Dragonboat festival always reminded me of Qu Yuan, and bachang, and the nain ingredient to make bachang: glutinous rice. Where is the best place to get the best rice, if it is not in Thailand, land of the rice?

Back then when we were in Haadyai, our daily meals consisted at least one portion of rice or rice based food. Let me recap in this post:
