Fresh dead rat meat in the market !

[Michael196055]

Staying in Pattaya now for a month and not sure if this is the place to 
pick for my retirement,
A dead rate at the entrance of the market, next almost being hit by a motor bike INSIDE the market.
And the roaring, thundering noise of scooters and BIG motorbikes all around Pattaya is scaring me ever time when they pass me with high speed, is deafening and annoying.
In the late afternoon or early evening, it is not enjoyable walking alongside the beach road at Jomtien.

This is Asia, not Kansas or Brighton! Rat meat is widely eaten everywhere in Asia, bikes are a standard form of transport. In London it is said that you are never more than 10 feet from at least 100 rats in buildings and underground, at least here they are eaten and put to some use.

Why did you leave that dead rat in the street...The wife could have cooked you up a rat dinner...

Is this your first visit to Thailand? It can be a lot to take in.  You might enjoy walking along Pattaya Beach more than Jomtien, with all of the ongoing construction.

Nothing wrong with a little protein

Even in USA, quite a few people in rural areas hunt rodents(Woodchucks/Groundhog, Prairie Dogs, squirrels) for food.

 

So no wonder even if some Asian countries(part of China, Thailand, Lao, Cambodia, Burma, Vietnam...）eat rats.

Saving Food Waste.

An obligation of mankind on top of the food chain.

One great contribution to save the world...
