This is one of the major festivals in the Northeast region of Thailand, with the participation of a large number of people and tourists. The festival takes place during winter, usually in November or December, when the weather is cooler.

I have a new favourite. Yum Kor Moo Yang. Grilled pork neck cooked in a hot sauce / soup. Sauce made from fish sauce, tamarind, chilli and palm sugar (i think). No more laab or namtok for me 🙂 Honestly eating 5 of 7 nights at my local Isaan barbecue in Bangkok.

The chicken with that red spicy sauce top right is one of my favourites; along with the somtam of course. There is a little stall that sells this near my condo and one of my favourite activities is to go and get chicken, sticky rice, some drinks and just head off to Rama IX park and sit in the shade near the lake.
Last year I drove from Bangkok to Ubon Ratchatani just using a Google map A4 printout.
Getting there was easy, coming home we took the wrong road and it took forever as we got stuck behind heaps of trucks.
It was a long way to go for two nights but it was great to see how the rural Thais live in Meuang Sam Sip and wake up to the sound of chickens.

Wonderful photo Mark. If I am not mistaken the Green Papaya salad is the super spicy salad. (Well it depends how spicy you want it) The first time that i ate it in Krabi, my girlfriend ordered one with crabs in it. When i taste it i started to cry cause it was so spicy
but it was so delicious that i order one too. After i ate it i couldn’t feel my lips 🙂

Hey Tony, yah, it all depends on how spicy you order it, and there are a number of different variations!
