Thai Dinner story by nine
Get to know Thai Dinner
For Thai people, Thai dinner traditionally did not mean just to have meal in the evening. It meant the happy time when all members of the family joined in together to taste delicious homemade food as well as to sit and talk about all the day’s happenings. It was time of great joy to feel the warmth and love of families. The same tradition is carried on until present time.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_single_image image=”3150″ css_animation=”fadeInUp” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” border_color=”grey” img_link_large=”yes” img_link_target=”_self” title=”Thai Dinner” img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]
Thai Dinner for City Life
Although time passed by and life style has changed, Thailand still has a very strong food culture, which is very special and unique. However, single and married women in the modern world have to go out and work, so it is almost impossible for them to find the time to cook. There is a more convenient way to suit the modern life style, that is to buy cooked food from the markets, road side food stalls or street restaurants. On working days, it is such a common sight to see everyone carrying plastic bags full of cooked food on their way home. At weekends, people would have more time to cook dinner, or on some occasions would go out for dining at restaurants with the whole family.

Thai Dessert
It is not usual for Thai people to have desserts after meals, only occasionally when they go to restaurants.
The Thai people are very social people in general and eating is something they like to do together. Normally Thai people would eat in groups, either with families or friends. One would rarely see a Thai person eating alone. Also, unlike eating European meals, there is no specific meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner in Thailand. Thai people would eat whatever food they want. They can eat fried rice for breakfast, noodles for lunch and curry for dinner, or the opposite way round. It is very easy for them to eat spicy meal for breakfast, which foreigners find this so amazing.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_single_image image=”3146″ css_animation=”fadeInUp” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” border_color=”grey” img_link_large=”yes” img_link_target=”_self” title=”Kai Yang – Grilled Chicken” img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]
