Thai food was influenced by European cuisine after contact with Portuguese missionaries and Dutch traders and there were even some influences from the Japanese. But today, Thai food is its own, with a special unique blend of the 5 tastes: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and spicy.

Thai cuisine is a simple yet clever combination of Eastern and Western influences harmoniously combined into that je ne sais quoi. Sour, sweet, salty, bitter and spicy flavours that works together to make each dish come alive!

Thai food varies depending upon the area or region of Thailand the dish originates from.
