In a metropolitan city like Bangkok, you don’t have wonder where to find something good and traditional to eat. There are food carts at almost every street corner, at pavement eateries with fold-up tables and chairs, and in the smallest of streets, where you can eat just the “Thai way” of eating. One major reason for this food cart fashion in Thailand is that people are very very busy to stand at stare at things in a country where the world comes to enjoy nature at its best. Thai people are very hard working and the little time they have to eat, they eat something worth it. In Thailand, the mouth watering scent of food is unavoidable in the sprawling metropolis, when you are walking around to see the temples, palaces, museums or festivals.

There is a world more to Thai food than the green, red and yellow curries that are served up at ‘Westernized’ Thai restaurants back home. For the most part though, the food is delicious, exotic, and prepared with a wonderful array of fresh herbs and spices like lemongrass, sweet basil, ginger, garlic and, of course, chili. Lots of it. Some dishes are so spiced up it will have you gasping for air, make the world around you spin and leave you with tears running down your cheeks. So be aware and keep a spring water bottle or a sweet with you before eating some thing new in the Menu. With some of the hot smelling cuisines, that you may have tasted at home, you will imagine that your tongue is on fire; its because the westernized food we eat here is altered according to our requirements but the real Thai Food is ummmmm… You will also find many dishes and snacks that will be more than kind to your taste buds, while restaurants generally go easy on the chili when preparing food for foreigners.
