After-School Snack on the Street

Chiang Mai, Thailand – Growing up, I always had a snack after school, something that I could grab out of the cupboards and serve myself. With sun streaming onto our kitchen table, I would nibble on crackers and cheese, chips and salsa, sandwich cookies, apples and peanut butter and so forth. Outside the Anuban Chiang Mai school, a joyful scene fills Ratchamakka road as kids start pouring out of the school 3:30-5:30 laughing, chatting with friends and buying small snacks in groups or with their parents. For about 10 baht, school children can pick up fried noodles, mini bowls of khao soi, thai omelettes, french fries, a bag of chopped hot dog with sweet and spicy sauce, fried balls of chicken and flour and much more. If they’re craving something sweeter, there are soda popsicles, pancakes, and plenty of sweet drinks, like thai iced tea.
