bbq red snapper with corn and spicy thai sauce: 240 baht
i'm sure this is common in tropical tourist areas, but as i've not really spent much time in such places before now it's all new to me. a stall filled with ice and fresh fish, pick your fish, and they'll bbq it for you right there.
very nicely bbq'd, with roasted corn on the cob and a spicy thai sauce. i'm starting to realize the challenge inherent in keeping this blog, as i'm running out of ways to say i liked what i ate, but let me call it delightful.
here's an after pic to illustrate the point:
apart from the food, the conversation was good too. i've got a knack i think for running into some interesting people. a canadian couple, ex-pats, living in hong kong but moving to koh samui (lucky)! and an american couple living in beijing. it's super interesting to me to hear their stories, as they're all a bit older (39 and holding i'm told), and i've considered doing the ex-pat thing myself.
in non-food news i've done my pool diving, and am about to go out for my first dive, it's super fun and i'm hoping to do a photography dive (they supply the underwater camera) and i'll upload pics when i do.

Sounds like you are having a blast - always interesting who you meet on the road!
Enjoy the dives and look forward to the pictures
Not missing a thing here - but liked the green plug!
Happy holidays

Wow the Red Snapper and corn bbq is a far cry from the exhaust dogs of your home city - good on you.
Amazing meeting up on the road isn't it?; bet some of these people you meet you'll be in touch with for many years. I'm still in touch with people I met in Europe in the late '80s.
Have a blast on the dive! Be safe and avoid the hyperbaric chambers best you can (but get pics of those if you do)
