Quotes about Thai food

“As the capital, Bangkok is naturally the first city that comes to mind when people think of Thailand, and as the centre of government, Bangkok does represent the entire country.

Often the quantity of meat and the frequency with which it appears are a function of expense rather than principle.“ — Nancie McDermott
