Raising a family in Thailand // Documenting Issan food, culture, music, and people
We had cool weather during our entire trip back home to Southern California. Coming back to Thailand was like waking up every day in a slow cooker. During the hot days, many cats just lay down on their backs and enjoy a long siesta until evening. Well, maybe not just cats.
Excellent balance of flavors and clever use of banana leaf on flat plate instead of bowl. Sometimes the classics need a reboot.

Even in the land of endless beaches, this is a special one.
Mad props to this guy… Dickon mos def.
As a side note, these retro color scheme (yellow on black) license plates in CA are super popular, but seem strange to me when put on new cars.

Bonus shot: Ultra dope station wagon in the Costco parking lot.
At a pond full of turtles and one giant carp.
LOL!! Look at this happy boy!
Olé, krup!
To be precise, fish tacos and non-papaya tam variant.
To be even more precise, deep-fried Nile tilapia tacos with corn and bird’s eye chili salsa and long fak bean tam.
Tacos always get my inner Mike D going:
He said, “Can I get some?”
I said, you can’t get none!
Had a chance to run
He pulled out his shotgun
He was quick on the draw, I thought I’d be dead
He put the gun to my head and this is what he said
