Carts with food in Phuket: how to save on food

Regarding street food, all guests of Thailand are divided into two camps: those who are sure that such treats are dangerous, and those who boldly try them. Firstly, street food is a great way to get acquainted with Thai cuisine and immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of the country.

Secondly, street food in Thailand is the best way to save. Only you yourself can determine your level of disgust for food trays. You can get to know one of the sides of real Thailand by getting to know street food. On stalls and in family cafes, dishes are prepared that you will not find in expensive restaurants: fried insects, roti pancakes, steamed dumplings, all kinds of barbecue, traditional desserts.

It should be understood that Thai street food is much more than just a grandmother selling pastries on the subway. If you compare with the CIS countries, the list can include stationary kiosks, dining rooms, dumplings, barbecue, cafeterias, open verandas, cooking and other facilities in the premises. Street food in Thailand includes trolleys with fruits and desserts, traders with baskets on the yoke, kitchens on motorbikes, market stalls, kiosks with plastic tables arranged along the street, home cafes, food courts, food courts, copy houses, dining rooms with ready-made food and even some air-conditioned restaurants. Based on this, it can be understood that there is no clear boundary.

Street food is not synonymous with saving for Thais. They just like everything that tastes good. In Phuket Town, you can often see expensive cars parked near completely unpresentable cafes, where the average bill is 100-150 baht per person. Rich Thais do not pay attention to the interior and surroundings, the main thing is taste. The main guideline when choosing a catering establishment in Phuket should be local residents. They certainly know where it is tasty and where not.
