Raising a family in Thailand // Documenting Issan food, culture, music, and people
We are back in town, and all of the comforts and familiarity of home are just made so much better with one of the best bowls of noodles in town… So I bought take-out kway chap for the babies in between the last classes of the year, and this insolent cat drinking the water offering on the spirit house in front of the shop caught my eye.
Tomorrow, we have kin from the states coming, so it looks to be a special new years!
The entire lot is covered with pottery shards… What are these jars for? Where do they go? Will they be used for something, or stay here forever to be found by archaeologists who will be convinced that Chiang Mai was a center of pottery?
Today’s morning excursion is to Doi Suthep. See you at the top!
When in Chiang Mai, do as the Chiang Maianese (do).
We are in, according to one internet review, the “premeire (sic) gay hotel of Asia.” First impressions: Very nice and clean.
Feels like Nara or Kyoto. Cool breeze, too.
