Thai Food

Five weeks in Thailand, I was a kid in a candy store. It was an orgy of eating and drinking. Here are a few photos that I snapped from the hundreds of dishes I tried.

Spicy Pork Rice Congee for breakfast.

Train to Kanchanaburi

Tom Buriram, my host for the weekend. He picked
me up and we immediately drove down a country
road in his truck to have Thai bbq duck. The rest was
a fantastic tour of the area including Kanchanaburi,
Erawan National Park and the farm where he's an
egronomist, developing methods of melon farming.

The incredible Kwai River with floating restaurants.

The River Kwai Bridge in Kanchanaburi.

The Kanchanaburi War Cemetary for WW II allied
POW's many who were forced labor for the Japanese
army to build a railroad through Thailand into Burma.
