Update #13: Street Food

Posted on February 15, 2010

Chiang Mai is inundated with places to eat in the street. Food and drink is so easy to come by, and so cheap, that many Thais don't have kitchens of their own. A rice cooker will often suffice, they'll simply eat from the stands or take home a bag of prepared food. Apparently they eat out an average of 13 times a week.

Groups of food carts can be found across town, often setting up at 6pm and tearing down around 6am. The options are plentiful and plates often cost less than $1 US. During the day there are plentiful markets with stands selling fruit shakes or deserts, may a kind of egg, whole chickens, some random black substance I've yet to identify, noodles galore, a huge range of skewers and satays, ice coffee, fresh fruit, all sorts of fish and even the occasional fried worm or cockroach. It's an enormous cottage industry and often feels like the main form of monetary exchange here is based on people feeding each other and eating together in public.

Tomorrow we're off to ride the Mae Hong Son Loop .... back in a week!
