Remember being at a Thai restaurant here in the UK. A first date was in progress at the table adjacent. The lady said she wasn't very keen on heat or spice and her companion told her he thought the Papaya salad would be a safe option, which was duly ordered... Bet they never had a second date!

@pattrawanputla45833 ай бұрын
I think it's because many of Thailand's neighboring countries often run Thai restaurants instead of running their own nation's cuisine due to the well-known and popular Thai food but lack of authentic know-how and recipes to cook. So, kindly double check whether the restaurant owner is Thai or the head chef is Thai; otherwise, you will get Asian fusion food or Thai-inspired food instead.

Thailand is a foodie heaven my only complaint is globalization. I love Southeast Asian countries because of that feel of being somewhere foreign. Thailand is too westernized for my tastes, I tried my best to only eat at Thai restaurants to keep with my tradition of eating only local food like I did in Vietnam Cambodia and Laos, but I still found myself eating every other day at a KFC or McDonalds, I cant help it its in front of me and easy. But with that said Thai food especially seafood is cheap, if you used to going to seafood spots in the states and spending 20 to 30 on a seafood plate, in Thailand you can get some grilled shrimp fish rice and a few beers for less than 10 dollars. Freaking amazing.

classic thai dishes has been knowing for hundred years as for the food combination of it . each ingredient match and pair to each other very well. if u consume for the first time u don not slurp so fast or too hard as the hotness and spices will go into your throat, just eat slowly to make your mouth and tonge get adapt to the intensities. an for somtum papaya salad enthusiast need to eat right after they serve , if let to stay too long the taste would be stale and not pungeant
