Old school Bangkok
Flip through a Thai cook book and you'll be hard pressed to find an ingredient list that doesn't run a page long. The combination of so many herbs and spices in each dish produces complex flavors that somehow come together like orchestral music. Thais fit spicy, sour, salty, sweet, chewy, crunchy and slippery into one dish.
With influences from China, Malaysia, Indonesia, and a royal culinary tradition, Thai cuisine is the best of many worlds. The best part about eating Thai foodin Thailand though is the hospitality. Sun, beach, service with a smile and a plastic bag full of som tam -- that's the good life.

Philosophy Cooking of Thai
Thai cooking is a creative and fun process of blending the five primary flavors that the human tongue is able to discern. By skillfully balancing the five basic flavors salty, sour, sweet, pungent and bitter and the varied sources from which they are derived, an almost infinite array of exquisite dishes can be created to satisfy every craving from simple hot sauces and salads to complex curries and intriguing appetizers. Flavor ingredients do not work in isolation, but interact with other flavor ingredients, sometimes in unexpected ways, to bring forth both the delicate and rich tastes of herbs, spices and foods with which they are blended and cooked.
