Northern Thai food that tourists from all over the world must try

Northern food is considered another interesting food region because the menu is diverse, whether it is curry or chili paste. The highlight of Northern food is its distinct and distinct taste. Sugar is not usually added, mostly relying on the sweetness from the ingredients used in cooking instead.

In addition, some vegetables can only be found in the northern region because the northern region is mostly mountainous, so there are many vegetables and herbs from the forests, such as water mimosa, taro, banana stems, sweet vegetables, etc., which results in a curry paste that consists of only a variety of herbs.

Northern food is usually eaten with sticky rice and chili paste, such as Nam Phrik Num, Nam Phrik Ong, and many types of curry, such as Gaeng Ho, Gaeng Khae, Gaeng Hang Le, etc. Due to the weather in the North, which is mostly cold, the characteristics of the food are different from other regions of Thailand. Most northern food has a lot of fat, such as Nam Phrik Ong, Gaeng Hang Le, Sai Ua, etc., which helps keep the body warm.

In addition to savory dishes, there are also many sweet dishes that are delicious and unique to the North, such as Kanom Kan Nam Oi, Khao Tom Hua Ngok, Kanom Kluea, Kanom Lin Ma, Kanom Pad, Khao Withu, Khao Nuk Nga, Khao Kaep, and Nga Tam Oi, etc.
