I love Thai food Even before I went on my first Thailand vacation , I frequented Thai food haunts first in London, then when I moved to New Zealand, I discovered a couple of Thailand food specialists in Wellington.

And then I went on an extended Asia vacation. And here, in the Land of Smiles the Thai food is authentic . You can really experience the subtle blend of tastes and texures that make a Thai meal memorable.

I was amazed , though, to discover how different the the dishes are in the many provinces in the ancient kingdom of Siam . There are four main areas and they have their own signature dishes . And sometimes you can find farang ( foreign ) influencesin the dishes that have combined with Thai cooking over the years and joined with the distinct Asian regional tastes .

For example, the Northern part of the Kingdom developed its own culturethat is not only different in language and legends but also in its cuisine. Over the centuries, this part of Thailand was ruled sometimes by Burma or Myanmar as it is now known , and sometimes by the ancient Kingdom of Ayuddhya that attracted adventurers and traders .

So, in the North you get the glutinous, sticky rice that is rolled onto small balls with your Hands and then used to scoop up themore liquid dishes . TheNorthern regional chillies are less harsh on the Western palet than the ones in the other parts of the Thailand, and you can find specialities like moo ( Pork ) that is deep fried until it is crispy .

In the Northeast Thailand, in Y-san as it is known locally you get your food highly seasoned and hot. Some of the local dishes include the notorious papaya salad which local girls swear is the best weight loss tool available . Lap which is a spicy ground meat or Gai salad , and the flavoursome charcoal grilled chicken . Like the Thais in the North, they like their rice glutinous, and here they use it as a desert as well. Sticky rice and mango is a reason to travel to Thailand in itself .

The central region of Thailand is where the best known Thai dishes come from. local flavourings such as garlic, black pepper and fish sauce were over time complimented with coriander, lime and tomato. The characteristic chilli pepper , without which a Thai meal wouldn’t be a Thai meal, was introduced from South America . This is interesting because these peppers are now an integral part in Siamese cookery .

Fruit plays an important role in a Thai meal, and often you get mango, durian, pomelo and pinapple and water melon to round off your meal .

The influence of the Malaysian peninsula can be noticed in the food of Thailands Southern provinces . As this part is also a coastal region , there is plenty of fish and seafood available. Shellfish, fresh fish and local delicacies such as squid and octopus all have their place in the local diet .

The milk of the coconut is used here to take the heat off the chilli-laced curries and soups . Coconut oil is used for frying, and the white insides you eat as a condiment . There are also many places that grow cashew nuts , and the locals make a lovely dish of cashew nuts, red and green peppers, onions and chicken .

I like the spicy yellow curry, and the mild Massaman curry which is more akin to an Indian, Korma style curry . Sa Te which are pieces of charcoal grilled chicken, beef or pork cooked on skewers and served with a spicy, curry peanut sauce is another one of my favourite snacks .

With such a variety and diversity of food in Thailand it’s not surprising that the Thais spend a considerable time each day eating. I wonder where they put it all…?

Just do a Google search to find hundreds of water machines on the market shelves.

Clean, pure drinking water is needed throughout the world and is quickly becoming the most highly prized resource of all. However, ninety-seven percent of the water which is found on the earth is in the oceans. It is undrinkable and is unusable for most culinary and commercial purposes. Only three (3) percent of the world’s water is fresh. Of this three percent, two-thirds is locked in glaciers and polar ice caps. Of the remaining one percent of the earth’s water, about half is located beneath the earth’s surface.

Rivers and lakes contain approximately 1/50th of one percent of the earth’s water. A significant portion of this fraction has been contaminated by industrial civilization, and much of the remaining “freshwater” is severely polluted or biologically contaminated. Unfortunately, this pollution has begun to reach our underground water as well. Continually, on any given day, more than one-half of the earth’s human population is ill, with the majority of these cases caused by waterborne contaminants.

The World Health Organization of the United Nations estimates that eighty percent of this illness is caused by contaminated drinking water. Many countries throughout the world, not just third world countries, have inadequate water treatment facilities, or a complete lack of treatment facilities. It is becoming clear that new technologies are needed in every segment of the water treatment industry: agriculture, horticulture, food processing, industrial waste treatment, public water supplies, and sewage treatment. These systems must be environmentally-friendly and rely on methods and processes that are not chemically based.

Water machine products are best described as atmospheric water generators. One of these is Air2Water, which is a family of water generating machines which use technology (developed and patented by Worldwide Water, Inc.) that extracts pure drinking water from the air. The machine first pulls air through an electrostatic filter removing 93% of all air borne particles. As the machine collects the water it drops into a collection tray and immediately passes into Ultraviolet (UV) light, where the water stays in contact with UV rays for approximately 30 minutes. This kills 99.9% of all germs and bacteria in the water. Then the water is pumped through a sediment screen into a 24 volt water pump, and back by two (2) solid carbon block one micron water filters, NSF 53 approved, that removes 99.9% of any volatile organic chemicals (VOC’s) that may be in the water. It also filtered through our proprietary Ultrafiltration (UF) with membrane pore size of 0.015 micron to remove virtually all bacteria and common viruses. The water then goes through a half calcite, half GAC mineral additive where it is then pumped into a reservoir tank. The water is then recycled every hour through the UV and back into the reservoir tank. The water is then chilled or heated and dispensed to the consumers.

One of Time magazine’s best inventions for 2006 is called the Rainmaker. Arthur C Clarke the science-fiction writer. Clarke once wrote that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.Case in point: this water-harvesting machine is capable of pulling up to 500 gal. of drinkable water per day out of thin air. Its precise workings aren’t public, but they use a chemical process similar to the one that causes salt to absorb moisture from the air (and clump up your saltshaker). The water machine isn’t particularly portable–its 20 ft. long–but it will be a godsend for disaster victims or troops in desert combat.

These are just two of the many machines that are on the market to provide clean drinking water.
