Thai dishes can include peanuts, shellfish, fish, soy, eggs and wheat. Sauces may contain ingredients that are not obvious from their appearance, so careful communication matters.
In the kitchen
Tell staff the specific allergen and whether cross-contact is a concern. Ask whether the kitchen can accommodate the request safely. Recipes vary, so a dish name alone cannot confirm safety.
Pairing and practical tips
Condiments, curry pastes, stocks and toppings can contain allergens. If staff cannot confirm ingredients or safe handling, choose another option. Follow qualified medical advice for personal allergy management.
Thai recipes vary by region, household and available ingredients. Taste as you cook and adjust seasoning in small steps.
