For foodies, there isn’t a much better destination than the southeast Asian country of Thailand. While Thai cuisine has grown in popularity outside of the country’s borders in recent years, if you want to truly experience the magic of Thai cooking, you should definitely visit and try these dishes on their home soil.

So, if you end up making this decision, what are the best plates that you should try? Here are my top choices.

Tom Yung Goong

This hot and sour Thai soup is a favorite all around the country. Containing shrimp, Thai chilis and limes are the principal flavor-providing elements that make this soup such a curious and delectable experience for the taste buds.

Pad Thai

You’ve probably had Pad Thai outside of Thailand before, but having it while visiting the country itself is a whole different experience. This stir-fry noodle dish can be found with all types of proteins and vegetables, making it an option that you can personalize to meet your preferences.

Pad Pak Boong

Have you ever tried a Thai side dish before? If you like sauteed spinach, Pad Pak Boong is a Thai look-a-like that you are sure to love. Water spinach, a semi-aquatic plant which is commonly found in Thailand, is stir fried with oyster sauce and soy sauce to make a great accompaniment to any dish.
