Adventures in Thailand

1. Sabai Dee – “Hello!” Close to Thai
2. Khop Chai – “Thank you” Also close to Thai
3. More conservative than Bangkok – Then again, it’s not hard to be more conservative than Bangkok..
4. Cheap! Everything is cheap.  I’m eating for an average of $2 a meal, and eating well.  A large Beerlao is $1.
5. French – Language, and a ton of French restaurants.
6. Friendly – much like Thailand.
7. Quiet – unlike Bangkok.
8. Cold – I was almost shivering one night.
9. No Starbucks!  - But plenty of other cool mom and pop coffee shops
10. No McDonalds, Burger King or any other American fast food chain.   Fast food is a noodle cart.
11. Beer Gardens on the Mekong – really relaxing to watch the sun go down over the river.

I really like this place.  I think it would be a wonderful place to be posted.  I can’t wait for Mer to get here so we can go check out all the restaurants everywhere.
