It consists of rice cooked in coconut milk, with salt, sugar, cumin, fenugreek, ginger and shallots. This type of rice is suitable for fish curry and chicken curry.

» When you go to Ang Thong province, you have to try the phadช Thai at Wat Khong Khoong. Or the grilled snakehead fish at the Chao Plook junction. If you go to Ratchaburi, you have to try all kinds of dishes at Fah Sai restaurant, neua tom (boiled beef) at Baan Singh. If you go to the Pran Buri river mouth in Prachuap Khiri Khan, then the seafood at Udom Pochanakarn is a must. To try the seafood at Klong Khon in Samut Songkhram, you must do so at Gaysorn restaurant. Going for seafood at Bang Taboon in Baan Laem, Phetchaburi, you have to do so at Lare Lay and Rub Lom restaurants.

Most people will also probably know that Thailand is one of the major producers of cane sugar in Asia.
