I spent a lot of my vacation time in the dentist chair, this left my upper jaw numb a lot of the trip and sometimes a little bit uncomfortable. So the best thing to eat would be soup and I really like soup. I like most thai soups and I've tried all kinds. I split thai soup into two types clear soups like the Pho soup from Veitnam and the second type being all other thai soups. Having read this you now know I'm not much of a food know it all. I just eat what I like and that's a lot of soup.

The soup you see above is made near soi Buakao and soi Diana and it used to be my first choice for this type of soup, that has all changed after this trip. Most of the time I'd get out of the dentist chair and back to the hotel by 4pm and would be drained. I'd be so wore out that I'd be sleeping by 530 or so. I'd wake up around 1am ready to go. After a cup of coffee I'd hit the street looking for something to eat. During my early morning ventures I found a soup place that by 0300 was still going strong. There'd be a line waiting to order and most of the tables would be full. Well, you know the old saying, if the locals like the place it has to be good. Well in this case it holds true. More on this place later.

If you want to try a close second and you can't go wrong with the soup pictured above just head down soi Diana. Once you come to soi Boukaow look straight, you'll see a family mart on your left and a 7-11 on your right. Walk straight ahead right between the two stores and you'll see the soup vendor on your left shortly after the family mart. Order your soup and enjoy, you'll want to thank me afterwards.

See ya later.
