  • Restaurant owner in the National Park who was nice enough to comp me a dish of one of the house specials. I went to the restaurant alone, learned about and ordered the dish through the graces of a family sitting nearby, and ultimately shared it with a couple from my guest house who were also lunching there. Great meal! Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, Thailand
