Hey Billy - it's a mango salad, not papaya. Same same but different. :) We don't use pla-ra as it carries dangerous liver flukes which are well documented to cause liver cancer. Google it. Not that we dislike pla-ra, just we only take the best of Thailand and leave the crap-dangerous stuff. :) 16 years here in Chiang Mai now. And you? Following you. :)
Appreciate the resteem. Thank you!! :)
Oh, my mistake with the payaya salad. But my wife is using the pla ra also for mango salad. ;-).
I´m here since 12 years. But I´m new on Steemit.
pla-ra is dangerous stuff. delicious but not smart, in the end. Where do you live, Billy? My daughter, Ploi, is half-thai and I run a herbal biz here in Chiang Mai.
Yes, I know that about the pla ra. But you know. The isaan people love it. So, you can´t change it. We stay near Hangdong. And you?
Baan Rim Tai in Mae Rim. We have a pretty active steem-fam here in Chiang Mai, led by the lovely and super-smart @kenistyles Next time we have a steem brunch, come & join us.... :)
That sounds interesting. Where do you meet and how can I find out about it?
Our group is called Steemit Mastermind Group. We have a facebook group but the real action happens on discord. There's a link at the bottom of my post. There are agreements you have to agree to and the group has to vote you in. Click on the discord link to connect with Keni and learn more. Our commitment is to help each other fly on steem and to bring more people successfully onto steem.
our meetups are sporadic and fairly impromptu. :)
