Keep Them Cool
What do Thai people keep in their fridge? Filmed at a café during a power cut at home, this lesson explores ten things you’ll often find in a Thai refrigerator, and why Thailand’s hot climate makes keeping them cool so important. You’ll hear about chocolate that starts melting as soon as you leave 7-Eleven, desserts made with coconut milk that spoil quickly, chilled watermelon, skincare products, children’s medicine, and even cash! Plus, find out why so many Thai kitchens have a forgotten corner full of half-used limes.
