Because she writes sentences like "a (mis)transliteration of the Thai alphabet which stabs in the hearts of all linguists like a poisoned dagger;" because she has mouthwatering photos of fat bananas grilling; because she, like me, thinks that a world without khanom krok is a world with one reason fewer to live...I recommend to you the (often-Thai) food blog She Simmers, starting with the beautiful entry about a very special Thai market, "Or Tor Kor."
I have a very special place in my heart for Thai markets. I've written about them on WITP several times, including Better Be Street if You Lookin' at Me Parts I and II; Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old AK; and Sugar & Spice. I can hardly think of a better afternoon than wandering aimlessly through a market, admiring rows of shiny fruit, shrieking at slithery creatures, observing the carnival of human expression, and of course, eating street food.
If the written word + photos aren't enough for you, look up Anthony Bourdain's culinary take on Thailand (in a time of tumult) from August 17's episode of No Reservations, on the Travel Channel.
