A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand

[yinyang]

Was at Seacon Bangkae's new food court again (which I wrote home about last). Had this special combo noodles with meat dumplings from a HK stall (authentic enough) for only bt399. Too big even for 2 pax

Come evening, only had room for this Thai salad.

Great live music by a really good lady singer Kate who has done some YouTube concert on famous pop Mot Huang (no worries) by Tak Siripon. Excuse poor quality pic

Mae Nak haunting Ayutthaya motorists
Breaking News April 08, 2019 12:59
By The Nation

Ayutthaya has a ghost haunting one of its traffic intersections – and she’s doing a howling trade selling grilled meat.

Nannapassorn Chalachainanpa, 23, certainly stands out among the hawkers selling wares to motorists waiting at red lights.
She wears ghoulish makeup and holds a fake baby in one arm. Drivers and their passengers are certain they’re seeing Mae Nak, one of the most famous ghosts on Thailand’s roster of spooks.

When they realise it’s just a vendor in costume, though, most will beckon her over, share a laugh and buy some of her grilled pork and sausages for Bt25.

“I dress like this to bring some colour to the intersection, and it’s great for business,” said Nannapassorn, who’s actually in the uniform of her other job.

She also plays Mae Nak at two different tourist attractions in Ayutthaya.
“In the evening I have free time, so I earn extra income here selling grilled pork and sausages,” she said.

Catch her moonlighting act at the Wat Phra Yat intersection any day from 5.30 to 9pm.

I was taken aback seeing her photos before reading the article. Lol

I believe anyone who had visited Thailand will know krapow-moo-saab (Thai basils minced pork) rice is the favourite meal here in Thailand as its a simple dish with vegetable, meat and rice a full meal on a plate.

Another favourite that can also be found almost everywhere is khao-ka-moo or braised pork knuckle rice. This morning a friend introduced me to a shop thats very popular at the vicinity around it. Was told this shop had been around for more than 50 years.

Can hardly find this shop thats hidden behind the plants

Big pot of braised pork knuckles, smells really good
