Good Things to the Tourism Route 

Have you ever observed that every time we plan a trip, what is on our wishlist frequently contains a renowned local restaurant that we must visit, in addition to being an essential tourist destination or a fantastic lodging? We are frequently inspired to choose a tourist destination by the delicious meals there.

       Gastronomy tourism is regarded as an alternative kind of travel in Thailand and serves as a draw for foreigners interested in Thai cuisine to visit the country before they can use the proceeds to support the nation’s rural economy and food production. Many local communities now place a high priority on promoting culinary tourism by using local foods to launch tourist routes that welcome visitors from all over the world.  

Gastronomy tourism in Thailand will have the main forms such as

1. Touring landmarks and tasting local food is an excursion that focuses on the location but incorporates local food as part of the activity.
2. The main attraction of visiting during a food festival is the opportunity for visitors to select from a wide range of food, in which the festival typically invites renowned restaurants to participate.
3. Taking a cooking class is called a form that meets the needs of tourists because it is an activity taught by local people, allowing tourists to learn the way of life of that nation. 
4. Homestay tourism is a tour for tourists to experience the lifestyle of the villagers, study culture, taste authentic local dishes.  
5. Agricultural tourism allows visitors to learn about the production process in the agricultural industry and feel the true ambience of the farm’s garden, opening up new experiences for visitors.
