What’s Cooking?

Western style menus are common in the tourist areas and international hotels, but while you’re in Thailand you mustn’t miss the local cuisine.

Building on the traditions of India and China, Thailand has blended a unique style. In the south the specialty is seafood whilst in the north sticky rice dishes are staple favourites.

However, be warned. Thai curries can be excruciatingly hot to the Western palate, though if you avoid the fiery sauces, you will be rewarded with a varied and subtle style of cooking that uses the freshest of ingredients.
