WASHINGTON DC, May 10 (TNA) – Thai restaurateurs will ask Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to promote Thai foods as soft power, especially Phad Khee Mao Kai or hot and spicy stir-fried chicken.

 

Jaturon Srirote and Sumonthita Disayawatana, owners of the Sisters Thai & Magnolia Dessert Bar & Coffee restaurant in Washington DC, said despite COVID-19, Thai restaurants were popular for their quality, delicious and affordable foods compared with other kinds of foods in the United States.

And how, exactly, will Prayut be able to promote a thai restaurant in America.

Does he have an international audience just waiting for his wise words and advice.

If you like lots of salt (nam pla) and sugar thai cuisine is for you.  Me, not so much.

If they want to accomplish anything, they might want to spell "Gai" correctly.

Otherwise, the spicy stir-fried eggs might not impress anyone.

nam pla ( fish sauce) is very pungent and stronger tasting than the Viet nuoc mam

Or your fish deep fried to the point it's tasteless, unless you like burnt oil.

Not arf.

This "soft power" mumbo jumbo harkens back to the coffee bun craze of 2006.

 

 

thai governments have been promoting thai foods for generations. Probably one of the few things they've done well, especially restaurant funding in foreign lands.

K is pronounced G in Thai. Hence Koi is said as Goi. Kob i.e. a frog is Gob and Kanchanaburi is Ganchanaburi. ????????????????
