Today we visit my favourite province and town in all of Thailand... a place famous for palm sugar, limes, chilies, seafood and salt.... and gunmen...a place where the food is always tasty and the ingredients never run out.
I picked up ywo RU-vidrs today, @theroamingcook and @EllisWR and we headed off for a day of wandering, munching and general shenanigans in Phetchaburi, Instead of heading straight for the town itself, I gave them a brief, whistle stop tour of just a slice of the province. First, we headed to the salt flats, the beach and then to the ancient, beautiful town itself and headed into the old riverside market, Talat Rim Nam, whereupon we were treated like visiting royalty.
We ate food that cones from this town originally, including the most royal dish in Thailand!!
The people of Phetchaburi really outdid themselves today with there hospitality, affable nature and pride in their 'royal' town; we paid for nothing all day!
This was a proper lucky day as I WON THE LOTTERY from 2 tickets I bought in the carpark of Wat Yai - well, it was two numbers = THB 2,000 x 2 tickets = THB 4,000 - what a day!!
