Thai Food in Thailand
The Thai, we were told, will put anything on a stick and eat it.
And so it seemed true. Lots of street food of unknown types on scewers could be found all around Bangkok as well as at markets in Koh Lanta. Having learned a lesson of caution from our "real Sichuan" meal in Hong Kong, it took us a little while to test out the street food. We finally found a place that had English translations. That way, at least in theory, we were eating chicken and fish, not anything else. Of course, neither of us could really tell which was the chicken and which was the fish, but suffice to say that nearly anything put on a stick and fried is tasty.
Here I am indulging in some street fare. Also at this little street bazaar, you could get beer of unusual size, as seen below at the table next to ours (photograph taken surreptitiously). The beer glass actually had a spigot on it, so you could pour it into actual cup-sized cups.
