Sukhothai Night Market – “Glocal” Snacks

February 5, 2009 at 3:21 am · Filed under Culture, Food, Thailand

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Thailand’s night markets so far. Not only do I get to sample truly local dishes, I pay truly local prices!

I was looking forward to what Sukhothai has to offer.

Hmm, popcorn?

Nope. Not convinced these are “special” Thai popcorn. Next!

Hmmmmmm, donuts.

Where’s the local food?! God dammit, I’m not going to settle for this!

(continues hunt)

Hey this is promising, bet it’s a Khanom-something, but I need savoury food first.

And wait … is that, MORE POPCORN? (bewildered)

A-HA! PAD THAI! Okay, mmm not freshly made but it’s local. (buys takeaway and rejoins group)

So Julius, what did you get?

Pizza.

At least there’s “Thai” chicken floss on it.

(In hindsight, finding local dishes at Southeast-Asian night markets never got this hard again. What’s up Sukhothai?)
