Pad Thai
Thai Noodles
Pattaya, a beachside resort, is known for it’s lively nightlife and in Thailand nightlife is always associated with amazing street food. The most famous of these is Pad Thai. As the name implies, these noodles were born and bred in Thailand. Although many think the tasty noodles date back centuries, the truth is the dish is only about 60 years old. In fact it was created by the Thai government as a post war stimulus package. The noodles helped to create new jobs in the rice and restaurant industries, encourage spending and generate pride and nationalism. (Maybe the US needs a special food stimulus dish?)
