I thought tea belonged in a cup. Then I found a night market in Chiang Mai serving a salad made from fermented tea leaves. The dish is called laphet thoke and comes from Myanmar, where fermented tea leaves have been eaten for centuries and traditionally shared with guests as a sign of hospitality. Next to it was banana flower salad a dish popular across Southeast Asia. The banana blossom is sliced into thin strips and mixed with herbs, lime, chili and peanuts, giving it a crunchy texture somewhere between cabbage and artichoke. Salty, bitter, sour, crunchy, floral nothing tasted the way I expected. This is what I love about night markets in Asia. Not the “top 10 foods”. The feeling that there are still things in the world you’ve never even imagined eating. 📍I’ve been collecting places like this all over Chiang Mai. The guide is almost ready follow if you want the first drop. A cinematic night market scene in Chiang Mai, Thailand featuring banana flower salad and fermented tea leaf salad being prepared and served under glowing lanterns at a local street food stall.

Another day of play. While in Koukoumitsa Bay Greece it was time to cool off and make a swing out of the mast. Never too old to have fun. Splash splash and lots of laughs on @sailingeriskay

Just serviced, anti-fouled & polished this boat is ready to go enjoy the rest of summer! No expense is spared with the construction of the Boston Whaler and it shows. You can feel the quality in the finishes and performance of the boat. The quality build gives the Mum’s and Dad’s confidence when taking your family out and the serious anglers the reliability you expect when going offshore. The centre console allows easy access around the whole boat with practical, well thought-through design, live wells, plenty of rod holders and loads of storage for your catch of the day! Not only does the Boston Whaler look great, she performs like a dream. You can see why there is a lot of buzz around these boats.
