Thailand’s Top Dishes

If you’re looking for exotic shores, they don’t come much better than Thailand. As well as the beautiful beaches, supremely friendly natives and amazing islands, the one thing that Thailand is famous for is its food.

If you are lucky enough to be heading to Thailand, keep an eye out for some of their most popular (and tasty!) dishes and make sure you try them out…

Tom Yam Kung

Thailand has some great soups and broths and this is one of the most popular. Fiery, spicy shrimp are the heart of this dish but the flavours are delicate and balanced. A must try!

Green Chicken Curry

You can’t visit Thailand and not try a green curry and taste it the way it should be cooked. Beautiful, simple and tasty, not to mention filling, this is something you’ll find all over Thailand.

Phad Thai

Fried noodles with assorted vegetables, egg, meat or seafood – this is a Khao San Road favourite and you can pick it up everywhere; from street stalls to fancy restaurants so you have no excuse for not trying it. You can choose what you want in it and it’s so tasty, I guarantee you will try it more than once.

Tom Kha Kai

Coconut and chicken are Thai staples and this is another massively popular soup that you’d be foolish to miss. The calming coconut doesn’t mean it’s boring though and this is one of the most flavoursome dishes that the Thai people have perfected over generations.

Yam Nua

You might not think of salads when you think of Thailand, but you should. This refreshing, tasty salad will make you feel very smug for choosing the healthy option. A delicate blend of spicy beef, chilli, coriander, ginger, garlic, onion and the sweet saltiness of soy and fish sauce really make this one a winner!

These are just a few of the amazingly tasty options available – if you really want to know what to try though, make sure you ask a local or your waiter at a local restaurant for recommendations.
