Thai Food for Lunch

Today we had some good Thai food for lunch.

We had lunch at a restaurant on the ground floor of the building where I am conducting training.

I do not know the name of all the dishes or what they are, so mainly this is going to just be pictures of the food. I hope the food looks good as it was really delicious.

There was a lot of fresh vegetables along with the food.

My main dish was some chicken with a vegetable salad and some sticky rice. The sticky rice was in the box to keep it warm. It was really good.

We also shared this curry soup that had balls of fish in it. I really enjoyed this soup.

They were again all worried about ordering things that are too spicy for me. I keep reminding them that I am used to spicy food. Usually Mexican food is more spicy hot than Thai food. However, Thai food has a broader range of other spices that are often unfamiliar to people.

I also had a Watermelon smoothie that was really good. It was then time to get back to learning. Our training is taking place on the 36th floor, which is the highest floor where I have given training.

Which of these dishes would you try?

Overhead Wires in Bangkok

One of the interesting things that I saw on Sunday in Bangkok was a lot of overhead wires.

This is not something that I am used to seeing, so it was very interesting.

Have you seen this many wires strung across a pole?

You can see that wires are even rolled up as they hang along the way.Overhead wires, communication, Bangkok, thailand, streets

Here we see wires hanging above an intersection in different levels.

So many wires strung from place to place, adding to the urban fabric of Bangkok.
