Eating Thai Street Food -- Selection, Price and Safety

Membership site now open: http://retirecheap.tv/members  The most inexpensive and practical food to eat while living in Thailand would be the street food. The food sold off carts parked at certain times on the streets or sidewalks. The most common Thai dishes can be found being sold this way. Costs average around 30--35 Baht per dish that comes served over rice. This food is the real fast food as it is cooked and served faster than the traditional Western fast food and much tastier and nutritious as well.

Sit Back and Enjoy Loy Krathong Chiang Mai 2011

Membership site now open: http://retirecheap.tv/members Two of the biggest festivals in Thailand are Songkran and Loy Krathong. Bangkok and Chiang Mai are two of the places in Thailand that these celebrations really are taken seriously. Seriously fun, that is!
As the full moon of the twelfth lunar month (usually in mid-November) lights up the night sky, throughout the Thai kingdom, hundreds of thousands of ornately-decorated krathong or traditional banana leaf floats are set adrift in rivers and waterways in a spell-binding ritual called "Loy Krathong" - the 'festival of lights". This is one of the Kingdom's oldest and best-preserved traditions.
The Loy Krathong tradition we know of today has evolved from the royal rituals of the early Rattanakosin period in which several types of lanterns were set afloat in the Chao Phraya River and its waterways. Sit back and enjoy Loy Krathong in Chiang Mai.
