00:06From street food to fine dining, Thai cuisine has become a part of Doha's culinary landscape.
00:12Just the sheer activity of food gathers people.
00:16When you meet up with someone, you go like, let's have a coffee.
00:18When you want to catch up with someone, let's go for dinner, go for lunch.
00:22It's never, let's just go and talk, you know?

00:46hospitality.

01:14to mix and understand more about each culture.
01:17So anywhere you go in the world, food, food, food.
01:20Sometimes understanding begins with what's on the table.
