Updated: Dec 11

For food lovers and global explorers, street food is more than just a meal; it’s an authentic slice of the culture and history of a region. But there’s a truth most seasoned travelers will agree on - finding real street food here in Amsterdam isn't always easy. The flavors, the spirit, the unmistakable buzz of street-side dining - these can’t be recreated just anywhere.


Yet, once you find it, you’ll know. Such is the case with Thai Thai Poppetje, Amsterdam's hidden gem for authentic Thai street food.


Whether you’re a freelancer working remotely or a globe-trotting professional with a taste for adventure, Thai Thai Poppetje offers an extraordinary dining experience that brings the bustling streets of Bangkok right to the heart of Amsterdam.


Meet Bo - the spicy queen behind Thai Thai Poppetje

The secret to Thai Thai Poppetje’s irresistible dishes is a woman named Bo. Born and raised in Thailand, Bo’s culinary craft is steeped in authentic Thai traditions, yet her international experiences and creativity add a unique flair to every dish she curates.


With her deep-rooted love for food and a belief that good meals create shared connections, Bo’s recipes are a homage to her homeland - a celebration of the bold and diverse flavors of Thai cuisine. She’s not just the mastermind behind the menu; she embodies the passion and authenticity that makes Thai Thai Poppetje a standout in Amsterdam’s food scene.

The Khao Soi Experience

Khao Soi, a comforting speciality from Chiang Mai, is pure culinary artistry. Picture this - a rich yellow coconut curry soup paired with fresh egg noodles, crispy fried noodles on top, and garnished with red onion, pickled cabbage, and lime. Every spoonful is a stunning balance of creaminess, spice, and zest.


If you close your eyes, you’ll feel like you’re perched on a tiny stool in the corner of a

crowded alley, taking in the vibrant hum of life that Bangkok street food embodies.

For a dose of nostalgia or something to complement your meal, the creatively curated drink menu never disappoints.
