| Prik kinoo! The famous Thai chili, hotter than hot, but we eat a lot of it.
There are many different kinds of chili, all different in color and size.
Be careful when you eat Thai food, don't try to chew even the smallest chilies! |
Somnau or manau? Oranges or limes? They might look the same in a photo as most Thai oranges are very small and green. But these are limes, important when cooking Thai food. |
Plaa. These fish are caught in the Andaman Sea, just off the coast of Phuket Island. Red snapper, in front, is very popular, often served barbecued with garlic and fresh vegetables. |

| Kluang kaeng. If you ever tasted Thai food, you might wonder what we use to make the taste so good? In fact, most of the dish contain some kind of curry. We have for example red, green, yellow and black curry paste. |
Poo dtjacka-dtjan. As we live near the sea, we eat a lot of fresh food from the sea. Crab, squid, lobster, fish, mussels, shrimp and of course oyster. |
Gai. Chicken, chicken, chicken! How many chickens are brought to the dinner tables here every day? One of the most famous dishes is the creamy chicken soup, Tom Kha Gai, flavoured with coconut milk, vegetables, curry paste and kha (galangal). |

| Fuck tong. The Thai people are very healthy, and that is because they eat a lot of vegetables and fruit, for example pumpkin. If you eat genuine Thai food you are often served a plate of fresh vegetables to go with your rice or noodles. |
Mun farang. The prices and the quality might differ between the vendors, so don't just rush to the first vendor and do your purchases. Here is a Thai boy buying some potatoes. |
Durian. Is this Thailand's national fruit? It's very difficult to grow, and must be harvested at exactly the right time, otherwise it doesn't taste good. The smell is very "different" so many people (even Thais) don't eat it because of that. But don't hesitate to taste it, you might find it as delicious as I do! |
