Eating in Thailand is an essential part of the national lifestyle. Thai dishes range from the very sweet, to sweet and sour, to spicy, to very spicy. If you are not used to spicy food, the best policy is to try everything, but always ask if the dish is spicy. If a Thai says it is, try a very small amount or avoid eating it until your taste buds have adjusted. Another choice is to ask for “mai-ped”, which means “not spicy”.
Almost all Thai food is with a wide variety of fresh ingredients, including vegetables, poultry, pork, seafood, and some beef. Predominant flavors are lime juice, lemongrass, salty fish sauce, garlic (lots of it!) and coriander, and of course, chilies of various degrees. If you like vegetarian food you will find some very satisfactory dishes in Thai and Indian cuisine. There is also a number of vegetarian restaurants and Halal restaurants around. Popular local drinks are watermelon juice, orange juice, and coconut water.
