Thai cuisine is known for its unique dishes that are packed with flavor. The following are just a few of Thai cuisine’s most common dishes:

-Tom yum goong: One of Thailand’s most famous soups, Tom yum goong gets its unique aroma from fragrant herbs, lemongrass, galangal, lime leaves and shallots. The soup provides a mix of spicy and sour with peppers and fish sauce, while shrimp give the soup its body. 

-Som tam: A salad made with shredded green papaya, som tam also features a mix of spicy and sweet flavors. The dish has many variations, but it goes especially well with sticky rice and barbequed chicken.

-Massaman curry: Deriving its name from the Thai word for Muslim, this curry consists of concoction of coconut milk, roasted peanuts, potatoes, bay leaves, cinnamon, sugar, and tamarind sauce.
