Drooling for Thai

FIND EACH DISTINCT FLAVOUR COME HARMONIOUSLY ONTO YOUR PLATE IN BANGKOK.

- By Karen Anand

Thailand has long been one of the world's most visited countries, and today Bangkok holds the crown as the globe's most visited city. Despite its heat and humidity, the Thai capital draws travellers back time and again. Why? Affordability, for one. Bangkok remains one of Asia’s best-value destinations, where a dream holiday is still within easy reach. Add to that the gentle nature of its people, their openhearted hospitality, and food that bursts with flavour, and it is easy to see why so many call it their second home. Bangkok can be overwhelming at first glance—traffic snarls, tuk-tuks weaving through the chaos, and the hum of a city that never seems to slow down. Yet when it comes to food, the city outshines even Singapore, offering everything from Michelin-starred dining to spotless food courts where a satisfying meal costs just a few dollars.
