Thai Street Food, Restaurants, and Recipes | Eating Thai Food
Satisfy yourself with the best Thai street food!
Earlier this year I kicked off a project teaching kids to cook as a way to build confidence, encourage nutrition, and teach invaluable life skills. I named the project The Courageous Kitchen and have been busy recruiting friends, chefs, and people I know who love to cook to come and teach. We cook all kinds […]
Lately I’ve been running around central Bangkok, so I’ve had a chance to eat at some of the more well-known Thai restaurants in Bangkok. Hai Som Tam Convent (ไฮส้มตำคอนแวนต์) is a long standing Isaan restaurant located on the famous Thanon Convent in the heart of Silom. Throughout years of walking through Silom, I just had […]
