Thailand

With its divine beaches of white sand and crystal clear water, tropical climate and enchanting temples and monuments, Thailand has become a favourite with all types of travellers; from paradise and adventure-seeking back-packers to five-star luxury lovers.

Thai cuisine is now popular the world over, but a green curry at your local restaurant simply doesn't compare to the real thing. Thai food is known for its enthusiastic use of fresh herbs and spices and fish sauce, and its balance of five fundamental flavours in each dish, or the overall meal; hot, sour, sweet, salty and bitter.
