 Thai
cuisine is distinctive thanks to liberal use of spices subtly combined
with herbs and market-fresh ingredients. Moreover, Thai cuisine also combines
the best of Chinese and Indian culinary traditions while retaining its
own special character.
Chinese food in Thailand, which is normally
quite bland, is second to none. Major European, Levantine, Asian, and
Oriental cuisine are represented in gourmet restaurants. American and
English breakfasts are served in most hotels whilst numerous ubiquitous
coffee-shops specialize in European dishes. Western fast food chains,
snack bars, and ice-cream parlors have gained increasing popularity with
the Thais.
