A few things you aren't likely to see in the US

Northern Thailand is a dream come true for coffee lovers.  If you can zoom in on the picture you'll see that this is a very complete coffee menu.  Never mind that it's on a lonesome stretch on highway between Tak and Kampang Phet, which is similar to Hwy 395 in California between Lone Pine and Bridgeport.
The espresso was sooooo good that I had a second cup. 





I was hungry when I arrived in Kampang Phet.  There was a shopping mall near my guesthouse so I took a stroll looking for something to eat.  I found this place where all you have to do is point to the pictures, and the waitress will enter your selection into her hand-held computer, which transmits the order to the kitchen. 






Also at the mall.  I told them my name was Skippy but no one believed me.  But I could still go in if I paid the fee.











So who needs a station wagon?














Oh my Buddha!  Not exactly the ascetic lifestyle for these monks.
