A Versatile Dip: Thai Seafood Dipping Sauce
.
🦐🦑🦀Not being able to eat without strong flavor, Thais always look for dipping sauce that goes well with that specific dish. For seafood, Thais opt for Thai seafood dipping sauce that is a little sour, salty, sweet, and spicy in taste.
.
Judging by its looks, you can tell by the number of chili flakes that the sauce is gonna be ‘zab mak mak!’ (so deliciously spicy!)🌶️

Loy Krathong is a festival celebrated by the Thai

Loy Krathong is a festival celebrated by the Thai people on the full moon night of the twelfth month of the Thai lunar calendar. In the modern calendrical system, this event usually occurs in the month of November, though the date varies from year to year. Regardless of the exact timing, Loy Krathong is always considered as an occasion for joy, gratitude, and new beginnings.
The term “Loy Krathong” is derived from word “loy” – meaning “to float”- and the word “krathong” – which refers to type of small, floating religious offering. True to its name, the highlight of the festival is the floating of krathongs across small and large bodies of water all over the country. The objective for this act is to show reverence towards Lord Buddha and the Goddess of Water (Phra Mae Khongkha).
