Mexican, Thai, and Indian are locked into my top 5 food countries list, and the other 2 positions tend to change. I'm glad I'm in Thailand reading this!
I shouldn't have read this while I was hungry. South Asia is my favorite food! Never understood what people found so delicious about Mexican to be honest.
Love Thai food. But here to agree with your comment about Georgian food. I had an amazing dinner at a Georgian restaurant in Helsinki a few years ago. The food, the wine, all wonderful. Just looking at Google maps to recall where it was and am finding a whole bunch of Georgian restaurants in Helsinki now. Who,would have guessed!
Aw man this has made me yearn for Bangkok again - and Thai cooking! We used to make a lot back in the UK where authentic Thai ingredients are readily available but it's been much harder since being on the road.
Hi Brent! I enjoyed your Thai food experience. We spend winters in Thailand, and we almost 100% street food. I read your comment that tamarind sometimes provides the sour notes in Thai food but your picture… I am looking!! Is actually stink bean not tamarind. If you read about it you will understand the difference lol.

What a great article on your adventures with Thai food. I’m reading this in bed, it’s near 11 PM and now I’m starving.!!!!❤️
That food all looks amazing! Is the secret related to fish sauce? Or the balance of sweet, salty and spicy?
Also, Indonesia also uses the spoon primarily...I think because it was a Dutch colony?

Excited to read what your favorite is. We don't do spicy, it hurts my dear husband.
