THAILAND
From fragrant food to pungent streets, from sweet fruit shakes to brightly coloured temples and iridescent seas, there’s nothing dull about travelling Thailand.
Whether you’re in Bangkok, Chiang Mai or on an island you’ll find traditional fruit shakes: a delicious blend of fresh fruit, syrup, ice and a sprinkling of salt, they’re the best local refreshment. Choose a tropical blend of banana, mango, dragon fruit and pineapple or opt for a straightforward single-fruit shake. Keep an eye on the salt shaker, sometimes locals can be a bit too generous on the traditional amount for a traveller’s palate and it can ruin the experience. Packets of freshly diced fruit are also common and a kebab stick is used to stab the fruit and pop it in your mouth.
