I'm going to Bangkok in 3 days' time. What are some nice Thai food that comes without pork and pork-related ingredients? I want to try local Thai food. I'm willing to try anything from street Thai food to restaurants as long as there's no pork in it. I'm not a muslim but I just don't eat pork.
Pls write the names in English and Thai if you can so thatI can copy the words down and try to find these food in Bangkok. Thank you.

Great suggestions from the other posters. The Thai word for pork is "moo". (Seriously!). The word for "not" is "mai" - so if you need to be clear you don't want pork, just say "mai moo".
But, to be honest, you will have zero problems finding non-pork food. Chicken and fish tend to be the predominant meats the Thais eat, so you'll never be stuck for choice. My personal favourites are massaman curry gai (very simple, non spicy, chicken and potatoes and peanuts) and pad see il gaung - fat noodles with prawns.

You simply ask for chicken or seafood dish and tell them you don't want any pork at all in anything. Just be mindful though that just about everything may be cooked in lard - which is pork fat.
If you go to a shopping mall - most people will speak enough english to understand you.
tip:- if you are in Bangkok - go to the fifth floor of the MBK shopping Mall. They have recently started an International food court there. The food is decent enough and NOT expensive at all. There are many Thai food outlet and the people who take your orders CAN speak english and will understand your request and suggest good dishes for you to try. And the food IS authentic Thai - just need to pick which type of food and which outlet you want to try. I DO recommend it for first timers to Thai food.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
EDIT: someone here mentioned Som Tam salad. I WOULD NOT generally recommend this for first timer to Thai food- especially if you are not used to very spicy hot food. This is raw papaya salad and it can potentially be so hot it will burn you mouth and throat AS WELL AS give you the runs. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

It's easy to find dishes without pork. might help if you learn how to say a recognise the spellings for..
chicken - "gai", beef - "nuea", fish - "plaa" etc... the work for pork is "Moo". Easy to remember!
Sorry no thai keyboard to give you spellings.
You have to try Tom Yum soup, Som Tam Thai salad, noodle soup and red or green curry chicken. You'll find so much choice everywhere you go. I would recommend the street food - sometimes it's even better than the restaurants. I had the best Tom Yum soup of my life sitting at the side of the road accross from Hway Kwang market in Rachada.
Enjoy!

Thom kha gai (coconut chicken soup) and pad see yu (noodles with black bean sauce) are a couple of common ones... just pronounce it like that and they should know what you're talking about
