"Can I get fries with that?..."


Thai street food has always been an area of worry for the hungry traveller, but not anymore if this article from visit-Chiang-Mai is anything to go by....

Street sellers have, so they say, cleaned up their act thus leaving the days of "somewhat unhygienic, with rumours that consumption of it could lead to serious stomach complaints" far behind them...

With various menu's to choose from, including:
* Som Tam - a spicy salad with shredded papaya
* Khao Mun Gai Tom - steamed chicken served on rice cooked in chicken broth
* Rat Naa - fried flat noodles and pork in a thick gravy
* Ba Mee Nam - yellow egg noodle soup with wonton
* Pad Thai - fried noodles with dried shrimp and tofu
* Johk - a thick rice soup excellent for breakfast
* Pad See Iew - pan-fried noodles with pork & green vegetables
* Khao Pad - fried rice
* Pad Krapow Moo - pork fried with basil served on rice
* Khao Moo Daeng - red pork with rice
This is leaving even me quite hungry...
