We hired a guide for a street food tour of Bangkok. It was interesting but not really what we were looking for. Mostly restaurants we would have gone into anyway. Not exactly a tour set up by Anthony Bourdain's fixer. The advice on street food and whether a particular place is safe seems to be the same everywhere - look for popular places with a lot of people, ask friends, look on social media. But as we said, even the Michelin star place in Singapore had some sketchy health practices and at least there they had government safety ratings which are non-existent here in Bangkok. Anyway this is Yiwah, our guide, with Elizabeth and me sampling some banana dipped in coconut milk and coconut pieces, then fried in oil with pandan leaf. Delicious, but of course it is a deep fried banana!
