Types of Thai foods
According to Wikipedia's article on Thai cuisine, Thai food can be categorized as the following four categories:
- Tom (boiled dishes),
- Yam (spicy salads),
- Tam (pounded foods), and
- Gaeng (curries).
Influence of Indian and other cuisines
The Thai cuisine, (as well the Thai language which was based on Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language), is heavily influenced by the Indian cuisine with some influence from the cuisines from Malaysia & Indonesia, and China. For example, the deep-fries, stir-fries, and steamed dishes derive from Chinese cooking, while most curries and the rich spices are influenced by the Indian cuisine.
