It's the same in Stockholm. Lots of Thai restaurants, food trucks and those semi-permanent wooden structures.

  One interesting thing I have noticed is that Thai food in Sweden (or at least Gothenburg) tastes almost nothing like Thai food in London. I wonder how much 'foreign' cuisines adapt to match local expectations.

    The worst is Vietnamese food in Stockholm, it taste nothing like Vietnamese and tries to imitate local thai tastes. And that makes me so sad because I love Pho but I have yet to find a good one in Stockholm. I also wonder why people buy sushis in a thai restaurant here, they are usually much worse than in real sushi restaurants and equally expensive. Maybe it's because the different persons at the tables disagreed on which food to buy but still, what's the next step? Selling pizza and Kebab in chinese restaurants?

      How authentic are the fresh spring rolls? I really like those.

    I think that depends where you go in London. As with nearly all foreign cuisines, London tends to have some of the best 'authentic' examples of Thai food and some of the most heavily adapted examples... It's the same with Indian (some excellent restaurants and some very British, cream-filled takeaways), Italian, Mexican and definitely Chinese food. I assume it's at least partly down to many of these more exotic cuisines having been introduced to Britain earlier than much of mainland Europe, resulting in them being more heavily adapted to local tastes.
