I come from Thailand. Its most popular dish is Tom Yum Kung. It tastes spicy and sour. It has a good smell of coconut milk. It is known to foreigners. In addition, another popular dish is Som Tam, which brings the raw papaya to pound (what do you mean when you say "brings to pound"??? I don't think that's an expression in English - do you mean that all these ingredients are mixed together?) with chilies, tomatoes, vegetables, and fermented fish sauce. It is a favorite dish for Thai people that they can consume at any time.
