Must-Try Thai Dishes for First-Time Visitors
This is a Thai specialty dish that combines all kinds of sweet, salty, sour, spicy and fatty flavors. Pad Thai’s main ingredient is pho noodles that are soaked until soft, then stir-fried over high heat with shrimp, meat, fried eggs, bean sprouts, chives and added sauce and a little fish sauce for flavor. Finally, the dish will be added with mashed beans, fried onions and a slice of lemon.
One of the Thai specialties that you must try is Laeng Saeb ribs. The main ingredient that creates the appeal of the dish is spare ribs, simmered until tender with chili, white radish, onion, ginger and lime leaves. The ribs are often bunched together to form an extremely impressive large tower. When eating, visitors can feel the meat melt in the mouth and dip it in a rich, sour and spicy broth.
Mango sticky rice is a very popular dessert in Thailand. The main ingredients that create the appeal of this dish are sticky sticky rice grains, sweet and fragrant ripe mango flesh combined with fatty coconut milk, and finally a layer of crispy fried green beans. In addition to traditional sticky rice, Thai people also create a number of variations such as mango sticky rice with sticky leaves, mango sticky rice with durian, and mango black sticky rice.
Som Tam papaya salad (also known as Som Tum), is a traditional Thai dish. In particular, chefs will use shredded green papaya, then pound it in a mortar with lemon, chili, fish sauce, palm sugar and some other ingredients depending on the customer’s request. Because the papaya is pounded manually, the papaya is not crushed. When eating, you can still clearly feel the crunchiness and the attractive sour, spicy, salty and sweet flavor.
When talking about Thai specialties, it is impossible not to mention Tomyum soup, which has a harmonious combination of sour, sweet and fatty. Accordingly, the dish is made from fresh shrimp, combined with lemongrass, tomatoes, mushrooms, chili and lime leaves. In particular, when enjoying Tomyum soup, you can choose one of two broth flavors: the naturally rich flavor or the aromatic fatty taste of coconut milk.
A Global Trend Toward Experiential Food Travel
Food has become one of the main drivers of international travel demand. According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand, gastronomy plays a key role in attracting international visitors, with Thailand consistently ranking among the world’s top culinary destinations thanks to its diverse street food and rich food culture.
In addition, global travel platforms highlight that modern travelers increasingly seek experiential travel, including cooking classes, street food tours, and local dining experiences, rather than traditional sightseeing alone.
Why Travel Agents Should Promote Thai Cuisine Experiences
For travel agents, culinary tourism offers strong potential to increase product value and customer satisfaction. According to industry insights from the UN World Tourism Organization, food experiences are among the most influential factors in destination choice and traveler satisfaction.
Thai cuisine, known for its global popularity and accessibility, allows agents to easily design flexible programs—from street food tours in Bangkok to luxury dining experiences in Phuket—thereby creating opportunities for upselling and premium travel packages.
