North East (Isaan) Food
Isaan food is not only eaten in the North-east — you can find Isaan food in every part of Thailand, and in other countries, too.
Isaan food has a bold, hot taste that makes it outstanding. It brings and mixes together local ingredients — many things that to me otherwise have a mellow taste.
North-eastern Thailand is a very dry region. One food product that is very popular there is pickled fish. However, this pickled fish has gone through a process to make it have a bad, putrid smell.
Sometimes you may also see a white worm in with the pickled fish. Thai people eat picked fish with rice, especially people in the North-east. Pickled fish may have a bad smell, but once cooked, it will yield a food that is very mellow. Most people who see pickled fish will think that it is very disagreeable, and feel no urge to eat it; but if you try it, you may feel that it is very delicious and enjoy it. If you like papaya salad (Som-tam), know that there are many types of somtam.
Some types of Somtam have pickled fish as an ingredient, and others include a non-pickled fish. But most people who try Somtam that has pickled fish will like it more than Somtam with non-pickled fish. And next time if they want to order Somtam, they will order it with pickled fish only.
Pickled fish, however, is not only put into Somtam. Pickled fish is also cooked with other types of food like Fermented Rice Flour Noodles, chilli sauce, and many other Thai foods.
The most popular food in Thailand is Tom yum Kung (prawn soup); but Isaan food includes well-known soups, also. Tomsap is one of those. It includes herbs found in the North-east of Thailand that tastefully mix in, and smell very mellow. It is very much preferred by the people that try it. The other thing that you can’t miss trying is Pork roast. Pork roast is eaten with Isaan sauce.
The taste is very mellow if you eat them together. As well, there is Sticky rice; rice is the main food of Thai people, and all the people of Asia. Countries in Asia will have different types of rice, depending on national tastes and the processes used to prepare the rice. For the people in the North-east of Thailand, Sticky rice is the main rice because it is easily transported, and easy to prepare; they especially like it with chili sauce. Foreigners like Sticky rice, too.
When people eat lunch, they will eat with ten others; and they will eat other types of rice. Bangkok has a place called Rangnam Road that is popular for its Isaan restaurants. People in Bangkok like to call Rangnam Road Soi Rangnam. On Rangnam Road, there are many restaurants; and many people like to eat Isaan food when they are dining out there.
Isaan food is eaten along Rangnam Road by both Thais and foreigners. Isaan restaurants serve many different people, and some will sit outside the beautiful buildings at the side of the street.
If you enjoy eating Isaan food, you can pay a visit to Rangnam Road; but you may want to taste hotel-standard Isaan food that is quality-controlled and care taken for taste.
Prices are reasonable, along with friendly staff and a warm welcome when serving you. Please try Isaan food at Royal View Resort every day.

Banyan Tree Bangkok : Few cities in the world fire the imagination with exotic images like Bangkok. Ornate palaces that host royal processions, Buddhist temples that witness monks chanting ancient sutras, serpentine canals that lead to a maze of water markets, bazaars that never sleep – all have long proved a powerful magnet for travelers. In this sprawling metropolis, Banyan Tree Bangkok stands out as a much-needed ‘sanctuary for the senses’ and a rejuvenating spa retreat. Voted in the Gold List as one of ‘The World’s Best Places to Stay’ by Conde Nast Traveler (US) in 2005, Banyan Tree Bangkok is proud to embrace you with the legendary hospitality Thailand is famous for. Just sit back and observe the world from a distance 61 floors up in the sky.
Bangkok is the capital, largest urban area and primary city of Thailand. Known in Thai as Krung Thep Mahanakhon (Thai: กรุงเทพมหานคร, pronounced [krūŋtʰêːp máhǎːnákʰɔːn] ( listen)), or กรุงเทพฯ Krung Thep ( (listen) (help·info)) for short, it was a small trading post at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River during the Ayutthaya Kingdom. It came to the forefront of Siam when it was given the status as the capital city in 1768 after the burning of Ayutthaya. However, the current Rattanakosin Kingdom did not begin until 1782 when the capital was moved across the river by Rama I after the death of King Taksin. The Rattanakosin capital is now more formally called “Phra Nakhon” (Thai: พระนคร), pertaining to the ancient boundaries in the metropolis’ core and the name Bangkok now incorporates the urban build-up since the 18th century which has its own public administration and governor.
Since its inception as the capital of Siam, it was at the center of European Colonial plans, but due to its strategic location in Indochina, it acted as a buffer-zone and brokered power between the European forces. Through this, it gained notoriety in the world as an independent, dynamic, and influential city. And in the span of over two hundred years, Bangkok has grown to become the political, social and economic center of Thailand, Indochina and Southeast Asia.
As a direct result of the 1980s and 1990s Asian investment boom, numerous multinational corporations base their regional headquarters in Bangkok and the city has become a regional force in finance and business. Its increasing influence on global politics, culture, fashion, and entertainment underlines its status as a global city. In 2009, it was the second most expensive city in South-East Asia behind Singapore.[1]
The city’s wealth of cultural landmarks and attractions in addition to its notorious entertainment venues has made it synonymous with exoticism. Its historic wealth coincides with its rapid modernization, reflected in the cityscape and the urban society. The Grand Palace, Vimanmek Palace Complex, its thousands of temples, and the city’s notorious red light districts combine draw in 11 million people international visitors each year, trailing just Paris and London.[2]
Bangkok has a population of approximately 6,355,144 residents while the greater Bangkok area has a population of 11,971,000 (January 2008) [3]. The capital is part of the heavily urbanized triangle of central and eastern Thailand which stretches from Nakhon Ratchasima along Bangkok to the heavily Industrialized Eastern Seaboard. Bangkok borders six other provinces: Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Samut Prakan, Samut Sakhon and Nakhon Pathom, and all five provinces are joined in the conurbation of the Bangkok Metropolitan Area. It is served by two international airports, Suvarnabhumi International Airport and Don Muang, four rapid transit lines operated by the BTS, MRT, and the SRT, with plans to add eight more by 2020.
The city has been coined the “City of Angels”, “Venice of the East”, and “Detroit of the East”.
