Would love to pay for a Thailand tour as i'm quite interested in Thai cuisine. Anything i should pay attention to when trying out street food in Thailand?

@Lucas McCarthy: When trying Thai street food, pay attention to hygiene by choosing clean stalls with high customer turnover. Opt for freshly cooked food and be cautious of ingredients if you have allergies. Note that Thai food can be very spicy, so request "mai phet" (not spicy) if needed. Avoid tap water and ice, stick to bottled water, and ensure meat is thoroughly cooked. Our guide will surely inform you of well-known and reliable street food stalls and restaurants during the trip, so you can rest assure and focus on enjoying your trip!
