Love thai food

When it comes to food, Thailand serves you one of the vastest spreads of sumptuous eateries. Being situated near the sea, sea food is one of the reasons why tourists flock to Thailand. In fact food is as much a part of Thai culture, as is a Thai massage or kick boxing.

If you are in Bangkok, you won’t have to walk far before you find something to eat. In fact to taste the actual flavours of Thai cuisine, a roadside movable van or a pavement eatery should be your destination….but yes…don’t be surprised to see and hear some of the funniest sounding and looking dishes!

Likewise, other smaller towns of Thailand also offer the most delicious and mouth watering dishes. And if you are game to try out something new and different, then opt for the “Yam Makhua”, a salad of grilled long eggplants topped with tiny dried shrimps or the “Gaeng Som”, a soup flavored with tamarind and palm sugar, packed with chunks of coarsely chopped cauliflowers.

A word of caution here would be necessary here, if you are a pure vegetarian. Though the country offers an unmatched culinary experience, it often gets difficult for a veggie to get his/her hands of something that does not contain meat, fish or egg. Infact the Thais often don’t seem to understand the major difference ‘coz for them everything is “eatable”! thus, you might even find it impossible to have a simple cheese burger!

There quite a few “Vegetarian” restaurants in Bangkok offering limited variety of dishes, but in the suburbs like Pattaya and Phuket, it will be wise to carry your own veg food to avoid disappointments.
