Chinese noodle dishes may have been introduced to Siam during the Ayutthaya period, but the earliest written mention of kuaitiao dates only to 1898, in the Bangkok Times.[1] The dish was popularized among ethnic Thais following an initiative of Prime Minister Plaek Pibulsonggram in 1942, during World-War-II shortages.[2][3]

Today, many variants of kuaitiao are known, including local styles such as khao soi from northern Thailand, kuaitiao Sukhothai from the Sukhothai area, kuaitiao ruea 'boat noodles' from the central region, kuaitiao liang from the East, and the stir-fried pad thai.[4]
