Thailand Vegetarian Festival 2012

If you’re in Thailand, you’ve been seeing the distinctive yellow flags draped on street carts and hanging above restaurants everywhere you look.

On Monday, I had a chance to visit Yaowarat Chinatown in order to take part in the action – and by that I mean EAT!

So here’s Part 1 of the video that includes a full vegetarian breakfast and some sweet peanut candy…

Isn’t the peanut candy awesome?

Luckily, all their hard work is much appreciated in that sweet sweet candy they produce!

The very old lady serving the black drink (which I had never heard of until drinking it right then), didn’t even speak Thai (she was Chinese). She had to call the adjacent vendor to talk to us in Thai.

It tasted a little like licorice, and they explained that it was very good for the throat!
