Bangkok seems to be overrun with alleyways like this, with tables on one side and food vendor carts on the other with little room to pass between. These are great places to get a bite to eat. Nowhere near as comfortable as a restaurant but the prices are much better and the food is at least as good. There’s something magical about being right next to the place where your food is cooked and getting to smell all the ingredients as they cook away.

Another video from the good folks at Nanfeng Oranges. This time they take on Ayutthaya. I love the descriptions in their videos and the enlightened, informed way they go about their journey. I bet they would be cool folks to hang out with. If only I could get back to Thailand…

Oh my goodness. This is a little taste of heaven. You have to try this recipe. It’s incredible.

I never saw such a wrapper during my time in Thailand, so I wonder about the authenticity of this. However, it does look mighty good and is sure to impress your friends when they come over for dinner. Give it a shot!

The hotel this was filmed in, The Oriental, is probably the fanciest and most expensive hotel in the city. Nice place. I got taken there for an after-dinner coffee and dessert by some folks I met in Bangkok and was very impressed with the food and service.
