rice. If you are going to try Thai food for the
first time, you might get confused about what to
order and what not to order. So, here are some
of the most popular Thai foods that people
usually order such as Tom Yum Goong (Spicy
Shrimp Soup), Som Tum (Spicy Green Papaya Salad),

KHAO PAD
This is undoubtedly the simplest and the most
popular Thai food. It is made with fried rice,
some meat (usually prawn), and veggies. One of
the popular variations is known as American
Fried Rice, which includes a fried egg on the
top. This is delicious when minced up and mixed
with rice.

CHICKEN SATAY
Satay is also one of the popular Thai snacks. In
Phuket night markets, you will easily get this
snack, but now even good restaurants also serve
them as an appetiser. Chicken Satay is made by
marinating chicken in a tasty and extremely mild
curry sauce. It is always served with a peanut
sauce, which enhances the flavour of the dish
without having to add anything to spice it up.

KWAY TEOW
If you want to try something that reminds you of
local Thai market and is also not so spicy, then
this noodle soup is the dish for you. This dish
was inspired by the Hokkien Chinese immigrant
population that arrived in Phuket in the
late-18th century. This dish has round yellow
noodles in a thin soup with vegetables, and
seafood.

PAD THAI
We put this dish on the list of best Thai dishes
because of its popularity. Even though you cannot
have all five tastes in one dish, this is
non-spicy and will prove to be the best for
those who want to try Thai food for the first
time. If you love eating spicy food then you may
want to try the following Thai dishes as
explained

GAENG KUA KLING
This is a Thai dish from Southern Thailand. Kua
Kling is a dry curry that takes no prisoners
when it comes to its taste i.e., spicy. This
dish is simple to cook than many other Thai
dishes. The curry paste is made of chilli,
pepper, lemongrass, garlic, salt, turmeric, and
galangal. Shrimp paste is added to the meat that
roasts in a pan, and is mixed together until it
is cooked. It is either available with pork,
chicken, fish, or beef. It is then served with
rice.

SOM TAM
This is on the list of Thailands spiciest
foods. The un-ripened papaya is tangy in taste.
It is served with a pounded mixture of salt,
fish sauce, lime juice, coconut sugar and of
course a liberal handful of fiery hot
chillies. The presence of the variety of
ingredients works really well and it creates a
dish that is balanced in flavour.

GAENG SOM
This dish will win your heart first with its
aroma and then with its taste. This notorious
orange curry from South of Thailand has a
distinctive spicy fragrance. A thin, soup-like
curry, this dish gets its spice from the shrimp
paste and birds eye chilies. Usually this dish
contains fish or shrimp. It is served typically
alongside boiled white rice.
11
LAAB
In the west, salads are usually bland and are
certainly not spicy. Laab is one of the two
popular Thai salads. Rice is toasted and pounded
before being added to a mix of pork, chicken,
mashed chilies and onions which creates a
deceptively spicy dish. The first few mouthfuls
might seem manageable, but the spice rapidly
grows to unbearable levels.

TOM YUM KUNG
This dish is Thailands much loved soup dish. The
best part is that you can have this delicacy
even in Hong Kong. Yes, if you crave it, you can
definitely have it. The base of the soup is
prepared with fried chili and chili paste. Throw
it in galangal and lemongrass, and you will have
a hot, aromatic dish. But beware! This dish is
not for the faint hearted. It is fiery
reddish-orange in color. Once you have it, the
dish will set alarm bells ringing as the level of
spice rises. Let me also inform you that this
soup is really good if you have caught flu. Have
this soup and you will get moving. Promise! So,
