Popular Thai dishes to try out
Tom Yum Goong: You can’t visit Thailand and not try out this authentic and popular dish! The dish is basically a spicy seafood soup. It is so iconic that the country has asked the UN to notify the dish as part of its Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity program, according to The Nation.
Pad Thai: Thailand’s national dish, Pad Thai is basically just stir-fried noodles combined with chicken, pork, or seafood, and a mix of spices and herbs. The dish can be a mix of sweet, savory, and sour flavors. According to the Smithsonian Magazine, the dish is a blend of Thai and Chinese culinary traditions. I’d definitely try it out if I were ever in Thailand!
