In the southern city of Nakhon Si Thammarat, there is a vibrant street culture filled with amazing aromas.
In , Thanon Jamroenwithi, there is an array of food stalls running all day and night. A leisurely walk from one end to the other will produce anything from deep fried jackfruit, khanom jiin, fried chicken, fruit stalls, coffee/tea stands, noodles galore, stuffed pancakes, chicken biryani, hor mok(steamed curried fish cakes wrapped in banana leaves) and a sensational snagger stall. We felt like we were home having a barbie, chowing down a wild selection of spicy sausages served with sweet chilli sauce, scud chillies, cucumber, raw cabbage, snake beans, all washed down with a "couple" of icy cold lagers.
At around 2.30pm a motorbike with a side car rocks up with about 15 different curries and braises. By the time we leave behind the snags, womble to the end of the street and back, it's time to knock off a plate of rice with a brilliant penang pork curry with loads of thai basil that will set you back a whole dollar.
