Thai Cuisine is known for its balance of five fundamental flavors in each dish or the overall meal - hot (spicy), sour, sweet, salty and bitter (optional) - as also for its enthusiastic use of fresh (rather than dried) herbs and spices as well as fish sauce. Thai cuisine has been greatly influenced by those of its neighboring and nearby countries, especially India, China, Malaysia and Laos.

The food is widely known for being hot and spicy, since almost all Thai food is cooked with the basic ingredients of garlic, chillies, limejuice, lemon grass, fresh coriander leaf, and fermented fish sauce (nam pla) or shrimp paste (kapi) to make it salty. Though the major portion of Thai food is described as being spicy and chilli hot, it currently enjoys worldwide popularity.
