Street foods have been a mainstay of Thai culture for centuries, and today it is one of the world's hottest culinary trends.

Jarrett Wrisley - Food Writer and Owner of Appia and Soul Food Mahanakorn

The delicious universe of street food in Bangkok is confounding to navigate, and there's no better guide than Chawadee Nualkhair. For twenty years Chow has combed the streets for the smokiest stir-fried noodles, the crispiest fried chicken, and the richest soup noodles. Chow lives to eat on the street; her hilarious blog and this informative book are proof of this, and all you need to eat well in Bangkok

Chef McDang - TV Food Personality

Chow and I are truly old friends. Her book on Thai street food is complete and very well organized. I particularly enjoy her comments about whether Thai street food will survive or evolve into something different. This book is not only useful for those who want to know where to find the best street food but also to inform them about the types of street food available in Thailand and specifically Bangkok

Ian Kittichai - Chef and Owner of Kittichai

Thai street food is very personal to me since I grew up cooking street food with my mother and pushing a curry cart. This book demystifies and celebrates the intricacies of Thai street food and inspires the reader to get out there and eat!
