And for the first, second, or both, Thailand has invited the beaches to offer, such as Phuket and Ko Lipe, with its four most impressive, Pattaya, Dawn, Chao Ley, and karma. However, as the 17 in the world in terms of population with HIV / AIDS, travelers a sense of caution and a lot of protection. Bangkok has so long provided the best introduction to the traveler with a boat trip on the Chao Phraya, the bloodline ofthe city, where the opulence of the temple complex, but the deal does not admire very much intact.
But the city of angels for the time of these celestial beings with the political chaos that afflicts the big city of Bangkok were evacuated. It would have been, how secure and confident, because most of that peace can not be far off target, BKK is also a haven for incredible shopping, said counterfeiting, both in modern JJ Market (Chatuchak), MBK, or AMPUThe tradition's sake. Why not show some 'bizarre Patpong ping pong table for the different types of visitors? Muay Thai is also a major tourist attraction for travelers who can play either the audience or students.
Although nothing beats Chiang Mai in the field of culture and temples with about 300 Wats stretched across the city, Kanchanaburi Friends of Nature is the door and nowhere can consider water to have fun here. Erawan, Thad Pha, Huai Khamin Saiyoke and waterfalls are definitely worth a wholeDay visit, no doubt a different experience each time. The best way to explore is to travel, which was not yet revealed a unique adventure to Thailand, not forgetting of course the opportunity to spend time with the locals, who in more than one ... are the main attraction, and then there's the food.
FOOD
You can not enjoy a visit to the maximum in the Kingdom does not know the food culture. Thai food is suitable for powering a king. Thai food is just moreReason enough for a holiday in these parts. Let me tell you, that a fusion of Thai food festival Indian, Chinese, cambodian, and all Asian and well, and it all starts in the streets. Rice is a staple food in many forms and is sprinkled with rice noodles and sticky rice with mango dessert. Khao Suai is the generic term for white rice is usually consumed with meals, while the Khao Phat is a basic fried rice with chicken or pork mixed food culture is an integral part of the StreetThai identity as a group of people with a natural inclination, catering, cooking and eating well. The roads can be a culinary and cultural crossroads, where people have their house, prepared meals to the rest of the world, offering a very low cost. Here, the Thais do not mind a modest profit at the end of the day is to cook what I like to do. A modern Thai would eat 9 times a day from THB 25 Phad Thai from the street or a $ 100 10-course, everything that goesPut something to eat or almost edible in the oral cavity.
Thai food is strong in the world for its unique taste to believe that everyone can enjoy from anywhere, and that can never truly be represented by the national court to Phad Thai. This healthy pasta dish with a great combination of salty sweet, sour, spicy, and is the epitome of Thai cuisine, because it is light, healthy, balanced, spicy, flavorful and aromatic. Tom Yam and Tom Kha Gai soup dishes are popular during somtam (papaya salad), sticky rice, and Kai Yang (BBQ chicken) are a favorite food combo. Indian culinary influence is very strong, especially with curry dishes, such as food green curry, Thai, even if its distinctive quality is now more than ever to get the pandan chicken, for example. Pandan leaf is a spicy, sweet like Thai Spice, such as vanilla does, but more versatile as it is also a wonderful taste of meat, in this case, as the chicken is cooked wrapped in theseLeaves. Chiang Mai, the ancient capital, is the embarrassment foodie wonderland of Thai cuisine and international fish and chips English to Italian pizza and pasta.
Thais love the things that are nice and all cakes, especially desserts, but the concept of dessert, such as Thailand non-Western model post-meal dessert. Since it is generally Asia, can eat a dessert snack snack of a concern in itself. As can be consumed after a meal in western style, this is more than for preferred stockcustomary. Dessert as Khanom (cookies or snacks), but-Muang Khao nio (sticky rice with mango and coconut drizzle) or yen Waan, a bit 'of crushed ice on a bed of "topping", such as corn and beans flavored with syrup and coconut milk are the desserts, which are mostly consumed as a snack or fill-top. Yes, snack on bugs and cockroaches, which is without doubt an acquired taste.
