Farang

 It’s my last night in Mae Hong Son, and tomorrow it’s the start of my journey heading south. I’m at the night and always love the slight confusion of what to order, hearing them hurriedly speak and you can definitely hear them say ‘farang’, meaning ‘foreigner’ as you approach. 

Then I remove my shoes and sit on the raised pavement by the lake, which is now converted to an outdoor seating strip for all the food stalls. My table is a tiny child’s table with the English and Thai alphabet on it and I am looking over the lake to the beautifully lit nearby temple. 

A real highlight in Thailand is the food and with that comes the adventure of going to the amazing food stalls and hoping that you’ve ordered the right thing!
