The protagonist in this story, is from Thailand, who is talking about how her culture allow people to think that they are right, when truly, they are wrong. For the most part she travels to different places like Chicago, New York and has various dealings with people who believe they know more about Thai culture, than she does. She is  conscious that they are wrong but it is rude to correct someone in Thai culture, even if the other person is incorrect. She tries to make sense of why people are now obsessed with Thai culture and its cuisine. People try to tell her about Thai food and what is authentic, but the food that is so called “Thai food” is not made with the right ingredients and right way. Instead the protagonist just accepts it however they perceive it as. She speaks of different experiences throughout her life and how they try to tell her about food, religion and the culture that she fully understand and even though she is be told false or misguided information, she just says thank you.
