Herbs are also the main ingredients in Thai food and the fermented fish sauce that is placed on the dining table in every authentic Thai restaurant.

Rice

While “Thai food” has gained international recognition, Thai cuisine is actually broken down by the region from which it originated. Each of Thailand’s different regions has developed its own style of dishes that are quite different from those of other regions. It is quite unfair to end your Thailand visit without a taste of all regions cuisines.
