Thailand's street food is cooked to order at carts, stalls and tiny shophouses, often by people who have made a single dish for decades. Some of these places are now famous, with queues and Michelin listings; others are simply the best version of a dish in their neighbourhood.

This collection covers street food stalls and shophouses across the country, from Bangkok's Chinatown and old town to the night markets of Chiang Mai and the noodle shops of Phuket and Ayutthaya. Each page gives the address, a map, opening hours where they could be confirmed, the price level and the dishes to order.

Opening times at small stalls change often, and many close one day a week or when they sell out, so check before making a special trip. Most take cash only.
