Third time writing this, power keeps dropping, so it is likely to stay concise.
Food on the plane was pretty nice for aeroplane food, we had curry for dinner and lunch and just a croissant for breakfast. The 2nd curry looked particularly phlegmy, but it did taste nice!
Our first meal in Bangkok was omelette and fried rice cooked on the street, this was really yummy and was eaten sat on some steps at the bottom of our hotel.
Most mornings in Bangkok involved getting some fruit from the nearby street vendors, which was almost always really nice! We haven't tried durian (look it up) yet but plan to at some point.
We mostly ate street food in Bangkok but there were a couple of times we wanted to sit down and eat. The first was when we went to the wrong hotel but we ended up in a really nice cafe where Imogen had a coconut for her drink! The other time we went to a restaurant, we ended up in a really posh hotel restaurant, dress horribly and probably sweating profusely. The food was amazing! We had starters which involved making a wrap with a little leaf with items from the centre. The whole meal with drinks was about 20 pounds, even with a random dish being added to our table.
In the coach station, we decided to go to a little fast food restaurant where through lack of choice and a bit of curiosity I ended up ordered pig ears. The texture of these was disgusting and the foul taste was only disguised by large amounts of chilli sauce, Imogen ordered something that turned out equally disgusting.
The only noteworthy food we ate on the coach to Chumphon were some seaweed flavoured crisps which weren't actually that bad, but we were pretty hungry by then.
In Koh Tao we have pretty much just been eating at the same restaurant, which is right by the beach a short walk from our bungalow and on average costs us about 2.50 pounds each time. We have tried loads of food, most of which has been lovely including pad thai, red curry, green curry, fried rice and something we were introduced to call No Name which is delicious. No Name is basically deep fried vegetables with a chilli jam for dipping at the side, introduced to us by one of our diving instructors.
Since having one sandwich to take onto the boat with us, Imogen is currently obsessed with sandwiches despite the massive variety of Thai food everywhere.
Hope you are all enjoying your food!
