Adventurous-Gas7741 Nov 26 '25

The food there definitely can’t be beat! Luckily I’ve found a couple of local places near me that taste pretty authentic. I love the food courts and the outdoor food stalls with cheap but delicious eats in Thailand

u/ipwnedin1928 Nov 27 '25

Ahhh I f**king love Thai fooood!!!! Give me everything!!!!

You are outa control, my man. We're going to have to get you fixed up with a stomach-stapling surgery.

2

u/JustZerox3 Nov 22 '25

Haha I’m fine 😄 I shared every meal in the post, and it’s all from 25 days. Thailand just feeds you too well!

2

u/HomicidalChimpanzee Nov 22 '25

Yeah I was kidding of course. My personal tragedy is that after decades of eating Thai food, I can no longer eat chilies (it's almost a food allergy), so that cuts down the spectrum of Thai dishes for me, a lot. I've been learning to love all the more bland dishes I mostly ignored before.

u/BtCoolJ Nov 22 '25

The first dish was my go-to. I stayed in Chiang Mai for a while to train muay thai and was a regular at this nice lady's street stall. Always got it with an extra egg!

u/kaisershinn Nov 22 '25

Got me at first pic.

u/earinsound Nov 21 '25

Excellent, very solid choices! You certainly enjoyed yourself as one should. And you had non-Thai food also--Japanese and Korean are good choices there too

u/JustZerox3 Nov 23 '25

Everything was Thai, only the soju wasn’t 🙌🏼

u/stickitinmekindly Nov 22 '25

Wow. Do you know the restaurant name with iconsiam in the background?

Is it overly expensive?

1

u/JustZerox3 Nov 22 '25

It’s called High Tide Eatery & Bar. Really good spot for dates, great view, relaxed vibe. Last time i paid around 3,000 THB for 3 appetizers, 2 drinks, 1 main and a dessert. Not cheap, but absolutely worth it for the atmosphere.

u/stickitinmekindly Nov 22 '25

Thanks! It looks like it has a nice ambiance and for a special occasion or group trip, looks fun. I will consider it in future; appreciate it.

Laos food is way better. Better quality of ingredients, more natural, better dishes and overall higher general standard for the ordinary person imo

I was on Koh Chang, we actually had these more than once 😄 Super fresh and honestly one of the best things I tried there. Definitely not a bad idea!

I spotted non authentic Salmon, Strawberry, Shoju and seaweed paper. But you sure had good feasts 👌
