Sai Krok Isan and Sai Ua: Thai Sausages Ranked Among Asia’s Best — Now at Jim’s Terrace

Thai food lovers, rejoice. Two of Thailand’s most iconic sausages—Sai Krok Isan and Sai Ua—have officially earned their place on the global culinary map. According to TasteAtlas, both sausages were ranked among the Top 5 Best Cooked Sausages in Asia, with Sai Krok Isan coming in at No. 3 and Sai Ua at No. 5. Even better, these award-winning sausages are now being served in style at Jim’s Terrace, located at One Bangkok and the Jim Thompson Heritage Quarter.

What Makes These Thai Sausages So Special?

Sai Krok Isan – Northeastern Thailand’s Tangy Gem

Sai Krok Isan, or Isaan sausage, is a fermented pork sausage blended with garlic, cooked rice, and seasoning. The fermentation process creates a signature tangy flavor that’s refreshing yet rich. Described by TasteAtlas as a perfect balance of sour, salty, and savory, it’s a bite that captures the soul of authentic Thai street food.

Notably, CNN Travel had previously included Sai Krok Isan on its list of the best Asian street foods, proving its enduring appeal to food lovers around the world.

Sai Ua – Northern Thailand’s Herb-Infused Classic

Sai Ua, a Northern Thai sausage, is known for its bold, spicy, and aromatic flavor. Made from minced pork mixed with red curry paste, herbs, and finely sliced kaffir lime leaves, this sausage delivers layers of heat, fragrance, and richness. Whether served grilled or pan-seared, it’s a staple of traditional Northern Thai cuisine that has become a favorite with international diners.
