Methods. A cross-sectional tourist restaurant survey was conducted. Thirty-five restaurants recommended in the two top selling
Bangkok guidebooks on Amazon.com were sampled for bacterial pathogens known to cause diarrhea in Thailand, namely
Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Arcobacter (a Campylobacter-like organism). A total of 70 samples from two meals at each restaurant
were obtained. Suspected bacterial pathogens were isolated by differential culture and tested for antibiotic resistance.
