I was walking around a back alley in Pattaya and noticed, at first glance, what appeared to be a typical mobile Thai food stand. For those who don’t know, its common in Thailand for a food stall to be attached to a motorbike (or motor scooter) and travel around various places selling freshly cooked items (sometimes barbeque, sometimes soup noodles, sometimes simply fruit). It’s sorta like the ice cream man.
The other day, I saw a first, a mobile pizza stand! 80 baht will buy you a freshly baked pizza, cooked right in front of you. What a genius idea. I had a small pie and I can assure you, it was good, possibly one of the best pizza’s I’ve tasted in Pattaya and definitely better than the pizza made in the kitchen of my 5-star resort. I took a picture of this way-cool entrepreneur and her contraption on my friend’s mobile, and hopefully I can get it posted here shortly.
It’s pretty common for Thais to adopt western traits and make them uniquely their own, this is a perfect example.
