Answer

When you're at the markets, don't miss out on trying 'som tam' (papaya salad) and 'kanom jeen' (fermented rice noodles). These dishes are local favorites that pack a punch of flavor.

• If you're feeling adventurous, look for 'mango sticky rice' and various grilled satays. Many stalls will offer unique twists on traditional recipes that you won't find elsewhere!

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.
