On many streets in Thailand, a variety of bugs and worms are available for eating. These bugs and worms have been deep fried and are pretty inoffensive. You will find the flavor comes completely from the added spices and soy.
To prepare an order, the vendor takes some bugs, some kefir lime leaves, some ground red pepper, some whole peppers and soy- the local kids love it----- as you can see in the video.
On Phuket island, we filmed this video in June of 2015 and we tried all kinds of bugs and worms. I did not expect this to go well but it was not a big deal. We then put them on a plate and continued eating in a more refined setting. The local Thai people love these and we did as well. It was actually better than we thought it would be.
It is an experience that you should try, if only once. Enjoy Phuket and read our website for more tips on experiencing Phuket in the best possible way. See you here soon.
