Thai food is prevalent in America because of a soft power directive by the Thai government
Thai food is only prevalent in America because of a directive by the Thai government... in the early nineties [they] wanted to spread Thai culture as a form of soft power. And so there's Thai food all over completely disproportionate to the amount of Thai people in the United States.
This is a documented project called 'Global Thai' launched in 2002 to increase Thai restaurants worldwide.
