Roadside eating houses are common place on Koh Samui, throughout Thailand and across Asia serving one dish only in a small, fit-for-purpose, unpretentious, spotlessly clean shop, usually an extension to a house or business.

Imported wines in Thailand are expensive.
This is because in Thailand imported wine is taxed as a luxury - presumably at the insistence of the fledgling Thai wine industry and big Thai liquor and brewing monopolies, regardless of free trade agreements like TRAFTA.

Bamboo plays a significant role in Thai cuisine, both in food preparation and as a cooking utensil. Bamboo shoots are a popular ingredient in dishes, especially in the North, while the bamboo itself is used to cook Khao Lam (sticky rice in bamboo).

Bananas originated in Southeast Asia.
There are 1,000 varieties of bananas globally, 20 - 50 native to Thailand.
Bananas were introduced to European and American markets in the late 18th early 19th centuries. Advancements in shipping and refrigeration technology in the 19th and 20th centuries made bananas universally known and popular.

Sticky rice is a glutinous type of rice extremely popular throughout Thailand.
"Sticky rice" in gay Asian American culture refers to the preference for dating or romantically pursuing other Asian men.
It's a term that, like "potato queen" or "rice queen," can be viewed as somewhat derogatory but also serves as a term of endearment or solidarity within the community.

Koh Samui restaurants can be divided into two categories: those catering to locals and those targeting international visitors.
1. Authentic Thai cuisine, which is a rich tapestry of flavors influenced by Chinese, Malaysian, and regional Thai traditions.
2. “Westernized” Thai dishes and international favorites like pizza, burgers, and pasta.
