Thai cuisine is a very popular cuisine known worldwide. Apparently influenced by Chinese and Indian cooking, Thai cuisine is a mixture of the best and the most delicious dishes. People from Thailand have a certain unique way of presenting their dishes with beautiful food arrangements. Thai foods are great not only for their taste but also their attractive looks.

Most of the Thai dishes taste salty, sweet, and a little spicy. But even so, the spiciness of the food is just smooth, wherein people wouldn't have difficulty trying it. Thais use a variety of spices for their cooking which made their cuisine famous. Cooking schools consider Thai cuisine as one of their major dishes, and it consists of a large amount of seafood and vegetables.

One of them being Pad Thai. Pad Thai is a wonderful Thai dish, it has all of those wonderful Thai flavors but is something different from all the soup and curry dishes. When I have ordered any Pad Thai recipe I often think I bet I can’t do it this good in my kitchen. By buying the best ingredients for your dish you will release beautiful flavors in your cooking.

The grеаt thing about Pad Thai recipe is you саn select уоur оwn main ingredients; tiger prawns or chicken аrе mоѕt popular but it also works well with strips of beef or just delicious veggies also work wonderfully. When visiting Thailand the Pad Thai recipe is known on every street corner and don’t be surprised if you see it on nearly every street corner in Bangkok, where street food is so varied, you won’t be able to resist; it is cheap and tasty.

More also, one of Thailand's best-known places that every backpacker and tourist should visit is the Khao San Road. Khao San road offers almost everything to budget and solo travelers. It is a small road located in Bangkok's metropolitan area and considered as the backpacker's center in the city.

Although Khao San Road is admittedly more crowded today, it still gives a lot of reasons for visitors to keep coming, from cheap accommodation to exotic foods. And if you have just touched down in Bangkok, here are some suggestions on what to do in Khao San Road.

Fried or roasted insects and scorpions are also popular, readily available, and inexpensive. Poisonous scorpions are grilled and sold in Khao San Road. Tourist loves Thai food and every year, travelers choose Bangkok, Thailand as their favorite holiday destination.

All-in-all, if you are planning to spend a holiday in Thailand and you would like a primer on the local culture to shield yourself from culture shock, the first thing уоu ѕhоuld kеер in mind that Thailand is highly multicultural: Chinese-Thai make up a large percentage of the total population, as do Indian-Thai.

While thе rеlіgіоn оf thе majority of the Kingdom of Siam is firmly Buddhism with nearly 95% of thе рорulаtіоn being Buddhists, there is more than a noticeable Islamic presence: about 4.6% of thе соuntrу'ѕ рорulаtіоn is Muslims, the majority of which is concentrated in the southern region of Thailand.

Thai cuisine, culture and the people’s friendly nature has made tourist vacationing in Bangkok, Thailand more comfortable.
