I agree with your response to Cincy. We prefer to cook most of our meals at home, but will buy meals from food cart hawkers several times each week. We have our favorites that source fresh ingredients and operate hygienically. Our home has an indoor Thai kitchen, where we do some hot plate cooking, and prepare rice in an electric cooker, but do our main cooking in our outdoor covered kitchen where we have 2 LP gas burners, and an oven. Our washer and dryer are also under the same covering π
LOL, Average Thai's cook their own meals, and do have kitchens. Not a kitchen you probably have though. Many cook over outdoor fire, some have kitchens in a back room and cook on one or two gas burners. You'll also find many Western style kitchens with built-in stoves and ovens, even full laundry. Many Thai's have no table, chairs, or Western style beds, they sit and sleep on the ground/floor. More Westerners should probably get out of their own Countries to appreciate other Cultures .
