If you know, you know.
Seeing this made me want to watch True Detective S1 again.
True Detective set in rural Thailand would have the perfect atmosphere.

Inanna Summons Kenny G
So surprisingly well-done, I had to post it: IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT – Merkurius Gilded (ft. Kenny G and Max Gorelick)
File under: Black metal, Experimental metal, Avant-garde metal (ew!)
Gaeng Liang (Spicy Thai Vegetable Soup)
If I had to describe it in two words, I might say “peppery” and “fishy” – which is strange, because I hate most fishy things. For some reason, it really works with this soup, although not everywhere makes it fishy. This soup is a bit rare and old school, but I’ve found it’s an excellent indicator that you should try other less common dishes on the menu if it’s good. Places that don’t have fresh ingredients all the time won’t bother to make this.
Blue PVC is Real Thailand
And for some reason, in most of Asia, the common word for spigot seems to be, “cock.”
Celica GT
I found this beauty at one of my go-to breakfast places in town – it doesn’t serve breakfast food specifically, but it’s open from early, so you can eat whatever they make from the early morning all day. I usually order several bags of curry, stir fries, soups, and desserts to take home. But hey, I got all excited talking about food, and this is a car post.
This is an original or reproduction Celica 2000 GT liftback, reminiscent of a mini ‘Stang from the same era. It might have the legendary 18RG engine in it. I’m still heartsick about what to do with the Crown (it’s been sitting in the back lot of a nearby body shop since it got flooded), so I didn’t want to stick around and wait for the owner to ask questions. But damn, it was pretty. I generally like my cars black, black, and black, but this color really suits this car. If I found one in crustier condition, I would wide body it and immediately change the wing mirrors…
Khao Pad Moo
Pork fried rice – in its purest form, but I can’t remember how this one actually tasted. I never order fried rice outside, but Mina loves it. I prefer making it at home, unless it’s really good. I think this one was at my friend’s café out on the Maha Sarakham ring road; the food is pretty good there.
