When there are sufficient recipes on here from that region, I'll break them down into a larger number of countries but for now it represents that sub-region of South East Asia along and around the Mekong. Countries are man-made constructs anyway and borders are meaningless in food terms, but there are slight differences which I'll get to in future

Not authentic in any way

What do you mean you don't speak Thai? You eat Green Curry don't you?
