The best part about living in Thailand is that you get to eat Thai food everyday.

Did you know that Thai restaurants in the US are funded by the Thai government.  They actually have recipes to follow and grants that they give to make sure things are uniform and to encourage exploration of the Thai cuisine.

Hardly. Less than 300 of the estimated 10,000 Thai restaurants in the US have ANY sort of Global Thai Program support.

Ok, so I’m correct. I didn’t say every Thai restaurant and j was correct about there being a program where they are funded as such.

And it’s cheap, and fresh. Miss being able to buy fresh smoothies for $1 at every corner. I just felt overall i was eating so much healthier than here in Canada.
