The offal-inclined have a few new reasons to be happy as Talesai’s Night/Market introduces a happy hour running two hours every day and all night on Wednesdays. Called “behind the curtain,” the happy hour begins at 6:00 P.M. and offers such unusual street food faves as fried pig tail, nouc mam chicken wings, condensed milk pork skewers, and salmon head, as well as something called pig ear fries. If you’re curious to try, but maybe a little uncertain, the dishes only run $5 each, with Mekong Old-Fashioneds and Chieng Mai Marys washing them all down at six bucks a glass. See the full menu below.
