It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop… ~ Thai Proverb HE SAID... Today we were continuing to explore the tranquil city of Chiang Mai. I woke early and used the quiet morning stillness to proofread and edit a work-related quotation request we’d received hours before leaving Australia, and one that I so desperately wanted to finish. We ... read more

This blog documents the feeding of our travel addiction - one country at a time. Travel is an essential part of our life, and we'll continue to travel until our addiction wanes (which probably won't be in this lifetime)! The more we travel, the more we see; and the more we see, the more we understand that we know so little - which is a brilliant thing. We love the little corner of south eastern Australia we call home, but we are at our happiest when throwing ourselves into a new adventure and experiencing new cultures. Rather than doing round-the-world trips, our preferred style of trave... full info

Have you been weaned off pad thai?
Oh my, two photos of khao soi! One of the reasons why I hate getting dragged into discussions about Thai food with Americans is that they seem to think pad thai is eaten at every meal and with curry.

Rant aside, I hope you experienced the Lao version of khao soi after you made your way over the border. Back when I visited Laos in 2017, I certainly was surprised when the bowl came!

Re: Have you been weaned off pad thai?
Haha pad thai is a firm favourite and always will be! And we've found that it's not a bad idea to have steaming hot / just cooked noodles in the first few days in Thailand... until our tummies adjust to things. Khao soi is close to one of my most favourite northern Thai dishes! I'd really struggle to pick between that and a jungle curry.
