Curries, fruit shakes, stir fries, fresh fish made a zillion ways - and that's just the beginning. Food in Thailand can be as cheap and easy as 25 baht pad thai (Thai fried noodles)
Thai cuisine is characterized by balance and strong flavors, especially lime juice, lemon grass and fresh coriander, the combination of which gives Thai food its distinctive taste. In addition, Thai food has a deserved reputation for being spicy, with hot little torpedo-shaped chillies called phrik khii nuu (lit. "mouse shit chillies") making their way into many a dish.
Rice, Noodles, Soups and curries, Salads, Dessert, Vegetarian food,
Vegetarians won't have too many problems surviving in Thailand, with one significant exception: fish sauce is to Thai cuisine what soy sauce is to Chinese food, and keeping it out of soups, curries and stir-fries will be a challenge.
Iced drinks, Coconut water, Thai sweet orange juice, Thai iced tea, Black Canyon Coffee is Thailand's home-brewed Starbucks. Thai whisky (lao) refers to a number of distilled rice liquors
locally brewed beer was Singha (pronounced just Sing) but it has lost market to cheaper and stronger Chang. Both are pretty strong though, but for those who prefer something a bit lighter.
