Extreme curiosity got the best of us - Li and I just had to turn around!
We had NO choice but to find out what was going on with this noodle restaurant that appeared to be working out of an abandoned home... and yet it was obviously full of customers.
As you will see in this video, in a home which looks like it was simply ripped out of another building, and placed perfectly on this busy little central street corner, the aunt and uncle who live here, and serve amazing noodles here by the way, could NOT be more happy with their lives! What a day.
I had never been in this area of Chiang Mai, and honestly Li and I were lost on our way to finding a different restaurant. After seeing just a flash of activity in the bottom level of this honestly quite dilapidated looking building (the name of the shop in Thai by the way, is "Abandoned Building Noodle Shop"), curiosity definitely got the best of us!! And our hearts (and stomachs) were happily rewarded.
My friend told me later that he knows this shop well (he lives in the area) - and he calls it the "Flat Iron Building" of the neighborhood. Instead of a high-rise condo however, its a landmark serving incredibly tasty noodles!
As an awesome bonus, I get to hang out with the uncle, his friend selling ice cream, and as a DOUBLE bonus I get to learn a few words of Tai-Yai language from another friendly local shop owner as well!
An amazing day, the kind you cannot plan, but you just absolutely have to go with - run with! - if you can - and enjoy the pleasant ride :)
I hope you all love this video, it was an absolutely beautiful day for something like this to happen (this was after church actually, and about 5 hours after the most recent live stream!). I hope this video brightens your day, and please don't hesitate to let me know all your thoughts and reactions in the comments section below!
All the best - Joel
