Our family had a nice day tour at the Royal Flora Festival in Chiang Mai, Thailand two years ago where we saw lots of great flower arrangement ideas for our home. Colorful plants and flowers were stacked on different levels of iron bars making a nice ‘flower column’ which is great for gardens with little space. Flowers were not planted directly on soil but on thin black plastic pots and grouped together to complement the other varieties. This makes it easier to replace with a new variety and planting these flowers on the pots gives more flexibility and creativity in your garden arrangement.

Thailand is a not only an exotic and interesting place with its majestic temples, ancient ruins and modern buildings; it’s also a place of non-stop shopping.

The Thais are very artistic and creative with their well-crafted bags, accessories, décors which are great for souvenirs and gifts.

Knitted goodies!

It was a chilly December night at the Chiang Mai night market in Thailand when my techie bro handed over something in a plastic packet. He urged me to try and taste it. There was a tone of persistence in his voice that made me suspicious about it. I peeked and realized they were fried worms! Yikes! I tried to be brave and adventurous, so I ate one. It was another one of those fun Thai food tripping experiences.
It tasted like fried shrimps but juicier and not so meaty. My little niece exclaimed, “Potatoes!” after tasting some.
Here are more of those exotic Thai delicacies on display that night.
Hmmm…wanna try?
