The Thai park has changed quite a bit since 2019. The sprawling, haphazard ‘aisles’ with many booths have been reduced & and condensed to 2.5 aisles that were absolutely packed with people.
It’s gained in popularity over the last 10 years or so – no doubt it’s mentioned in tourist guides everywhere these days, but practically cutting 2/3 of the booths didn’t exactly improve the situash, with some lines stretching around and past other booths, which made it almost impossible to see what is all on offer. In the future we will have to show up earlier than we did today.
Having said that, it’s still by far the best Thai food I’ve had outside of Thailand, and certainly in Berlin. Unfortunately, my favorite soup lady seems to not have made the cut, but there were two other soup stands. It was good, but not as good as the one I’m used to. Grabbed very good, freshly prepared laab ped at a booth that surprisingly wasn’t overrun.
Nice afternoon in the sun, concluded by a visit to a local ice cream chain, as one of their branches is just around the corner from us. Got the mango/passionfruit, caramelized walnut, and cinnamon. Fantastic, all three of them, great texture, not too sweet.
Now to figure out WFD… #firstworldproblems
