History
Because it was invented during the Vietnam War era to serve to United States Marine Corps and United States Air Force personnel stationed in Thailand, it was not generally found in Thai restaurants outside Thailand, but with the proliferation of Thai restaurants in the USA, American fried rice is now appearing on Thai restaurant menus there.
