Still the Best Thai Dining Experience

Family Celebrations

Family members, each with their own specialty, prepare courses of the meals.
Mats are placed on the floor, tables are placed on the sidewalk.

Nothing too elaborate, just comfortable, laid back, and pleasant.
The costs ot such gatherings are less than any restaurant dining experience.
The only difference is someone has to do the catering.

.

The meal can take two to three hours...
...and is a mix of conversation, eating, drinking and camaraderie.

This family gathering had dual celebrations:
  • A younger 'son A' is leaving for active army duty. He's becoming a soldier
  • It's Ning's birthday


Even family pets help out during these events.
Here they are sorting through the shoe selection.


A windy breeze made the early evening hours quite pleasant.
As the evening progressed the breeze became somewhat chilly and helped in closing the gathering.
