Is that a Thai on your back?
3/12/06 1:30 AM, Chang Mai
After taking some time to send and receive email we headed back out and grabbed a Tuk Tuk to the night bazaar. First order of business? Banana Rotee of course! We then walked back to Soi 6, the street with the Indian food and took the time to examine the options. We concluded that the street marked on the Nancy Chandler Chang Mai map as ‘full of Indian food’ really only has three options (one of which we ate at our first day here) and they are all more Pakistani / North Muslim than Indian. We still decided to have a seat and by pointing at pots of food ordered some kind of a beef stew and a pumpkin dish. Both had great sauces but neither the meat nor the pumpking was very good. Along the way to the Anusarn food market we stopped at another Indian restaurant that advertised sweets and asked if they had Galab Jamun. The cook (he was cooking in a little ourdoor area) had some brought in from the kitchen for us to taste and we ordered a few of them to go. We ate them at Anusarn then sat down for fruit juices (Banana shake for me, coconut milk in the husk for Nick). I was wanting a massage while Nick wanted to explore more food so we split up and I got an hour long Thai body massage. I had to swing by the massage place a couple of times before I found someone to help me and managed to get my intention across with hand signs. When the masseur climbed on my back (with her knees pressing in) I got a bit worried but relaxed when I realized she could not weigh more than 90 lbs. I was not as impressed with the massage but do think it did me good.
