How can I communicate my gluten-free needs in Thai?

It's a good idea to learn a few key phrases to help communicate your dietary needs while dining out. Saying 'ไม่ใส่กลูเตน' (mai sai gluten) will let staff know you need gluten-free options.

• You might also want to carry a translation card that explains your dietary restrictions. This can help avoid any misunderstandings, especially in busier restaurants.

• Additionally, many restaurant staff in tourist areas speak some English, so Most will appreciate your effort in communicating.

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.
