Thailand is famous for its food culture, and you’re missing out if you don’t dive into the local dishes. Here are some unforgettable flavors you should experience while traveling.
Food is one of the main reasons so many people choose to travel to Thailand. The aromas from street stalls, the fresh ingredients, and the perfect balance of sweet, salty, sour, and spicy make Thai cuisine a culinary adventure. Whether you enjoy mild rice dishes or bold chili heat, there’s something for every taste. Many travelers use drømmerejser to plan their trip and often discover that the food ends up being one of the biggest highlights. While everyone finds their personal favorite, it’s worth trying a bit of everything. Here are some of the most beloved and authentic Thai dishes you should not miss during your journey.
Pad Thai is a timeless favorite among locals and visitors
Pad Thai is undoubtedly one of the most iconic dishes in Thailand and often the first one tourists try. It consists of stir-fried rice noodles with egg, bean sprouts, scallions, and a choice of shrimp, chicken, or tofu. It's typically served with crushed peanuts, lime, a pinch of sugar, and chili flakes on the side so you can adjust the flavor yourself.
Pad Thai is both tasty and filling, and you’ll find it everywhere from street vendors to upscale restaurants. While it's especially popular with tourists today, locals still enjoy it as a quick, satisfying meal.
Som Tam delivers freshness with a spicy kick
Som Tam, or green papaya salad, is a staple in northeastern Thailand but is enjoyed throughout the country. It’s made from shredded green papaya, lime, fish sauce, garlic, chili, tomatoes, and often dried shrimp or peanuts. The result is a bold mix of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors.
Som Tam is usually served alongside grilled meats or sticky rice. If you're not used to spicy food, make sure to ask for a mild version – Thai people often use far more chilies than most visitors expect.
Massaman curry is a rich and comforting favorite
Massaman curry is a southern Thai dish influenced by Muslim culinary traditions. It stands out for its mild, slightly sweet, and nutty flavor. Typically made with beef or chicken, potatoes, onions, coconut milk, and massaman curry paste, it includes spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves.
It’s a thick, creamy dish that’s ideal for those who want to enjoy curry without too much heat. Served with jasmine rice, it’s a deeply satisfying meal that warms both the stomach and the soul.
