When I moved to Thailand, I never saw myself as a noodle person and I always steered away from having to eat it. It felt like everyone was on a noodle craze! I think my main problem was that I’m not a fan of noodle soup and secondly (and maybe the cause of me not liking noodle soup) that it was tasteless. That’s what happens when you grow up in a Norwegian family and have an overly protective mother that doesn’t feed you spicy food. Or friends with a bad stomach that is!

So yummy! There’s so much flavour. The trick is to eat as many as you can and stack them. We always get 10+ bowls of sen lek nua (thin noodles with beef)
Thankfully I met Tom, who is quite the noodle expert, let alone that he loves the spices just as much as me, who- first of all, introduced me to dried noodles (haeng) and second of all- my favourite noodles ever. BOAT NOODLES. We were so obsessed with it for a while and drove far just to try out new ones, but nothing beats the boat noodles in Victory monument. The portions are PERFECT, and there is enough veggies and meat to taste all of it in every slurpppp. SO GOOD.
How do you find these amazing bowls of deliciousness you may ask? Get on a BTS to Victory monument and ask for boat noodles or kuaitiao ruea and the locals will know. Otherwise just walk towards the klongs!
