ThaiGone is a living collection of real Thai and Lao recipes, the ones passed down through families, sold on street corners, and cooked over charcoal in villages most Americans will never visit. Every dish comes with video, step-by-step instructions, and a story.
Forget pad thai. We're talking about the dishes grandmothers make when nobody's watching. Fermented fish paste pounded in a mortar. Sticky rice grilled on charcoal. Jungle curries with ingredients that don't have English names. This is the food of Laos and Thailand, unfiltered.
Minced meat with toasted rice powder, padaek, and enough chilies to make your eyes water. The Lao original, not the watered-down version.
Fermented pork sausage, tangy and funky, grilled until the skin cracks. Street food perfection you can smell from a block away.
A thick stew from Luang Prabang with buffalo skin, lemongrass, dill, and sakhan pepper. The dish that defines Lao comfort food.
A community built around the food most of the world doesn't know exists.
Watch the full cooking process. No shortcuts, no substitutions. See how it's actually made in a Thai or Lao kitchen.
