I bought your book and it is great help for our trip to Bangkok next month, We both love Thai food and we usually always order 5-6 different dishes first evening to enjoy the flavour of Thai, Our favorites are Pla Pakong nuung manao, Laab moo, Tom yam kong, Som Tam but the more isaan style i think with crabs and bad smelling fishsauce sorry about the spellings but i think you understand My girlfriend is from the philippines, i cant find any movies from the Philippines are you planning go there?

Hey Jim, thank you so much for taking the time to watch my videos and read the comments. I agree with you too, chicken is a great food. As for airline food, I normally just eat it, due to hunger, not the greatest, but I think overall many airlines have improved their food over the last few years. Korean Air for instance served bibimbap - I think that's my favorite airline food so far. Thanks again Jim

Som Tam is a very popular dish in Thailand and one that everyone must try at least a few times to get used to its unique flavour. Usually it is rather spicy so make sure to eat with sticky rice

Hey Lee, I haven't spent too much time in Chiang Mai, but one thing you definitely need to eat is a northern sausage known as sai ooah and also a curry noodle dish called khao soi. Enjoy your trip

Thank you Christa, Thailand is a great country, and some of the greatest food is served at street food stalls where the vendors are humble and become experts at what they cook.
