What is appealing about this image, and why we chose to display it, is that it is an accurate representation of Thai dining culture that cannot be mistaken for anything else. Although some of the elements in the image may remind you of modern times, sitting on a mattress and dining with friends and family is a common ritual that dates back to the beginning of civilization. The food is varied and was designed to be shared; such activity may have a Christmas feel to Western eyes, but it is a daily-basis activity among Thais (and Southeast Asians in general) even to this day.
