ตำรับเมืองรอง/ Recipes From The 7 Hidden Gems

Thailand’s Central Region is considered our “Cradle of Rice and Water,” abundant with natural resources. The region has been part of Thailand’s long history of prosperity with the knowledge of its abundance handed down from generation to generation in the form of local wisdom of each community, reflecting the ways of life, customs and food culture of each province in the Central Region. Rivers flow through most of the provinces of Central Thailand serving as veins that sustain peoples’ lives, influencing the movements, culture and habits of the people of the Central region over time. The prosperity of the region is linked directly to this very abundance of water and most communities settled close to rivers, establishing an un unbroken tie between the people and the waterways. The culture of food has also been similarly influenced depending on where the people settled, similar and differing depending on their geographical locations. The flavours of the region, both savoury and sweet, are replete with stories and characteristics of Thailand. If you have the opportunity to taste the delicious local cuisine of each of the seven local treasures in the Central Region, you will be able to appreciate a part of Thailand’s culinary heritage.
