Hualamphong railway station canteen

This is one of those places where you go to a cashier and she doles out a bunch of printed vouchers of different denominations. The food is surprisingly good and not at all expensive. I spied some good looking fish on one of the chefs personal plates but when I tried to order the same no dice and lots of embarrassed smiles all around. Oh well- you cant blame a guy for trying. 

My first breakfast in Thailand

Sunday 17/01/2010

Known internationally as the Isaan holy trinity , i am hoeing into kai yaang

 ( grilled chicken) ,  som-tam ( hot and sour papaya salad) , khao niaw ( sticky jasmine rice) and a healthy drizzling of red and green bird shit chilies in a fish and soy sauce combo. I found this street hawker opposite Latkabang soi 24 not far from the airport . Most helpful and very yummy.
