Catering to Homesick Swedes: Finding Flavors of Home in Thailand

[Article from STEP Magazine "Swedes Catering to Swedes" Vol. 8/No. 3, June 1999]  

In June 1999, Step Magazine showcased the delightful phenomenon of Swedes catering to Swedes in sunny Phuket. With over ten restaurants serving up comfort food like meatballs, herring, and other culinary essentials, homesick Swedes found their taste of home right in paradise. At that time, Phuket was a popular destination for around 120,000 Swedish tourists, marking a significant increase of almost 50% from 1997. Since then, the palate for Swedish cuisine has expanded, with many restaurants offering beloved dishes that evoke nostalgia for those far from home. 

These eateries became cherished havens for anyone longing for familiar flavors, creating a unique culinary bond between Swedish and Thai cultures. Thais have warmly embraced these Scandinavian tastes, making them a beloved part of the local dining scene.
