mmm mmmm good

I ate a spoonful of ants last night. They mostly tasted like the lemon and onion with which they were prepared. Not bad but probably not something I need to eat again.

We spent the morning getting medical exams required by the TH government then headed into the city for the rest of the day. Our group split in two for awhile and then met up later in the Khao San Road area. I didn't favor the decision to spend our first real night in the city in the most cliche backpacker area, but it turned out to be a fun night. We took a subway, skytrain and river ferry to get to Th. Khao San and found a chill aussie hostel for a few beers. Later in the night I had pad thai from a street vendor and it was the best pad thai I've ever eaten, plus it cost under $1.
