Goodbye, American Thai Restaurants
No more Thai food in America for this little lady. Since returning from Bangkok, Lawrence and I haven't had the balls/ovaries to try Thai food again in America. We felt so spoiled by our time in culinary heaven (aka Bangkok street food vendor tables) that we figured that Thai food in the US would be a big disappointment.
With the beginning of 2nd year for me came the free lunch talks, serving Thai food. So I ventured. I took a scoopful of pad thai to my taste buds. I couldn't believe how "non-Thai" the pad thai tasted to me! I guess as expected, it was completely Americanized, i.e. bland.
Shortly after that first taste, my ears started to itch, the first sign in my body that I'm allergic to something I'm eating. Then my stomach started to ache. My body was physically rejecting American Thai food. I had to excuse myself from the talk to tend to my poor body in shock.
Looks like I'll have to return to Thailand to ever enjoy good Thai food again. Woe is me.

Hi There,
I came across your post when searching info and pictures on Bangkok. My husband and I are moving there and I would just LOVE to hear about your experiences etc... from someone who has been there and lived there. What led you to Thailand and how long were you there? If you would like to write us and talk Thailand and share your love for it, write me at littlewoodnymphs@gmail.com. I would love to hear from you!
