When you buy your own ingredients and make your own food, you know what is and isn\u2019t in it. And you won\u2019t have to worry about peanut oil or a rogue nut making it into your noodles, posing a serious health hazard in a meal officially served without peanuts. If you\u2019re staying in a hotel or resort, this may mean paying extra for a room that has its own kitchen.<\/p>\n<h2>Opt for Street Food over Restaurants<\/h2>\n<p>One of the benefits of street food is that you can see who is making the food and how they make it. Unless you have a peanut allergy so severe that even being in the vicinity of peanuts will cause a life-threatening problem, you can simply point to the ingredients you want or let them make it and explicitly stop them from adding nuts. You also have the option of searching for a cart that doesn\u2019t sell anything that contains peanuts and know that you\u2019re safe.<\/p>\n<h2>Know the Dishes That Are Off Limits<\/h2>\n<p>One benefit of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingthaifood.com\/9-major-differences-between-thailand-thai-food-and-american-thai-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">authentic Thai food<\/a> is that it doesn\u2019t have as many peanuts as Thai food served in westernized restaurants. If you have a nut allergy, most rice, noodle and curry dishes are safe without fear of an allergic reaction, but you should still ask to make sure. However, this is where knowing the ingredients in common dishes is essential. For example, most curry is fine \u2013 but massaman curry contains peanuts in the sauce. Meat and vegetable skewers are typically fine, but satay skewers, in particular, come with peanut sauce. If you\u2019re ordering it, you can ask for it without sauce, but you need to make sure the meat wasn\u2019t marinated in the peanut sauce, either.<\/p>\n<h2>Know How to Save Your Own Life<\/h2>\n<p>Have a plan on what to do if you suffer an allergic reaction. This may involve carrying an epi-pen in your purse and knowing which pharmacies sell replacements if you need to buy one. Be safe and carry several.<\/p>\n<p>It should include knowing which hospitals can treat your condition, take your insurance, and speak English. Make sure that you always have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samitivejhospitals.com\/en\/allergy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">allergy clinic Bangkok<\/a> address in your wallet or purse, so that you can give it to someone who is talking to you and get appropriate medical attention.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Food allergies shouldn\u2019t hold you back in life. And it is possible to live and travel in Thailand when you have a peanut allergy.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peanuts and cashews are common ingredients in Thai food, and they\u2019re a signature ingredient in many classic dishes, the most popular being Pad Thai, of course.
