Foods not to be missed in Thailand!

Some of the local Thai delicacies... Mangoes served with glutinous rice (sticky rice) and coconut milk... my favourite! The ones on the right are fried lobsters (I think)...

Visit to Hatyai

The main mode of transportation among the majority of Thais, besides the pick-up truck. Who needs a car when you can carry your wife, the kids, and the groceries for the whole week on a single bike?

Even blondes love it...

I dont know what do you call this in English, but we usually call it a "toot-toot". You gotta take a ride in this when you're in Thailand. This baby can blaze through the traffic and get you to your destination in no time. The fare's a bit expensive if you're a foreigner though... and you really need to hold on tight cos there ain't no seatbelts.. The closest you'll ever get to a safety feature would be the passenger sitting next to you, who would somewhat cushion the impact in the event of a collision..

It's not brand new, and it doesnt have air-conditioning, but it'll get you there...

For some reason, it seems that the buttocks of an elephant are treated as a separate entity from the animal itself. In this particular case, the elephant's ass even got its own name, Surin.
