Thailand is a renowned backpacker’s paradise, offering glorious beaches stretching on as far as the eye can see, some of the world’s most beautiful natural scenery and of course those infamous full-moon parties. But this Asian nation has far more to offer than cheap getaways for gap year travellers, with a vibrant food scene that will tantalise the taste buds of any foodie. And there’s far more to Thai cuisine than the usual green curry. You won’t want to leave without sampling this delectable selection!
Tom Yam
Often known as ’sour Thai soup' on British menus, this broth heavily features herbs and its tart taste is unmistakably Thai. The shrimp version – tom yam kung – is the Thai favourite, and it’s not hard to see why once you stick your teeth into that flavoursome seafood.
