Exploring Thai Culinary Traditions In Bangkok

Bangkok is an ideal destination for foodies who adore historical sites and Buddhist temples. Are you ready to discover the city’s culinary heritage with Eatagram?

Situated along the picturesque banks of the Chao Phraya River, Bangkok benefits from its unique location and offers guests enigmatic architectural sites, serene landscapes, and al fresco dining opportunities.

The city is a culinary paradise for foodies with an affection for street food, for street stalls offer the best specialties to introduce a gourmet newbie to the country’s cuisine. Start your day with the iconic pad thai with shrimp, tofu, and egg. This dish is typically served with the tamarind dipping sauce, a perfect blend of sweet and sour flavors. If you’re seeking something light, opt for som tum, green papaya salad. It’s really noteworthy.

Soup enthusiasts must try the go-to om yum goong. This rich Thai soup impresses with lemongrass, lime, galangal, and chili pepper flavors. Local restaurants generously season their om yum goong with Thai herbs.

Are you fond of curries? You definitely should try spicy Thai curries. You’ll fall in love with green curry called kaeng khiao wan and red curry, locally known as kaeng phet with tofu and chicken.

When it gets really hot in Thailand, cool off with Thai iced tea cha yen with a distincts orange flavor and a generous portion of condensed milk. Beer enthusiasts will luxuriate in the iconic Thai Singha beer. If you’d rather have a soft drink, refreshing fruity smoothies and lemongrass tea cha ma nao will work best.

If you can’t imagine your meal in Thailand without a dessert, treat yourself to traditional Thai delights. We adore tub tim grob, a chestnut dessert with coconut milk syrup. It tastes divine!
