Chiang Mai Thailand, 1981.

“The Bite Away”. I still have a shitload of these. At least one goes with me everywhere in my travel bag. Far better than the ‘boiling spoon’ trick we used to use in Mendocino (black clouds of death, fucking hell 50 bad bites in one minute easy).

MaMa Tom Yum Kung. Thai spicy shrimp ramen.

From a guy that has enjoyed copious amounts of Racilla in Playa Del Carmen, sipped Spirytus all night in Warsaw, pounded Bacardi 151 in Habana... home made hot tequila in Zihuatanejo, drip sipped beach made Raki in Crete, copious good & bad Lao Khao in many SE Asia mountains, and Baiju all over China (I really do hate…
