Top Thai Dishes You Just Have to Taste and enjoy.

Top Thai Dishes You Just Have to Taste and enjoy.

In Thailand, food forms a central part of any social occasions—and vice versa. That is, food often becomes the social occasion in itself, or reason to celebrate. This is partly due to the friendly, social nature of Thai people, but also because of the way in which food is ordered and eaten in Thailand.

Here are some dishes that I recommend you must try and enjoy while visiting Thailand.

1- Kai Pad Med Mamuang Himmapan (Stir-Fried Chicken with Cashew Nuts)

Even though Kai Pad Med Mamuang Himmapan does not represent the overview of Thai food but it is a very nice treat to your bland taste buds. Since it is by no means spicy or hot, this slightly sweet and salty chicken fried with crunchy cashew nuts is aptly satiating for children or beginners who are not used to spices.

2- Kang Keaw Wan Kai (Green Chicken Curry)

Since we are having three dishes in a row made of "Kai", you would have guessed that it is chicken in English. Not that chicken is particularly popular in Thai cuisine; it is usually used in most curry and soup. Kang Kiew Wan, literally translated as "Sweet Green Curry", is nicely sweet and slightly spicy and tastes very delightful with a proper blend of the spiciness from green curry chili paste, blandness from coconut milk, sweetness of sugar and saltiness of fish sauce. It is usually eaten with steamed rice or served as a sauce to rice noodle known as "Kanom Jeen" likewise to how you eat Spaghetti.

3 - pad  Thai (Fried Noodle)

This national dish prides itself for its long history traced back in previous centuries. Pad Thai flaunts the authenticity of Thai culinary arts in using only fresh and best ingredients and the well-balancing of the five fundamental flavors. The stir-fried noodle becomes popular because it tastes yummy and comes with a choice to add in a set of seasonings to suit your appetites. Through history, Pad Thai has evolved into two different styles: the classic and the variation. The classic Pad Thai is a stir-fried noodle with eggs, fish sauce, tamarind juice, red chili pepper plus bean sprouts, shrimp and tofu and garnished with crushed peanuts and coriander while another style is relatively dry and lightly-flavored. The latter is easily found in street vendors and dominant in Thai restaurants in the West but the having classic Pad Thai freshly cooked in its original country is a way to go.

Tom Kha Kai (Chicken in Coconut Milk Soup)

4- Although Tom Kha Kai is another variation of chicken soup, it deserves the No.4 because of its unparalleled taste and popularity. Similar to Tom Yam Kai, the broth is prepared with many types of Thai herbs with the special addition of coconut milk that makes this soup unique. Though the soup is seasoned with chili, lime and fish sauce just like Tom Kha Kai, thanks to the coconut milk, the broth is milder and less spicy. This is probably more liked by non-spicy eaters.

5 - Moo Sa-Te (Grilled Pork Sticks with Turmeric)

This tantalizing sweet-flavored grilled pork sticks are refined with rich, juicy sauce made of turmeric and curry powder. Moo Sa-Te makes a savory hors d'oeuvres that will appease any taste buds. These juicy grilled pork sticks are usually served with two saucy dips � one is a mildly spicy thick sauce with ground peanuts, coconut milk and curry powder and another one is a sweet and sour vinegar sauce with chopped shallot, pepper and cucumber to mitigate its oiliness.

6 - Som Tam (Spicy Papaya Salad)

Som Tam is one of the most popular foods among Thai people for its fiercely spicy and sour flavors. Som Tam, which literally means "Sour Pounded", is a spicy salad made from a mix of fresh vegetables including shredded unripened papaya, yardlong beans and tomato. Som Tam is unique that the spicy dressing and salad vegetables are pounded and mixed in the mortar using a pestle. Somtam is usually served with grilled chicken and sticky rice. Som Tam is good for your health that it contains no fat, low calorie and high vitamins. This is a truly authentic Thai dish that will make a great impression. The only reason why I�m ranking Som Tam at No.7 (though it deserves higher rank) is its strong spiciness that might leave your tongue burned and swollen. Just say "Mai phed" (not spicy) to your waiter if you really want to try.

7 - Por Pia Tord (Fried Spring Roll)

Fried spring roll is one of the most popular appetizers among foreigners because it is not spicy and comes with sweet and sour dip. Spring rolls are crispy pastries with fried vegetable fillings. Though spring rolls are commonplace in many Southeast Asian countries, Thai Por Pia is different in flavors with a special dip prepared from Japanese apricot.

In a way or another you must enjoy the traditional thai dishes when your in Thailand cause they will tell you a lot of spicy and sweety stories while your  buoying them.

Why do we love Bangkok ? Bangkok sucks you in and doesn't let you go !!

Why do tourist visit Bangkok over and over again ?

First time when You visit Thailand and specially that oriental city Bangkok , the hectic scenes that greet you can be overwhelming at first, and many have been heard to announce they can't wait to get out of the city and will never come back. That sentiment, however, usually lasts only a few minutes before the next delight accosts you and you soon find yourself falling in love with the city and never wanting to leave.

Some, like me, come to Bangkok for a few weeks and return again and again as, every time, they find some new pastime or sight to enthrall and surprise them.

Yes, Bangkok sucks you in and doesn't let you go, like no other city in the world, which is just one of the reasons why it is a tourists favorite and likely to remain so for decades to come.

No other city offers the sights, sounds, smells and plain mouth-dropping wonders that Bangkok offers. And, in many cases, all at absolutely no cost.

To see more of why Bangkok has been one of the world's most visited cities for years now, with more than 16 million visitors arriving every year visit it .  Then tell me you don't want to experience all that at least once in your lifetime as, frankly, I won't believe you.

Interestingly, many of these tourists return to Bangkok again and again, seemingly enamored of everything this amazing city has to offer. But why?

Soi cowboy - the naughty soi of Bangkok

Soi cowboy

Soi Cowboy, Bangkok's red-light district for expats and tourists is located parallel to Sukhumvit Road between Asoke Road and Soi 23. It's very close to a public transport intersection combining BTS Sukhumvit line and MRT at Asok station and Terminal 21. Soi Cowboy hosts around 20 agogo bars with names such as The Dollhouse, Tilac, Soi Cowboy 2 and Baccara. Every tuk-tuk and taxi driver knows Soi Cowboy and getting there from any part of Bangkok is easy. Be aware of taxis standing in front of this area. They will try to overcharge. It's recommended to pick a taxi from flowing traffic. Bars open around 19.00h in the evening and close at 2.30 in the morning.

Ask any tuk tuk driver or taxi driver and they will take you there. It is within fairly short distance of all the major Sukhumvit Road hotels. Alternatively you can take the Sky Train (BTS) and get off at Asoke Station or the Bangkok Subway System (MRT) and get off at the Sukhumvit Station. Both are a few minutes walk to Soi Cowboy.

There are currently around 35 bars and gogo bars but this always changes with time and bars close and new bars open.

Be prepared to be tugged on by dozens of ladies as you enter the threshold of Soi Cowboy. This widely popular red light zone was just recently renovated and enjoying a surge in visitors as a result. 

Soi Cowboy is popular with the expat community in Bangkok and that's a good sign. Going where the experienced locals go is a good indication of where the good restaurants are and the same goes true for go go bars. The drinks in the go go bars at Soi Cowboy have gone up in price. But don't worry it's still not bad compared to western bar prices. The best thing of all is that most of the bars in Soi Cowboy do have Happy Hours or drink specials such as a 2 for 1 or cheap draft beers.

The most popular go go bars in my opinion are Shark Bar, Doll House, Baccara, Spice Girls and the futuristic looking Tilac Bar. These go go bars have the most ladies which increases the probability of meeting prettier girls. They have been around since Soi Cowboy first started but are constantly keeping themselves fresh and reinventing themselves ever so often to keep up with the times and competition.

Some of the go go bars in Soi Cowboy are unique such as Baccara where you can watch girls dance above, beneath a glass ceiling. Sometimes in bikinis and a couple of times in the nude, which is technically illegal, but so is prostitution. There are loads of girls who are dressed in school uniforms which I'm sure are fulfilling a lot of male fetishes.

Speaking about unique bars, there are two specialty bars to check out. I hope you're not shy though because in Afterskool customers can have a beer while a lady gives gives them oral sex. Believe me you're going to need the beer because almost anyone could watch as there really is no privacy. Just a part of the bar they call the naughty corner.

I guess if you will visit Bangkok and you must visit soi cowboy at least to have a drink and experience that adult Disney land of Far East .

Types of Massage in Bangkok , and how much they cost.

Foot massage

This technique is bases on an old Chinese tradition that believes the hands and feet are the center of the human body. Foot massage is called 'Reflexology'. Reflexology relaxes the whole body and relieves pain, strain, headache, migraine, stiff neck and sore knees. By applying pressure to the underside of the feet, you can bring vitality and health to the whole body. Stimulating specific points on the feet relieves tension. It improves circulation and promotes the natural healing of the body. Foot massage is a good and preventive measure for problems such as constipation, sinus, back and neck problem and it also helps improve the kidney and digestive systems. Furthermore: reflexology can make you look younger and feel wonderful.

The cost ranges between 150 to 450 bath and in my experience I advice you to visit the happy feet massage shop in sukhumvit 13 same soi as ambassador hotel, its a wonderful place and its cost 250 bath for one hour . ( always busy ) opens till 12 midnight.

Thai massage

Thai Massage is relatively new to modern spas, but it was actually developed by Buddhist monks in Thailand as a healing modality 2,500 years ago. Thai massage uses passive stretching and gentle pressure along the body’s energy lines to increase flexibility, relieve muscle and joint tension and balance the body’s energy systems. Thai massage is both deeply relaxing and energizing.

Well this type of massage cost range from 250 bath to 700 bath, depending on the shop and the time one of the best shops I have visited is thai spa Bangkok sukhumvit soi 31

Soapy massage

Well this is kind of adult massage , mostly famous in Bangkok and Phuket , I will give you a general idea about this adult massage and the rest is upon you to explore it.

Every soapy massage shop has price a structuring scheme. Once you enter an establishment you'll either be seated and shown a menu or shown one next a counter. Either way a mamasan will assist you if you have any questions. And depending on the establishment you'll be offered a photo album to look through pictures of ladies employed on premise wearing skimpy outfits in slutty poses.

Some soapy massage shops have a fish bowl where the ladies sit with mini skirts or swim suites Meaning you can request to take a look at any available ladies. The mamasan will call up the massage girls and line them up all in front of you. I know for a lot of first timers, this may seem a bit uncomfortable having all those eyes on you but please relax. For god sakes you're there to have fun! They are not judging you because they already know you are a pervert. 

In Bangkok one of the famous soapy massage shop is Annie's massage. First Opened in 1972 The World Famous Annie's Soapy Massage Bangkok is the longest running licensed soapy massage parlor in the Nana/Sukhumvit area, if not Bangkok

Also another one famous in Phuket called christina massage.

Well the cost ranges here mostly from 1200 bath till 2500 bath full service one and a half hour.

Concerning the services or details you can leave ur comments and we can answere you as much as detailed as you want.

Top 5 places for shopping in Bangkok " Bangkok shopping "

 MBK Center- A hugely popular and often-packed 8-story mall with hundreds of small shops offering low to mid-priced casual wear, shoes, bags, mobile phones and much more, as well as the 4-story Tokyu Department Store. Enter from the Skywalk from National Stadium BTS station (Exit 4), or a short walk from Siam BTS station. This is one of the most renowned shopping spots in Thailand. Highlights: the 4th Floor technology area, a warren of tiny shops focusing on mobile phones, and the 6th floor food court.  Also worth considering - the cinema complex at MBK, surrounded by restaurants (as are cimena complexes in some other malls) and highly popular video game arcade, is worth a visit for the vibe alone - even if you weren't thinking of seeing a film.

Chatuchak "Weekend" Market (aka JJ or Jatujak) - A visit to Bangkok without having experienced the amazing crazy weekend market is a wasted trip!!! Overflowing with souvenirs, food, clothes, art...  It’s a great experience even for non-shoppers, and really easy to get to on the Skytrain. Open on weekends only. It's about 5 minutes walk from Mo Chit BTS station (exit 1). Exit 2 of MRT station Kamphaeng Phet is actually inside the market. Bring water and wear light, loose clothing because it can get extremely hot and crowded. Warning: there are many pickpockets at Chatuchak. Leave your credit and debit cards in your hotel safe and only bring sufficient money for expected purchases. Keep your wallet securely in an inside pocket or pouch.

CentralWorld - is the self-proclaimed "largest lifestyle shopping complex" in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong. Inside its mammoth-size structure, there is everything you need to enjoy your day: delicious restaurants, 500+ shops, a world-class cinema as well as occasional exciting events. Some shops offer bargain prices for trendy stuff. Of course, some shops or items may not be bargains at all...

Siam Paragon- A new, upmarket mega mall with a department store and many high end boutiques and shops. This is a family destination with something for everyone - Siam Ocean World at the basement should keep the kids busy (but at "stealth dual pricing" with foreigners trapped into paying much more than Thais) while the serious shopper is at work.  Book lovers rejoice: the city's largest Asia Books, and also its largest Books Kinokuniya store, are both in this mall. Get your very detailed ThinkNet "Map Magic" digital atlas of Bangkok, all of Thailand, and other areas here, and in other book stores, to load onto your PC for digital reference.  Hardcopy atlases and maps are also available.  Exit at BTS Siam Station, which leads to level 2 of this mall. Connected with other shopping mall, Discovery, Siam Centre and MBK. So if you want to have some serious shopping, this is a place to consider.  Note, however, that this mall uses "prestige", not value, to tout itself.

Panthip Plaza - This is the place in Bangkok for computer software and hardware, with hundreds of small stands and shops on four levels. It has everything from used computers and parts to new Macs (plus computer accessories, phones, photo equipment, printing services, a food court, an A&W burger shop, and an S&P restaurant and bakery). Some of Panthip Plaza's shops are on the Web (with English language interface or Thai which can be translated by Web translation services). Two of those are IT City and Hardware House International.
