Street Food @ Walking Steet, Patayya, Thailand

Anytime from when the sun is about to set till late into the night,  hawkers line Walking Street and the adjoining street that leads into the Patayya Bay selling a variety of things.

The sheer variety of food that is available is awesome.  You get Pizzas, Shawrma, kebabs and then a whole lot of native cuisine.  The native cuisine includes a whole lot of seafood including fish, prawns, shrimps, mussels and squids.  There is also pork and chicken cooked Thai style.  Meat is either served grilled or fried or cooked in a Thai gravy and served with rice or noodles.  I should not forget to mention that there is plenty of fresh juices, fruits and tender coconut water available to quench your thirst - which you will definitely have considering the tropical warm weather.

For around THB 100 - 150 you are more than full.  The only problem is that you are spoilt for choice and have not tasted it all.

There are also quite a few seafood restaurants wherein you can choose the live fish or lobster that you want cooked for you.  The street is lined with a number of bars and the street along the bay also has a McDonalds and a Pizza Hut - if you do not want to experiment.

Hat's off to Thai street food.
