Prayut says Thais should prefer rice over bread

“We should preserver Thai culture of eating rice instead of teaching Thais to eat bread,” Prayut said during his weekly TV programme Friday night.
He quoted Her Majesty the Queen as saying that eating rice would not cause the people to become fat if they eat it in a proper amount.
He said foreign athletes now eat rice as source of energy while Thais have started shunning rice.
“I would like to promote Thais to eat rice and would like the entire global populations to eat rice,” Prayut said.
