As I'm sure you're aware, there are many varieties of Thai rice and the best 100% Jasmine rice is fine with. Thai food, but nowhere near as good if you are eating say an Indian curry where IMO only basmati rice is good enough. The problem here in Thailand is that basmati is about three times more expensive than Thai rice, so it will never be popular here.
And why is it more expensive "Protectionism"
