The afternoon with Chatty

I have recently been going to a sushi bar near my house and the gentleman who owns the establishment is Thai. He was kind enough to have his mother who still lives in Bangkok come and meet me to show me around town a little bit. Her name is Chatty and I can not say enough nice things about her! She picked me up from the hotel and we drove for about 30 minutes to a quiet area of Bangkok and this amazing open air restaurant. The food was spectacular! Whole roasted chicken, papaya salad with caramelized peanuts, grilled pork with tamarind sauce and a super amazing pork spare rib lemmongrass soup. An extra cool thing about lunch was that I was the only white guy there. It was sort of fun to see people sort of looking at me in surprise. I sort of felt like I was taken to a private club, it was very cool. It wasn't over there however. Chatty presented me with a cool little gift. She had made me home made sweet mango and sticky rice. Complete with home made coconut sauce to go on it! Okay so by now I am in hog heaven and my gut is expanding at an awful pace but there was one last stop to be made. She took me to a tailor in a quiet little neighborhood where I was to be measured for a new suit. A little bit more than I wanted to spend but I am really looking forward to have a custom suit. A great day by all accounts and it is not even 6 pm yet.
