Depending on what type of person you are, you might know Thailand for its beautiful Buddhist temples, its tasty food, ladyboys, ping-pong shows, or just its happy, humble people. And it's true, Thailand has all these things and more.

In this episode, Kurt explains a traveller's perspective on Thailand, the pad thai and basil stir-fries, the gorgeous and prolific sex workers, the ubiquitous transgender women, and the Thai people's love for the late king, his majesty Rama IX. Kurt also talks about south east Asians fascination with sugary drinks, and some tips on how to spot a shill.

What area are you in?

Got my ticket for the end of December. Am planning to try some Mexican restaurants in Bangkok this trip. It HAS to be better than Mexican in Japan.

You might want to check out one of the free meditation retreats while you’re there.

Hey Ken. I'm in a country town near Saraburi... I'm staying in a Buddhist temple so I am learning about meditation.

I'll be gone by December unfortunately. They gave me a 30 day extension on my entry stamp and I want to be back in Aus for Christmas.

Yes, there's a chain called Sunrise Tacos. I haven't tried it but their menu includes sopa de tortilla and chilaquiles, things which you don't normally find outside of Mexico.

That’s awesome. I want to do that eventually, when I move back to Thailand.

The Mexican place I plan on checking out is called The Missing Burro. Run by actual Mexican people and selling the real deal (supposedly).

My favourite is the minced chicken pad kra pao (pad kra pao gai) :)
