So we were all ready to go to Chiang Mai by train with our neighbors, and our friend Matt, who has a peanut allergy, had an allergic reaction right across from the train station. We ditched the trip and took him to the ER. We skipped the train - so you could say we were derailed by a peanut. Fie on the, foul legume!
Here's a picture of what we think was the offending restaurant. I'm not saying don't ever go there to eat, but - don't ever go there to eat. Peanut-servers.
Thankfully our friend made a full recovery, and he was able to make it up to Chiang Mai with his wife to see some elephants (he loves elephants). We couldn't join them, but the most important thing is that he's all right.
Oh, and never eat at the Hong Kong Noodle shop across from the Bangkok train station.

oh no! thailand must be a huge deathtrap for peanut-allergy sufferers.
yes, peanuts are in everything here, except for beer. which perhaps relates to a potential solution - ?
