Learn Thai with Ling

Hello, It's Anchisa from the Ling app here to share another story with you!
What does food say about Thai people? Everything!
In this fun and flavor-packed episode of Learn Thai with Ling, I dive into the quirky (and totally relatable) ways food defines Thai culture, from saying “กินข้าวหรือยัง?” instead of “How are you?”, to starting the next meal plan during the current one. You’ll learn unique Thai phrases, explore our anything-goes breakfast habits (ขนมจีน + fried chicken for breakfast?!), and discover why Thai people never blame the food — just how you eat it!
Oh, and did I mention Ling’s BIGGEST Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deal ever is coming? Stay tuned for that. 👀
💡 Highlights:
T🍚 “กินข้าวหรือยัง?” – Our signature way to say hi!

🥢 Why Thai people always think about their next meal

🍛 Southern Thai breakfast? Think curry and fried chicken!

😅 “ต้องกินกับข้าว” – Never blame the food, just balance it

🍜 เขาไม่กินเส้นกัน – The noodle idiom for “they don’t vibe”

🍽️ Why food isn’t just food — it’s culture, comfort, and connection
