What is your favourite Thai meal?

Amy knew her favourite without hesitation. Amy loves 'Pad Thai', which is a rice noodle dish that is commonly found in Thailand as authentic street food. Amy will have to judge this recipe. We've found one from Jamie Oliver's, that's a little bit different. Have a look. Have a go.

...hit the town, fool around, let's go party!"

Can you tell us a funny story about touring as a part of The Lady Boys of Bangkok?

The BUZZ from a Lady Boys of Bangkok performance just isn't enough for poor Thierry. During one rehearsal there was a bit of bother from a busy bee that stung him. We love a good tongue twister. 


   
Insect repellent for Thierry please

We asked Thierry what does he like to eat?

Thierry's favourite Thai dishes include chicken rice and crispy pork! He's also partial to a not-so-Thai spaghetti carbonara. Here's an article that covers how to concoct a carbonara best suited to you!

...Bombay is our Supergirl!

Can you tell us a funny story about touring as a part of The Lady Boys of Bangkok?

Bombay is the first to give us a fun anecdote. She said that the one theatre on tour, the roof was leaking. This meant that the Lady Boys had to dance around a puddle. 


SAFETY FIRST 

We asked Bombay what is her favourite Thai meal?

She loves "SOM-TUM," which is a green papaya salad. The Hairy Bikers have a recipe (click below) but we know for a fact the Bombay could serve it way better!

Japan is on Nichol's wish list of places to experience. I think we can all agree that the Sakura cherry blossom is very pretty. All that pink!
