Good food
is everywhere in Thailand. You can experience the enchantment of Thai food at every kind of eating place, from the ad hoc hawker's stall to the lavishly appointment hotel restaurant. The real excitement comes as you discover that each region of the country has its own type of food, cooking methods, ingredients, and eating-places. Along with other marvelous aspects of its national culture, Thai cuisine is an embodiment of the country's long history: the events that look place, and, most crucially, the people who made them happen.It has long been a tradition for Thais to invite their guests to join them for meals. On such an occasion, a refusal is considered a gesture of disrespect for the host's generosity. This is not only because Thais feel obliged to look after the well being of visitors, but also because, deep inside, they are proud of their sumptuous cuisine and want to share its fascination with their guests.
