Thai Seafood
Thailand is not only a kingdom of fruits but also a kingdom of seafood. Anyone who has experienced Thai seafood will readily agree to its great variety, savoury taste and sweet smell. A secret of seafood deliciousness lies in its freshness.
As Thailand has a long coastline and Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket and many other cities are close to the sea, fresh supplies of fishes, crabs, prawns, lobsters, oysters and other shellfish are always available and all eaters will find them most palatable no matter whether they are gourmets or just ordinary diners.
Seafood dishes normally are offered at most Chinese restaurants. In Bangkok, the areas where there are a lot of seafood restaurants are Yaowarat (Chinatown) and Silom.

Many Thai fruits are available all year round. However, the period when fruits are on sale in great abundance and variety is from May to July.
