Kruu Jeab

You might remember a few posts back about me mentioning Kruu Jeab and that we were going to hang out with her. Well we did! :) And we got to hang out with her awesome daughter, Ploy, also!
Ploy is an English major and wants to be an airline stewardess so she can travel the world! Great idea I'd say! And her mother is an English teacher - who has been studying English longer than I've been alive!
Thai's are always so afraid they'll speak wrong and often are too shy to speak English in front of a native English speaker. These ladies helped us with our Thai and spoke better English than we did!

Here's a pic of the happy new friends!


They took us to this site where the original Chiang Mai city was- some 400+ years ago! It was buried by a flood and discovered by some archeologists! Crazy! And it's just out in the open for anyone. Of course they have it set up as a type of temple now


Here is another REALLY old temple we went by, 700+ years old! The history here is so amazing!


I should have had this picture first . . . Jeab took us to her home and her daughter served us very traditional Thai desserts. She wanted us to experience them!
On the left is a pastry puff filled with spices and potatoes- De-lish!. The yellow cheese looking things are actually made of egg whites (was not my favorite). The bottom pic are little cookies designed to look like flowers- they were mostly sugar but were Super dry, almost like powder. Good though. Then on the right was a type of custard almost, though it had fried onions on top! Not my fave, but Jen really liked it.
