There's an entire universe of amazing dishes once you get beyond pát tai ('pad Thai')
and green curry, and for many visitors food is one of the main reasons for choosing
Thailand as a destination. Even more remarkable, however, is locals' own love for
Thai food. This unabashed enthusiasm for eating, not to mention an abundance of fas-
cinating ingredients and influences, has resulted in one of the most fun and diverse
food scenes anywhere in the world.
Thailand is the world's third-largest exporter of rice and in 2012 exported 6.9 million tonnes of the grain.
