Food

 

I thought Thailand was going to be more vegetarian-based, but I was wrong. The food stalls catered to meat lovers, and I had to search for something vegetarian - but not pad thai.

 

The fruit shakes were cheap and abundant. We each had our favorite flavor.

 

Much of the time I had no idea what any of the stuff was. We bought things and tried them, and sometimes they were good, but mostly they were just interesting.

 

Most little local places served simple meals that were prepared in about 5 minutes. It comes with a clump of rice, a fork, and if you're lucky, a tiny napkin. Also, every meal comes with a surprise. It's something that you don't expect. Like you find some delicious dragonfruit in your breakfast bowl, or the fish your ordered still has eyes and a tongue.
