Restaurants - Thai Style

Almost all restaurants outside of Bangkok are the outdoor type. You and a host of insects sit down to a wonderful selection of foods. We are eating fish, chicken legs (complete with claws), and sticky rice (kao niao). Most of Thailand eats jasmine rice, but the people of Isaan eat a different variety which has the consistency of oatmeal. You wash your hands by using buckets of water over outdoor sinks. This restaurant featured slices of lime to help remove the smell of the fish. Our supervisor, Khun Sura, is shown washing his hands after the meal.
