I lied. Coca Cola didn’t sponsor my blog post. In fact,
I had to pay a full 10 baht for my drink all by myself. That’s a whole
hard-earned 33 cents my soda cost me, thankyouverymuch. But look at it!
Yes. That’s Coke in a bag. They like to put everything in
bags here, particularly with liquids. It’s supposed to be healthier for the environment
or something, and certainly makes things cheaper, but I have not adapted to
carrying liquids in what I previously considered not even slightly sturdy
plastic.
Also, I’d like to note that my student Mamay is entirely
faking her excitement in the photo. She thinks that my amusement from this is
weird. But she’s a great sport and not only drags me everywhere from the Crocodile
Farm to Ayutthaya, but additionally puts up with my weird enjoyment of the
mundane things in her life.
But wait, there’s more! In this special blog post you get
not one, but two unique edibles from my past weekend. After all sugar always
goes best with… more sugar!
Welcome to Thailand’s version of cotton candy. I believe
the name is roti sai mai, but I only know that from Googling it. It’s some sort
of spun sugar. Generally enjoyed wrapped in a weird crepe-esque thing. It’s
similar to eating straw. It has a weird dry straw-like texture when you eat it,
but it’s so appealing. I can’t explain it. And who doesn’t like eating straw
wrapped in pastel pink and green crepes? Exactly.
