It’s Too Hot


I love hot weather. Or I thought I did. Or it’s just too hot and should be called “scalding” instead. The weather folks tell us it feels like 111 degrees with humidity. 
We took a nice stroll around the air-conditioned mall (don’t judge, that’s where the movie theatre is). Usually we pass right on by U.S.-based chain restaurants (and Chinese-based chain restaurants for that matter) and head to the Thai food stalls where a delicious dinner is $3. But at this Dairy Queen (shout-out to my Dad for never missing a DQ) you can order a mango sticky-rice Blizzard. The small size (akin to a kiddie-size in U.S.) was less than $1. The Thais have portion sizes figured out. Anyway, Nathan says it was pretty good, not great. So the next day we headed to the night market for the real deal. Nothing beats eating mango sticky-rice at the night market. I almost didn’t notice how hot it was outside.

Seriously? Hua Hin newspaper clipping
