We met Mark Wichaiphan several years ago when he was an exchange teacher in Cape Elizabeth. Since then we have become good friends and Mark often stays with us - cooking fabulous Thai meals - when he comes to the U.S. for several months every year. Jim visited him in Chiang Saen on the Mekong the year before Mark retired from teaching and he visits us here when our trips to Tland overlap.
This winter, Mark has been working in Bangkok. He visited Chiang Mai this week and we got together several times. One day we went to We's, one of my favorite places to eat here, and had a great lunch.
We had fresh spring rolls, wingbean salad, ginger tea, Dtom Kha Seafood, brown rice (hard to find places here that serve brown) and Penang Curry with chicken and lots of fresh vegetables.
