Hot, hot, hot

Nope, not the heat outside but the heat in my mouth right now.  I just arrived in Bangkok and ordered some Tom Yum Gung soup from room service.  The description reads "thai hot prawn soup with lime, lemon grass and chili".  It is super tasty but dang it is hot...my mouth is on fire right now.  Most of the other Asian countries that I have visited have food that is flavorful spicy but not spicy hot...that is not the case in Thailand.  They like their food super hot which should be noticable based on the amount of red chili flakes you can see in your dish.  That, of course, did not stop me from enjoying as much of the bowl of soup as I could.  Thankfully they sent some rice along with it so it served as my cooling agent.

I'm here in Bangkok for two days of training at the office and then I have Friday to wander around before flying home on Friday night.  I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do on Friday but have a couple of days to decide.
