Thai cuisine has established its
place in the international culinary
scene. The sheer number of
restaurants that have sprung up in
major international capitals of the
world attests to its phenomenal
popularity. Offering a variety of
flavors and tastes, with
enthusiastic use of herbs, spices
and market-fresh ingredients, Thai
food is famed for its balance and
harmony. An exciting combination of
five fundamental tastes – hot,
sweet, sour, salty, and bitter –
bring contrasting yet complementing
flavors and textures to each dish.
Coconut milk, seafood, and fruit
also play a key part in Thai
cuisine.
Reputedly the soul of Thai cooking,
Thai rice is the center of the meal
and all the other foods on the table
are regarded as side dishes. One of
the great pleasures of being in
Thailand is the abundance of
restaurants and the cost of eating
is rather cheap when compared to
those in Western countries. Thailand
is an agricultural country producing
grains, vegetables, and meat and at
very reasonable prices and fresh
water fish and seafood are also
abundant. This factor, together with
the gift of cooking, makes Thailand
a paradise for every food lover.
Many visitors say that one of their
many pleasures while being in
Thailand is food!
