No, but it is true that Thais love spicy food. In fact, there is no salt in the cruet set, pepper or oil and, instead, they always carry chilli powder and vinegar with chilli.
However, there are many dishes that are not spicy or seasoned to the taste of each diner.

Without any doubt, rice, which is also consumed in the form of noodles. The rice cooker or the saucepan with boiling water keeps the grains or the noodles ready, and the final dish is cooked in the wok.
They often offer the same recipe for rice or noodles, sauteed, with the possibility of combining them with chicken, pork or shrimp.
In the case of noodles, they may allow you to choose the thickness and also ask if you prefer the noodles with broth in the same bowl or separately, that is, with the broth in another cup.

Non-spicy dishes
Although they may include some chilli in the dish, it provides more colour than spicy.
The importance of rice is noted when the Thais are hungry and refer to food because they do so with the expression ‘kin kao‘ which means ‘eat rice‘.
The most typical variety is aromatic jasmine rice.



On many occasions, you will have the opportunity to season the dish chosen to your liking, so you can decide how spicy you want it.
Tip: If spicy can be a problem for children, a good alternative is to bring your own salt shaker in your backpack, so that the dishes can be seasoned without going to chili and pepper. In some restaurants, they can provide it on request of the customer, but not always.
Dishes that are seasoned to your liking
How are they seasoned?
They are usually seasoned with chilli, soy sauce and fermented fish sauce. Bad matter if you have a fried egg on your plate, optional in many dishes, because there is no salt shaker. In the cruet you will find sugar and vinegar next to the chilli.



Thai gastronomy plays with an unusual sum of ingredients, mixing sweet, salty, spicy, sour and bitter flavours.
The surprising thing is that the combination usually reaches a balance that makes the dishes delicious.
In the case of the Pad Thai, a few tablespoons of chopped peanuts are also added.

Dinner with a Thai family is a good opportunity to see how Thai people live and have a more genuine experience, as well as enjoy the menu.
It is possible to do it with Wasana through Withlocals.
The price must be updated, it depends on the number of diners in the group.
Spicy dishes
To indicate how spicy you want the dish, you can use the following Thais expressions, which sound more or less like this:
Not spicy = mai ped.
A little = nek noi (gesturing with the hands showing the index finger almost stuck to the thumb).
Very spicy = Ped maaak.

As for the curries in Thailand, in traditional cuisine the green curry is spicier than the red curry, preferably used with seafood and meat such as duck; that the yellow curry used with veal and chicken, and that the Massaman curry with which some meats are cooked.



Most popular ingredients
Fresh herbs such as coriander are added at the last moment so that they reinforce the feeling of freshness.




Finally, it is useful to know that:
» Chopsticks are that, Chinese, not Thais. Here it is usually eaten with the spoon and the fork is used to push the food. The knife is not used, the food is served so that the fork is enough to chop it, if necessary.
» The toothpicks to pick between teeth after eating are very common. Always covering the mouth with the other hand, please.
» In the shopping centres you will find the ‘food court‘ where you can eat very well for USD 3 or 4.
Tip: There is always near a 7Eleven store open 24 hours a day and they offer a wide variety of pre-cooked food, Thai-food and Fast-food. It is not recommended because this kind of food is very processed and produces a lot of plastic waste, but it can solve a lunch or dinner at any given time.
Here you will also find bananas, fruit juices, yoghurt, nuts, milk and boiled eggs, among other healthy foods.
Finally, keep in mind that these stores are the paradise of snacks and sweets that, as always, catch the children’s eyes.
