@nengisuls3 years ago Thai language police to the rescue: khaaw mun gai) the ' khaaw mun' means ' oily rice' ie. The rice is cooked in the broth that the chickens are boiled in. In thai, the adjective follows the noun, so khaaw (rice) mun (oil, oily, fatty, etc) rice oily. Awesome late night food also! And, well gai means chicken: d. Next level episode paddy.

@martinj.35103 years ago Wow paddy - the difference in your mood from yesterday at the " shite walk" to today at the hills to the communist caves of betong is simply amazing! paddy - i share a funny story with you. Some years back in vietnam, i went to see the cu chi communist tunnels outside of saigon and i sweated like a pig inside them. At a certain point, they were so narrow with a low ceiling that i had to crawl like a dog. Then when there was a clearing for the exit where i could stand up - i fainted and my guide had to give me some sweet drink to bring me back. I just could not imagine how the viet cong could stay down there in those tunnels. They are built for small framed people and not for us heavy weight westerners. Your video today brought me back to my cave tunnel nightmare. I am so happy that you did not have to crawl like a dog and figure out how to move forward because it was too narrow. ...Expand 5

@melissafrye763 years ago Next level! Those tunnels and the history - it makes me want to read up on what happened during that time. I think back to world history in school an id="hidden23"d it is such a quick overview that i bet we didn' t even learn about what happened then. And then the trees too - so amazing!
