I have deep Thai roots, and I don't think the same thing really exists there. Rice is just rice, and there are both old[0] and new[1] types of popular rice that are substantially different from the "standard" steamed white rice.
Maybe someone who’s Thai-Thai could chime in

- creakingstairs 1y agoAh really? My parents bought Korean rice in New Zealand even though it was more expensive. I do think there is some form of nationalism along with deep cultural connection to rice at least in Korea and Japan. Interesting to find out Thai doesn’t have something similar.
- sampullman 1y agoIt's surprising to me, because out of all the rices, I feel that Thai jasmine rice is the one that stands out the most.
