Jun, P'Maiy, and Ajarn Suthep picked me up at 7:30 pm tonight to head to Nakhon Chaisi to get their popular pad Thai. A woman cooked over coals (most street vendors have gas stoves) and fanned her bamboo fan to keep the fire going, as her daughters cracked the fresh eggs with the edge of their fork, just a bit, and then scrambled them with fish sauce and handed the eggs to their mom to add to the noodle dish. They then ran off excitedly with the empty shells, to go paint them. On the way, I missed a great photo op of a truck bed full of filet pigs. It is pretty common here in Nakthon Pathom (being the capital of pig export) but there must have been at least 30 pigs slaughtered open, full to the top...No plastic wrapping covering it or anything, just fresh cut pigs, going for a ride in the hot humid Thailand night. Sometimes people just sit on top of them and go for a ride as well.
