Should be ok, I eat subway a lot and I am still alive.
If you are really worried about it, just eat fried food when you are here.

I don't think it matters where you eat you are going to get the occasional bout of the trots until you have built up a resistance to the germs/bacteria in Thailand.

Also I found that some of the older malaria tablets made me ill and I blamed that on the food until I found out what was causing it.

Buy the tablets when you are there, my fist 2 times i was in Thailand I was sick, the tird time I bought the medication as soon as I got there and took them everyday even though I was not sick. It worked too

Bonki's sermon hits the spot! Build up natural resistance or beef it up with pharmaceutical products. Barfing isn't considered something bad in the Chinatowns, maybe rats should be taken off the menues, if they have any.

Please say that you are jesting about eating a subway a lot.
