Everyone knows that Thai food is famous the world over, not least in Beijing, which has a crop of such restaurants as fine as can be found anywhere. Whether your dishes are chili-hot or comparatively bland, harmony is the guiding principle behind anything that emerges from the kitchen. Good Thai cuisine is essentially a marriage of centuries-old eastern and western influences, harmoniously combined into something unique to that country.

The quality of Thai food is, perhaps more than any other cuisine, dependant on who cooks it, for whom it is cooked, for what occasion, and where it is prepared. In short, dishes can be refined and adjusted to suit all palates, a routine business for Thai chefs.
This winter, the Royal Thai Embassy in Beijing, in collaboration with 20 of the city's Thai restaurants, is staging (until the end of this month) a promotional campaign billed as the "Thai Food Festival 2002 in Beijing" The festival is designed to raise further awareness of the cuisine andprovide more information about its uniqueness and nutritional value. Culture too.

During the festival, participating restaurants are running their own promotional programs and offering clients special discounts, lucky draws, and the likes of bonus coupons. Diners are also invited to complete a questionnaire from the Thai Embassy, Fill it in correctly and if you win the top prize, you and your partner will find yourselves with round-trip Beijing-Bangkok air tickets.
