Thanks - all the vegetables are diced, and not too small, so the that they can be felt.

We didn't have a guide. This track is well trodden enough, even though the marking is non existent, you can usually see the footpath. At some river crossing it's hard to tell where the path resumes past the water. We had GPS waypoints, but didn't need them.

That's a sapodilla, tastes much like dates. The first fruit is indeed dragon fruit.

Breakfast. A mediocre Hoi Tod (sometimes AKA oyster omelette). Plain coffee, cold spiced coffee (the latter had very pleasant anise-like spice, but too sweet). Some fruits.

No, the anise is only in the fruit layer. Never thought of using maple syrup in a crumble, sounds heavenly, though maybe without the wine. I have some of the good stuff (even grade B), not sure about the fairly price part, but we'll manage. -

Pears (~450g), not too fine specimens, but it still works - best if they are not too ripe. I cook down some red wine (~70g) - leftover due to not being much to our taste. Then add the pears, with some lemon juice and sugar (40g). Cook briefly, so it won't turn to mash. Added one small star anise, ground, and some potato starch (2 tsp). Cook to thicken, add vanilla. Crumble is very simple - flour, butter, some cinnamon and a noticeable amount of salt. -
Home made indeed. Used Shamuti (Jaffa) oranges from our garden, they have a very neutral orange aroma, but the peel is thick, so it ends up plump. Also low on bitterness. Makes for killer candied peels as well.

Hua Chang waterfall hike. The way from Pai is mostly a dirt road, passing through rustic villages and farms. The trail itself is 5-6 hours long, crossing the river dozens of times, your legs don't get a chance to dry, but the water temperature was great. Kid seemed to have been having a blast. Someone left an offering. Though I'd wish they'd skip the plastic bags. Lots of butterflies in this one sunny spot.

Exactly.

Walked around town for a bit. Having fried junk (delicious junk) for breakfast, we opted for an early healthy lunch. Thai omelette with fish sauce, spicy sauce. Sticky rice. Green bean salad with salted crab. A very intense chlorophyll flavor, not our favorite. Som tam with salted eggs.

I suggest you experiment with some basic preparation, to see how it works for you. Maybe half a drop in an omelette, with some cheese, over toast.
