All this may be true, but part of the reason is still that Thai food is yummy and delicious! Speaking for myself, I could eat Thai pretty much every day. And luckily enough, I feel like we have an embarrassment of riches in terms of good Thai food here in the Triangle area. You've got:

YumYum in Cary

Thai Villa in Cary

Thai Cafe in Durham

Thaiphoon in Raleigh

Champa in Raleigh

Thai Palace in Chapel Hill

etc., etc. So sure, thank you Thai government, for sending all this yummy goodness our way!
