Breakfast in Thailand . . .

There is nothing quite as fulfilling on so many levels as breakfast in Thailand. Firstly, you are going to eat something, that with the exception of an egg on top, is something you would almost certainly equate to a dinner meal.
The restaurant is almost a garage and your table is on the sidewalk. The table cloth is an old vinyl billboard scrap, or a Thai soda "branded" plastic tablecloth - which is generally cracked, stained and mildly grungy looking. The chairs are of the plastic lawn-type. Regardless, your meal is absolutely delicious - spicy (unless otherwise requested, "pet-mai"), exotic, and fresh.
Your friends are sweating (because of the spices AND it's 100 degrees Fahrenheit) and joking and smiling.
It is blaringly real-world . . . . And it is heaven :)









Good morning from Phuket!
