The first time we came to Thailand I was too amazed at seeing all of my favorite Thai dishes on every menu and street corner, to branch out too far. Seeing things like larb moo (spicy pork salad), som tam (spicy papaya salad), tom yum (hot and sour soup), tom kha (coconut milk soup), ga-prao gai (minced chicken with basil), curry (uhh..curry), khao neeo mamuang (sweet sticky rice with mango) and satays (meat on a stick) all around me meant that not only did I know what to order, but I also knew what amazing taste sensation to anticipate when I did. After months of pointing at things to order it was a heady experience to say the least. Not to knock pointing, some great things have come from pointing. There was also that unfortunate experience of pointing to some tasty looking cauliflower only to discover it was actually cold lumps of pig fat floating in a sauce.<\/p>\n

There were not enough meals in the month that was our first visit to Thailand for me to get my fill of all of my Thai favorites I knew and loved from restaurants like Amarin Thai in San Diego, CA.<\/p>\n

It was only this visit that it hit me. I had rarely met a Thai dish that I didn\u2019t like, and there are so many other things that people are eating here! I may very well have a new favorite dish just waiting to be discovered, and I set out on that mission with a vengeance over our 10 days in Krabi Town. Tom was not feeling too well while we were there, and so he stuck to small glasses of fresh OJ and western foods he knew and loved. I compensated by trying enough new (to me) Thai food for us both. That\u2019s just the kind of selfless wife that I am. Here are some of the things I tried while eating for us both in Krabi Town.<\/p>\n
