Destination #1 Thailand!

What can us trekkers do when we have a travel itch during these though economic times..??? Thailand...or...the next best thing: Wat Mongkolratanaram!

Imagine this: a Thai Buddhist temple, soft music, the mixing scent of coconuts, curry, jasmine rice and peanut chicken in the air, all followed by dozens of smiling, happy people gathering near riverside picnic benches, mouthing heaps of delicious Thai food.

Well, its real, and its here in Tampa. Every Sunday from like 10 am 2 pm, Wat The Mongkolratanaram Thai Buddhist Complex opens its doors to the Public. Dozens of lined booths sell 75 cent sesame read bean buns, $1 dollar thai teas, $5 dollar boxes filled of curry chicken, pad thai, and so fourth..... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
