christo23 Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 I have to confess that while I really like Thailand I´m not really a huge fan of the cuisine. Somehow all that sweet/sour/spicy combinations just don´t do it for me. In addition tot that I get a grumbling stomach quite often when I eat Thai food. Does anyone feel the same or knows someone who feels the same? Or am I a complete ignorant? I´m not a McDonalds junky and try to eat relatively healthy.

samak Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 BKK, Pattaya and Phuket have so many choices for food of all different countries; therefore you do not need to worry. i know many expats, who have lived here for years and never liked Thai food. i for myself like it very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shygye Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 What about steamed chicken over steamed rice with chicken broth? That is part of Thai cuisine. What about pad thai? You add the peppers and sauces to your taste. What about chicken noodle soup? There are many choices for those sensitive to spicy foods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaiGuruDev Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Some things take a little while to get used to, but a lot of the Thai food is actually quite good. Experiment with things; try just a little Sri Ratcha sauce, or just a few spices. It's not required that we dip into the spices like the TGs, but I find I add a little more to each meal as my visit goes along. And eateries range from a food cart on the soi to some pretty damn fancy digs. A restaurant like Cabbages & Condoms has food that might be more pleasing to the average Westerner, but the spice tray is never far away. I like to get out and try new things. If I order something I don't care for it's no big deal, I just may not order it next time. But if I find something good, it gets added to the list. The joy is in the journey.

Guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 I love Thai food but I can't eat it all the time so I change to western food for a day then go back to Thai food. When I'm in the Philippines, I hate the food there are stick to western or Japanese food. One can only eat so much rice before you just have to have a bloody great big potato or a plate of chips :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 I love Thai food myself, but for you, there should be plenty of Chinese options. Depending on the style, they won't be spicy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singhaman Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Go for the normal Curries, like the Masaman Gai. They are not spicy and come with Potato's and Carrots. Really great and tasty. On the other side there is lots of other healthy food arround. Fried noodles with Vegies. I love Thaifood but it always makes me hungry. I am never stuffed like I used to be at home, after Pasta's and Pizza's. However, keep in mind that the Thai Cuisine is very healthy and does not have so many fats. Of course it is not easy to convince some one who has really tried all the things. My favourite is the Gai Yang, the Isan barbequed chicken.
