  • The Thai Government opened up thousands of restaurants around the world with one goal: Win friends in politics and tourism. So, 20 years later, I'm seeing how their efforts have turned Bangkok into the world's most visited city and how countries can use food for diplomacy.

    Bangkok, the most visited city on the planet by international arrivals (Source: City Index by MasterCard), is the city of skytrains, skywalks, skyparks, skypools, skybars!!! and even a golden temple in the sky (Wat Saket). Come fly high in this exciting metropolis. For those who haven't been, think NYC but tropical and Buddhist 😘😘😘

    Its crazy how immigrants can change a country in a few years , chinese immigrants started to arrive in early 20th century in thailand and influenced the thai culture and cuisine so much(at least on the surface) that it hardly feels like one of the historical centres of indosphere same can be seen in other southeast asian countries with varying degrees

    Yes, pad thai is definitely a thai dish originate in Thailand created by a thai Priminister name Phiboon in 1939 promoted from 1939 -1942 during ww II
    & yes it was cause of rice shortage because we had bad flooding as well as he want to promote thai identity at the same time, he also changed our country name from Siam to Thailand as you know today
    the last source that you mentioned about pad thai is not originate from Thailand is totally incorrect information
    actually after ww II Thai people did not suffer rice shortage so they went back to eat rice & curries again but in late 1960 -1970 tourists started visit Thailand which made pad thai became popular among foreigners that how pad thai came back in our thai restaurants again

    Uptin I love your video ! You really did a great job 👏👍 on this one. As an Indonesian , we also have Gastro diplomacy as well in a form of "Indomie" (Indonesian Noodles brand) and "Kopiko" (Coffee candy). Indomie influenced a lot of african countries and in Nigeria , they used it for political leverages in one election. In some african countries, indomie became one of the reasons for people to get HIV because african teenagers were paid as prostitutes with a box of Indomie.
    Kopiko candy gained a lot of spotlight as well, Kopiko was brought to the space by Nasa astronaut so they can enjoy coffee. Kopiko also promote their products in Korean drama like Netflix's Vicenzo and other korean dramas
    It will be interesting if you can make videos about Kopiko and Indomie. People rarely talks about Indonesian form of gastro diplomacy. ❤

      That's a bad example of gastro diplomacy. Instead of kopiko and indomie it will be so much better if Indonesia push rendang, rawon, gado gado, or other traditional dishes as a form of gastro-diplomacy.

      There are street food restaurants where you can order Pad Thai, Pad see ew or Pad Ka Prao. Thai people call it Aharn Tam Sang restaurant. Aharn is means food, Tam Sang is means as your request. The cook can cook in your way if you want it, such as increasing or decreasing the spiciness. Increase the amount of rice Don't add some vegetables that you don't like. Or even order Pad Thai without the noodles.😊

    "Thai Green Curry is not supposed to be Sweet."
    It should be salty with just a hint of sweet from palm sugar. 😌
    Thai cusine is on a sweeter side lately which is not authentic and unpleasant. 🫤
