Living in rural Isaan affords you the opportunity to eat out every meal of the day.
Why would you want to do that?
I think the first reason is variety. You can literally find any dish you like.
Second is cost. It is rare you find a dish more than 40 thb in rural Isaan.
(Rural Isaan, not including the major cities but the small villages)
Breakfast, lunch and dinner, you can always get out the house and find some cheap, delicious food.
No need to cook at home!
