Ok so you hear of Thai street food all the time, especially Pad Thai. I even wrote about my Top 5 Thai dishes too but I forgot one street food stall you will find everywhere – Roti pancakes and in particular a Thai banana pancake.
Anyone who has been to Thailand will have seen the roti bread pancake stalls everywhere. Especially on the islands and in the beach resorts.
I love eating Thai banana pancakes!
So each time I’m in Thailand I make sure I eat plenty. You could even have a whole meal at a pancake stall from savoury options to sweet. My favourite and pretty much the standard for everyone is the thai banana pancake.
I met a guy in Koh Samui who I kept returning to. He was really nice and for some reason his pancakes always tasted the best. I think it was because of the way he rubbed the oil off. I had loads of pancakes from him and I nearly persuaded him to let me have a go but he was a bit reluctant to let an English guy mess up his pancake stand.
So seeing as I couldn’t get a video of me making my own pancake here are his crazy skills instead…..complete with a typically bad Thai band playing in the background!
That banana chopping is impressive! Pancakes (or crepes as we call them here in NYC), are seriously one of my favorite street vendor foods ever. No, make that favorite foods ever!

We love a good pancake, and that banana one looks delicious! We’ll have to definitely try one next time we’re in Thailand. P.S. his chopping skills on the banana is seriously impressive
Yes I need to learn how to make Roti pancakes and you should definitely be trying them next time you are in Thailand. I agree about the chopping skills I was impressed watching him do it over and over again without even looking! So casual!!
