BANGKOK (The Nation Thailand/ANN): Thai netizens are disappointed after the signature dish of the Southern region “Kaeng Tai Pla” (fish entrails sour curry) was ranked in the number one spot by TasteAtlas on its list of “100 Worst Rated Foods in the World” published last month.

Their disagreement with the list has resulted in the hashtag #saveแกงไตปลา (save Kaeng Tai Pla) trending on several social media platforms this week. Many have been posting in English urging visitors to Thailand to give this dish a chance before judging by the ranking.
