Days of Pandan-Custard

Its the dry season in Thailand. You decide to head North.
You wake in your teak hut, to the merciless call of tropical birds and rising humidity, as the sun peaks over the new day. You decide to get moving before it is too hot. You pack your backpack, condensing your luggage as much as humanly possible, then ask your guesthouse to call you a tuk-tuk to drive you to the train station.

When the tuk-tuk arrives, you banter back and forth with the Thai driver, to haggle a price in broken English and small Thai words you know, adding in the request to stop at the 7-11 for some "shopping" before you get dropped off. This is a typical morning of a back-packer in Thailand.

What kind of snacks can you expect to see at that 7-Eleven?


Why, Pandan custard-filled hamburger buns... little koala bears filled with chocolate creme.... and ofcourse, your average Collagen fruit drink!




More yummy eats, Thai-style, the Asian version of Jolly Rancher Chews, 
 an energy drink called Emonergy, and Singha Soda Water
