History Of Thai Food

The main food in Thailand is rice. Everyone has eaten it since they were born. But we can't really eat rice alone so we have to have something to go with it. There are many dishes of food to go with rice. Most of them are hot and spicy and that is what Thai food is famous for

Also, most Thai people do not sit down to eat a proper meal because they usually eat when they are hungry, especially kids and teenagers.
