BANGKOK STREET FOOD - PAD THAI

BANGKOK STREET FOOD - PAD THAI


1. This entry isn't from my recent visit to Bangkok.

2. In fact, this trip happened back in mid 2019. Well, when I procrastinate, I tend to be the best at it. 

3. As a Muslim traveler, Bangkok, has its pros and cons and it's rather long for me to list them down.  I don't think I'd have enough information to make a comprehensive list to share with all of you, anyways.

4. But I would like to share with you about the food. It's not extremely difficult to find Halal food whether you want to get it at a local restaurant or along the busy streets of Bangkok.

5. But as I was too lazy to do some research prior my trip (company trip by the way), I had assumed that it would be as easy as in Hat Yai.

6. I noticed that the price for Halal street food was pretty much more expensive compared to the non-Halal food. I know because I kept on comparing the price with my non-Muslim colleagues.

7. The price could be double than the non-halal versions. 

8. I felt that I should've explored more and look around for cheaper options so I could stuff more food in my face AHAHA. 

9. For instance, this pad thai I got at the Halal food carnival costed me around 200 Baht (around RM 27). Yeah, that's right.

10. But hey, at the end of the day, the food was good, and only took less than 2 minutes to prepare.All a good trip anyway ;)
