Thai Food Blog Secret Post… What is Joy REALLY Like?
Here are some photos of Joy doing what she enjoys… she isn’t always making and eating delicious Thai food… sometimes, well, she has a sweet tooth… haha.
Joy drinking what I think is her 2nd favorite Thai refreshment, Cha Yen or Thai Iced Tea.
the other one is…
Joy LOVES Pepsi… she drinks it at every opportunity she gets.
Pepsi here is made in Thailand I think. It’s different from American Pepsi as it’s not the same caramel sugar base. It’s a dry sugar base that dissolves. The Pepsi isn’t thick here - it’s light… hard to explain. Joy could probably go over the nuances of the flavors, she’s had enough of it!
Last Pic…
She was out on the porch for 30 minutes or so and I popped out to see what she was doing so quietly… she was just blowing bubbles into the wind… watching them go over the chickens, over the cows… on into the back wooded area… She was so at peace… She blew them for 30 more minutes.
Ok that was your sneak peak into Joy’s life here in Thailand. She is an absolutely incredible person to know. I’m a much better guy for having met her. She’s so giving of herself to whoever needs her time or energy. She’s ego-less and great fun to be around.
More to come in the future as I guest post on her blog to say nice things about her…
Sawasdee Krup!

Thai Cooking School: A Time for Lime!
My husband wrote this…
“I was at a local temple in the South of Thailand and I met a woman and her daughter that were there visiting from out of country. We shared information about where we were from and what we were doing that brought us to Thailand. Apparently she has some friends that operated a Thai Cooking School in Koh Lanta (Near Krabi and Trang, Thailand). The name of the cooking school is, “Time for Lime“. They have an open-air kitchen on the beach. They also have bungalows to stay in and free WIFI access while you stay.
She asked that I send Joy to see it if possible. Well, we’ve not had time to get over to Koh Lanta recently but I wanted to make a post about the Thai cooking school in case you’re looking for one to visit during your vacation to Thailand. I found their web site and it seems like a well-put-together effort!
If you have a chance, send me a review what you thought of it!”
