Week 4, I guess: Enduring the Durian

Krua again.  How many plates can we fit on the table? 

I had considered starting a blog about Thai bathrooms instead.

But it was too creepy.

Burrz on the beach.  Guess whose book is whose?

I mean, with Tamarine Sauce is the only way to have Tiger Porn really.

The only way to get the durian flavor out of your mouth...Ginacas! (Although this solution is only effective for, like, 30 seconds.)

Week 3ish: Surrender to the 7-11

There's no polite way to say this...

...Chocolate covered dildo-shaped cookies. (Sorry for the creepy face)

Teenage mutant ninja frogs.  These two dudes snuck into our bathroom through the manhole every night.

Take away from Krua Kritsana...heck yeah.  Included is, like, 10 sauces and spice packs.

One side is Tom Yum flavored, one side is shrimp and green onion.  Soooo good.

Krua.  Again.  They know how to do vegetarian in Thailand.

One bucket of margarita please! The only strong cocktail we've had and it had to be bucket-sized...

I think half of Thailand survives on top ramen...oh, what's that in my noodle cup?

Oh!  How convenient!

Better in theory than in practice.

Our favorite restaurant on the island happens to be a 5 minute walk from our hostel.

What a tease.

SPECIAL FEATURE: The Magic of 7-11

7-11 is like Starbucks--there's one every other block.  Usually directions to anywhere are "Just past the 7-11" or "Across from the 7-11."

Yeah, they have that in Thailand.

It's much less appetizing when it still looks like cuttlefish.

It looked good before I read the label.

What kind of wiener will you have today?  The footlong spicy looks slightly more seductive than the rest.  I don't know why...

They will even microwave it for you (in their footlong microwave), slice it up and serve it with a skewer.

The hot dog just looks boring now.

And there's more!

Gettin' toasty with toasties on the beach.

They even have panini makers at every 7-11 behind the counter and will gladly toast your toasty...I mean, it wouldn't be a toasty without it.  (Seafood pizza flavor and an accidental hotdog cheese toasty)

Week 2: A Spicy Souther Sojourn

Thai cooking class: Spicy fish cakes!

Thank God for Greek expats: one of everything on the menu for $10. (Cheesy potato balls, tempura mushrooms, hummus, fried pita, tzatziki, fried onion balls, feta, tempura squash at El Greko)

Hello Kitty tuk-tuk.

"Set breakfast": We had this like every day for a week. (Curry dahl with naan, corn, pineapple, potato cakes, eggs, toast and jam at Somewhere Else Hostel)

Cuttlefish flavor.

Not only is this a toothpick but it is an "Alcohol Free Wake Up! Energizing Towel".  How do I unlock its energy?!

Gotta have a Bloody Mary any way we can. 

Stir-fry tentacle soup.

The proper assembly and preparation of Thai spices.

Not as spicy as it advertises. 

I'm a good wife!  One is supposed to be able to find a good wife by the sound of her curry pounding.

Becca's Tom Kha is better than mine.

But mine is prettier.

Cutey patootie behind our finished curry paste.

Notice that I threw in the ingredients in  before she finished the countdown.  

Scalding knuckle hairs to prove it.

Becca's fishy cakes. "We first eat with our eyes."

[Refer to Becca's first blog post.]

We decided to skip Pee-Pee Island.

A day at the market.

Yeah, that's barracuda.

Get to the market early or your fish sticks will be cold and chewy.

Not to be confused with the liquor stand.

I don't remember inviting you onto our kayak and offering you our bag of fruits.

Monkey don't give a shit.
