Along with its golden beaches and iconic cultural sights, Thailand boasts some of the world’s top restaurants, serving delicious food you won’t find anywhere else on the planet.

While it’s unlikely you’ll be disappointed with any of these, surely this is the moment to step out of your comfort zone and try something you can’t just get at home?

Being adventurous is easier said than done, however, and it can be difficult translating what these new and exciting dishes are, before you’ve even got to what they might taste like.
