Besides their awesome entertainment, they also have some great food and the atmosphere is enjoyable and laid back. They offer Lunch specials from 11am to 5pm and are served with steamed white rice and fried wontons. Enjoy the following dishes for under 6 bucks. BBQ Chicken, Stir Fried Special, Dried Chili with cashew, broccoli with gravy sauce, sweet and sour, pepper and garlic or chili with holy basil.

For dinner come and try the fried shrimp appetizer. Salads and soups worth mentioning are spicy fish and coconut soup, and the papaya salad with dried shrimp. And if you are a curry lover, you'll be more than thrilled, they have every type of curry possible; red, green, yellow and then some.

Seafood is also a treat at Palms Thai. They serve up a tasty deep fried trout with mango sauce or if you’re looking for spicy, try the whole fish with chili/garlic sauce. The menu even offers some “wild things” like Frog with chili and holy basil and Wild boar with curry sauce, you heard me right, they serve Wild Boar here. Not to mention Deep Fried Quail and Beef with Lime and Garlic.

For something sweet I’d definitely recommend ordering their Thai Fried Bananas or their Coconut Flavored Ice Cream. But don’t try and order them on Saturdays, for some reason they don’t serve dessert on Saturdays. Still trying to figure that one out.

SATURDAY (CHRONICLE #12):  We decide to just stroll downtown. There’s a school fundraiser going on at the Pavillion square next to the railroad tracks. There’s an Elvis impersonator by the tracks waving at us -- yep, even in Marfa. Turns out the Elvis impersonator is a ‘she’ -- got her Elvis outfit for a Halloween party. She had so much fun with it that she jumped at the chance to do it again for the school fundraiser.

According to a report on WKYT.com in Lexington, there was an Elvis sighting in Lexington and nearby Nicholasville, Ky, early Tuesday morning. A man dressed like the late entertainer Elvis Presley was walking along Nicholasville Rd. in Southern Fayette County in Lexington just before 8 A.M.

64-year old David Blaisell told officials that he was on his way to a court appearance at the Jessamine County courthouse in Nicholasville. Blaisell says he's been an Elvis impersonator for the past five years and likes to wear the eye-catching Elvis-like costumes.

But after being arrested and transported to the courthouse, a local judge ruled him in contempt of court for being intoxicated. Blaisell says that he doesn't know how he was still drunk after having just "a few drinks" the evening before.

Blaisell was in court for stalking and violating a protective order. Charges that he claims will soon be dismissed. At any rate, when he goes before the next judge, he might want to consider belting out a few bars of "Don't be cruel" just in case...

Blue Öyster Cult lead singer Eric Bloom joins Somewhere In Vegas today at 8pm ET. (Don't Fear) The Reaper, but fear missing the opportunity to listen into this LIVE exclusive interview.

Also on the program superstar Elvis impersonator Trent Carlini and Don Bellezzo from the Beatles group "Yesterday."

 The event created a fantastic, lively atmosphere, as tourists and travelers gathered around to join in the conviviality.

Some took off their shoes, sat on the floor, cheered and swayed to the music, while I also spotted a couple dancing to a number of the slow ballads.

The event featured Johnny Baron, an Elvis impersonator from the U.S., belting out some well-known Elvis standards, as well as hits from Elvis’ contemporaries, such as Neil Diamond.

I'll share some video clips I took in my next post.  Kudos, Changi Airport, for the untiring effort to keep the airport alive and abuzz!
