But for mr.hotsia, Mae Sot is not only about nature or travel; it also has the charm of street food that should not be missed, especiallyMae Sot Grilled Squidwhich I personally tasted and felt compelled to write about in detail.

I traveled to a small street in Mae Sot city where an old grilled squid shop is open all day. The aroma of grilled squid mixed with the sizzling sound of the charcoal stove made me stop to taste it. The first bite was full of the sweetness of fresh squid grilled just right, with a slightly charred exterior but tender and juicy inside. The special dipping sauce served alongside had a perfect balance of spicy, sour, and sweet flavors. Every bite reminded me of the true essence of Mae Sot.

Some shops also offer special dishes like dried squid or salted squid that I once tried fromPhangan Island Dried and Salted SquidThe flavors are similar but differ in preservation and seasoning methods.
