On the list of Thai priorities, eating ranks right about at the top. We Thais love to eat. My BF won't even talk to me, hell he won't even look at me if I'm hungry, because I'm a real bitch. I know it's wrong but I can't help myself. And it’s not only me, it’s all Thai women. Thai guys have more control. I don't think you can go a hundred yards in Bangkok without seeing some sort of restaurant or food stall or something to eat. And if you don't want to leave the house, just wait a few minutes and some kind of foodmobile will pass your house. I don't know how we stay so thin because we eat and eat a lot. NOBODY starves in Thailand. And the food is good. We've had about 3000 years and we've mastered the science of cooking. You can have sweet, hot, sour and salty, four tastes in one spoonful, which might sound offensive but is quit the opposite. Even though everyone can cook at least a little, in Bangkok people usually eat out everyday. With so much food around, it's cheaper to eat out than to buy groceries and cook. And it’s usually good. Plus, no dishes to wash!!! Cheap, delicious and no cleanup just makes sense to us. We like foreign food too. In one shopping mall near my house, there are 6 KFC’s. Oh how we love KFC. Also McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Subway, Baskin Robbins, Dairy Queen, Dunkin Donuts, MMMMMM! These places are ALWAYS packed. If you come to Thailand, be ready to eat, eat, eat. And while you’re at home, drop into your nearest Thai restaurant for a real treat. Believe me, you’ll like it more than boring Chinese food.
