Pancakes Thai style

I've just been on the phone to my 'brother' Howard Trendall. I disturbed him while he was making pancakes. What a coincidence. These are for you Howie!

Rama IV Road

Klong Toey Market

We don't get to the markets as often as we used to BUT when we do it is great! Last weekend, Jym and our neighbour Muriel went to Klong Toey Market. It is really a wholesale fresh food market with just about everything imaginable. The vendors really want you to buy big quantities so it is great to go with some friends and share purchases. It is very smelly and very hot and very noisy, all of the vital ingredients for a market.
