When talking about Nakhon Si Thammarat, many people think of the ancient city full of history, old temples, and beautiful nature. But for mr.hotsia, Nakhon Si Thammarat is also the land of authentic Southern Thai flavors unlike any other, especially "Yellow Curry" or what locals call "Lan Saka Sour Curry," an outstanding dish I have fallen in love with every time I visit Lan Saka.

Lan Saka is a small district hidden in Nakhon Si Thammarat province but has a unique charm I want everyone to experience. With a simple lifestyle and fresh local ingredients, here you will find yellow curry with a bold taste—sour, sweet, salty, and spicy all in one bowl—clearly different from sour curries in other regions.

Lan Saka Yellow Curry: Bold Flavors from Local Ingredients

Lan Saka's yellow curry is distinguished by its bright golden-yellow broth made from fresh turmeric ground locally, mixed with rich Southern curry paste. The essential main ingredient is fresh sea fish caught by locals from nearby seas, or sometimes river fish depending on the season. Additionally, local vegetables like Chinese cabbage, Malabar spinach, or young coconut shoots add sweetness and crunch in every bite.
