Eat amazing food in Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia for $2-4 per meal.
You don't need to eat at tourist restaurants to have amazing food in Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Here's how to eat better for less.
Street Food Markets
Arrival times matter. Morning markets have fresh breakfast dishes, evening markets have grilled meats and noodles. Aim for 1-3 USD per meal.
The 'Khao Pad' Test
Order fried rice at any small stall. Taste tells you if they're serious about food. If it's good, order their specials next.
Avoid Tourist Menus
If it has pictures or English, prices jump 3x. Ask locals where they eat. Google Maps reviews in the local language are gold.
