RE: Traveling to Southeast Asia: Elephants and cooking in Chiang Mai
Hi Paul, I got sick while staying with a family in Cambodia and end up in hospital in Chiang Mai. I thought the hospital and staff were amazing, much better than England, the only let down was the food (as usual!). Thanks for your post, it brought back a few memories of my travels. :-)
First of all, thank you so much for resteeming me! I really appreciate it!
Luckily I was only in the hospital for a diagnosis and to get some medicine, so I didn't have experience the food. But I feel like hospital food HAS to be bad, otherwise something must be wrong :D
But it surprises me a little, that the food was so bad while all the food I ate in Thailand was delicious!
Because I had a stomach bug the consultant said I couldn't eat any fruits or vegetables, and as I'm vegan that left me with a choice off the hospital menu of noodles with ketchup. Thank god I was only admitted for 24 hours, or I would've starved! There was so much amazing vegan food in Chiang Mai, me and my husband @danpaulson actually went there for a vegan meet up and met people from all over the world that we'd been chatting to on fb. It was a really positive experience, despite ending up on a drip! :-)
Ah I see that makes it hard to find decent food ^^
However even though it feels like starving as long as you are on a drip you won't die from hunger ;)
