I travel to Tampere for a conference every 2 years. By the 3rd or 4th day I need alternatives to salmon, reindeer and anything with forest berry sauce. Or tar-flavoured icecream. Given the distance and cultural differences between Tampere and Thailand, the Thai Na Khon makes an heroic and successful effort to replicate Thai food as it would be found in central and north-east Thailand, all without causing the locals to suffer chillie shock.
