The Ancient City

The weekend rolls around again and this weekend we are all off to Muang Boran, or the ancient city, just outside of Bangkok. The ancient city is a large area shaped like Thailand and has all the ancient temples and palaces from all over Thailand represented, either as reproductions or in some cases the original that has been moved here to be preserved. Kind of like a model village but on a much larger scale. It must be quite nice having your auntie to visit, all these weekend trips, it's got to beat sitting at home playing on the computer, and we all managed to stay together this time. Along with all the temples and palaces there is also a water village with lots of eateries and ladies on boats with their kitchens to prepare you a snack or a lite meal. Thai food is so flavoursome, I love it. A simple noodle soup, cooked fresh and flavoured with lemon grass and ginger is just wonderful and it is the perfect mid day food to keep you going the rest of the day. I'm not so sure about the pork balls however, I suppose they are the equivalent to an English sausages - not a lot of meat.
