COOKING A THAI SEAFOOD FEAST WITH KHAO KOR LOCALS

December 20, 2015 No Comments

It was our final night of at Saiphin’s hometown in Khao Kor, and we all knew it was going to be epic.

Nearly 20 people gathered up at Saiphin’s house as we started to prepare ingredients for our cook-up session. Prawns, squid, kaffir lime leaves, coriander root, lemongrass, garlic, chili, basil, galangal and so on–I predicted a Thai seafood feast and I was right.

Saiphin announced that we would be making three dishes that evening: stir-fry prawns with curry power, stir-fry squid with chili & basil, and the famous tom yum prawn. I can say that these three are common every-day dishes found anywhere in Thailand, whether you are at a fine dining restaurant in Bangkok or at a street vendor with sticky tables by the beach.

FRESH COLOURS OF LHOM SAK FRESH MARKET | PETCHABUN, THAILAND

November 12, 2015 1 Comment

This was the start of our Rosa’s Road Trip.

Our road trip van came to a stop. I woke up and realised we had arrived at Lhom Sak Fresh Market in Petchabun province, Thailand.

The sun had just risen, but the market had been awake for a few hours already.

First there was a light whiff of typical fresh market odour mixed with the smell of exhaust fumes from delivery motor bikes.

A few more steps forward and we were greeted by the scent of greens and spices.

SNORKELING IN ICELAND | ดำน้ำหน้าหนาวระหว่างแผ่นเปลือกทวีปโลกที่ไอซ์แลนด์

What is the most out-of-this-world experience you have ever had?

ประสบการณ์ที่ฟินที่สุดในชีวิตของคุณ คืออะไร?

Were you expecting it to be so unforgettable?

How did you feel afterwards?

My last day in Iceland couldn’t have been any better. If you are planning to visit Iceland, I strongly suggest you prioritise this over other excursions.

และประสบการณ์นั้นเปลี่ยนแปลงอะไรในตัวคุณหรือเปล่า?

My good friend Cod Starusayang said to me me “Dude, you HAVE to go diving in Silfra in Thingvellir National Park. I did it and it was just out-of-this-world–nothing like I had experienced before”. To be honest, though knowing Cod is a very well-travelled individual, I still wasn’t convinced when he told me so. Not because I hadn’t done scuba diving before and hence I would only be able to snorkel, but it was because I am from warm sunny Thailand and we have some of the World’s best diving spots visited by thousands and thousands of international travellers each year. Why would I want to go diving or snorkelling in ICELAND in the winter?

เพื่อนบีคนนึงบอกบีว่า “บี! เธอต้องไปดำหน้าหรือ Snorkel ที่ Silfra ที่ไอซ์แลนด์ให้ได้!!! มันเป็นประสบการณ์ที่หลุดโลกสุด ๆ แบบที่เราไม่เคยได้ทำมาก่อนเลย!!! ตอนแรกที่ได้ฟังเค้าพูด บีก็คิดว่า เอ๊า! เรามาจากเมืองไทย ซึ่งเป็นประเทศที่โด่งดังทางด้านทะเลและการดำน้ำ ทำไมเราถึงจะต้องไปดำน้ำที่ไอซ์แลนด์ด้วย?

THE BEGINNING

This was my very own sunset.

Time stands still every time I think of this darkening sky . I can still hear the sound of the ocean and feel the sunlight brushing my skin. And I wonder, would I ever see a sunset like this again?

The truth is, in my future days there will always be sunsets. Some might be somewhat memorable; some will be unforgettable. The sky, though, told me a secret: I will need to be present. I will need to be out there and feel it happen.
