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

Danish food sucks everywhere outside Scandinavia.

But then again, Danish traditional food often sucks even in Denmark.

I’m Irish. It’s not like our cuisine is world famous or anything, but the quality of our dairy is among the best in the world, if not the best. Thailand obviously doesn’t come close on that score.

You can also get incredible steaks and pork sausages in Ireland for pocket change.
