Yummy…
On a quick trip to Bangkok, I got a local’s perspective walking through the streets, dodging motorbikes, vendors and dogs, with someone who was born there. Too embarrassed to play ‘the tourist’, I barely have any photos from the trip. A moment that stands out though is eating breakfast at about 8 am on our last morning there – fried fish, rice and chili sauce, made by a couple of old women in their 80s who looked like they had been doing the same thing for decades, washed down with Pepsi from a bag. Some people wouldn’t be able to stand this – I love it.

Wooo! kudos to you! For doing it the Thai way
Always! I take offense when people are surprised that I can eat chilies, put prik naam bplaa on everything, flavor my noodle soups and eat Thai salads – it amazes me how so many other tourists or expats must not try these things if people are continually impressed by what I order…
