【】SEE ALSO:8 times Sriracha went too far
Thais can now buy Sriracha sauce, to see what all the fuss is about. 。
The popular chilli sauce comes from Californian manufacturer Huy Fong Foods, founded by Vietnamese-American David Tran, which has been making it since the 1980s. 。

But Sriracha -- capital S -- is entirely American. Most Southeast Asian countries don't carry it. 。
Thanks for signing up! 。
Now, Thais can buy it via online retailer Lazada. According to Huy Fong's new Facebook page promoting Sriracha in Thailand, the product will start showing up on traditional supermarket shelves, too -- likely next to the other local sriracha sauces. 。
It remains to be seen if Thais will appreciate the spicy tangy sauce, when they have a variety of competing sauces already in the market. 。
At least now they'll get to see what Americans are crazy about. 。
