What does food say about Thai people? Everything!

In this fun and flavor-packed episode of Learn Thai with Ling, I dive into the quirky (and totally relatable) ways food defines Thai culture, from saying “กินข้าวหรือยัง?” instead of “How are you?”, to starting the next meal plan during the current one. You’ll learn unique Thai phrases, explore our anything-goes breakfast habits (ขนมจีน + fried chicken for breakfast?!), and discover why Thai people never blame the food — just how you eat it!

Oh, and did I mention Ling’s BIGGEST Black Friday Deal ever is coming? Stay tuned for that. 👀

💡 Highlights:

• T🍚 “กินข้าวหรือยัง?” – Our signature way to say hi!

• 🥢 Why Thai people always think about their next meal

• 🍛 Southern Thai breakfast? Think curry and fried chicken!

• 😅 “ต้องกินกับข้าว” – Never blame the food, just balance it

• 🍜 เขาไม่กินเส้นกัน – The noodle idiom for “they don’t vibe”

• 🍽️ Why food isn’t just food — it’s culture, comfort, and connection

Why do Thai people float baskets down rivers once a year… and why does everyone keep singing the same song? 🕯️🌊

In this sparkling Loy Krathong special, I'll talk about one of Thailand’s most beautiful festivals — from ancient river rituals to the candlelit vibes of modern celebrations. Discover the story behind พระแม่คงคา (Phra Mae Khongkha), learn Thai phrases like ขอขมา (ask for forgiveness) and ลอยกระทง (float a krathong), and find out why couples hope their krathongs don’t drift apart 😅

💡 Highlights:

• The real meaning behind Loy Krathong

• Thai vocab you’ll hear during the festival

• The full moon tradition and its cultural roots

• Why people float away bad luck — and nail clippings

• How to sing (or fake-sing) the classic Loy Krathong song

Light a candle, make a wish, and float into Thai language and culture with us! 🪷✨
