It's almost Thanksgiving, and we're feeling nostalgic for the table full of long-familiar, once-a-year foods, followed by football games . . . a quick search reveals a couple of places here in CM that actually serve Thanksgiving dinner! Are there a lot of ex-pat Americans here or what??
Decide to check out Dukes's which appears to be the most authentic menu-wise, and head out of the old city to the banks of the Ping River for the local Duke's. Alas, of the 4 available seatings, the only one left is 8:30 at night - way too late for these two. On our return walk, we detour through the Warorot Market which Colin and Winnie have told us is 'the' market for locals. And it is!! Reminds us of the gigantic indoor market in Merida, Yucatan . . .
The flower vendors are right on the street - block after block of them.
We haven't found a place for dinner tomorrow but we sure are hungry after this walk-about!
Back home, we learn that Duke's has a second location - an upscale shopping center (no reservations necessary) so we'll give that a try tomorrow. But first on the schedule tomorrow, our last excursion in Thailand . . .

Aisle, upon aisle of food, clothes, take-away . . .
And the ever-present stuff on a stick . . .
