The first time I went to Thailand was back in 1973. I was a young soldier in the United States Army and Bangkok was my very first duty station. I was there for 18 months and my initial meal back in America was a Large Mac, fries and a Coke.

Occasions have changed and rapidly meals locations dot the Thailand countryside. Almost everything from KFC to McDonalds to Pizza Hut is everywhere. They are not just in the big cities and tourist town, but exist in smaller sized towns like Khon Kaen and Phitsanulok.

Granted, I am a junk meals junkie back in the states, but typically in Thailand, I have a tendency to eat the local food. Truly it is Thai rapidly food.

I prefer to consume from the local street vendors that can have a plate ready for you in less than one particular minute. And, it is a lot less costly and tastier than the neighborhood Burger King.

But, when I am in Thailand for 3 or four weeks, ultimately I give in and have to have some burgers, fried chicken, or pizza. And, for my Thai girlfriend, it is a particular treat to eat from 1 of the American "restaurants".

When I go to Khon Kaen, I love to consume the fresh seafood at the local restaurants. Bar-B-Que prawn with vegetables and rice is all I require for dinner. My sweetie will get some oysters and papaya salad and all is excellent.

When we are in the space and determine to stay in to watch a DVD movie, she just loves to call the Pizza Organization for some pizza and chicken wings. I get the pizza and she devours the wings.

Breakfasts are usually normal fare of eggs and rice with possibly a sausage or two. Sometimes it will be Thai soup or a noodle dish like pad thai. After in a even though we like to go to a hotel run by foreigners and they have an "American" breakfast.

Lunches are snacks for me. I like to have some chicken or pork BBQ on a stick with some sticky rice. Or, if my girl is in a good mood, she will drive more than to KFC and grab some spicy chicken sandwiches. And, of course, she gets me the blueberry cheesecake dessert.

We each enjoy the Khon Kaen restaurants that are about the neighborhood lake or rivers. They have these little, thatched booths with great views. The meals and service is excellent and some have a live band playing local Thai country music.

So, Thailand has the greatest of both worlds. You can get anything from a pizza to a cheeseburger, or fried rice and noodles. Great meals and super costs. Another cause I enjoy Thailand.
