    The Portuguese first arrived in Thailand (then Siam) in 1511 – more than 500 years ago – and began an international relationship with Thailand, the first Western country to do so. The Kudichin neighborhood (Portuguese village) was established before the city’s official founding. In this village, you will have a chance to try Sappayak, a rarefied snack: minced pork, Thai chilies, and potatoes sprinkled with tamarind and stuffed in a soft Portuguese-style bun. Don’t miss this place if you are an exotic snack lover.
