Dinning out. Thailand for centuries an Asian crossroads, owes it's rich culinary art to the cuisines of India , China , Malaysia , and Indonesia . The success of this country's cuisine lies in the blend of 4 basic tastes – salty, sweet, sour and pungent – which form a wide range of flavours. However, foreigners must note that chilli is amply used in a number of Thai dishes. So if you are trying Thai hot food, watch out for the little chillies or ask the chef to make the dish less hot than usual.
