Thai cuisineBangkok's restaurants and street food markets are attractions as exciting as Buddhist temples and monuments. The reason is simple: food has a special place in Thai life. Instead of the same greeting in all languages, “Hello! How are you?" Thais usually say: “Hello! Have you eaten?" This little linguistic subtlety helps explain an important cultural identity in Thailand: they really love to eat here, and any meal, even drinking coconut milk from a nut, is considered an event of the utmost importance. The country's cuisine from north to south has a myriad of different culinary traditions, and Bangkok is the best place to fully appreciate the richness of Thai flavors.
