Thai cooking uses fish sauce, shrimp paste, coconut milk, lemongrass and chillies, with rice as the staple, so the flavours on the plate are built from those foundations. Many Thai islands are limestone karst, with cliffs, caves and inland lagoons shaping the landscape.
Songkran, the Thai new year water festival, is held nationwide in the middle of April, which is worth knowing when timing a visit. Thai waters support coral reefs, whale sharks and dugongs, and sea turtles nest on several island beaches.
