The new school year (and my last one) has started. I finally managed to select the rest of my Thailand pictures and have prepared quite a lot for you to see on this blog. I decided to divide the pictures about food in Thailand up into two parts – markets and the food itself.

You will notice that there is not too much to say about the pictures, it is much more pleasant to just look at the colourful images of this completely different world. We visited LOTS of markets, this is why I had the chance to take lots of photos there. Close your eyes for a second before you go on scrolling down. Imagine a humid climate and warth. Your clothes begin to stick to your body and you can smell the mosquito repellant on your skin. There are lots of people around you, they are smiling and laughing. They speak a language with strange intonations and pronounciations, you notice repeating syllables like “kaa” or “naam”. You smell different spices like curcuma, cilantro and cumin, but also the rubbish rotting in the heat, the meat and fish beginning to smell lying around at the stalls.
Now look at the pictures and decide by yourself, whether you like them.

(I have no idea what this is)

Pancake love.

Look at all the spices!

Many markets contain party with boats, where goods are prepared and sold on the river.

at some of the stalls, traders sell flowers which can be seen in Buddhist temples. They are so beautifully crafted that you feel sorry about their evanescence.

For me as a vegetarian, it was creepy to see these parts of animals lying on the tables. At big markets, you can buy nearly every part of the comon edible animals and even living creatures.
Want an ear, anyone?

Asian countries are known for eating insects as well as pork, chicken etc.Let me point out that this is not comon in Thailand. Insects can be bought at tousistic places, such as Khao San Road and are sold as an attraction for foreigners. Please excuse that I refused to take a picture of fried bugs. It just did not feel right, as I want to show you the Thai culture.

Look forward to the next journey post with descriptions of my own food experiences at the other side of the world. Bue!
