The Thai food videos here are making me miss Isaan food in particular. 

Famous Isaan dishes include pounded salads eaten with sticky rice and roast chicken. There's a decent restaurant in Golden Mile that specialises in these dishes but at about 3-4 times the Thai price.  Can't wait to visit Thailand again soon to eat the real deal!

Ohhhhh so all the salads are traditionally Isaan food. No wonder a Thai friend told me papaya salad is too spicy for her because she grew up in the north. Now I feel dumb and mean for laughing at her saying she's not real Thai.

One of the most intensely spicy things I've eaten was a northern Thai dish, believe it or not. But yah, generally speaking, Isaan (east Thailand) and south Thai food tend to be the spiciest.
