Geographically,Thailand is the crossroads of Asia and so it is hardly surprising that other Eastern cultures have play a role in development of national food.Unlike their neighbours,however,the Thais are blessed with a country free of any colonial past,so what influences there have been,have occured slowly ,naturally and as a matter of choice and so have not in any way detracted from the distinctive and unique traditional flavours.

The ever-increasing international awareness and popularity of Thai food is occurring with such rapidity that it can best be described as phenomenal.Two or three years ago,few foregners,apart from those fortunate enough to visited Thailand,had even heard of,let alone experienced,the uniquely-combined "spicy-salty-sweet-sour" taste of this very special Asian food.Yet,today in cities throughout the world ,more and more new restaurant,ranging from small family-style eateries to large,opulant establishments,are opening their doors to serve up such gastronomic delights as(very-wellknown) Tom Yaam Goong (hot and sour prawn soup),Seafood Souffle's (Hoor moark)

A widelyheld,yet misconceived,idea about Thai food seems to be that be "chilli hot"Certainly,There are some dishes eaten with great gusto by the local people which mayhave somewhat "disastrous"effects(both immediate and near-future!)on unsuspecting but generally the cooking technique is all about "balance";A balance of spices,herbs,roots and leaves carefully blended to enhance the natural flavours and textures of the main ingredients.

Indeed,if one were seeking a single-word summation of Thai food,the word would not be "heat" but "harmony" ; a harmony of tastes,colors and textures,designed to appeal to both the eye and the palate!!!!.Besides the quantities of pleasing apperance and excllent taste,Thai food is also light and nutritious.
