You never know what you’ll find in small-town Mississippi. For example, did you know there’s an amazing Thai restaurant in the tiny town of Marion? But it’s not just the eatery’s authentic fare that’ll give you a taste of the Orient. There’s also the exotic setting, which errs on the side of quirky, making for a dining experience that’s memorable in more ways than one. Take a look:
