^ Thanks, Jettie.
OK, the penultimate instalments on the trip, coming up:
Breakfast next morning started at 8am. As I said, before, I slept well, although there were some complaints about how hard the beds were. The breakfast buffet was perhaps the strangest meal we were served at the Sala Thai. I think they were trying very hard to cater to farang tastes, but weren't quite sure what those tastes
were. On the buffet table were a selection of muffins and sweet cakes & small croissants. Fruit was available, but didn't arrive until halfway through the service. The main draw seemed to be fried egg & toast. One guy was toasting the bread to just above anaemic white & another more clued up guy was taking it back & toasting it again. In the end, they left the toast to the clued up guy.
The other thing they were making was a Thai rice soup with pork & shrimps. I've never eaten Thai food for breakfast, preferring it for other meals. However, I'm not hugely into sweet things & hate fried eggs, so I decided to try it. Loaded it up with chilli from the condiments section and I was surprised how tasty it was. Another first for me! Yum!
As with all the meals, breakfast was accompanied by music, this time we were serenaded by unobtrusive 'morning' music on an acoustic guitar.
