Thailand’s agricultural exports are highly successful internationally. The most important crop is, of course, rice. Whilst Thais tend to eat rice along with almost everything (and everyday), the food is different in every region. Local Southern food, for instance, is spicier than central Thai food. Here’s some dishes we recommend you try (just don’t forget to say the magic word “mai ped”, which means “not spicy”.)

Gaeng Leung (Yellow Curry) – you might be familiar with green or red curries. However, yellow curry is a signature southern dish. The secret lies in turmeric using in the curries. You can expect a variety of fish yellow curry to papaya yellow curry!
