Like in any other countries, food is considered as an essential part of the culture of Thailand. As a matter of fact, reams of written materials have been published about the cuisine of Thailand all over the world, and for a very good reason—it’s outrageously delicious! Not to mention, culinary tourism in their country is all the rage. Why? Simply because Thai foods are widely known not just being fresh, healthy, and numbingly spicy, but for its careful balance and combination of a variety of flavors—sour, salty, sweet and bitter.
