Answer
Navigating street food with food allergies can be tricky, but there are some effective strategies. Start by communicating clearly with the vendors; many are knowledgeable about their ingredients and can help you identify dishes that are safe to eat. • For example, if you're allergic to shellfish, you can ask for vegetarian options or dishes that exclude certain ingredients. Vendors are often accustomed to requests and can suggest modifications. • Also, look for stalls with a high customer turnover, as this typically ensures freshness, and the vendors are likely more familiar with what they serve. If you're ever in doubt, don’t hesitate to ask about how a dish is prepared. • Lastly, consider visiting larger markets like the Cha-Am Night Market, where you’ll find a variety of vendors and can compare options. This way, you can have a broader selection to choose from while ensuring your dietary needs are met.
