This goes beyond simply combining the flavors within an individual dish to incorporate the contrast in flavors between two or three different dishes, which is one reason Thai’s share meals and eat family style. </p> <p>One distinctive aspect of Thai food is the use of fresh herbs and spices as well as the inclusion of fermented fish sauce in nearly every dish –a potential problem for vegetarians, though saying “jay” to indicate you are vegetarian goes a long way. </p> <p>However, there are certainly regional variations in what is typically considered Thai food; these are due to the influences of neighboring countries, such as China, Laos, Burma, and Malaysia. While some Thai restaurants specialize in specific dishes, most have a huge menu of Thai and western fare and prepare Thai food from throughout the kingdom. </p> <p> </p> <p><span class="subjectin-green2">Rice</span> </p> <p>Rice is the staple food for Thais, eaten with most meals, from breakfast to dessert. In fact, in Thai language, if you say you are hungry or you want to eat you literally say “I want to eat rice.” Its should be unsurprising to learn then that Thailand is the world’s largest exporter of rice and that Thai rice includes more than one strain, each of which has its own characteristic and flavor. </p> <p>The most esteemed Thai rice is Jasmine Rice, sweet-smelling long-grain rice that is indigenous to Thailand. Served steamed, jasmine rice is the finest rice to accompany most dishes, including Thai curries. </p> <p>While Jasmine rice is the most coveted, it is also the most expensive. Consequently, most restaurants serve Khao Suoy, “beautiful rice”, a plain white variety that grows in abundance and is consumed with all style of entrée. </p> <p>Khao pad or “fried rice” is made with fried with pork or chicken, chilies and fish sauce, typically with leftover Khao Suoy, so as not to waste leftover rice that is a bit “stale”. </p> <p>Khao Tom is a popular breakfast dish, a salty porridge-like soup that is cooked with pork and garlic. </p> <p>Khao Niaw, “sticky rice” is eaten by hand when served with dishes of northeastern influence, such as grilled chicken (gai yang) and spicy papaya salad (som tam); however, sticky rice is a crucial ingredient in a favorite Thai dessert, sticky rice and mango. </p> <p> </p> <p><span class="subjectin-green2">Mains</span> </p> <p>While noodle dishes are quite common in Thailand (an influence brought by Chinese migrants) most Thai dishes are stir fried or grilled and served with rice. Fish (blah), pork (moo), beef (neua), and chicken (gai) are all prepared in a variety of ways, though typically cut into bite sized pieces and stir fried with various spices, such as garlic, chili, and/or basil. Fish and chicken are frequently grilled or fried, fish typically cooked and served whole. </p> <p> </p> <p><span class="subjectin-green2">Thai Curry and Soup</span> </p> <p>As Thai meals are typically served family style, with all diners sharing entrees, a Thai curry or soup is usually ordered with a meal. The consistency of each Thai curry varies widely, with some curries arguably classifiable as soups. However, most Thai curries are coconut milk-based and some are spicier than others. Gaeng Massaman, is a mild, peanut and potato curry; Gaeng Kiaw Wan (Thai green curry) is a curry of medium thickness and spiciness, while Gaeng Daeng (red curry), otherwise known as Gaeng Pet (spicy curry), is a thinner, obviously spicier option. Tom Kha, a mild coconut soup, blurs the lines between soup and curry, while Tom Yam Kung, a quintessential Thai soup, is often blisteringly hot. </p> <p>While Thai curries are shared and meant to be ladled over rice, soups are served communally with diners receiving small bowls to eat out of. Although some curries and soups can be served without meat for vegetarians, many Thai cooks put fish sauce in all dishes as it’s the Thai substitute for salt. </p> <p> </p> <p><span class="subjectin-green2">Thai Noodles</span> </p> <p>Unlike typical Thai dishes, which are served for communal consumption, most Thai noodle dishes are served as individual dishes. While some restaurants will serve Thai noodle dishes, particularly Pad Thai noodles, noodles are more frequently served and eaten at street stalls that specialize in Thai noodle dishes. Thai noodles come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, including “small” (sen lek), “large” (sen yai), angel hair (sen mee), and x-large (gway tiow). Most Thai noodles are made of rice, though egg noodles (ba mee) and mungbean based glass noodles are also common. </p> <p>Other than pad Thai noodles, rad naa and gway tiow are stir fried noodles served with beef, chicken, or pork; condiments, including dried chilies, fish sauce, vinegar, and sugar, are available to tailor to individual diner’s taste. </p> <p>Otherwise, Thai noodles are normally served in soup, either with spicy red pork (moo daeng), chicken (on the bone), and occasionally coagulated pigs blood. Unlike most Thai dishes, which are eaten with fork and spoon, Thai noodles are typically eaten with chopsticks and spoon, a reflection of the Chinese origin of the cuisine. </p> <p> </p> <p><span class="subjectin-green2">Thai Desserts</span> </p> <p>You couldn’t tell by looking at slim waste lines of many Thais, but Thai people love to eat dessert. This includes both traditional Thai desserts as well as western fare, including cakes and ice cream. Traditional Thai desserts are quite sweet, made predominately from various combinations of rice, coconut milk, and sugar, along with a few seemingly less common dessert ingredients, such as sweet corn or kidney beans. Some egg based Thai desserts trace their history back to the influence of Portuguese missionaries (who also introduced the chili!) While these desserts are not prominently featured on menus in Thai restaurants and infrequently ordered at the conclusion of a meal, they are occasionally served complimentarily or can be found sold at street stalls that specialize in particular desserts. </p> <p>Fruit is also a common Thai dessert and is usually served plain and sliced, though Mango with sticky rice, covered in sweet coconut milk is a popular dessert when Mangos are in season. </p> <p> </p> <p><span class="subjectin-green2">Thai Salad or Yam</span> </p> <p>A Thai salad is often one of the spiciest Thai dishes and is frequently ordered as one of the many communal dishes in a meal. A Thai salad is generally made of raw vegetables mixed with chili, lime, and fish sauce, though some, such as Yam Neua (Thai beef salad) contain meat. </p> <p>The most internationally recognized Thai salad, Som Tam is technically a dish of Lao origin, and is most popular in Northeastern Thailand, where it is prepared in a manner that would wreak havoc on the stomach of an unsuspecting visitor unaccustomed to real spicy Thai food. Som Tam consists primarily of shredded papaya and is often served with grilled chicken (gai yang). </p> <p>Yam som-o, is a more mild salad that is based on the pommels, a fruit similar to, but less sour than, a grapefruit. Yam som-o is usually served with shredded chicken. </p> <p>Other salads include Yam Neua, a Thai beef salad served with tomato and onion, and Yam Wonsan, a glass noodle and shrimp salad. </p> <p> </p> <p>Technically Thai meals don’t include appetizers per se; all dishes are ordered at once and come out in random order for diners to share as they arrive. However, there are certainly finger-food style dishes that can be categorized as appetizer style foods. Satay (grilled meat on a stick) and spring rolls are the most common of these, the former available on many street corners and technically classified in Thai cuisine as a snack rather than an appetizer. </p> <p> </p> <p><span class="subjectin-green2">Source or Paste</span> </p> <p>Thai chili paste, or nam prik, is the base of many Thai dishes, though variations of it are also served as dips. Thai Chili pastes are made by muddling chili, garlic, shrimp paste, lime, and other spices (depending on region of origin). As a dip, it is served along with raw vegetables and occasionally pork rinds. </p> <p> </p> <p><span class="subjectin-green2">Thai fruit</span> </p> <p>Thailand is undoubtedly a nation of fruits; fruit vendors sell dozens of different chilled fruits on street corners throughout the kingdom, selling sliced ponelamai (fruit) for as little as 10 baht per serving. Thai fruits include the familiar: banana, pineapple, watermelon, and papaya, as well as the exotic: dragon fruit, chompu, durian, and jackfruit. </p> <p>Dragon fruit is a large, odd looking fruit, with pink spiky skin, though beneath the extravagant exterior is a tender white meat akin to a mellow, juicy kiwi fruit. Chompu is a refreshing pear-shaped fruit that tastes something like a watery apple. The pungent smelling durian and its mellower cousin the jack fruit require an acquired palate, their flavors and textures revered by some and reviled by others; in fact so strong is the smell of the durian that it’s not infrequent to see “no durian” signs inside many buildings! </p> <p>Mangos are served both ripe and juicy and unripe and excruciatingly tart, a taste that Thai’s typically balance by dipping in a mixture of sugar and chili. </p> <p>There are literally dozens of other exotic Thai fruits, available seasonally, and always reasonably priced. Buy a bunch and share with friends; they make economical and healthy snacks. </p> <p> </p> <p><span class="subjectin-green2">Thai Beer & beverages</span> </p> <p>While tap water is not generally recommended for consumption, ice is generally safe in Thailand and bottled water is ubiquitous and cheap. If you are concerned, you can always stick with Thai beer, its nearly as cheap and the high alcohol content of Thai beer ensures that any germs aren’t likely to survive; Singha (pronounced “Sing”) and Chang (which means elephant) are the two most popular. </p> <p>Fruit smoothies and fruit juice are both very popular: smoothies made with fresh fruit and sugar syrup are blended with ice that is generally safe to consume. Coconut milk is another safe option as the coconut is simply cracked open from the top and served whole with a straw. </p> <p>Thai ice tea is served with condensed milk, which gives it a pinkish orange color and sweet flavor. Thai ice coffee (oliang) is a strong black pick me up far superior to the Nescafe that is so often served as “coffee” in many restaurants. Otherwise, there are many Starbucks throughout the Kingdom, particularly in Bangkok, if you really need a quick coffee fix. </p> <p>Finally, red bull energy drink was invented in Thailand and can be procured at 7-11 and mom and pop minimarts for 10 baht. There are other local brands, but taste and potency vary widely. </p> <p> </p> <p><span class="subjectin-green2">Thai Gourmet Specialties</span> </p> <p>While “Thai food” has gained international recognition, Thai cuisine can actually be broken down by the region from which it originated. Each of Thailand’s different regions has developed its own style and is responsible for dishes that are quite different from those of other regions. Thai food from Issarn, in the northeast of Thailand, shares many similarities with cuisine from neighboring Laos, though the Thai versions of the dishes, such as Som Tam, are a lot heavier on the chili. Southern curries on the other hand, are less spicy, with a greater Malaysian influence, and feature more coconut and turmeric. And while Thai people love fish, whether from the river or the sea, Thailand’s beaches are the prime destinations to sample the best Thai seafood dishes.<br /></p><p><br /></p>computerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02218646632172311864noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5485432770492825881.post-3936755216572686242010-11-11T19:58:00.000-08:002010-11-11T19:59:49.581-08:00Detail Thailand Airports<p>Thailand has a number of airports that service both domestic and international air traffic, as well as many more that only serve domestic flights. Domestic carriers, such as Thai Airways, and international carriers, including AirAsia, fly numerous domestic and international routes into and out of various Thai airports. Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is the premier Thailand airport and serves as a hub for international transit passengers as well as a gateway to various Thai destinations. Phuket (HKT), Chiang Mai (CNX), Hat Yai (HDY), and Koh Samui (USM) are the other primary airports for international air travel into and out of Thailand. For domestic flights to travel to smaller provincial capitals one must generally fly out of Bangkok or one of the other international airports listed above. </p> <p> </p><div class="b-purple"><h2>International Airports:</h2></div><p>Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) serves as the primary international airport in Thailand for numerous international airlines, most with direct flights from abroad landing in the Thai capital.

Having the flexibility to spontaneously follow your desires, or the advice of someone you met along the way, sits well with our relaxed pace of life. </p> <p>The scenery changes at almost every turn, as our well-formed roads follow the contours of the landscapes. Outside of the cities, most highways have just one lane in each direction, occasionally expanding to two lanes to enable safe overtaking. Driving times are often longer than you’d expect.

Whether your Thailand travel preference is air, rail, bus, road, or water, most modes of Thailand transportation are use to catering to foreign visitors and have frequent departures. Consequently it’s easy to move about the country or explore sights around particular destinations. The inland cities and coastal resorts are well connected to each other, so when you travel in Thailand you can spend a few days in Bangkok, a few more at the beach, and still visit Chiang Mai or Ayutthaya alternatively traveling via bus, boat, train, or plane to get from A to B to C.<br /><br />Bookings and reservations for travel in Thailand should be done in advance as even in the “low season” many Thai people holiday in their own country and transportation is often booked well in advance. Nonetheless, when you travel in Thailand, there are always options for travelers, even at the last minute, particularly as departures of busses, planes, and trains are very frequent. When you travel in Thailand you can select from many domestic air carriers that service a majority of Thailand’s large provincial cities; local trains that connect Bangkok to all regions of the country; and long distance coaches that connect all major cities.<br /><br /></p><span class="subjectin-purple">Transportation Options</span><table class="content-purple"><tbody><tr><td

In modern days, Krathongs are often made of specially baked bread, so the Krathongs are biodegradable, although many use styrofoam.<br />Many Thais believe that celebrating Loy Krathong by offering a krathong to the Water Goddess, Phra Mae Khongkha, will bring them good luck, particularly for couples, who will go to launch Krathongs together: a particularly auspicious event if the couple crafts their own krathong, although it is more common in modern days to simply buy krathongs from vendors near the water.<br />During the night of the full moon, many people will light their candles and incense and celebrate Loy Krathong by releasing their floating offering on a river or other body of water. Governmental offices, corporations, and other large groups will collaborate on larger, more elaborate rafts, which are often judged in contests. Loy Krathong celebrations also typically feature fireworks displays and beauty contests.<br />These beauty contests are known as Noppamas Queen Contests, named after Noppamas, a consort of the King of Sukothai in the 14th century, who is thought to be the first to float decorated krathongs.<br />Consequently, the tradition of Loy Kratong is believed to have begun in Sukhothai, although it is now celebrated throughout Thailand, with the festivities in Chiang Mai and Ayutthaya the most popular.<br />In Chiang Mai the Loy Krathong holiday is called Yi Peng. In addition to the krathongs floated in the waters around Chiang Mai, thousands of Lanna-style sky lanterns (khom fai) are released into the sky, part of the lantern oriented Lanna belief in their symbolically auspicious flames.<br /> <p><span class="side-pink"><strong>Category:</strong></span> Art and Culture, Fairs & Festivals</p> </div>computerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02218646632172311864noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5485432770492825881.post-84467819929412490142010-11-10T17:59:00.000-08:002010-11-10T18:00:47.962-08:00Sukhothai Loi Krathong and Candle Festival 2010<h1>Sukhothai Loi Krathong and Candle Festival 2010</h1> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr> <td width="203"><div align="left"><span class="datetime"> <strong>November 19, 2010 - November 21, 2010</strong><br />(12.00 - 12.00)</span></div></td> <td><div align="left"><a href="http://www.tourismthailand.org/see-do/events-festivals/info-page/cat/3/event/237/#" onclick="addTripPlanner(jQuery(this),18 , 237);return false;"><img src="http://www.tourismthailand.org/fileadmin/templates/images/add_tp.gif" width="149" border="0" height="25" /></a></div></td> </tr> </tbody></table><br /><div style="margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; width: 100%;"> <span style="float: left;"> <table width="40%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr> <td width="193" valign="top"><img src="http://www.tourismthailand.org/fileadmin/thumbnail/9/320a8656b7782085adf30334f854712_129_193_1288596590.jpg" id="event_img" width="193" height="129" /><br /><br /><table id="event_contact_details" width="40%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr> <td colspan="2" bgcolor="#505153"><img src="http://www.tourismthailand.org/fileadmin/templates/images/contact-detailed.gif" width="193" height="35" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" bgcolor="#505153"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr> <td class="white"><div class="box-content"><p>-</p></div></td> </tr> </tbody></table></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="34" bgcolor="#505153"><img src="http://www.tourismthailand.org/fileadmin/templates/images/c-01.gif" width="30" height="23" /></td> <td class="white" width="159" bgcolor="#505153">- -<br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="34" bgcolor="#505153"><img src="http://www.tourismthailand.org/fileadmin/templates/images/c-02.gif" width="30" height="23" /></td> <td class="white" bgcolor="#505153">+66 5561 6228-9</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="34" bgcolor="#505153"><img src="http://www.tourismthailand.org/fileadmin/templates/images/c-04.gif" width="30" height="23" /></td> <td class="white" bgcolor="#505153"><a href="http://www.tourismthailand.org/see-do/events-festivals/info-page/cat/3/event/237/#event_contact">Send Inquiry</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="34" bgcolor="#505153"><img src="http://www.tourismthailand.org/fileadmin/templates/images/c-05.gif" width="30" height="23" /></td> <td class="white" bgcolor="#505153"><a href="http://www.loikrathong.net/" target="_blank">Visit Website</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#505153"> </td> <td class="white" bgcolor="#505153"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#ffffff"> </td> <td class="white" bgcolor="#ffffff"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="23"><br /><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr><td> </td> <td><p><strong>Suitable for: </strong>Single traveler, Family, Group , First time travelers, Adults, Youth</p><br /></td> </tr> <!--###wheel_chair### end--> <tr><td> </td> <td><p> </p><br /></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td><p><strong>Scale: </strong>Local</p><br /></td> </tr> </tbody></table></td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> <td width="10" valign="top"> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </span> <!-- Comment by Somkid 08-05-53 <div align="left" id="event_detail"><span class="excerpt"> </span> </p> --> <img src="http://www.tourismthailand.org/fileadmin/templates/images/event-details.gif" width="114" height="18" /><br /><br /><p>Although the holiday of Loy Krathong is now celebrated throughout the kingdom, Loy Krathong originated in Sukhothai, the first Thai capital. While particularly popular with couples who head down to any nearby body of water to light the candles and incense on their floating Krathongs, visitors can best appreciate Loy Krathong by heading to the ancient capital of Sukhothai, where the holiday was first celebrated.<br />Highlights of the Sukhothai Loy Krathong celebration include displays of lighted candles and fireworks, folk dancing and a spectacular light & sound presentation.<br />At the Sukhothai Loy Krathong festival, visitors will be dazzled by the float procession of large krathong from 17 Northern provinces. The procession will consist of krathongs from government agencies, state enterprises, private sectors, and the general public. There are also a Krathong design contest, the Miss Noppamas Beauty Contest, and Sukhothai arts and culture performances.</p> <p><span class="side-pink"><strong>Category:</strong></span> Art and Culture, Fairs & Festivals, Performing Arts</p> <p><img src="http://www.tourismthailand.org/fileadmin/templates/images/how-to-get-there.gif" height="18" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.tourismthailand.org/fileadmin/templates/images/bus.gif" align="absmiddle" height="27" /><span class="side-pink"><strong>By Bus</strong></span><br /></p><p>Air-conditioned buses depart from Bangkok's Mochit 2 Bus Terminal to Sukhothai daily between 9.45 a.m. and 10.20 p.m.,frequently during the morning.
