Petite Seafood Tête-À-Tête

Thailand is one of those glorious places you can eat anything, anytime, anywhere. Recently we randomly ventured along a beach road off the beaten track – with the aim of discovering a most lonely, most isolated, most unknown stretch of coast. And place to eat. Seafood.

And we found one – one among many. A no-name “restaurant” sporting beach chairs as broken as rotten. With a big fat Thai mama in some warped kitchen-cum-shack. Born to serve glorious Thai seafood at that lonely stretch of beach only reached by an unmarked dirt road.

Kids were playing in the sea. Somewhere nearby a few Thai girls spoiled a few Thai boys with some Johnny Walker on the rocks and attempts of tenderness. Peaceful dogs straying around. And me debating should I unpack the kite. Or eat! No wind. Food was the order of the hour.

What’s the story about it? Nothing much. It’s just, once you leave the beaten track in Thailand you’ll always discover a pleasurable surprise. Ok, the help of a Garmin nüvi makes discoveries at random a no-brainer.

Politics aside, amazing stuff around here, not?
