🇹🇭 Can you really get an authentic Philly cheesesteak for $4 and BBQ skewers for 40 cents?! 🥩🔥
Over on @DOCandBEANEATS we headed out to a local night market in Bangna to see just how far our money could go on street food. From fresh spicy shrimp corn salad and sweet coconut pancakes to .40cents skewers and a surprising $4 Australian beef cheesesteak... we found some huge WINS (and a couple of fails 😅)!
