I pretty much live a western life, why is this such a big deal?

[Grumpy01]

So what's the point living in Thai then? Just stay home in china

I don't know. They seem to like the Thai seafood buffet. ????

[spidermike007]

This is not news worthy. People do this all over the world. Only the Thais would somehow find this offensive. It is not. It is what it is.

And more of it. Anything that crawls, walks, flys or swims is considered food along with inanimate objects such as anything with roots, bird nests or shark fins.

What's not to like?

[ignore it]

Not to mention he can get a haircut from a Chinese, have sex with a Chinese girl, gamble his money away with a Chinese, get abducted or killed by a Chinese gang, get arrested by a Chinese cop, and become a Thai citizen.

Hold your horses now, I'm not having this Chinese cuisine is the best in the world nonsense...

 

Have you ever been to a Chinese restaurant in Thailand serving vaguely authentic Chinese food ? Average at best and at times bizarre in terms of ingredients. Westernised cantonese style food is more palatable. I do like that. 

 

Any cuisine (looking at you Asia) whose main culinary repertoire is chucking something into a wok with a ton of oil for a flash fry (even if it tastes good) is struggling to be taken seriously in a gastronomical sense. 

 

 

Yes I have many times. 

But authentic Chinese food is better in Singapore and the USA.

If you think stir fry defines Chinese food you know nothing about Chinese food.

Bit like the Brits on the Costa del Sol who live on fry ups, fish and chips, bangers and mash, steak and kidney pies and can't talk the lingo.

Very much like.

If it makes them happy and Spain lets them stay, que problema?

[Purdey]

Just change the word Chinese for British or English and the case is the same.

How many western expats speak Thai (no need to sound offended if you do), and how many go for an English breakfast still?

 

Moreover, Thais sometimes don't know which of their dishes are originally Chinese, or Chinese influenced, like Ba Mii (บะหมี่) clear egg noodle soup, Khanom Jiin (ขนมจีน) fermented rice noodles with curry sauce accompaniments, Guay Chap (ก๋วยจั๊บ) a pork flavoured soup and Guay Tiaw (ก๋วยเตี๋ยว), Jok (โจ๊ก), a rice porridge called congee sometimes, Salapao (ซาลาเปา), steamed buns and Khao Kha Moo (ข้าวขาหมู), fragrant stewed pork with rice.

No problem at all except alot of them are now having to leave Spain due to the Brexit debacle.

And the Pattaya farang collective looked up from their full English breakfasts and demanded that the Chinaman assimilate or be sent home...

If their diet consists of that menu, they'll not be living there long.

I would imagine that a person that uses the word Chinky would not be very qualified to appreciate authentic Chinese food in China or anywhere else. 

For me, a major feature of Chinese food is it's incredible REGIONAL diversity.

Of course many countries have that, but I happen to especially love some of the Chinese regional food.

Yes, it started when Paris was besieged by Germans in 1870. Maybe people even ate rats then.
