In 2016, Holey Artisan Bakery was the target of a brutal terrorist attack in Dhaka, Bangladesh, that devastated the country. A decade later, Holey has grown into one of the top chains of cafes in Thailand, with few customers aware of the true history of the business. Two of the founders, Porag and Lillian, have never spoken publicly about the ordeal before, or the history that brought them into a direct collision with the planet's most feared terrorist organization- until now.

![The TOP 10 Thai Foods (That Id Never Heard of Before Moving to Thailand)
Believe it or not- even after many visits to Thailand and after more than a decade of cooking and running restaurants in Asia- it turns out I knew next to nothing about Thai food beyond the stuff we find all over the world. Visiting Thailand, its those very same dishes- som tam, different colored curries, mango sticy rice- that are sold in tourist areas, and it never occurred to me that there might be so much more to the cuisine. But as it turns out...theres an entire world of tastes and flavors that havent yet found their way beyond the borders. So as we wrap up our first full year of living in Thailand, here is our list of the top 10 Thai foods that we never knew existed before we moved here!
Happy Holidays from OTR!
