Thai cuisine: overrated
It is an open door to state on Thailandblog that Thai cuisine is overvalued by many.

Recently had a whole discussion with him about this and on a number of points our mutual opinions differed widely.

What are the risks of street food in Thailand?
I'm going to Thailand for the third time this summer. I have a Thai food lover but I always eat in a restaurant just to be on the safe side. I have rather sensitive intestines and I get to race poop pretty quickly. Friends of mine say that I can eat quietly on the street, but I also read stories from connoisseurs who advise against it because eating on the street is not hygienic.
Reader question: To eat or not to eat on the street in Thailand?
We are going backpacking in Thailand and have to watch our budget. According to many, you can eat well on the street at a stall, others say that you should not do that because of hygiene. Of course I don't want to get sick during my holiday that I have saved for a long time.

Food stalls, the icons of Thailand
Street vendors, like food vendors, are one of the most common features in Thailand's streets. You see them on the street corners, along the side of the road or on the coast.
