Ok folks, it's time to share with you some of the delicious food that I have the pleasure of munching my way through in a day. All of these dishes are freely available here in Thailand, and make up part of the staple diet of the country.
It is a striking accolade for a counties cuisine when it is consistantly named 'the bet food in the world' by temerarious travellers.
Here are some of my personal favourites; and a recipe so you can have a go at home.
