Although popularly considered a single cuisine, Thai food is really better described as four regional cuisines corresponding to the four main regions of the country; Northern, North Eastern (Isan), Central and Southern.

Southern curries for example tend to contain coconut milk and fresh turmeric, while North Eastern dishes often include limejuice. Thai cuisine is known for its enthusiastic use of fresh (rather than dried) herbs and spices. Predominant flavours are lemon grass, coconut, ginger, chillie and a fish sauce called nam pla.
