Chiang Mai Festival of Food

This evening Sow and I went to the Chiang Mai Food Festival over nearthe big air-conditioned mall we like to go to. There were all sorts of good things to eat. Everything from pad thai, to steamed dumplings, to chicken skewers, to mango and sticky rice, and of course, fried bugs. All the booths were yellow because the whole thing was sponsored by Singha Beer. In Thai pronounced Bir Sing. All except the one little blue booth featuring Asahi Beer. They had their own waitresses though, so it kinda evened out.


There was also a huge games & prizes section.

Sow and I have talked about getting Rayluk a dog. Instead we decided to get him some dog. Ok, this isn't a dog. But beef isn't a very common dish in Thailand. They eat a lot more chicken, pork and seafood. So I think that's why this guy strung up the skeleton, to let everyone know. "Hey check it out, something different than dog!" He can't fetch a ball, but he can still fetch a good price with some sweet dipping sauce. Alright they don't eat dog, although Sow said her uncle once ate a dog. So does that count?


The really creepy thing was how he painted in an eye, so it still seemed alive. I think I'll just file this post in with the Halloween stuff. You know, the Thai's love corn, but I have yet to find any candy corn!?
