4Bangkok’s sizzling street food culture is intoxicat-ing!

When I first came to Thailand in 2009, sticky rice and green curry was the extent of my Thai food knowledge.

I immediately started learning about Thai food as fast as my growing stomach would allow, of-ten justifying the excessive feasts for the sake of learning more about the cuisine.

My Thai food attraction paired with my obsessive food photography eventually led to the launch of the Eating Thai Food Guide - a compilation of useful tips, meal plans and a mega Thai dish en-cyclopedia.

I love Thai food so much, I get excited about the next meal, before finishing the one I’m on!

Thanks for downloading this guide and have a great time eating!
