Sukhumvit soi 38 street food
Most pictures of this Thai street food have been taken in Sukhumvit Soi 38, the famous night market. I dont know much about the Thai language, but my strongest point is naming Thai food dishes, which throughout reading this post you will know its actually quite terrible.
For organic food please check out my article on Paleo Robbie.
We start off with a typical dish served in Sukhumvit Soi 38, which is the kai gai tod, which is friend chicken with rice. The price for this will vary from 40 baht to 80 baht, depending on the size you want.
The next dish is a papaya salad which in Thai is known as som tam, very common all over Sukhumvit soi 38, prices start from around 40 baht upwards.
One of my favorite dishes is the pork, rice with a friend egg and some basil. I’m afraid I don’t know the Thai translation for this dish, but for 50 baht its a steal! The quality of the pork is something to be desired off, but if your only playing 50 baht, you really wont be getting the best cuts, well in Thailand anyway.
The kai pad pu is a simple dish that consist of fried rice with shredded crab, depending on where you go in Sukhumvit Soi 38, the price will vary from 50-60 baht, this is one of my favorite dishes here and a week wont go past where I don’t order it.
Great post, Thai food really is amazing. Healthy and always fresh. Thanks for sharing
Best wishes, Kate
All these pictures are making me hungry! Looks like some great tasting food. Don’t know if I’ll ever get over there, but if I do, some good eating is in order.
That guy on the left who fries up the rices, pad thais etc is excellent, if you look on his wall, he won some award for the best pad thai in Thailand. Dunno what the criteria for the contest was but the guy’s a legend. Last time I visited last month his son was cooking, not as good as dad but still excellent!
This is the first store right? They are usually open from 10am-5pm. Yes they are very good!
Dunno about his opening hours but I’ve eaten off him after 11pm quite a few times
^Actually it wouldn’t surprised me if that certificate was for the fastest pad thai ever made, the guy’s a dab hand
