Thailand has a lot to offer, from their colorful heritage and culture to their sumptuous selection of traditional meals that will leave your palate wanting more. Thai dishes blend rich flavors together and combine them with a spiciness that is unmistakably the country’s own.

Much of the delicious cuisine found in restaurants comes from vendors serving food on the streets of Thailand. Here are a few dishes you absolutely must try:

• Tom Yum Goong (Spicy Shrimp Soup): This spicy and sour soup is great on its own or paired with a serving of traditional Thai fried rice. The unique flavor is balanced out by meaty shrimp, which brings everything together.

• Satay (Meat Skewers): Another staple in any Thai feast is satays. These meat skewers come in a variety of forms but are generally just barbecued meat served with the nation’s world-famous peanut sauce.

• Pad Thai (Fried Noodles): When it comes to Thai dishes, Pad Thai is a must-try. This stir fried noodle dish has just the right kick that won’t overwhelm the taste buds. It is savory and flavorful, making for a great snack or a full meal.

• Gaeng Keow Wan Kai (Green Chicken Curry): This dish has a uniquely invigorating taste thanks to the several spices used to make the sauce. The curry sauce is mixed with heaps of coconut milk that give it a mild yet refreshing taste that’s not too spicy.

• Gaeng Daeng (Red Curry): For those looking for a culinary thrill, this spicy Thai dish is a must. It’s similar to the green curry version, but has a spicy bite that’s hard to ignore.
