Answer

When trying out food stalls, don't hesitate to ask vendors about their specialties; they love sharing their recommendations.

• Look for busy stalls, as a crowd often indicates good food, and don't be afraid to sample dishes before buying.

• Also, keep an eye out for local favorites like satay or mango sticky rice, which offer a taste of authentic Thai cuisine.

Opening days, menus and prices change, especially in quieter months. Check recent information, confirm dietary requirements directly and use busy, well-kept stalls or restaurants where food is cooked and stored properly.
