Dining in Chiang Mai, Thailand vs. North America

Foreigners love their burgers, fries, drinks and Thai rice, which at every meal. But I prefer lived most of my life in Canada and now in retirement in Chiang Mai, Thailand?
As in any large city there are numerous restaurants for every taste and budget. Chiang Mai is different. Thais like to eat. The restaurants are full of Thais and foreigners to enjoy all types of cuisine. Instead, treat all with excellent restaurants for dinner, but not every day that this section refers to the daily life of Thai people eat here in Chiang Mai.
Restaurants are popular in North America by Harvey, McDonald's and Burger King. Here we have street vendors. The end result is a quick meal ready at affordable prices.
Sell street dealers may, fruits like pineapple, mango, melon, strawberries (local) and more. Each fruit is cut into small pieces and in a plastic bag and a long piece of wood on which they feed. The cost is usually 10 baht, which is about 25 cents and the fruits are fresh and delicious. Even here the sellers sell fast food and snacks. Make a meal of boiled rice, meat, vegetables and put back in a plastic bag, but this time by a tight rubber band around 20 baht, or 50 cents, select a plate of rice or pasta or soup. Tasty and is normally prepared and ready-to-let hot or if you wait a moment that you get rid of the pot and put it in his pocket, while you wait. Then, a hot meal and a tasty snack for a total of about 75 cents for this, many Thai food in Chiang Mai is more common. Then you go to him to take home, throw the rubber band, put some rice in a bowl, place several cups of the table with a bottle of water and is one of their meals.

We all love fast food and we all want to be accessible. Common. What do you find different between here and there is the price, quality and service.
Price. The prices of food, whether it is cheap in restaurants or suppliers as compared to what we are accustomed. A filling meal can be less than U.S. $ 1 per meal, as described above, which includes a fruit plate of rice, flour and cooking peddler peddler. For only $ 2.50, you can on everything you eat, complete, desserts, coffee, tip and tax included buffet and dining advice for parking, the prices are low because the ingredients are grown and why the cost of labor is cheap.
Quality. The quality of food is much healthier than here at home. Home KFC, McDonald's and Harvey are lunch and dinner restaurants. If you think you are healthy foods, think, think again. We have no fat French fries, hamburgers, filled with ketchup, mustard, onion, mayonnaise and eat more to mask the taste of meat. We eat rice, fresh vegetables, fresh fish, spiced drink water with meals instead of plastic containers large bucket of ice water and sugar soft drinks.
Service. A teenager to earn a few dollars more to live in a fast-food or adult working full time at a restaurant here. What I expect to offer the best service? needs nothing further to say.
If you come to Chiang Mai in search of restaurants, what you eat normally. You can also stay home and buy a video of Thailand, or watch a TV program in Thailand.
The food here is delicious, healthy and inexpensive.The basic ingredient of every meal is rice. Yes rice for breakfast. I've never been one for rice. Papas has my needs. But here are the potatoes more expensive and although I realize that buying soup and potato chips and French is no exception.As I said, Thailand is known for a little good taste.Then combine fresh ingredients with rice and special sauces are the key to the taste and there you have it - healthy, tasty and inexpensive meal.
High, when local fresh pineapple, watermelon, mango, strawberries or a dozen or more fruit grown and you can enjoy a meal and is good for you.The funny thing is that about the food, what you really love for you is not good. What are your favorites? Cake, cakes, French fries, hamburgers, ice cream. Well, not so good for you in terms of regular diet. What food do you want? Broccoli, asparagus, spinach, brown rice, cooked chicken. Now they are good for you.
So if you come here in Thailand. Try different types of Thai cuisine. You can create a soup, one can never have enough or Thai desserts are to have no idea what it was and still fun, or fresh fish is abundant. Shrimp, catfish and more will be cooked in a large bowl appetite for more.
I ate meals, snacks and fruits are not sold by the providers of little food and had no problems. The ingredients are fresh, preserved in ice, if necessary, and cleaned the kitchen regularly. I see this as a safe and cost effective to buy snacks and meals. I recommend a bottle of water can be bought for 13 cents only 7.11, because it can be a little dehydrated, "especially when you have much to do on foot, and that in either case, the cause of a crack in the bathroom.
There are things that I do not like Thai food? Yes, a fruit called durian is love Thai, but has a bad smell when I get a chance I had been breathing through the mouth. Apart from the smell, the texture of a cake and a rich aroma. What I do not have the courage to try, and we hope that this is a healthy eating insects are fried. I think it's only a matter of getting used to. Maybe I could eat fruits and insects still breathe regularly through the nose and closed his eyes held during the meal.
But you should try what you Suki. This is a soup that is cooked at the table in a pot with fire underneath. You decide which ingredients like chicken, beef, liver, fish, and add and remove after cooking. The meat is usually the first, because they need more time to cook, then the vegetables. In five minutes you have your soup. Two small bowls to accompany the meal. Both are made of red pepper. One aspect of a green paste and the other a red pulp. You can immerse meat or fish paste, or put a spoon in the soup. The spicy green paste, it makes me sweat a little and gives me a longing for a glass of cool water into the soup to eat. The red paste, which does not and is not recommended if you try to eat or Mexicans are used to it. My girlfriend eats her Suki with the green paste and used to make trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night and not brushing their teeth here. A filling meal for four people for about U.S. $ 3 and includes tax, tip and a bottle of water with a bucket of ice.
Remember, as I earlier that Thailand a good reputation for good food has said for every taste. That is true. The key is in the sauce. I do not know what ingredients go in sauces, but I know I'm not a rice eater and now I am scraping the bottom of each serving plate of food to me. normal white rice in a pot of rice cooked with vegetables and meat combined with special sauce is simply delicious.
And if you know where I ate the choice now, a fast-food restaurant on the premises or a street vendor here? My answer would be a seller to be here.
