ONE OF the best ways to soak up a new destination, is to eat and drink like a local (often with the locals!).
And that was just what Austin Bush did when he moved to Thailand 20 years ago on a scholarship to Chiang Mai University.
"During school breaks, I'd travel the country, going to remote places, camera in hand - an effort, I suppose, to wrap my head around the place where I was living," said Bush, originally from Oregan.
He said it didn't take him long to realise "that food is almost certainly the best way to learn about Thailand".
"I was both overwhelmed by and obsessed with Thailand's cuisine, but I also found food a way to improve my language skills, meet people, and learn about the culture."
And now the accomplished photographer and author is sharing his insights, in the stunning new book, The Food of Northern Thailand - a journey into the cuisine and culture of the country's northern regions.
We have one copy of The Food of Northern Thailand to give away.
