Eating-In-Thailand-35145

The very first time I went to Thailand was back in 1973. I was a young soldier in the United States Army and Bangkok was my very first duty station. I was there for 18 months and my first meal back in America was a Massive Mac, fries and a Coke. Times have changed and quickly meals areas dot the Thailand countryside. Every little thing from KFC to McDonalds to Pizza Hut is everywhere. They are not just in the large cities and tourist town, but exist in smaller sized towns like Khon Kaen and Phitsanulok. Granted, I am a junk food junkie back in the states, but typically in Thailand, I tend to eat the nearby meals. Actually it is Thai fast meals. I choose to eat from the regional street vendors that can have a plate ready for you in less than one particular minute. And, it is a lot cheaper and tastier than the local Burger King.

And, for my Thai girlfriend, it is a unique treat to eat from a single of the American &quot;restaurants&quot;. When I go to Khon Kaen, I enjoy to consume the fresh seafood at the neighborhood restaurants. Bar-B-Que prawn with vegetables and rice is all I need to have for dinner. My sweetie will get some oysters and papaya salad and all is good. When we are in the area and determine to remain in to watch a DVD film, she just loves to get in touch with the Pizza Firm for some pizza and chicken wings. I get the pizza and she devours the wings. Breakfasts are typically standard fare of eggs and rice with probably a sausage or two. Sometimes it will be Thai soup or a noodle dish like pad thai. Once in a whilst we like to go to a hotel run by foreigners and they have an &quot;American&quot; breakfast. Lunches are snacks for me. I like to have some chicken or pork BBQ on a stick with some sticky rice. Or, if my girl is in a excellent mood, she will drive over to KFC and grab some spicy chicken sandwiches. And, of course, she gets me the blueberry cheesecake dessert. We both take pleasure in the Khon Kaen restaurants that are about the neighborhood lake or rivers. They have these little, thatched booths with fantastic views. The meals and service is outstanding and some have a live band playing regional Thai country music.

An additional purpose I love Thailand.
