Non-spicy Thai dishes to try

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you will know there are a few things that I don’t get on with, boats and Thai food; boats simply because I’m scared of the water and Thai food, because I don’t like things too spicy.

Now the wife has said for a while that I must try to eat Thai food because it simply cannot be healthy for me to live on steaks, burgers and chips, personally I think, add a beer and I’ll be fine.

However I have given in to demands and agreed to try some other Thai dishes that would appeal to me as they are not spicy. Firstly she took me to a little shack of a place on the Tesco road into Chaweng, passed the lake and more into town.

She ordered Pad Thai for me and straight away I turned my nose up, not ever tasting it before. Well knock me for six, it wasn’t spicy and was really tasty. The next day we ventured back along the same road, but to a different shack; this time I was given something that resembled sweet and sour chicken and was very tasty.

Now for the past week I’ve been taking myself for lunch and trying all types of different Thai food that is not spicy. I’m ashamed to say that for all these years I’ve actually missed out on something very tasty in Thai culture.

If anyone wants to give me any more recommendations on what to eat, which is not spicy I will gladly welcome them and report back to you.
