About Chawadee
Born in Chiang Rai, Thailand but raised in Pittsburgh, I am a Thai-American who has lived in Bangkok on and off since 1995. I am a food writer specializing in street food and have written food-focused guidebooks spanning the length of Thailand, including the third edition of "Thailand's Best Street Food," as well as a recent cookbook, "Real Thai Cooking," both currently in bookstores. I have also been on a number of television shows, including the Bangkok episodes of "Street Food Asia" and "Somebody Feed Phil" on Netflix, and my work has appeared in publications including The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, and Financial Times. At the moment, my idea of a great holiday is sitting on my couch and watching "X-Files" reruns.
