Thai restaurants abroad have become a powerful soft power tool for Thailand. No matter where you travel in the world, you can find Thai restaurants on every corner. Thai food has gained immense popularity and international recognition, making the Thai restaurant businesses a source of pride for the country.
The Ministry of Commerce revealed that Thai food has gained global acceptance, evident from the rankings by renowned websites that placed Thai cuisine as the 8th best in the world.

This is a testament to the popularity and success of Thai restaurants abroad, generating revenue for entrepreneurs and widely disseminating Thai culture.
The popularity of Thai restaurants not only creates income for business owners but also promotes Thai culture in an accessible way, making Thai restaurant businesses one of the most powerful soft power tools for the country.
