BANGKOK, April 3 (TNA) – The Department of Health warns of food poisoning and diarrhea, caused by consuning stale food in summer season as foodborne bacteria can grow faster in warm temperatures.

 

The department’s director-general said the temperatures in summer rise to 35-40 degrees Celsius in Thailand and as high as 43 degrees Celsius in some areas.

 

Food tends to spoil more quickly in summer when microbes (bacteria and viruses) can grow faster.

Always amazes me how Thais at home rarely put uneaten food in the fridge, but leave it out for next day. A few extra degrees of heat from 33c to 36c probably not going to make much difference. Training in food hygiene at all times would make sense.

Thai's can eat anything.  Putrid seafood left out for days.  Half cooked pork balls.  Down a hot coffee in 30 seconds.  It's amazing.

Do those last two words exist in the Thai language?

In UK, I was taught, for my BASIC food hygiene certificate, that food should not be left out in room temp for more than an hour.

In Thailand they seem to have a deal with the flies to keep off the food
