Southern Thailand is a long peninsula, stretching down to Malaysia and bordered by the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea.
Known for its beautiful scenic beaches and resorts, it is also noted for the cuisine in which the abundant fresh seafood from the surrounding waters plays a prominent role.
The fresh seafood of this region includes marine fish, lobsters, crabs, squid, scallops, clams and mussels. Coconuts are also widely used. The milk of the coconut tempers the heat of chili-laced soups and curies. The coconut oil is used for frying and fresh coconut is used as a condiment.
Other regional specialties include cashew nuts from local plantations. Fruits such as mangosteens and small, sweet pineapples are common. A pungent bean called Sato which provides a somewhat bitter flavor is popular. And distinctively southern dishes like Khao Yam Nam Budu (rice salad with southern fried fish sauce) will delight. Spicy soups like Kaeng Lueang (yellow curry) and Kaeng Tai Pla (spicy curry of fish) are full of flavor.
The majority of Thailand’s Muslim population lives in the Southern most provinces, and their influence is presented in such dishes as Kaeng Massaman, a mild curry seasoned with cardamom, cloves and cinnamon.
Sa Te is the well-known and popular bits of meat, usually chicken or beef, prepared on a skewer with a spicy peanut sauce.
Until more recent times, Thailand’s rich culinary heritage has been one of the country’s best kept secrets. As you explore Thailand’s cooking diversity, you might be surprised to find out how many different cooking styles and tastes abound from the various regions of the country.
There are four primary regions in Thailand, and each of these regions has a unique style of Thai cuisine. Some of the regional style reveals some of the foreign influence assimilated over the centuries, but always retaining the distinctive flavor of Thai cuisine.
Thailand’s Central Region is regarded as the traditional heartland of the country. The fertile plain along the winding Chao Phraya River, has beent he setting for the evolution of many of the best-known dishes.
Sharing borders with Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Laos), and Myanmar, Northern Thailand was for many centuries an independent kingdom called Lanna Thai, “Land of a Million Rice Fields”. This area of Thailand is sealed off from the rest of the country by a range of high mountains until it came under the rule of Bangkok in the 19th century. Through the centuries, a culture markedly different from other areas of Thailand has flourished not only in languages and customs but also in cuisine.
The rolling plateau of the Northeast Region of Thailand stretches to the Mekong River and shares borders with Laos and Cambodia. The Northeast is perhaps the least-known area of the country to the average visitor. Yet I-San, as it is popularly called in Thailand, covers over a third of the country’s total area. This area contains many sights of historical interest, and has a highly distinctive culture and cuisine of its own.
Southern Thailand is a long peninsula, stretching down to Malaysia and bordered by the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea.

Experience many varieties of seafood dishes that include the marine fish, lobsters, crabs, squid, scallops, clams and mussels.
