The culture of Thailand is rich and varied, and its food a magnificent reflection of this diversity. Thailands location in the middle of Southeast Asia has made it both a crossroad and a destination for a wide array of cultural and ethnic groups. Each group, whether transitory or permanent, has left an imprint on the countrys ever changing cuisine.
