Q + A

M + D may be traveling around Thailand right now eating tasty food and riding elephants, but I'm doing something just as interesting and unique. Wearing a Bangkok t-shirt!! I've also been asked to do a Thailand questionnaire. See my answers below:

Q: What is your favorite Thai food?

Isabug: Good question, I love Pad See Ew or Red Noodle as they call it at my neighborhood joint. Apparently this is the ultimate street food. Anywhere you go in Bangkok, someone is selling Pad See Ew within half a mile. M + D, you best be ordering up some Pad See Ew.

Q: What is the capital of Thailand?

Isabug: That would be Bangkok. Can't you read my shirt?

Q: If you are in Thailand should you look left or right when crossing the street?

Isabug: You should look both ways. Though, I think you were really wondering what side driver's are on. In Thailand they drive on the left side of the road. Watch out rents!

Q: Can you sing the National Anthem?

Isabug: No. I can't. I can tell you how it goes, though...

Thai lyrics	Thai transcription (RTGS)

Or if you want to sing in English..

Thailand unites flesh and blood of Thais.

Nation of the people; belonging to the Thais in every respect.

Long maintained [has been] the independence

Because the Thais seek, and love, unity.

Thais are peace-loving;

But at war we're no cowards.

Sovereignty will not be threatened

Sacrificing every drop of blood for the nation

Hail the nation of Thailand, long last the victory, Chai Yo!
