Thailand (Makan Maken - Eating) - Jan 2019 Part 1


A "FRUITFUL" & FOODFUL" endeavor in Thailand ! Our group had the opportunity to sample Thai western style breakfast, Thai Chinese dim sum, Thai Tom Yam seafood soup, Thai pineapple rice, Thai stewed pork leg, Thai Won Ton roasted pork noodles, Chang beer, Thai oven baked pau ….. all my travel buddies salivate when they smell & approaching near a roadside eatery stall ! So when you are in the Land of Smiles, the Thai food smiles at you - for our group coming to meal times, it was always a YUM YUM feeling - very satisfying ! So YUM to your health & enjoy every moment of your time in Thailand ! A big thank you to Boon, one of my travel buddies from Klang Valley for taking us to a number of popular eatery stalls in Hatyai. Boon can converse in some basic Thai and had lived in various parts of Thailand during his younger days.
