Pad Thai: The Truth Behind Thailand's National Dish

Pad Thai is Thailand's National dish but is it authentic Thai food? Is the Pad Thai an overrated tourist trap that has its roots elsewhere? We find out the real story behind Thailand's most iconic dish in this week's rather spicy episode! What's a white guy got to do to find some 'authentic' Asian food around here?

We continue the Thailand theme in Tales of a Trip, as we hear from a listener who's been backpacking Southeast Asia. On their trip through Thailand, they had a travel epiphany whilst wrestling with a scooter. This one's not for beginners!

Adam also shares the story of his nail-biting flight into Queenstown. Adam's a nervous flyer at the best of times... This amount of turbulence will have you out of your seat, literally!

Tune in for Thai food culture, backpacking tips and travel stories!
