#14 why is thai food everywhere?

the story behind why your local thai spot might be more about soft power than pad see ew.

you see thai restaurants everywhere, but barely any thai communities.

from istanbul to nyc, that pattern kept popping up, and i started asking why.

turns out, it wasn’t a coincidence.

this episode looks at how thailand used food as soft power and why your local pad thai might have more to do with global strategy than migration.

if you liked this, you’ll probably like what’s next.
