I’ve always loved Thai food and whenever I go to a restaurant I tend to order some of the hotter Thai dishes available. So when on our recent visit to Thailand it was inevitable that the cuisine was going to be one of the highlights for me and while I knew some Thai food can be very, very hot I also knew that this wasn’t the case with all of their dishes and I also believed I would be able to handle it well enough.

The first thing that struck me when we tried the local cuisine for the first time was the friendliness that went hand in hand with the service. The Thai people are genuinely very friendly and we were made to feel welcome wherever we went. The waiters were more than happy to explain the dishes and warn us if they thought we were biting off more than we could chew.

The food was everything I had dreamt it would be and more. The smell alone when you walk past some of the restaurants and bars was enough to entice you in but these fantastic aromas weren’t just emitted from the eateries but also the homes. My wife joked that if she hadn’t have been there I would have been knocking on doors asking to try some of the food. She was right.
