One of the prominent seaweed dishes in Thailand is "TOM JUD SARAI" (meaning mild seaweed soup). This is an oriental style soup which features Pyropia species, and can be eaten in restaurants throughout Thailand, not just in coastal areas. Fresh Pyropia is consumed in areas of production, and a dried one (cultured Pyropia) is imported from China and sold in local marketplaces in areas distant from the ocean.
