Postcards from Thailand #3: My Acti-Romantic Bugger Report Card: 14 Feb 2023

avatar

You've got to treat 'em on Valentine's day right? So being a romantic, generous and sensitive husband, I decided that I'd take the lucky wife out for dinner and she could choose the restaurant.

Awwwwwwww

The place she chose was called Bang Por Seafood and was a Thai restaurant. Admittedly, I was a smidgeon disappointed that she hadn't chosen somewhere with a slightly more cosmopolitan menu, but apart from an under the breath, "what's this shit?" comment I muttered upon receiving the menu, I think i hid my mild to moderate dismay quite well.

There were two things on the menu that an English Philistine could eat...

Can you guess what they were?

Of course. It was beer and chips for me as she tucked into fresh squid that had possibly been swimming about earlier that day only metres from where we were sitting, and Horseshoe crab eggs that to be honest could have been any old eggs as far as I could tell.

The sunset was incredible tonight and it was such a romantic setting as the subtle fragrance of burning mosquito coils wafted through the air. If it were me, I'd have just been happy with a bowl of noodles sat on the harbour but the smile on her face and love in her eyes made the pain of spending £13.60 totally worthwhile.

It's a good thing it wasn't windy of course, nothing worse than sand in your Tom Yam Kung!

If anyone needs any tips on how to treat the wench, zoom lessons can be arranged for the bargain sum of 100 Hive per hour.

Happy valentines day to all the loved up couples out there or if you're single, love yourself even more, safe in the knowledge you didn't need to experience the trauma of spending £13.60 as I did!

Lol thanks, you can't really fail here on Samui though. So many amazing beachside places. My wife would have much much preferred your cabin in the snow though!

Living on an island with a family that only eats seafood it is sacriledge! Family meal times are 'interesting'!
Insane indeed and 'all right' is definitely the new 'great' :-)

She is really beautiful. Very much worth eating almost live squid for... but hey ho... chips and beer will fill a gap :D

You're so cute!

Where's the sign up for the Zoom thing?

I don't eat seafood. It's such a 'cliched' phrase these days but living on an island, there's very little else! Normal meals are basic Thai, we live as locals, not as expat or tourist, so when the opportunity for chips arises, it has to be taken ;-)

Hope you're still busily sucking the marrow out of life :-)

I am at the coast again and Friday Fish and CHIPS is a major bonus.

And Tuesday chips.

And Wednesday.

Well. Chips. :D

I am busy being focused and making space to suck more of the marrow and am sucking more chocolate off the ends of my fingers while I do this and, in between, nap hard! :D

Building up some steam for the next leg of the journey...

Enjoy the chips!

p.s. local Thai sounds perfect
