Thailand has enchanted my soul since the first time I set foot there almost twenty years ago. It’s an extraordinary country where my arrival is always greeted with welcoming smiles, beautiful people, and enticing food aromas. The excitement builds as I gaze from the airplane window upon the approaching capital metropolis of Bangkok. Fertile agricultural land surrounds the hectic city: rich, green, flooded rice paddies and small farms with neat rows of vegetables still thrive in these developed central plains. The newly built Suvarnabhumi airport funnels me effortlessly onto the streets for yet another culinary journey.
