when i first went to BKK i couldn't eat thai food and basically survive on fastfood like KFC and MacDonald's.

Had a barn nok gf once and brought her to eat KFC....she was overjoyed and told me she always wanted to try the 'ais-tim' from the menu.....turned out she was referring to the mashed potato :biggrin:

I avoid fast food as much as possible but sometimes it is the only choice. For LOS, Gai Yang (Issan style BBQ Chicken) and Gai Aob (Baked Chicken) are the best. There is one franchise called Ha Dao Gai Yang (5 star BBQ Chicken) and their outlets are quite popular. Yeah, I do enjoy the mashed potato from KFC. Sometimes, I wonder why the locals are so excited about fast food when their own food are much better and tastier.

Are the 'Baby' joints still around? Remembered joints like Baby1, Baby2 etc
Are 'Baby' joints Arb Nam joints or agogo joints?
'Super' joints I know, Super Girl, Super Babe and Super-arai are agogo joints in Walking.

Clap clap .. You have my respect for eating Thai food . The only food I eat in Thai are pineapple and coconut juices ( but they must cut the fruits freshly in front of me) .

I think if you live in anyplace for some time - you develop a tolerance for the bacteria. Thai food in a food court setting ( i think the Thai's call it "Food Station") is pretty clean. So is food cooked-to-order at outside stalls.

The one time I developed pretty bad food poisoning in the last couple of years was in Singapore. Ate at a neighbourhood food court. If you observe, food prep and how they clean utensils in Singapore can also be pretty disgusting.
