Popular Cities in Thailand
Traditional Sweet Dishes
Mango sticky rice
Mango sticky rice pairs creamy coconut-glazed glutinous rice with sun-ripened mango, and vendors time it to coincide with Thailand's short mango season so the dessert is a herald of summer.
Khanom chan
Khanom chan is a fragrant, steamed layered dessert traditionally made with nine layers because the number nine sounds like a word for progress in Thai and is considered auspicious at weddings and ceremonies.
Thong yip
Thong yip, whose name means 'pinched gold', traces its origins to Portuguese egg-yolk sweets and is served at celebrations to symbolize wishes for wealth and good fortune.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Pad Thai
Pad Thai was promoted as a national dish in the mid 20th century, and its signature smoky flavor comes from high-heat stir-frying as vendors toss noodles in a hot wok.
Tom Yum Goong
Tom Yum Goong owes its punchy sour and spicy flavor to fresh aromatics like lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves and galangal, and the soup's name literally means 'boiled shrimp'.
Green Curry
Green curry gets its vivid color from fresh green chilies and herbs, and the paste is pounded with coconut, giving the curry a creamy heat that balances spicy, sweet and savory flavors.
Traditional Beverages
Thai iced tea
Thai iced tea is brewed strong with black tea and warm spices, then sweetened with condensed milk so the drink becomes rich and creamy and turns a signature amber color when poured over ice.
Cha yen (sweet iced tea)
Cha yen simply means 'cold tea' in Thai, and street vendors often serve it over crushed ice so the sweet, milky tea becomes a cooling companion to spicy dishes.
Nam manao (lime juice)
Nam manao, Thailand's tart lime juice drink, is the go-to refreshment for cooling down in the heat and its bright acidity helps cut through the richness of spicy Thai food.

De tempels zijn prachtig, maar velen voelden overrompeld en commercieel. Ik zocht rust en vond voortdurend opdringerige verkopers en souvenirkramen.

Streetfood is geweldig, wees kies bij kraampjes die te toeristisch lijken. Heb de meeste dagen goedkoop gegeten en voelde me altijd veilig.

Budgetvriendelijk als je toeristenvallen vermijdt, binnenlandse bussen en straateten houden de kosten laag, resorts jagen de prijzen flink omhoog.
Translated from English ·
Boek nachttreinen met slaapwagen voor lange trajecten om een overnachting te besparen, en reserveer vroeg een benedenplaats in het hoogseizoen.
Translated from English ·
Warm en vochtig bijna elke dag, pak licht in en blijf gehydrateerd. Eilandhoppen was heerlijk maar de reisdagen zijn lang.
