- 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.

Just came home from a Thai restaurant here in Singapore.
What a coincidence 😮
yeah, it does taste very good, even in Belarus you can find it now
All the way there? Wow!
@@uptin well, pretty much only in the developed places such as minsk and Grodno
My favourite Thai dishes are Khao khai chiao & Khao mu krop.
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
The influence Chinese immigrants had on the cuisines of other Asian countries is immense. Nasi goreng, Hainanese, chicken, rice, ramen, pad thai, pho, the list goes on.

Green Thai curry is my favourite. 😋
Amazing dish 🤩
I prefer Korean foods and Vietnamese foods over plainly Japanese foods and oily Chinese foods.
I wonder when Filipino food will have its time. We just planted Jollibees all around. 🇵🇭
Yep, when you see "peanut butter" in Pad Thai, run away from that establishment and never return.
Nice video. No wonder thai food in the US is so much more authentic compared to vietnamese food, especially in the non Asian area in the US
So true!
Good video Uptin
Glad you enjoyed
Good information 😻 I love Thai food
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. ❤

Kopiko in Vicenzo korean drama
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.
As vietnamese, we don't have any food diplomacy, but our food is still famous around the world. However, that cost us the hated between the people from North and the people from the South after 1975
Why did this video’s title change?
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 😘😘😘
uptin you should go to Nepal
For me Thai food best Asian food for me
Korean food and Japanese food to
As someone who is deathly allergic to peanuts, I stay away from Thai food 😅
wonderful Im hungry for more
Haha! More to come 🙏🏼
As a lebanese, Though I've eaten foods from all over the world, near east diet is always #1. From tabbouleh, baba-ghannouj, hummus, stuffed eggplants/grapeleaves/cabbage , baklava, kneffeh, burma.
Most Thai Food is super spicey
Is there enough protein in one dish of Pad Thai ?
i guess everyone has a different need for their protein consumption, but i add chicken with mine!
Phad have histoy , its name before , Fried Rice Uncle jack
love your video, but why don't you try Khmer food and visit Angkor Wat, Cambodia
Next time I would love to!
ผัดไทยไม่ได้ถูกคิดค้นโดยคนจีนมันเป็นอาหารที่แสดงความชาตินิยมเพราะผู้นำเสนอเมนูผัดไทยคือผู้นำของไทยยุคสงครามโลกครั้งที่2.จอมพล ป.พิบูลสงคราม
I love Thai food. However, my last trip was kinda disappointing. Everything was overly sweet. Even pizza hut was sweet.
Really? Which places did you visit?
@@uptin Three weeks in August, my 2nd time. Chiang Mai, Krabi, Bangkok.
Why would you eat pizza hut in thailand LOL@@ohmai3706
@rick03168 I didn't have any deserts. Of course, I realize its entirely a me problem. I came back and declared the more savory 'American Thai' food to be the best Thai food in the world. Typical American, I know.
Thai restaurants are great for people with food allergies since it's very easy to make it egg free and gluten free.
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
Love Thai food but Korean food is the best...and not the common BBQ chicken or meat as that's normal in any country but try Bimbimbap or Japjae or Gimbap or Korean pancakes. Nothing better and all super veg heavy 🎉🎉🎉
Well I've tried those as well really love it too. But honestly most Asian foods I’ve tried were really good!
Thai food is better than korean
