I am thrilled to read about the Naga Fireball Festival. I too have had this on my list of things to see and do!

However being a dedicated “foodie” I must admit the market is really what I would want to experience. The cuisine in Thailand and SAE is amazing, particularly as each province appears to prepare its own delicacy and signature dishes.

I cannot get enough!!!!

Catherine – The betel leaf wrap is indeed meang kam, it’s just that the leaves are different although I’m sure the picture with this post has a few betel leaves with it too. The Naga Festival is the one that tops my list in Thailand and maybe not next year but the one after I’ve just got to see.

Martyn, the Naga Fireball Festival is yet another must see in Thailand for me too! And I will be sure to order some of their luscious lettuce wraps.

I wonder how many dishes in Thailand wrap…

I usually order the one that uses betel leaf (areca nut) to wrap: Cut up limes, fiery hot chilis, roasted peanuts, tamarind sauce, chopped ginger, tiny dried shrimp, shallots… and something else (but I cannot remember).

Here is one version of it…
