This will wet your appetite. I like the looks of #17...and a few others. The Thai entry looks quite strange and can't say I've seen it served. Maybe it's North or Issan? Pete
My wife and youngest granddaughter often have the Thai breakfast. If I'm ever ill with stomach problems, my wife knocks up a big saucepan full that lasts a few days - it works a treat.
In my experience it's hard to find rice porridge (kao tum (sp)) dishes in the morning. It seems to me it's always an evening deal, accompanied by a variety of small dishes. The places that serve it where I am don't even open until evening. Pete

The Thai one is a version of Congee (rice porridge). Can be had in the wet market when it opens at 4am in the morning. I love it when out and about up north except when they overload it with chilli. The egg gives it added protein BB

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.
I'm sure it does, and I'm just as sure it cooks in the bowl as it's being eaten. However, I normally eat it when I have a bad stomach upset. Eggs and dairy is something the medics told me to avoid if I feel that way.
For those that want to try it, some Thai/farang breakfast joints will make it for you or better still ask a seasoned m/c driver to take you to get one. Plenty of side street joints do it in their front yards for take-away. It's one of the few Thai meals they don't bombard with sugar.

May sound strange but in my previous working life I used to like to stay in Rotterdam...as it was the only Dutch city I ever stayed in long term. The reason being....I loved the hotel buffet breakfasts of cold cuts, cheese and associated. Very similar to the German breakfast in the photos. Pete

Yes, my family's regular spot for buying it is near the 2 7-11s on Soi 88 - very cheap as well.
The English one looks best to me, though they didn't have my favorite American breakfast, and the one I grew up on which was 2 eggs fried or scrambled, 2 pieces of toast with butter and jelly, 2 pieces of American style bacon, and a glass of orange juice.
I ate that every day from the time I was weened until I moved away from my Mother's house at age 18. In the earlier years it also included a glass of whole milk.
