I live in Thailand, and there is something cooked in the local stores, that when I drive my motorbike by, it makes my eye's sting awful! What is it?

the answer is chilly red hot peppers frying in a pan.

Wow, deep frying chopped garlics! This always stings! And knowing the Thais do use garlic liberally in their cooking.

Hey, it makes my nose itchy - I know what you are talking abt.. I think it is some sort of curry powder or maybe cumin.. wicked stuff, but whatever.. beats the rampant sewer smell that used to fill bkk a few decades ago..

Knowing that Thai food can be pretty spicy it is probably the spices that they use to cook the food.
