Aahaan kap klaem or gap klaem or aharn glam lao is the Thai term for foods commonly eaten while drinking. The term "gap klaem" can also refer to Thai drinking culture.
Thai drinking culture
According to chef Andy Ricker, "In Thailand, you almost never see people drinking without something to eat."[1]: 2 According to Haaretz, a typical gap klaem meal can last three hours.[2] The term is also used to refer to the Thai drinking culture.[2]
Aahaan kap glaem, also known as gap klaem or aharn glam lao, is served in homes, on the street, and in specialty restaurants that open in the late afternoon and are open until very early morning.[1][2][3]
Foods
Many foods commonly eaten while drinking are also served as snacks or parts of a meal, but some are seldom eaten outside the context of drinking, and these are usually salty, chewy, crunchy, sour, and/or spicy, but generally not heavy or rich.[1]: 3 [2] Strong flavors and heavy spicing are typical.[2]
There are few foods specifically defined as drinking foods, and many dishes can be turned into drinking foods by adjusting seasonings and portion sizes.[2] Drinking foods are seldom served with the rice that typically accompanies actual meals in Thailand.[2]
Gap klaem is common throughout Thailand, but the foods typically eaten while drinking vary regionally.[2][4] According to chef Kris Yenbamroong, the foods typically are “something a group of people can share, which is an important aspect of it".[3] Vogue described the foods as "irresistible food that's somewhere in between a snack and a meal."[5]
Drinks
Lagers such as Singha are common in Thailand.[2] Whiskeys such as lao khao are common distilled liquors.[2]
