GuestHouse Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 The only ingredients of Somtam that are native to Thailand are the fish sauce, the shrimps (and if included, the field crab). Chili, Papaya, Peanuts, Tomatoes and Cane Sugar are all non native to Thailand. ---- Black Pepper (Prik Thai) is not Thai but originates from Southern India. ---- Prior to the arrival of Chili and Pepper to Thailand - Thai food was not spicy.

PhilHarries Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Thailand's national flag, ceremoniously raised each morning at 08.00 hrs and lowered at 18.00 hrs in every town and village, is composed of five horizontal bands of red, white, and blue. Outer bands of red representing the nation enclose equal inner bands of white evoking religion. The blue band, occupying the central one-third of the total area, symbolizes the monarchy. The harmony of design expresses the complementary nature of these three pillars of the Thai nation. The tri-colored flag, first introduced by King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) in 1917, replaced an earlier design which featured a white elephant on a red background.
