khon kaen coffee friends

My friends Dtao and Pim who adopted me in Khon Kaen. Every morning I would meet them for a cup of coffee and practice speaking Thai with them. I would order something for breakfast from the lady at the next door shop. She can make the best kai yasai, egg omelet with vegetables, I have ever eaten.

But the best part was the treats that Dtao and Pim would bring from the market everyday for me to try. One day it was khao tom, pounded sweet rice and coconut wrapped in banana leaves. The day before was koy jap, a Vietnamese pork noodle soup. Next day was donut ball things.

What fun people. Thanks for sharing your culture with a farang with such enthusiasm.
