Additional Information
Perhaps the thing I love most about Thailand is the sheer number of food vendors, street food carts, markets, and local spots in general that deliver amazing quality food and drink options at crazy cheap prices. It’s probably one of the biggest reasons that this country is so vibrant. The cart featured in the video above is a local favorite that you can find in Phuket’s Old Town. I love the fact that the freedom exists here for people to sell food and drinks in general public areas. This would never be allowed or I’m from back in Canada, and definitely makes my home city feel a little bit sterile compared to the vibrance that Thailand dishes out. I remember going back there for a couple weeks to visit friends and family and it was shocking to see just how quiet my home city’s downtown core was. I grew up thinking that it was super busy and full of activity, but compared to Thailand, it feels like the suburbs. As I mentioned before, I honestly think the biggest reason for this is the street food scene here in Asia.
