Still on our recent road trip to the south of Thailand. Here is the episode on Nakhon Si Thammarat. Although not a major touristic spot, but one of the most significant in terms of histories, Nakhon Si Thammarat is known for rice vermicelli (Kanom Cheen ขนมจีน) made fresh, shadow puppet (Nang Talung หนังตะลุง), Wat Phra Mahathat and as we found out, Champadak (จำปาดะ) as well. Below are the links to our previous episodes:
