I can live on FRIED RICE just about anywhere I go in Asia! Always at a low price and you can get it vegetarian if you want. My preference is fried rice with chicken but I will do pork and beef providing it is well done. It is interesting to see how fried rice is a little different from Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai to Bangkok and from there to Hat Yai. Same thing but with a few different ingredients here and there.
I like the boiled pork you get from street vendors and in food courts. This is the ham hocks boiling away with greens and rice sometimes with a boiled egg too. Another cheap meal! When I get this I always ask for "no skin" to lessen the amount of fat. Like many foreigners I will douse the rice down with a little soy sauce and get a little of the juice over the meat and rice. Good filling meal at a low price!
I will sometimes get the chicken noodle soup for sale by street vendors. But I choose my own ingredients to throw in the pot. No chicken buttholes, no chicken feet, no entrails or heads! I stick with chicken meat I can recognize and noodles I prefer. I have a few green things thrown in for flavor. I make sure the cooked chicken is well done! Depending on where in Thailand you are noodle soup will cost from 20 baht to 35 baht from a vendor.
Easy eating for cheap in Thailand!
