A study on Bangkok adolescents’ attitudes toward Thai food, using the symbolic interaction theory
Keywords:
Thai adolescents, Thai food, AttitudeAbstract
According to Thai national statistics, Bangkok is where overweight and obese adolescents—with ages between 15 and 19—were most prevalent. This is an interesting phenomenon since Thai cuisine is considered as one of the healthiest cuisines in the world. In this study, in-depth interview data from 15 Bangkok adolescents were collected via a simple random sampling technique. The data was then analyzed using the symbolic interaction theory. The result showed that the sampling symbolizes Thai food as ordinary, while the other cuisine as special.
