David Mondore Guide Details Thailand Meals for $1.20

Travel creator David Mondore has published a guide to eating affordably across Thailand, based on two months exploring its restaurants, markets and street-food stalls. He says meals can cost about $1.20 to $1.60 and highlights regional dishes, from Chiang Mai curries to southern seafood. His advice is to follow local crowds to busy stalls, where high turnover can mean fresher food, and to try freshly cooked dishes, including grilled options.
