True. But does this also go for the extremely touristy Pattaya where many bars and restaurants are foreign run?
If you buy your food from a food car where you can see the cook you can be sure. Pattaya also has some small eating stalls clearly run by Thai. But when you eat in a hotel or restaurant here, I think you just can’t be sure. You can be sure in 99% of Thailand, but a place like Pattaya gives me doubt.
