The taste of Thai Basil, Lemongrass, and Galangal is intoxicating. For me, it is almost impossible to resist digging into a Thai curry. So much so that I end up eating one Thai curry preparation at least once a fortnight.

Thai food, of course, is much more than just the three coconut based curries. The Thai Jungle Curry comes from the Northern parts of Thailand. Although the ingredients are quite similar, the most telling difference is the absence of Coconut milk. Coconuts are not that easily available in the hills and so the coconut milk doesn’t make an appearance in this curry.

I loved to watch the Rambo franchise as a kid. It was so popular then, the movies were played on the rented VCR and TV in our colony during the Ganesh festival, as part of the ten day entertainment.

Rambo in Thailand and BurmaSo when John Rambo came back in 2007, I was pretty exited to see the star in action again. Living on the Salween River, John Rambo is in demand once more as the Church needs him to rescue missionaries from the bordering Myanmar.

Watch Now

Action, and some more action – all that you would expect from a Rambo movie. Only this time, the man is not alone. He is working with a team of lethal mercenaries.
