Bugs for Sale
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
I’m guessing that she’s used to it by now but I’m wondering if this seller was kind of squeamish about working here. I know that I would!
Grubs
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F
These grubs don’t look the least bit appetizing to me. I like to think that I’m very tolerant of other cultures and customs but I just couldn’t see myself eating something like this. These lookЧитать далее
Scary Stuff
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
I think that I’d have to be starving to eat these bugs. Those pincers look so big and hard and I can even see little hairs growing out of these insects. How can anyone think of these as food?
Centipedes
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
I’m thinking that it must be a cultural thing because there’s no way I could ever imagine myself eating something like this. Something like this just isn’t food where we’re from. These areЧитать далее
Meat Mountain
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
We saw this huge pile of pork meat being sold all over the night market. At around two feet tall, this gas got to be the most insane street food that I’ve ever seen. It’s covered with lots ofЧитать далее
Corn on the Cob
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
I always enjoy a good ear of corn, and was tempted to get one, but it looks kind of bland. I don’t see any salt or butter to put on it and, without that, the corn wouldn’t have much flavor.
No More Chicken
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
The chicken must be the most popular variety because it’s sold out here. I’ve got to admit, given these choices, I would have picked the chicken also. When food is sold on sticks like this, why doЧитать далее
Not Crowded
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
Here’s a wide angled look at the night market and it doesn’t look very crowded at all. Even if we wanted to sit and eat something, there’s plenty of room at the tables. I really like that theЧитать далее
Coconuts
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
These coconuts seemed to be everywhere we looked. We saw lots of people buying them and then walking around drinking the coconut water through a straw. We tried that already, when we first arrived,Читать далее
Fresh Fruit
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
I really love taking pictures of neon signs, probably because the phones are able to photograph them so well. The colors are always right and vibrant with lots of color saturation. I’m always happyЧитать далее
Pants
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
Kathy is trying to find a pair of pants like this to wear as pajamas. They look very loose and comfortable but, so far, she hasn’t been too pleased with the colors or the quality. She’d like themЧитать далее
Kung Thep Seafood
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
Here’s some more neon that I saw. I like this one even more than the fruit sign because it’s so much more elaborate. I’m hoping that we see some more nice neon signs before we leave.
Outdoor Dining
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
This is the dining area of the Kung Thep seafood restaurant. Although it’s outdoors, everything looks so clean and welcoming. The foods look very tasty also.
Agitation
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
I’m not sure what the point is to shake up these sodas. I don’t drink soda, but I know that when they are agitated, they will explode violently right out of the bottle when opened. Why wouldЧитать далее
Baby Squid
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
I’ve seen lobsters and, sometimes, crabs sold this way but squid is a new one. Do people really want to pick out their own squid to eat? What would they even base their choice on? Picking theЧитать далее
Souvenirs
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
It’s kind of early to start shopping for souvenirs right now but it was interesting to take a look at what they had. I liked seeing so many elephant inspired items. I’d like to get an some sort ofЧитать далее
Fried Insects
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
This is the second stall we’ve seen selling fried insects. I had no idea something like this was so popular in Thailand. One stall would have been just a curiosity but more makes me think friedЧитать далее
What a Bargain!
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
A small cup of these insects will only set you back 60 baht. That’s around $1.85 in American dollars. I’m guessing that’s a reasonable price but I’d never be able to finish a cup of bugs, notЧитать далее
Tasting
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
I decided to be very bold and do something that I’ve never done before so I tasted one of the bugs. It looked like a small grasshopper or a cricket and while it was very crunchy, it didn’t reallyЧитать далее
Bags
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
I love bags and these really caught my eye. I love the patterns and the bright colors! Kathy bought a few of these to bring to her friend, and neighbor, back home. I’m still debating about if IЧитать далее
Wandering Around
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
As we continued walking around the night market, I could still feel tiny pieces of the bug I ate between my teeth and around the inside of my mouth. I guess it’s because of the hard shell like bodyЧитать далее
Need A Haircut?
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
I had thought that the night market was essentially a place to buy foods and souvenirs but, apparently, you can get a haircut here too. I kind of wish I needed a haircut. Getting it in a place likeЧитать далее
Neon
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
I’m a big fan of neon signs and I love how well they always come out in pictures. This sign is for a seafood restaurant and the bright vibrant colors make the place look so inviting!
Magnets
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
Wherever our travels take us, I like to pick up a few magnets for our refrigerator back home. They are very decorative and also provide us with some great memories whenever we’re in the kitchen.
Roti Girl
2 ноября 2024 г., Таиланд ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
I’ve read about Roti, the Thai street food snack, shortly before coming to Thailand and I’m really eager to try it. Should I get it from this stall?
