Thai temple

Thai cuisine is fast becoming internationally famous. The food reveals a great deal about the country - its political history, geography and trade. Thailand, as it developed, was influenced by countries like India and China and it’s clearly shown in the food. Yet Thai cuisine, like its people, has maintained its own unique identity.

The distinct flavors of Thai cooking come from the local spices and produce: coconut milk, lemongrass, tamarind, ginger, garlic, basil, palm sugar, turmeric, peppers, shallots, spring onions and chili which has become one of the main players in Thai taste and much Thai food is fiery hot. Fish sauce and shrimp paste appear in nearly every recipe as well. Making the taste a harmonious blend of the spicy, salty, subtle, sweet and sour. Thai food is mostly stir-fried, boiled, steamed, some are grilled but, like most countries in the region, a lack of fuel in the old days precluded baking.

Some of Thai most well known dishes are Tom Yum Gung - spicy prawn soup with herbs, Pad Thai - stir fried rice noodles, Gaeng Khiew Waan - sweet green curry, Tom Kha Kai - Spicy and sweet soup with chicken and galangal, Panang - dry sweet curry, Som Tam - papaya salad, among other tasty dishes.

The Thai unit of currency is the baht. One baht is divisible into 100 satang. Coins come in 5 denominations: 25 and 50 satang coins are small and made of brass.

As a tourist, you’re not likely to encounter them unless you shop at supermarket or travel on Bangkok’s non-A/C public buses. The other coins come in 1, 2, 5 and 10 baht. The 1, 2 and 5 baht coins are silver, while the 10 baht coin consists of a silver ring around a brass center. Bills are in denominations of 20 (green), 50 (blue), 100 (red), 500 (purple) and 1,000 (brown). There’s also a 10 baht bill in circulation but they’re quite rare. Actually, there’re several variations of coins and bills in circulation. But they’re all legal tender. Major credit cards are accepted by hotels and large stores but cash is the preferred tender almost everywhere in Thailand.

Major currency bills and travelers checks can be cashed at the hotels, bank branches, shopping centers and money changers. Though passport is required for travelers checks and they are best changed at the banks or authorized money changers. The banks and money changers also have better exchange rates than the hotels or shopping centers.
