Breakfast at the airport before our flight to Nan. Some of us were more adventurous that others!!

We had heard just before we left that there was flooding in Nan. Flying in to Nan we could see it was very flooded. Upon landing we were told our hotel was not accessible due to flooding in their street. Fortunately, the owners of the hotel also own a resort a little out of town. We had been upgraded for a couple of nights whilst, hopefully, the flood waters subside. We were taken straight form the Airport to a restaurant up in the hills amongst rice fields. We had a traditional Northern Thai noodle dish very similar to a laksa except with condiments on offer. Pickled mustard greens, fresh shallots, lime and fried noodles. Truly delicious! Lunch was cut short as we had heard the bridge was starting to flood and would close very soon. We need this bridge to get to our resort! Phew, we made it just in time. We were able to enjoy the afternoon by the pool.

The Hotel owners hired a canoe just so that they could transport some food from the hotel to the resort. They wanted to still feed us the meal they had so lovingly been preparing for us. We were feeling guilty enjoying a wonderful feast whilst others in the town were having such a hard time. We have all offered our services to help clean up if and when required after the flood waters subside.

Unfortunately Duang’s house has also been flooded so no cooking lessons there for now. We are on an unexpected adventure, but for now, I am still very confident that the food is not going to disappoint!

My breakfast was quiet a selection – pandan custard with doughnut type things, coffee with condensed milk, chinese black tea and an onsen egg which was a little raw for me to eat!

Our very decorative plane!

A little robotic cleaner heading my way!

They smuggled beer in from Laos for us because it is better than Thai beer – although we have found Thai beer to be quite ok.

This was our appetiser, lots of tasty morsels to eat in a lettuce leaf with some Nam Prik Noom sauce. We then had a salad along with some fresh river fish and a tofu sweet and sour type dish. I even went back for seconds on the tofu dish! Sorry missed getting photos of those ones.

Dessert was Thai Coconut Custard served in a mini sweet pumpkin with some cantaloupe.
