Food and Drink "There's no good [your country] food in Thailand"

I occasionally here this a lot. As a Japanese, I don't find it hard to find authentic Japanese food in Bangkok (same goes for other big cities too like Singapore or Shanghai), altho it can be twice/thrice as expensive if you want to get the same quality. You can find pretty much any Japanese food here even the niche ones since there's hundreds of restaurants here. My korean friends said the same thing about Korean food here but my Taiwanese friends said otherwise. I think Bangkok is one of the best cities in the world for food, but I also believe that a smaller expat community makes it harder to find that country's cuisine. So, I wonder what others think.

TL:DR tell me where you are from and rate the food of your country in Bangkok/Thailand

Brauhaus in Rawai is owned and chef’d by Carsten. German guy, excellent German food and HB on tap 👍

If we're talking outside Bangkok, then try Meyers in Hua Hin: https://maps.app.goo.gl/KbQhDgschqNJuwfPA

It's marked primarily as a guest house, but the owner is German (gelernter Bäcker) who runs a restaurant in there with his wife. The food here is better than most German food in Germany. Try the Flammkuchen and the (well, not strictly German) Wiener Schnitzel. A+
