How is the reception of Thai food in Poland, based on what you’ve seen so far?
PTA: I meet a lot of Polish people who have been to Thailand, have eaten Thai food, and they come back to Poland and eat at a Thai restaurant and they know exactly what they want. Even those who have eaten Thai food in Germany or in other parts of Europe, they come back, and they know what’s good. SM: My impression is that Polish people originally didn’t like spicy foods, but now it’s gradually changing. I’ve been planning this [restaurant] in Krakow for two years now, so I’ve had the time to focus on all aspects and how to achieve what I want. KP: How does Poland compare to Thailand? PTA: I like Poland. Of course, the Polish people also. When I came here, a lot of people helped me. They are very friendly. Before I came here, people at home asked me, why are you going there – it’s very cold! I said that it’s an adventure for me, to see something different. And then, you know, having stayed 10 years, of course it means that I like it [here]. SM: You told me that when you first came here
