Guide to Thailand

{{< guide-perex >}}
Thai cuisine is one of the most popular in the world. It is cooked from fresh and tasty ingredients. Overall, Thai cuisine can be introduced as dishes full of rice, noodles, vegetables, soy, fish and seafood and very, very hot. When you say "not spicy", they would bring you spicy one, maybe a little less, but a person who is not used to that will be surprised. In a few days, you will get used to it and finally you will find that the sharpness gives it the right hallmark. As a dessert you can have honey-sweet fruit, which you can buy on every corner, it is really unbeatable. And if you don't like fruit, you will definitely welcome coconut ice cream, served directly in coconut. It is worth spending money on it. Many people do not know what to order, as the menus here are in Thai and an English translation rarely tells you anything. One option is to look at the pictures and "pick with your eyes." Another option is to read our article, in which you will find out without tasting which dishes not to regret when returning home from vacation. {{</ guide-perex>}}
