Surat Thani — silkworm fuelled pitstop

Sura Thani is a transfer town. People come here as a middle stop on the way to the islands, Khao Sok, Bangkok or Krabi.

We only spent one night before moving on to Koh Samui and didn't do a whole lot of exploration. But the exploration that we did was mostly gastronomical.

First we tried a few fruits they had never tried like dragon fruit and a soft version of durian that I don't remember the name of.

Then we tried some fried silkworm as a snack. I was surprised to find that I liked them. Tavares couldn't mask his disgust and Jorge ate them like they were popcorn.

Then we passed some time getting random street food at the night market and topped it all off with a pad thai. Surat Thani wasn't amazing, but wasn't bad for a pit stop.Leggi altro
