The Best of Books, Cookbooks and Movies about Thailand www.compassandfork.com To get you in the mood for Thailand and Thai food this month, we are kicking it off by highlighting our hand-picked selection of the best of books, cookbooks and movies about Thailand You may recall we started Peru with the same type of list. We will endeavor to kick off most months in this fashion.

You can find previous months in the Compass & Fork Shop, and you can check out the list of the Best of Books, Cookbooks and Movies about Peru from last month. All books and movies from Thailand have also been added to the shop. It is worth mentioning specialty food products we mention in the recipes are also in the shop as well as any specialized cooking implements. This is true from every destination since we started Compass & Fork. We also try to link the ingredient within the recipe or in the notes so you can identify the ingredient if you are unfamiliar with it or need to purchase it.

Okay, back to books and movies and Thailand . . .

We share these lists with you as as we tend to read a bit about a destination before, during or after our travels. It helps to set the scene, immerse us in the country and in some cases put into perspective those things we saw. Books also make great souvenirs. Unfortunately some books are hard to find after you depart so keep your eyes open while you’re there. This seems to be especially true of fiction and cookbooks.

So without further ado . . .
