    Salmon Lays

    May 16, 2013 /

    I somehow imagine this flavor would have come out in Japan rather than Thailand, either way, it wasn’t as bad as the salmon cream pizza I had in Tenri in the late 90’s.

    In Thai they are called san phra phum. Never seen one on top of a house before. Taken down the street from Max & Mina’s great grandmother’s house in Sankha, Surin Province, Thailand.

    Some good, some not so good. The first two seem to have been walls for a building some time in the recent past, but now just serve to host art and demarcate the boundary of this lot.

    I don’t know the name of the town because I couldn’t be bothered to look at my phone’s location.
