Thailand’s Pad Kaprao is out of this world

[snoop1130]

 

If you think enjoying Pad Kaprao (basil stir-fried meat) in restaurants or on the streets may be a bit ordinary, how about sending it off into space, or almost?

 

The Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA) and related authorities have launched an experiment in Nakhon Sawan province in which they sent Pad Kaprao to the atmosphere, using high-altitude balloons, to find out whether the altitude had any effect on the ingredients.

 

The experiment will be used as a model for future scientific research, particularly into space. It can also be used as a model for other experiments at altitudes of 30-100km above the earth’s surface.

Presumably, with "Pad Krapao" the news article linked to in the OP means Phat kaphrao (Thai: ผัดกะเพรา)

Good, now toss it outside window to check gravity impact on ingredients.

Welcome to the age to enlightenment!

[Pique Dard]

megalomania! what about sending a whole pig or chicken in the space, and check if the high altitude has altered the taste!

When i first saw the picture i thought it was "retired working for you" that sent it off.

I hope they can freeze-dry excrement in space... can you imagine being in a cramped space with that stuff?

Seems it's back to the drawing board.

They found the box but the Phad Krapao had gone. Only the rice was left.

????????????????

Not a joke

Pat krapao with a fried egg on top is heaven sent. One of the world's best lunch dishes.

Headline should read

 

Out of this world and inside farmer Somchai.

Not since the Segway has there been such potential to revolutionize an industry. LOL
