I haven't been to Thailand, though The Loved One wants to take me as he has been. I have been to Bali quite a few times if not for a while, and the wall of warm humidity that hits you when you step off the plane in Denpasar is soaked in aromas, some of which are food-related... one of my fonder memories of Bali, that arrival (almost a "coming home" feeling).

That sounds good. I haven't had Thai green curry in almost two months. You've started me thinking!

I'm the paste-man. I'll do any and all of the paste-making, and leave the Loved One to their inclusion in meals. He wants a red too, but we need to find some more chillies for that. Fresh veggies and such are in slightly short supply at the moment, with the floods and, locally, what I think is unnecessary panic-buying. The Noosa Farmers Markets shut early today as, according to my brother-out-law who has a stall there (his own products, and butter, fruit, veggies, and some local goat cheeses), it was swarmed this morning and everything sold out very quickly. High prices are coming apparently (at all our markets, as well as supermarkets), as old stock runs down. I'm not complaining (it would be contemptibly petty of me, against the suffering of others), but just observing.
Cheers,
