OK, we really don't need an excuse to slurp up Pad Thai by the truckload. But if you do -- and that means you're also probably one of those people who gets up at 6:30 in the morning to go to spinning class, which we just will never understand -- keep in mind that local Thai restos are celebrating Songkran, the Thai New Year, with a week of discounts and other goodies. Red curry and coconut milk is great, but it's even better when it's on sale.
Today through April 19, you can score chances to win gift cards, cooking lessons or a trip to Thailand. Or spa treatments, and we have no idea what that has to do with Thai food, but hey, it's spa treatments -- so we're not going to question it.
