Things I love about Thailand...

• Yellow polo shirt Mondays --- every Monday vast numbers of Thai people don the yellow polo shirt, a sign of respect for the King. I don't think there is any place on the planet that respects their monarch as much as the Thai do. What they think about the prime minister and other government might be a different story. But the people genuinely LOVE their king. And they haven't loved every king, just the 5th and the 9th (the present).


• Banana pancakes with chocolate sauce and condensed milk --- sliced bananas fried inside a crepe-like pancake. Liquids on top. These babies are less than a dollar from street vendors.


• Mango and sticky rice --- with coconut milk... need I say more?
