Most of the dishes in Thai cuisine try to combine most, if not all, of these tastes. It is accomplished by using a host of herbs, spices and fruit, including: chili, cumin, garlic, ginger, basil, sweet basil, lime, lemongrass, coriander, pepper, turmeric, and shallots.

Thai food is unique and delicious. Most Thai dishes are a combination of sweet and salty, and sour and spicy. Each dish has its balance; for example, Phad Thai noodle has a sour and sweet taste; a trace of salty and spicy is optional. Curry is spicy, but you will find sweetness and a trace of salty as well. Thai food is healthy because it contains fresh vegetables, herbs, and relatively small portions of bite-sized meat. (Thais do not use a knife at the table).

The heart of a Thai meal is rice (Kaow). Thais eat rice as Westerners eat bread (Ka Nhom Phun). There are several varieties of rice grown in Thailand. The most famous is Jasmine, or fragrant rice. To add flavor and more nutrition to a Thai meal, a stir-fry dish, soup and/or curry are added, which is then known as Gup Kaow.
