Night Market Binders

After 3 full days at the Four Seasons, which is really easy to do, we decided we needed to venture out a little. It worked out great when the concierge told us there is a night market on Fridays, known as the Walking Street, in the Fisherman's Village of Bo Phut just about 25 minutes from our hotel. This got me excited immediately. If you can grill it, fry it, wrap it in something, put a sauce on it, or make make it spicy... chances are I wanna eat it. We got in a cab and headed over around 5:30... A little early to check out the scene.

Just getting started

The streets are already narrow, with one entrance street hitting the street along the beach and forming a T. The carts, grills, tables with random stuff, and people make it pretty crowded and exciting. There are all kinds of bars from Aussie Rules Footballs Bars, to German Biergartens, and even some Thai style bars. The bars, and even liquor stores set up tables and sell $1.50 cocktails. For some reason we couldn't figure out, they all made mojitos. Best of all, of course, there is a ton of food. There was a Pad Thai taste test. It's awesome to watch them make it, they put the egg on the grill and cook it into the noodles. The pork skewer I ate had a pepper on it that blew my face off... In a good way. We avoided the grasshoppers, though I was tempted. All in all a fun night, that really made use feel like we were truly in Asia.

Pad Thai for $1.50

Just ate the pepper, not smiling ten seconds later

We just got back from an amazing day at Ang Thong Marine Park, which was incredible... Pics to be uploaded soon. About to head out for a little Birthday dinner tonight. There probably won't be any carts, but I'm sure it will be great as my WIFE set it up and I have no idea where we are going. Not a bad way to celebrate my birthday!
