Because I'm a vegetarian, finding food can sometimes be stressful as I travel the world perpetually. I planned to spend two months in Thailand last year, and since I'd been there many times I was aware that many vegetarians options were available. My problem was the language barrier; I speak a little Thai but not enough to ask about all the food choices at street food stalls, markets, or food courts. So I asked a Thai friend to accompany me to the local food bazaar in the lower level of Central Airport Plaza in Chiang Mai to show me the ropes. Her explanation and descriptions gave me confidence to eat with the locals and take advantage of the much lower prices, rather than in the pricier restaurants that cater to tourists.
