Selemat Sore, A & A, Love the breakfast in Atutthaya in small shop, temples & seafood but not long walk without scarf in train station! Thanks 4 wonderful travel day!
That darn heat is keeping me away! Like I've said before, even 78F in Cuenca is challenging for me. Man, those noodles look sooooo good. Have fun and be careful!
I hear you on the heat - it's definitely a factor. But those noodles are worth sweating over! But seriously after Bangkok is Chiang Mai and northern Thailand is cooler.
So I actually shot this video before Bangrak, and it's where I discovered the Michelin "selected" restaurants. I've never been a huge fan of the Michelin star system as it rewards a lot of things that are more about service than food. Also I've been lucky enough that with my website I've been invited to eat at Michelin star restaurants for free and discovered that a lot of them aren't that good. With exception of Osteria Francescana, which was amazing. But in Thailand the second tier "Gourmand Bib" has meant a lot of independent restaurants are so popular it pushes out locals with lines of tourists. But this "selected" restaurant level is categorized as "good cooking" and it's awesome. It's a great way to find solid restaurants making fantastic food but it still has a local vibe. So in Ayutthaya there is a boat noodles place with the Gourmand Bib just pumping out bowls of soup at a frantic rate. You're in and out. But here we were able to talk and take video and just have a nice quiet breakfast. And those beef tendons were so good. So now I'm a fan of Michelin and I've used it quite a bit for local tips.
@ thanks for the details You are unique in food tourism. Haven’t ran across anyone else that’s done this since Anthony Bourdain ! Keep up the great work. I’m heading to East Africa in Early 2024. Love to scout out some venues for you guys!
Wow, that is a lot like Siem Reap! Including the trees growing from the ruins! Poor elephants. I wonder if those ruins are where the 80s movie "Kickboxer" was filmed.
Siem Reap (ex Thai name was Siem Raj) was used to be one province of Siam. Cambodia was governed by Siam for more than 400 yrs and later it was taken and colonised by France. No wondering Cambodia got influenced by Siam in term of Thai artwork, culture etc.

I wish I could have stayed in Ayutthaya longer, it’s such a great day trip from Bangkok.
Boat noodle and Giant river prawn grilled are popular here.
I loved my day trip here!
Next time you must see it at night. It's magical.

@@ayngelina There's a reason why food in south east asia is spicy - it helps you perspire and the body cools as a result.
@@calvinc6121they say that. I think it’s a bit simpler.
Peppers only grow in hot climates! 😂😂

สวัสดีค่ะ🙏🇹🇭

Oh I would LOVE that. I haven't been to a single country in Africa and it's on my wish list.

So I don't know that movie but I looked up where it was filmed and you are right, it was filmed here.
@ayngelina hey, I got one! 😆

Siem Reap was colonized by Siam or Thailand.
