"I felt like the luckiest person on earth when I not only met Chawadee,
but had her as my personal food navigator through Bangkok. We walked,
boated, and ate our way through some of the best food I've ever had, all
thanks to Chawadee, her warmth and expertise. And now you get to have
the next best thing: her fantastic book. Enjoy every delicious bite."
--Phil Rosenthal ("Somebody Feed Phil")
