Craziest Thailand food
Everyone know that Thailand is known as country that has plenty of weird and crazy food ever.so this is some of the example of the craziest food in thailand.
Mok Huak (Developing Tadpoles)
Mok huak is made of developing tad poles and fermented fish. Forget frog legs or the idea that these little tadpoles are cute, they’ve already started growing legs. Nevertheless, they’re packed with nutrients and a unique flavour some find irresistible. This food is usually served with fermented fish sauce which is known as Pla Raa in Thai.Muak Huak is originated from Isaan, North East of Thailand.It is not really cheap compared to some other exotic food in Thailand as it is only available in the rainy season months. Muak Huak is mixed up with lemongrass, chilies, dill, seasonings, sweet basil and herbs in a bowl. It is then wrapped with banana leafs and grilled with charcoal. It is usually eaten together with sticky rice (khao niao). Developing frog or tadpoles taste like chicken nuggets (apparently!) because they are boneless.
You can find it at any northeast style restaurant.Once you tasted it,you will be impressed with unique unexplainable and you wont be able to forget it.You can find this kind of food at Pattaya floating market.
Larb Mote Daeng (Red Ants Eggs)
The smart folks in Thailand have been one step ahead of us this whole time. Larb mote daeng, or red ants and ant eggs, is an exotic delicacy that surprisingly tastes better than it sounds or looks. If you can just conveniently forget that you’re scooping up a portion of ants’ eggs onto your spoon, we have a sneaking suspicion that you might actually like this dish at the end of the day.
A bite-size snack you should give it a try. There are many types of insects Thai people like to snack on: crickets, grasshoppers, worms, etc. It’s like eating chips though… these insects are high in protein.
Frog legs taste exactly like chicken meat, but they are more firm and chewy. I bet you can imagine how firm the legs are since frogs always jump over here and there.
Made popular in the Philippines, somehow that infamous Balut has found its way to the streets of Bangkok as well. For the uninitiated, this is a fertilized duck egg which has a formed embryo within its shell. This one is definitely not for the weak hearted.This not only shortens the suffering, but also prevents you from involuntarily gagging or throwing up by cutting out any visuals. Don’t think you can get away with this trick when try khai khao though. The fertilized embryo means that you’ll be crunching your way through several unmistakable textures, including bones and feathers. Take a deep breath, and good luck. You’ll need it for this one.
Another bizarre dish that I would not recommend for this hot weather. Many foreign travelers (or even some locals) are afraid to eat this dish since these tiny shrimps are still alive and leaping in the bowl as if they’re trying to dancing. I heard some those who love the dish that it’s very crunchy and spicy though.
Grilled rat is a very common food you can find in the rural area of Thailand.these rats are different from the ones you saw on the street. They are found in rice field. Local folks used to eat it as a substitute of chicken.

Never miss this dish, if you’re a seafood lover. A spicy shredded green mango salad is tossed with the mantis shrimp egg. The eggs give a new texture and rich flavor to the dish.

Luu Muu (Raw Pig’s Blood)
Luu Muu is raw pigs’ blood combined with a spice mixture and eaten with noodles.According to Bangkok-based veterinarian Dr Daniel Schar, the consumption of raw pig’s blood may cause “Streptococcus suis infection” which “may result in a fatal outcome in upwards of 15-20 percent of cases”.
