and this,

drum roll please…

is quite possibly the best thing I have eaten in my LIFE!!!

and this is saying a LOT when you’re in thailand.

the food is AMAZING.

‘khao soi’ is a northern thai specialty

(sadly, as this was the last time I had it.  waaaaaaaaaah!)

a coconuty, peanuty, chickeny, fried and fresh egg noodley concoction.

I prefer just to call it…

YUM-ALICIOUS!

with a full belly, and a smile,

I sat here after dinner listening to the sounds of the river rushing by.

contentment and peace.

the magic of thailand:
