In recent years, the bilateral relations between China and Thailand have been continuously strengthened, and the two sides have established a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, and have also carried out all-round cooperation in trade, agriculture, railways, food, flood control and drought relief.

China and Thailand are working together to gradually expand the bilateral trade volume, and the high-speed rail agreement signed between China and Thailand will further deepen the economic cooperation between China and Thailand, as the depth of investment continues to advance.

Mr. Ding also analyzed the foundation of this country, "from the perspective of Thailand's own development, according to the standards of the World Bank, Thailand is already an upper-middle-income developing country, Thailand implements a market economy, opens to the outside world, relies more on overseas markets, pays attention to foreign trade, although it also has its own many problems, but China sees the country's development potential and its own strength when choosing partners, China's 'Belt and Road' is to unite and develop countries along the road as much as possible, and join Belt and Road Initiative. ”

"This is a great feat across the era, although it was first proposed by China, but China does not want to be just a solo performance of one country, but China is willing to join hands with the countries along the "Belt and Road" to develop, cooperate, interconnect, to develop the economy, improve the lives of the people along the country, and jointly create a better future, after the "Belt and Road" initiative was proposed, it has been responded to by many countries along the road, and Thailand has also joined the "Belt and Road", willing to cooperate with China. ”

"As long as the general direction is correct, in the process of cooperation, we can negotiate. ”

"Let's not mention this, but first tell me what was your impression of Thailand before you came to Thailand?"

Zhou Sen smiled, "When I think of Thailand, I think of elephants, and I think of shemales." ”

Teacher Ding smiled, "Yes, in fact, our Chinese people are not familiar with the country of Thailand, just know some scratches, we are more familiar with Japan and South Korea, China has introduced a lot of Japanese and Korean TV dramas before, and young people are influenced by TV dramas and are more familiar with Japan and South Korea." ”

"As for Thai dramas, there are not many TV dramas imported from Thailand in China, maybe young people can see some Thai TV dramas on the Internet, but they are not very impressed, and they are not as good as the Indian song and dance films imported from China. ”

When it comes to Indian song and dance films, Zhou Sen is also very touched, "Yes, I have also watched Indian TV series and movies, Indian songs are very joyful, although many areas in India are still very backward, in our impression there are many Indians, many people sit on the train, densely packed with people, not even the door, this is a very dangerous thing in the eyes of us Chinese." ”

Teacher Ding smiled, "The situation in each country is different, let's not discuss India for the time being, I'll take you to dinner!"

"Have you ever eaten Thai food before?"

"When I brought my family to travel, I ate, but the travel time was limited, that is, I stayed for a week and left, and I didn't go to many places, so I didn't know much about it, so I asked Mr. Ding to give us a detailed introduction. ”

Mr. Ding took Zhou Sen to a Thai restaurant, where the name of the restaurant was written in Thai, the restaurant was very Thai, the roof was very pointed, the interior of the restaurant was decorated with orange and yellow as the main colors, and the table was pale green, which looked clean and tidy.

"Just sit here, I'm very familiar with the owner of this restaurant, I often come to this window seat, no one will disturb us, we can look at the scenery outside the window, enjoy the afternoon leisure, I asked the waiter to bring the menu, you see what you want to eat?"

"Good!"

Teacher Ding waved to the waiter, who was very polite, greeted with Thai etiquette, and handed over the menu.

The menu is available in two languages, one Thai and the other English.

Zhou Sen looked at the colorful dishes on the menu, which were very good-looking, and he smiled and said to Mr. Ding: "The menu leaflet of this restaurant is well designed, and the pictures look very attractive, I am not an expert, and I ask Mr. Ding to explain it to me." ”

"Okay!" Mr. Ding took over the menu, "Thai cuisine, also known as Thai cuisine, Thai cuisine has four major cuisines, namely Northern Thai cuisine, Northeast Thai cuisine, Thai Chinese cuisine, and Southern Thai cuisine, reflecting the different geography and culture of Thailand, and the ingredients used in various places are often the same as those in neighboring countries." ”

"Thai cuisine is characterized by a balance of sour, spicy, salty, sweet and bitter flavors, and the ingredients are mainly seafood, fruits and vegetables, and their signature dishes here are Tom Yum Gong, which is commonly known as hot and sour seafood soup, tender chicken soup with coconut milk, pork neck curry fish cakes, green curry chicken, charcoal-grilled crab, charcoal-grilled shrimp, mango fragrant rice, etc. ”

"Thailand is a tropical country near the sea, where the climate is hot, rainfall is abundant, sunshine is abundant, green vegetables, seafood, fruits are extremely abundant, and it is also such a climatic condition, Thai people love sour and spicy food. ”

"You have just been to the five Central Asian countries, and unlike those landlocked countries, the five Central Asian countries have no sea area, so their main food there is mainly beef and mutton, roast mutton, milk, and cheese, while Thailand has sea areas, fishermen can catch fish, shrimp, crabs and other seafood, and the ingredients are richer. ”

"The people of central Thailand love soft rice, and the people of northern Thailand love all kinds of sticky rice, which they traditionally knead into small circles by hand and eat with various sauces. ”

There are also some popular dishes influenced by the Burmese, such as a pork curry made with ginger, tamarind and turmeric, a curry soup made with egg noodles and meat, chopped shallots and lime slices, curries in the north are generally milder than in other regions, and there are many local specialties, such as a spicy pork sausage and crispy pork rind. ”

"Thailand is not far from Myanmar, so it will also be influenced by Burmese cuisine, and some neighboring countries will be influenced by each other's customs, history and culture, and these influences will also be reflected in the food. ”

"So we study these neighboring countries not separately, but together, not only to see the characteristics of each country, but also to see the commonalities of several nearby countries, for the study of the 'Belt and Road' is to learn and use, we are here to build a bridge between China and the countries along the road, in order to understand each other, to lay a good foundation for interconnection,' The Belt and Road Initiative, a great initiative, is cross-era, its role will be extended to many years, or even a hundred years later, to see the effect, countries work together to create a better future, has been the aspirations and beautiful vision of the people of all countries, need a lot of workers to work hard, to contribute. ”

Listening to Mr. Ding's explanation, Zhou Sen sincerely admired and nodded in agreement.
