Dave - <BR> <BR>I can't speak to Bali but I do have experience with some Bangkok stalls. <BR> <BR>We've never had a problem with street food there although I must say, we usually just snack at stalls and eat meals in restaurants. We generally try to follow the basic stall wisdom of only eating at vendors who seem to have a busy cart and high turnover of food. That way it doesn't sit around very long and is usually very fresh. <BR> <BR>I would advise making sure your vitamins are up to par. On our first trip in '99 I got terribly sick the last two days we were there. We thought it was some chicken I ate at a stall-come-restaurant but my husband was fine. <BR> <BR>Turns out, I heard on the news at home two weeks later that I had caught some kind of bad Thai flu that was "sweeping" <BR>through Thailand. At that point, I was just starting to get better so then we knew it wasn't food poisioning. You don't stay sick for two weeks on food poisioning. <BR> <BR>In any case, make sure your immune system is up to par while you're there and run yourself too hard. I notice that I have a tendency to get a cold or the flu if I "go too fast" while away. Make sure to get enough rest. <BR> <BR>Have a blast and drink/eat a Thai coconut for me! <BR> <BR>Lynn <BR> <BR>:-)
