Thailand is a street food paradise. Exploring Thailand wouldn’t be complete without try tasting Thai food from vendors.
In this article, I would like to recommend some Thai snacks ( my favorite ones ) you must eat and they are available throughout the country.
1 Shaved Ice with Syrup
It’s the same concept as Bingsu in Korea. A bowl of coned shaved ice is poured with colorful syrups at your choice. Beneath or on top of the ice, you can choose the toppings: red bean pastes, grass jelly, corn, coconut jelly, taro, and candied pumpkin. This menu is the most popular during the summer in Thailand.
Called in Thai: Nam-Khang-Sai
2 Grilled Pork Skewers
This menu can be eaten as a light meal or snack because it is common to see this food in front of Thai schools in the morning. The skewered pork uses a fatty cut marinated with oyster sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and sugar; it has a sweet and salty flavor. You can have it with rice or sticky rice.

A scoop or two of ice cream (coconut, mixed fruit, or Thai tea flavors) that’s been pressed into a bun or between two pieces of white bread similar to SUBWAY sandwich.
