available at the grocery stores in Bangkok.
This list would change frequently as
would the prices of the items. Some
of the western items available in Bangkok
include Prego Spaghetti Sauce, Oreo
cookies,Taco seasoning mix, Betty Crocker
packaged cookies, cake and brownie mix,
Ritz crackers, Campbells soups, and
a wide selection of familiar breakfast
cereals. Of course, rice is always available.
There
is a good variety of fruits and vegetables
available.  Familiar
produce such as potatoes,carrots, cucumbers,
beans, watermelons, pineapples, apples,
oranges, bananas, and more are readily
available.

 Thai
food is internationally famous. Whether
chilli-hot or comparatively bland, harmony
is the guiding principle behind each
dish. Thai cuisine is essentially a
marriage of centuries-old Eastern and
Western influences harmoniously combined
into something uniquely Thai.
The
characteristics of Thai food depend
on who cooks it, for whom it is cooked,
for what occasion, and where it is cooked
to suit all palates. Originally, Thai
cooking reflected the characteristics
of a waterborne  lifestyle.
Aquatic animals, plants and herbs were
major ingredients. Large chunks of meat
were eschewed. Subsequent influences
introduced the use of sizeable chunks
to Thai cooking.
Must
try Thai Dishes include Pad Thai, Som
Tum, Tom Yum Koong, and Kaeng Kiew Wan.
There
are also many fast food outlets in Bangkok
including KFC, Pizza Hut, Pizza Company,
McDonalds, Burger King, Au Bon Pain,
Deli France, Dunkin Donuts, Dairy Queen,
Sizzler, and A&W.
