After 25 hours of travel from Denver (20 degrees) to Thailand (85 degrees) we arrived fairly rested. Pat started on his dental work the next day and we got down to the business of eating great Thai food. Having aThai massage everyday ($15/ 1 1/2 hr treatment) is a real treat too. The rainy season is ending but there has still been lots of rain here. The 2ed day’s rain fall broke all records for the last 30 years. The rains keep the temperature down thankfully. Lots of flooding of the streets too. Thailand is preparing for the cremation ceremony for their king ( who died 1 year ago). This is a major 2 day event with lots of pomp and ceremony. Traveling around by water taxi, sky train and subway gets better every time we are here. A new project that is underway is a refurbishing of the small canals ( klongs). Moving around with mass transit is so pleasant on the water. While Pat is at the dentist I’ve been taking Thai cooking classes. I’ve really enjoyed these forays into Thai food.

The food looks fantastic…is most of the produce local organic or is it conventional grown or importted?

Well most of the produce is grown by small farmers who use no chemicals. All over there are small markets open 6am-11am. Only fresh produce , fresh noodles ( wide flat) and fresh squeezed coconut Milk ( lasts 3-5 hrs). There are a few big grocery stores with some fruit imported from Lao ( where it’s cooler). The Thais really value the fresh organic(not certified here) food. From the ground to the pot. No food is cooked longer than 5 minutes. So pre prep is critical
