Dancing Shrimp Video

Sawasdee! Welcome to Thailand Musings!

Thailand Musings I first went to Thailand in 1997 and immediately fell in love with the country. Thailand at that time to me was mysterious and exotic, full of potentials and pitfalls. Fast forward to 2010 and here I am after 13 years and many trips to the LOS sharing, with the help of my Thai wife Golf, my experiences and knowledge with you here at Thailand Musings. Thailand may have lost some mystery for me, but it is still exotic and wonderful and I will always remember that first feeling when I stepped out into the Bangkok smog for the first time. I have yet to learn everything about Thailand and thankfully for all of us Golf is here to correct me when I err.

So, I’m doing my usual nighttime blog reading and I come across this video of Goong Then or Thai Dancing Shrimp. Boy they look great! I’ve had crickets and grubs and cobra venom before, but never any dancing shrimp. Thanks to Vern from ThaiPulse! for the great video. I hope the dancing shrimp treated you better than the scorpions Vern Aroy mak mak!

Thanks for the plug Steve… they are tasty man, crunchy and they’ll split your lip if you catch the horn the wrong way, but worth the effort… good to surprise visitors to Thailand with them…

I would probably be a number one, horrific spectator, but, then, I’ve been known to try different stuff. Very interesting!

HA! I haven’t found a place that serves these little critters yet, but you can bet that when I do I’ll be making a film of myself eating them. What I don’t think I’ll ever bring myself to eat is the huge cockroachs which you can see Vern chowing down on here…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XzGZhWHhg4
