And what would be wrong with rain water ???
I clearly remember on one of my first tours stopping in the little alley off Bangla that has a few stalls and room was limited, so we end up plonking down next to an aussie and his tilak.. He looks up and with a superb broad aussie drawl goes "G'Day boys.. Come down for some gutter tukker have ya"..
Maybe it was a had to be there moment but it was just such a superb line and delivery it has stayed with me all these years..
The roadside stalls serve some great stuff.. Try Hoi Thod (mussels in batter fried up with beansprouts) which almost any Phad Thai stall will do.. Or Jim Jum (isaan Suki) / Gho Tok (kind of a DIY brazier affair) both of which my girl is hooked on.. Fair play to the girl I offer a nice meal out at an expensive resturant and she insisits on jim jum again and again.. at 100 baht a head I will not try to convert her
