It has been here for decades — Israel&rsquo;s long-standing Thai agricultural worker community brought real home cooking with it, and a generation of Israeli backpackers came back from Khao San Road wanting <em>pad thai</em>, <em>som tam</em> and green curry that actually tasted like the trip. The result is a Thai scene that is broader and deeper than any other Asian cuisine in the country: Carmel Market alone has a cluster of tiny Isan kitchens, and you will find a Thai restaurant in almost every city from Nahariya to Eilat.</p>
