One major problem that makes cooking Thai dishes unsuccessful is choosing the wrong ingredients. In this website, CookingThaiRecipes.com, we have not only provided details and pictures for most Thai ingredients that are used in our recipes, but we also provide Thai pronunciation and Thai name for each Thai ingredient. So, it would be more accurate for our audiences to mention and to buy the right ingredients.

Please note that there are some discrepancies when we represent Thai ingredient with a foreign language. For examples, the English alphabet cannot accurately represent all pronunciations of Thai language. Thus, when we use English alphabet for Thai pronunciation, we may not say or pronounce that thing correctly. And it is confusing when you use English alphabet to refer to Thai ingredient name; there are various ways of English spellings and English word choices. Also, sometimes, there is no English word that is specific enough to represent the Thai ingredient we are looking for. Since some ingredients are not available in some foreign area, there is no word to call the thing that does not exist in that area. (It may have only generic term, but not specific term that will be specific enough to represent the right thing.) Those are the reason why the Thai pronunciation and Thai name for each Thai ingredient are helpful.
