thai spicy salad (finally!)

no english name: north end of moon muang road chiang mai
- thai spicy salad: 30 baht

oh my buddah i've been waiting to try this! i'd been holding off since i wanted to make sure i went to a good authentic thai restaurant and it takes some time travelling to recognize the better places frequented by locals. this was an awesome meal, great spice and great seafood (surprising this far from the coast i guess), the first meal so far to give me that spicy runny nose that you don't care about because it's soooo good.

Hope the trip is going well. Things are very interesting at Bay and Wellesley.

Your light control on the photos is amazing and the food looks scrumptuous.

Edward Steichen said "The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each to himself. And that is the most complicated thing on earth."

I think you're living up to that in your photos.

So some over 10,000 people died building the bridge on the river Kwaie and railway (where you're headed) and there's a Disney installation there of some sort or another. So, my request, try and capture that pivot/cusp point image between the massive graveyards and the Disneyficated areas (oh, and more spicy Thai salad pics please).

Happy trails Gastreker. Brady
