    Thank you, really interesting. I was born in Thailand in 1970 but my mother and I fled and came here to England. To be honest, I didnt really care much about my Thai history until my mother died recently, now I’ve been trying to find out as much as I can. Seemed like food was as good a place as any to start ! Anyway, I found a lot of thai food recipes here that your readers might be interested in .
