Street food is King of the 'Kok

I had been searching for delicious Thai food ever since my arrival. I had tried, in vain, to find a restaurant that would live up to the expectations set Oy's cooking at the drunken poet in Sarasota, only to be disappointed time and time again.

It was in between these adventures that I discovered the real secret to eating well in Bangkok: Street food. I had been led to believe that a restaurant, being 3X (or much more) expensive than street food simply had to be better. I was terribly wrong. I've found that if you spend more than a dollar for your meal, chances are it's not going to be any good. Below are some pictures of one day of street food, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Breakfast, coconut pudding freshly made. Not particularly healthy, but very good.

Lunch from the nicest people around, about 3 blocks from my Guest House.

Best Pad Thai in town, excellent smoothies.

The best food in Bangkok, so far. 1 dish is 25 baht, 2 is 30, and 3 are 35.
(32 baht = 1 dollar)
