Thailand entices travellers with a smile as golden as the nation's sparkling temples and tropical beaches. The country is hospitable and food-obsessed, hedonistic and historic, cultured and inquisitive.

Popular all over the world, Thai food embodies the core qualities of Thai culture: it is giving, warm, reviving, and laid-back. Thai cuisine makes use of flavourful native ingredients including plump fish, scorching chillies, and lemongrass. The four basic flavours of spicy, sweet, salt , and sour provide the foundation of a diverse national food. Traveling stomachs take food tours of Burmese market stalls in Mae Sot, seafood pavilions in Phuket, and noodle stands in Bangkok. Learning to cook reveals the simplicity of recipes that appear to be complex, and market knowledge is a crucial survival skill.

Don't forget to include these locations in your trip itinerary when you visit Thailand. Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Khao Sok National Park, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya City, and Bangkok city are among the places to visit.
