When you travel solo, you want a few more creature comforts and familiarity.

 

And if it's your first trip, after your wife died? Maybe more so.

 

I'll def be hitting the semi-famous street Pad Guy on Soi 11 the day after the curry meal. I no longer feel like I have to pretend to go native like back in the Lonely Planet era. I eat Thai food about half the time, so above average for a longterm expat. 

 

And Thai people love KFC. It's a crazy, mixed-up ol' world. Why be self-limiting when Thai people aren't?
