Thailand offers some of the best-loved cuisine in Southeast Asia. Many options cost less than a single US dollar, so you’ll certainly get your money’s worth as well. Here are some of the favorite street foods to savor in Thailand.

1. Phat Kaphrao (fat-ka-fraow)
You’ll find this dish in any typical local restaurant. The key flavor-enhancing ingredients are sweet basil and chilis, but the bulk of the meal is a simple stir-fry of pork, chicken or shrimp. It is usually seasoned with fish sauce and lime, and sometimes topped with a fried egg.


2. Pad Thai
The most ubiquitous of all Thai street foods. It is essentially a stir-fry consisting of rice noodles, eggs, tofu, fish sauce, various herbs, shrimp or chicken and vegetables. There are vegetarian options, too. Often costing under a dollar in the street.


3. Green Papaya Salad
Vegetarian options exist, although the salad usually comes with brined crab and dried shrimp. Typical recipes combine five key tastes: sour lime, hot chili, savory fish sauce, salt and touch of sweetness from palm sugar. Fresh and delicious.

4. Gluay Ping
Or as we know it, grilled bananas, are a popular option. Those with a sweet tooth will love the coconut and caramel sauce that it invariably comes with. Greener bananas tend to be the best, since the skin develops a more caramelized texture on the grill.

Lovers of hot and spicy dishes may prefer the zippier red curry, a green curry typically presents a lighter, mellower taste. Thai curries usually contain shrimp or chicken as their main protein.


8. Tom Yam Soup
An extremely cheap option.It's a delicious soup that combines both spicy and sour flavors thanks to the variety of fresh ingredients it uses. Lime, lemongrass, fish sauce and chili peppers are some key flavors. Some versions include mushrooms or chili jam.


9. Banana Pancakes
One of the most popular breakfasts or desserts in Thailand. Some stalls sell banana pancakes drizzled in condensed milk and placed on wooden skewers. Some even come topped with melted chocolate for an extra flourish.


10. Ho Mak Pla
Ho mak refers to a method for preparing certain types of Thai curry, where the dish is steamed in an arrangement of banana leaves to provide a distinct taste and aroma. It is a type of fish curry blended with curry paste and coconut milk.
