Nong Khai

Ah the wonders of solid food. This is my first food in 30 hours except for a few bites of papaya this afternoon. Very tame pad Thai, just right although normally I would send this back for the spices.

Nong Khai is in Isan, the most laid back and sleepy part of Thailand. It is a perfect place to slow down, whether because one is getting in tune with the culture or recovering from dreadful tummy troubles.

And there is type of bird here that makes the exact noise that the roadrunner makes when he sticks out his (her?) tongue at the coyote.
