Thailand is very much lawless when it comes to food and health regulations. Many Thai people neither understand foodborne illness, nor do they see a financial benefit in disposing of otherwise questionable food. Not to mention all the farming chemicals they use that have been banned in western countries!<\/p>\n

Besides, would you trust a restaurant that advertises clean testes? After seeing this below sign, I just *had* to eat here. =)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As such, your weakling farang stomach (\u0e17\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e07), after eating clean food (\u0e2d\u0e32\u0e2b\u0e32\u0e23\u0e2a\u0e30\u0e2d\u0e32\u0e14) most of your life, is especially susceptible to foodborne-illnesses (\u0e2d\u0e32\u0e2b\u0e32\u0e23\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e47\u0e19\u0e1e\u0e34\u0e29) while in Thailand.<\/p>\n

But before we get started on \u0e04\u0e33\u0e28\u0e31\u0e1e\u0e17\u0e4c\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e21\u0e48 (new vocabulary), a few tips to eat safe. First, avoid eating Thai shrimp \u0e01\u0e38\u0e49\u0e07\u0e44\u0e17\u0e22 here in Thailand. The Thai shrimp imported to the US follows USFDA regulations, but shrimp meant for local buyers follow no regulations at all. Most people won’t have any reactions to it (\u0e41\u0e1e\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e32\u0e2b\u0e32\u0e23), but some people can get massively sick. Next, avoid street food (\u0e23\u0e49\u0e32\u0e19\u0e2d\u0e32\u0e2b\u0e32\u0e23\u0e02\u0e49\u0e32\u0e07\u0e16\u0e19\u0e19) that isn’t cooked on the spot. BBQ meat on a stick foods are typically safe since you buy it right off the grill, just don’t buy it off of someone who seems to have personal hygiene issues. And probably best to avoid buying food in the early morning as it could be leftovers (\u0e2d\u0e32\u0e2b\u0e32\u0e23\u0e40\u0e2b\u0e25\u0e37\u0e2d) that\u2019s been sitting out since the previous day.<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s say you eat some food that isn’t fresh (\u0e2d\u0e32\u0e2b\u0e32\u0e23\u0e44\u0e21\u0e48\u0e2a\u0e14). You’ll first feel perhaps a bit dizzy (\u0e40\u0e27\u0e35\u0e22\u0e19\u0e2b\u0e31\u0e27) or get a stomach ache (\u0e1b\u0e27\u0e14\u0e17\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e07). You will start to feel sick (in this case, \u0e44\u0e21\u0e48\u0e2a\u0e1a\u0e32\u0e22). Soon you’ll find yourself vomiting (\u0e2d\u0e32\u0e40\u0e08\u0e35\u0e22\u0e19, or just say \u0e2d\u0e27\u0e01 for a cruder ‘hurl’). You’ll also get diarrhea (\u0e17\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e40\u0e2a\u0e35\u0e22). This is when your body attempts to flush out your stomach asap, and may result in dehydration (\u0e02\u0e32\u0e14\u0e19\u0e49\u0e33). You might also feel fairly weak, or \u0e2b\u0e21\u0e14\u0e41\u0e23\u0e07.<\/p>\n
