Last week, H had to renew his commentary drive at work. It basically involves driving around town with a company hired safety representative/instructor, observing road rules and commenting on what you're doing, why you're doing it and potential safety risks that you are passing. When passing a restaurant, H commented that it was necessary to be aware of cars entering and exiting the parking lot. This prompted his instructor to start a friendly conversation about H's favorite restaurants around town, now that we have been here for over a year. H quickly told him that we get food multiple nights a week from a Thai restaurant in the city, that's (obviously) really good. He asked which one and when H told him, exclaimed excitedly, "that's the best one here!"
Per the driving instructor, Anonymous Thai Restaurant is the only authentic Thai restaurant in town, with the owners hailing from Chiang Mai. He filed the other Thai restaurants under two categories: Chinese and British (despite some of the proprietors also being Thai).
Then he shared his best kept secret with H...how to tell if a Thai restaurant is going to be good/authentic. Per the driving instructor, the restaurant must have a picture of the King.
Obviously. I'm glad to know that some truths cross country lines.
