"Abstract

This paper will explore how and why particular ‘imagined’ geographies persist in the production-consumption of Thai cuisine in London, despite annual increases in numbers of tourists from the UK visiting and re-visiting Thailand. The presentation of data is drawn from the analysis of a specific set of consumers of Thai food in London and their responses to the Thai ‘foodscapes’ that have developed in the city. The respondents have previously been ‘backpacking’ in Thailand and as part of an on-going research project have been interviewed in a Thai restaurant of their choosing. Restaurants are spaces of performance, where food is just part of the discourse of the performance, along side décor, marketing material, and the performed identities of the diners and staff that work and consume within them. As a group, backpackers consider their touristic experiences to be closer to the cultures toured, than they perceive mainstream tourists to be. These experiences also encourage the belief that they are ‘taste makers’, in terms of their consumption of ‘ethnic’ food commodities relating to ‘Other’ cultures they have visited. There perceived ‘real’ experiences often derive from pre-conceived ‘myths’ produced and re-produced in tourism literature and food marketing, which are then sought out during touristic experience. This paper looks at the ways in which this process of touristic ‘myth making’ is embedded in the production-consumption of London’s Thai ‘foodscapes’. "
