100 Thai dishes that inspire us to get out there and eat
An American blogger has put together a mouthwatering list of the finest meals on Bangkok's streets, including plenty of obscure but tantalizing greats
Blogger Mark Wiens’ favorite dish is gang som plah chon. Though it’s not much of a looker, he describes it as “an awe striking snake head fish swimming in a stunning sweet and sour soup and laced with herbs.”When you live in Bangkok, it’s easy to get stuck eating the same thing every day despite the city's many incredible street eats available. Maybe you hit up your favorite noodle stand daily or can’t live without that old woman on the corner who slaps together a mean plate of khao mun gai.
That’s why we were excited to see American Mark Wiens' list of 100 great Thai dishes that will allow you to "eat like a king in Bangkok" on his blog, Migrationology.com. Whether you’re a local or just visiting there are some truly inspiring choices, from clay pots of jim jum to steamed snapper in green chilli sauce.
Mark says it took him about a month to compile the massive food list, including photos. Of all the 100 dishes, his absolute favorite is gang som plah chon, #59, followed by #12, panang gai.
Also worth noting: This list does not include all those tasty deep fried and sweet snacks or Thai desserts sold on Bangkok's streets. Those, Mark says, will be tackled in future articles on Migrationology.com.
