The Incredible Story of Thailand's Portuguese

Now I am sure, the Portuguese were the people who most influenced the world.

I am Portuguese Canadian, There is so much to learn of Portuguese history around the world, I met someone once from Bangladesh and they shared amazing stories that I had no idea the extent of the Portuguese culture.

Proud of my ancestors ..I am Portuguese and proud of having lusitanian blood running in my veins.

A Thai here! A lot of our desserts are actually of Portuguese origins/influence, especially ones made with egg yolk and sugar, often with "thong" (gold) in their names (eg. "Foi Thong" originating from "Fios de ovos")

I am Portuguese and I can say with some degree of confidence these dishes look like the ones my grandma made, so ... I'm pretty impressed. I guess I have to go to Thailand soon

I'm Portuguese and love Thailand, it's my second home where I have lived and visited many times in the past 13 years. It's lovely to still see this strong connection after like 500 years when Portugal, the first European nation, made contact with the Kingdom of Ayutthaya.

Im from northern Malaysia..and lots of thai food also influenced us...indirectly...the Portuguese influenced us too 😊

The Portuguese heritage in Friendship, Biology and Traditions. Thank you very much, love and a big hug. We are together!

Hey im Thais, that kingdom maybe destroyed but our love for Portugal and Portugese are eternal :thanksdoc:

Awesome video! I have Portuguese ancestry, and I’m always impressed with the willingness of the Portuguese to intermarry and integrate into local communities.

Greetings from Goa

Portuguese here. Very proud of my country and its history. I hope some day i can visit that neighbourhood and taste it's delicacies.

Portuguese here! I'm always stunned by how we managed to go so far and influence so many people around the world, whilst being such a small country! This resilience is still part of our soul and seeing Portuguese culture so much present in these communities brings me such a sense of happiness

Portuguese are the original Templars and they still are. No one expanded more Christianity than Portugal!

I´m portuguese and pork roasted with potatoes is a loved dish by us...and pastas too wauuu

My maternal grandmother (who is from the Azores) would be proud to find this video out

As a Portuguese, I am so proud if my history and our influence around the world. I have visited Thailand twice, Ayutthaya too however, I must go back as I missed this area of BKK. Thanks so much for this great vídeo and greetings frm Portugal!❤🎉

I'm an authentic Portuguese and Just yesterday I cooked that chickendish with spaghetti.It's delicious and very easy to make.Step 1(4 people),cover the bottom of a recipient with olive oil,2 teaspoons of paprika powder,add 1 teaspoon of black pepper,add 2 bayleaves and some salt(taste it),dice up finely half an onion and 1 clove of garlic.put it on a small fire,glaze the onion an garlic,dice up 2 large chickenbreasts and sear the chicken,when the chicken seared add 1 glass of dry white wine,and a pint of water,let cook for half an hour if necessary add some water,if it has reduced too much,keep tasting and and keep seasoning,when the chicken is nearly cooked add the pasta and let it cook,when ready correct the seasoning ,with salt and pepper,there must still be enough sauce to cook the pasta,near the end the sauce will have thickened keep adding water and a bit of wine there must be still enough sauce to fill the bottom of the plates,enjoy,next time do the same but with rice !!cheers!!
