It’s a blog first, peeps: I took the photo!
On a phone!

Thailand Food Exploration: Nam Oi
I think of juice (in moderation) as something healthy. I’ll glug down some of my favourite Bramley apple, then plonk the glass down with a satisfied thud declaring “that’s one of my five a day”.
But when the juice in question is sugar cane juice, even I begin to have doubts as to whether all juice is such a good thing.
Thailand Food Exploration: Roti Sai Mai
Ah, candy floss. Sticky sickly friend of children and guilty nostalgic treat of adults.
Not in Thailand. Here, candy floss, or something very much like it, is wrapped up in pancakes and devoured by all ages as a toothsome snack.
Thailand Food Exploration: Pla Krob
As much as I enjoy the occasional fish and chips, Thailand beats the battered, breaded and grilled delights of New Zealand or the UK hands-down (for me, at least) with its deep-fried fish.
Thailand Food Exploration: 129 Baht Buffet
On a previous visit to Thailand, one night we ate out at the “99 Baht Buffet” (on the Pattaya Thai Road, Pattaya, behind Big C). The name was a real tongue-pleaser, as was the meal (…too much?).
On our recent trip the price had risen to a less mellifluous 129 baht, but the food was still as good, and at £3 a head, wonderful value.
The proceedings start (oh yes, this is no simple setup) with an alarming charcoal brazier being set into your metal table. This is then topped with a shallow metal bowl with a raised hole in the centre, to which is added a conical slatted metal hat.
