  • OUR STORY

    A Humble Beginning with a Noble Cause

    Thai Spots is a dedicated platform born out of a simple yet profound mission: to ensure the authentic flavors and unique culinary traditions of Thai cuisine are preserved and celebrated worldwide. Having witnessed firsthand the vibrant and diverse nature of Thai food, and then the realization that these authentic experiences are often lost or misrepresented abroad sparked the creation of Thai Spots.

  • OUR STORY

    Inspired by Global Tourism

    Over the past three decades, Thailand has become a top travel destination, drawn by its rich culture, stunning landscapes and, of course, its extraordinary food. This surge in tourism has led to a proliferation of Thai restaurants around the globe. However, with this growth comes the challenge of maintaining the integrity of Thai cuisine. Many Thai dishes have been adapted to suit local tastes, sometimes at the expense of their authentic flavors.

  • OUR STORY

    Observing Culinary Shifts

    Thai cuisine's popularity means it often faces adaptation and change. While it’s a testament to its global appeal, it also risks the dilution of traditional recipes. The distinct balance of sweet, sour, salty and spicy that defines Thai food can be altered to meet the preferences of different cultures. This phenomenon is observed worldwide, where customers frequently note that Thai food outside Thailand often lacks the true essence they experienced during their travels.

  • OUR STORY

    Preserving Authenticity

    At Thai Spots, we believe that preserving the authenticity of Thai cuisine is crucial. By building awareness and educating both restaurant owners and customers about what true Thai dishes should taste like, we aim to support and uphold the standards of Thai culinary traditions. Our platform serves as a bridge, connecting Thai food enthusiasts with genuine Thai establishments that are committed to maintaining these traditions.
