THAI FOOD

• Isaan (North Eastern) Food
• Bangkok (Central) Food
• Southern Thai Food

The northeastern region, also commonly known as Isaan, is the least visited region of the country. It is often hard to make the trip to this area, and it is more remote and caters less to tourists than its counterparts. That being said, Isaan food is incredibly unique, with dishes that are oftentimes not found or made elsewhere.

Central Thai cuisine is the most unique. This region is lucky in that it can pull from all of its surrounding geographic regions. Specialities from both the north and the south of Thailand are often utilized in central Thai cuisine, allowing vendors and cooks to tweak dishes as they please as many of the same ingredients are readily available. The flavors here are usually a bit milder in comparison to other regions.

As we head south of Bangkok, the food changes almost as drastically as the landscaping. From rural northern Thailand to the busy city of Bangkok, we have finally made our way to the south of Thailand. This region may be famous for its beaches, but the food here is certainly just as noteworthy. This region’s cuisine is oftentimes overlooked when compared to the seemingly strange dishes in the north; however, the southern region’s spicy curries, soups, and salads certainly give its northern neighbor a run for its money.
