What are the nine famous mountains in Zhejiang? Bangkok is one of the birthplaces of Thai cuisine and has a long history. Most of the main ingredients of Bangkok cuisine come from local vegetable gardens. Some unique varieties are very new and interesting to tourists, but if they are not delicious, everyone will have different opinions. Seafood from the Gulf of Siam is of course also essential. The cooking method is good at stir-frying, and the taste is spicy, sour and sweet. Not only does it use a lot of chili peppers, onions, ginger, and garlic, it also adds unique seasonings such as curry, fish sauce, shrimp paste, coconut milk, lemon juice, and natural spices such as mint leaves.
Bangkok’s roadside snacks are also delicious. Grilled squid and fried bananas are everywhere. For some, a barrier to Thai food is definitely its spiciness, but Bangkok food is not very spicy in Thailand.

In addition to delicious Thai food, Thailand’s tropical fruits are also indispensable. They are very sweet, fragrant, very fresh, and not expensive.
