The world seems obsessed with Thai food, and millions of people who flock to the country every year love the tasty delicacies that are on offer. Southeast Asian cuisine has proved so popular that there are now Thai restaurants worldwide in large and small cities. There was a time when getting authentic Thai food was difficult in western countries, but this is not the case anymore. Below are some Thai foods and drinks you can get easier now and give you that taste of Thailand, without the plane trip.
Thai Sauces & Curry Pastes
The demand for Thai foods and drinks has increased so much that you can purchase everything you need to cook your favourites at home. You can choose from red curry paste, green curry pastes, sweet chilli sauce, oyster sauce, and you can also buy Sriracha sauce UK wide. These pastes and sauces are often a vital ingredient to authentic Thai dishes, and as UK retailers are starting to stock them, it is much easier to get what you need to cook authentic Thai dishes at home.
Quality Rice From Thailand
Thailand and Vietnam produce around 48% of the rice eaten globally, which is why they are collectively known as the rice bowl of the world. Thai jasmine rice is one of the best, and it can make a massive difference to a meal when you use this high-quality rice. The good news is that you no longer need to go to a specialist supermarket, and many stores will have varieties of Thai rice for sale so that you can cook an authentic meal.
Thai Fruits
Many people love the vast array of delicious fruits you can enjoy in Thailand, although getting them in the UK is not as easy. However, you can get plenty of delicious, dried fruits, and there are many options available. Some of the fruits you can get easily include:
- Bananas
- Mangos
- Pineapple
- Longan
- Guava
- Tamarind

Thai Alcohol
It is also much easier to get Thai brands of alcohol in the UK and other countries, bringing back memories for you. There are two main beers you can buy: Singha and Chang, and you will see both advertised during English Premier League football games. You can also purchase Thai whisky if you want with brands such as Sang Thip, Mekhong, and SangSom so you can enjoy a bucket or two.
