Hello!! We are Khalil and Raina and we share a passion for food (and each other 😍)! We have so many dream trip ideas so we figured it’s about time for a full send.
We are the type of people that will try (almost) anything once! Here’s our list of most interesting foods we’ve tried:
• Live scallop
• Natto (Japanese fermented soybeans)

Grab your forks (and phones) – Thailand is ready to serve.
