Local Cuisine

Thais love "their" food and so do millions of others around the world. Combining sweet, sour, salty and spicy flavors, it is full of creativity, richness and variety.

As in the rest of Asia rice is the staple. Pork & poultry are favorite meats and from the surrounding seas comes an astounding variety of delights.

That said, a proper Thai meal should have harmony between the flavors and textures. For example, a typical Thai dinner may consist of a soup, curry dish or spicy salad and a meat dish with vegetables. If the soup is spicy then the salad will not be and so on. All items should be served at the same time to allow the diner to experience how the flavors compliment one another.

The food is often prepared in a wok and features pepper and garlic. Lemon grass is another popular spice while Thai green and red curries are legendary. A word of caution is in order however; the tiny red or green peppers known as Prik Kee Noo, have been known to cause blisters on the lips and palate. Hotter than hot they should not to be consumed on an empty stomach.

That said, just to get you started, below we have outlined some of Thailand's most popular dishes:

Goong pad phed. Fried prawns with chili paste.

Pla pad king. Seabass with fresh ginger.

Gaeng phed gai
. Chicken curry

Gaeng phed

Khao obb sapparod. Fried rice in pineapple.
