If you’ve never seen or want to try Thai food, you’ll be delighted to know that Thai’s cook a helluva mean, rich and variety of dishes. Thai food is spicy with loads of fermented chili peppers and even more chili peppers on the side. If you like spicy, try the Tom Yum soup bowl with chicken, shrimp or pork or some pork bits mixed with vegetables and rice.
The Thai’s also have their own blend of curries, often sweet. Red chicken curry or green served with rice. This dish is a must try. There’s also the staple Pad Thai with a mix of rice noodles, vegetables, fried eggs, sprouts and your choice of chicken, pork, beef or shrimp or a combination of all.
Don’t be afraid to try the food of many street vendors. The grilled chicken and beef sticks are delicious and they haven’t caused any problems yet!
