Chilly Nights Have Arrived Isaan Thailand.

The weather has turned bloody cold here in north east Thailand, well it is cold. In the blink of an eye nights are crisp and the need for air-conditioning or even just a fan is not needed.

There was even a discussion on closing the bedroom windows as last night was a little frigid.

Many cannot associate cold and Thailand in the same sentence. But it does get quite cool this time of year, especially November and December. Some nights we might even get single digits.

I feel sorry for all the people sleeping it rough from the floods, all those who are in makeshift tents while their homes are underwater, I can only imagine how cold they feel.

Anyway, a good cool temperature food is this.

This is a Thai dinner roll. The shop in a straight line from my house is about 200mtrs. The guys opened about a month ago and have been doing great business, and not only from me.

They come with processed pork roll and grilled pork and salad and the sauce is a ripper, tomato, chilli and a mayonnaise and then it is whacked under a grilled and comes out warm and crispy.

The crazy part is this; 20 baht a roll or three for 50 baht. That is around $1.70 for 3 rolls. How can they do it so cheap!

Anyway, apart from that nothing else much is happening here in sleepy Ubon Ratchathani. I am going to go back and visit the flood victims this weekend and see how they are faring,

The water levels have dropped but not enough for many to return home.

P.S. I forgot about the bottle of Sangsom Thai rum, that didn't come with the rolls but I purchased to have a nip of two as a nightcap and to warm my bones a little.
