Can anyone compare Thai food to more familiar cuisine?

Question

What cuisine does it taste the most like.

Answer 1

For someone who has no experience with Thai cuisine - you could say that it is like Chinese, but with more noodles and spices.  In general Thai cuisine is hotter than most other Asian cuisines.  Thai food is very diverse as is Chinese, so view this as a very general description.

Answer 2

Indian

Answer 3

I would say it's close to indian food.. the curry and all... =]

Answer 4

I lived in thailand close to vietmanese food but curry is not the only thing on menu    drink a singhs beer with it !!!

Answer 5

It's a mix between Indian & Chinese food.  Similar to Malay or Indonesian cuisines.  Thai food uses alot of coconut milk & peanuts (so beware if you have allergies).  It's one of my favorites, go try it --- I am sure you will love it.  It has a wide range of tastes, flavors & textures.
