and learn Thai a little bit every day.


In this episode, we dive into one of the most familiar meal types for Thai people: กับข้าว (gap khao) — commonly seen as ข้าวราดแกง (curry-on-rice). It’s the ultimate everyday food in Thailand: quick, affordable, flavorful, and found on almost every street.


You’ll learn:


  • What “กับข้าว” really means and how it fits into daily Thai life

  • The difference between ราดข้าว (served over rice) and แยกกับข้าว (served separately)

  • How Thai people use the phrase “ซื้อกับข้าวกลับบ้าน”

  • Popular dishes like แกงเขียวหวาน, พะแนง, ไข่พะโล้, and หมูทอด

  • Why กับข้าว shops are essential — from busy office workers to families at home


👀 What you’ll gain as a Thai learner:


  • Everyday vocabulary used in food stalls and local markets

  • Cultural insights into eating habits and how Thais mix and match their meals

  • Useful phrases and expressions that go beyond the tourist guidebooks


If you’ve only tried Pad Thai, this episode will expand your world — and your Thai language — through the dishes locals actually eat every day.
