Eating In Thailand

The first time I went to Thailand escorts was back in 1973. I was a young soldier in the United States Army and Bangkok was my first responsibility station. I was there for 18 months and my very first dish back in America was a Huge Mac, fries and a Coke.

Times have changed and fast food places dot the Thailand countryside. Everything from KFC to McDonalds to Pizza Hut is everywhere. They are not just in the big cities and traveler town, however exist in smaller towns like Khon Kaen and Phitsanulok.

Given, I am a processed food junkie back in the states, however typically in Thailand, I tend to eat the local food. In fact it is Thai junk food.

I choose to consume from the local street vendors that can have a plate ready for you in less than one minute. And, it is a lot much cheaper and tastier than the regional Burger King.

However, when I am in Thailand for 3 or four weeks, eventually I give up and have to have some burgers, fried chicken, or pizza. And, for my Thai partner, it is an unique treat to consume from among the American "dining establishments".

When I go to Khon Kaen, I like to consume the fresh seafood at the local dining establishments. Bar-B-Que prawn with vegetables and rice is all I need for supper. My sweetie will get some oysters and papaya salad and all is good.

When we remain in the space and decide to remain in to view a DVD film, she just likes to call the Pizza Business for some pizza and chicken wings. I get the pizza and she feasts on the wings.

Breakfasts are usually basic fare of eggs and rice with maybe a sausage or 2. Periodically it will be Thai soup or a noodle dish like pad thai. From time to time we want to go to a hotel run by foreigners and they have an "American" breakfast.

Lunches are snacks for me. I prefer to have some chicken or pork BBQ on a stick with some sticky rice. Or, if my girl remains in a good mood, she will drive over to KFC and get hold of some hot chicken sandwiches. And, naturally, she gets me the blueberry cheesecake dessert.

We both take pleasure in the Khon Kaen restaurants that are around the local lake or rivers. They have these little, thatched booths with great views. The food and service is outstanding and some have a live band playing regional Thai c and w.

So, Thailand has the very best of both worlds. You can get anything from a pizza to a cheeseburger, or fried rice and noodles. Terrific food and incredibly rates. Another reason I like Thailand.
