Thai food is perhaps one of the most well-loved cuisines in the world with restaurants and takeaways to be found dotted around in every major town and city across the globe, but where better to experience this healthy, fresh and flavoursome fare than in the country of its origin – Thailand.

There are five pinnacles of Thai cuisine – bitter, spicy, sweet, sour and salty – and it is customary to have dishes that compliment this variety. There is no such thing as bland food in Thailand, and this doesn’t always mean food is hot spicy, more a fine balance of fresh flavours and textures with carefully layered spices. Just in case that’s not enough flavour, there is a condiments rack to be found on every table of every type of eating establishment, typically containing prik nam pla (chillies in fish sauce), sugar, vinegar or lime, soy sauce, salt and dried chilli. All of these can be used to adjust the taste of the meal to your palate.

The population of Cambodia today is about 10 million. About 90-95 percent of the people are Khmer ethnic. The remaining 5-10 percent include Chinese-Khmers, Khmer Islam or Chams, ethnic hill-tribe people, known as the Khmer Loeu, and Vietnamese. About 10 percent of the population lives in Phnom Penh, the capital, making Cambodia largely a country of rural dwellers, farmers and artisans.

The ethnic groups that constitute Cambodian society possess a number of economic and demographic commonalties- for example. Chinese merchants lived mainly in urban centers and play middlemen in many economic cycles, but they also preserve differences in their social and cultural institutions. They were concentrated mostly in central and in southeastern Cambodia, the major differences among these groups lie in social organization, language, and religion.
