A Far Eastern Mystery.

The Corona posed quite a few dilemmas, question marks and existential questions.
We dealt with most of them, we admit, through increased repression, or just another bite of the plate that was closest at that moment to our mouths.

worked in most cases, and allowed us at least a certain level of buoyancy in a year when the whole world was silent, and silenced.
One mystery, however, has bothered us since the sky closed, and it involves one of Israel's favorite destinations, one of the most delicious cuisines for Israelis and also one of the most Israel - friendly economies.
Let's call it simply - "What's going on in Bangkok right now, and how can we eat it?"

On the way to an urban picnic.

An invested video that was uploaded to Facebook a few days ago describes an extreme tourism mission in the Thai volume, which is based on simple things - eating the city for only 300 baht (about $ 10) per day - and its characteristics made us cry with longing.
The challenging day, created by Chris Parker and UNILAD, begins with a street stall serving a typical breakfast, featuring a thick, greasy omelet laden with vegetables, topped with a pile of rice and topped with a phosphorescent orange sauce.
Price: 20 baht.
Parker's sentence: "It's definitely enough for breakfast for me."
From there, he gets on a river taxi and crosses the city (12 baht) to reach one of its huge food markets.
He enjoys his favorite dish there - Pad Kra Pao, which includes chunks of chicken, local basil, carrots, chili chips and rice of course.
Price: 50 baht.
Sentence: "I'm pretty full, but I want a little dessert."
"It was awesome."

The sweet craving was answered at a banana bun stand, and a choice of red bean filling (20 baht).
Parker deviates slightly from the culinary line and visits the nearby flower market, stocking up on a small bouquet for his partner (20 baht), and getting a little hungry again.
The solution - fresh mango from a street stall (20 baht), two large chunks of fried chicken (40 baht) and a "main course" in the form of a steaming meat and vegetable stew (30 baht).
He’s having an urban picnic with all this goodness, and sipping on a huge can of LEO beer, which costs 52 baht.
"I walked around a lot today," he concluded, "I visited many parts of the city and I have another subway ride home, which will cost 30-40 baht. Even if I put it into the calculation, I don't seem to have reached 300 baht. And I did a lot. I'm tired. It was great. "
We have no choice but to agree with Parker, stop staring at the flight schedule at Ben Gurion Airport, and immediately stop all troublesome thoughts that try to compare food prices here and there, and how much we would manage a week in the country for about 30 shekels a day.
