Food and Dining in Thailand - Thailand travel guide - Go Guides

Dining in Thailand is more than just the country's street stalls and traditional markets. Nowadays, many top-rated restaurants and resorts have invited world-renowned chefs to create culinary wonders, which means that you can enjoy fabulous cuisine at a lesser cost than in the west.

Royal Thai cuisine is a wonder in itself and definitely worth trying, but street food in Thailand is just as wonderful. This Southeast Asian country is fast becoming a foodie’s destination and you’ll find that fine dining, fun snacking, and experimenting with new tastes is an integral part of your Thai holiday.
