Better Paella in Thailand than Spain?

There was a rumor around school that the most delicious paella in Thailand could be found at Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok.  Thinking this was too amazing to be true, we set forth in search of this mystical place called Viva 8.

It took us three visits to the market in as many weekends, but we finally found it.  We knew we were in the right place when we saw the GIGANTIC, simmering paella!


We were surprised to see a dancing chef playfully adding various fresh ingredients to his soon-to-be-perfect paella.


The Spanish chef was more than happy to pose for a photo with me in between adding his secret spices to the large, Valencia-styled paella pan.


The rumors were true.  For five US dollars, we ate paella that was even more delicious than the paella we ate when we visited Spain!

¡Bravo!
