@kaetaa @kaetaa Nope haven't, wouldn't recommend Pattaya unless it's one of the islands near it. Do recommend Hua Hin though.

@Tribit top 3 food u had there?

@kaetaa too much to name to make a top 3

so many great snacks too

Get some Thai Sausage (it varies per region which is really neat, every part of the country has their own variation some snackcarts sell them all), Thai Grilled Pork on Skewers called Moo Ping

Try some Thai traditional Roti ChaoFa that's a popular Roti from Phuket

it has a lot of Thai curries to choose from to go with it

Since you're in Phuket try the Southern Thai Traditional Fried Chicken too

@kaetaa These are the top 2 markets to get food and snacks from, you need at least three hours just to explore Naka Market

@kaetaa Krapao Moo Krob is also a great dish

also make sure to choose restuarants, food carts that are clean and busy

but you probably know that already

TomYum, Khao mun kai, Khao kaa moo, Khao moo dang and most if not all cafeterias/restaurants you come across in malls are the most safe&clean. Go there first to prepare your stomach for Thai food, but if you can handle it go to street food right away.

@kaetaa Obvious food to try for the first time is Pad Thai

<:thonkang:327933449597878312>

green thai curry is best curry

Always like the jap style, others are too thin

@JHWH This is a fact.

the best curry is the dollar store curry powder i put in my rice because i'm a poor student eating rice and beans

👌

whaitto piggu go homu!!

<:kms:327934280619655179>

Ironically piggu in Chinese means butt

pigu*

I call my gf pinguo pigu all time because her ass is so tiny

@kaetaa don't forgot to say thanks in Thai, kob khun krab

fuck you I choose Trad Nationalism

"kinda like richard spencer mixed with david bowie" lol

Honestly the same problem everywhere, globalization of staple foods and a mass market towards them means farms are increasingly less profitable. You can do things to adjust to market but the same young people who might be able to do that are moving away in droves.

yeah and gubbermint subsidies to make it cheap in the first place, but not sure about this. might be a leftist narrative

It's strange how the right wingers in the boonies hate the federal government

likewise with the water policy (at least in California)

most farms in the US would be big ag if not for government subsidies

M8, most farms are big ag

The subsidies is what feeds it, do you think a logical government would pay people NOT to grow corn to drive up prices or rule in favor of patenting seeds while not allowing cases where heirloom growers get thier crops wiped out by contamination with terminating hybrid lines?

Or how about mandating that a farmer CANNOT grow his own feed as that would violet interstate commerce?

The government is working hand in hand with big ag to kill the small farmer and make them the only source of feed, if you think banks are too big to fail how about seed companies that literally control the only viable seeds that keep people fed?
