Thai restaurateurs in the United States are seeking the government's help to heighten Thai food's popularity by focusing on dishes that could spearhead the country's culinary soft power.
The call was made prior to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha's arrival in Washington, DC where he will attend the 2nd Asean-US special summit.
Jaturon Srirote and Sumonthita Dissayawatthana, co-owners of Sisters Thai & Magnolia Dessert & Coffee in the town of Vienna, Virginia, said Thai food has sustained its popularity in the US despite the Covid-19 pandemic.
