The royal Thai cuisine is such a unique thing that’s not talked about enough. I got the impression it was served only during Songkran, because that’s when i tried it in BKK. But down there it was served all around the year?
Adam, I am so glad you were able to discover my grandmother’s town and the wonderful, and unique cuisine from there. I also love how much effort you take in researching for your videos… these are awesome short documentaries. Thank you so very much. 🙏🏻😃🇹🇭
Man that dish with the jasmine water, looked otherworldly, but the one that peaked my interest was the fried papaya with the chili sauce.....I could eat my weight in that! The palm curry with the pumpkin looked amazing as well........
I’m Thai and appreciate the effort that you put in this video. Love to see foreigner get into our culture and somehow there is things that you represent and I don’t even heard about it even I’m Thai. Just here for support❤❤❤
Oh my word. The last restaurant that you went in this clip really makes me miss Thailand. That is a true local Thai restaurant with classic local cuisine, and the spread that you had there ... unbeatable. BTW, what is your impression of cha om in the omelette that you dipped in the shrimp paste relish. It is one of my favorite. It is like funky leafy asparagus. One time I saw it in the freezer in an Asian grocery in the US, and I was like, "who else will be buying this except me". Haha.
Man, thank you for this! I've been to petchaburi almost a year ago, enjoyed Khao Chae andw Palm Curry, also there are unique dishes that you didn't show here - Petchaburi has a unique version of Pad Thai, less shrimps and more pork crackling, less sour. There also an amazing dish of sweet pork with preserved radish 😍 Also, the Buddhist architecture in the city is just phenomenal
Petchaburi province is welknown, among Thais, for fresh palm juice (Nam Tarn Sod), and a variety of Thai desserts. Mungbeen custard cake (Kanom Mor Kang) is one of the famous and popular desserts from the province. ❤ Kanom Jeen Saunam is my fav dish and it's getting more difficult to buy in many places. Whenever I feel like eating this dish, to cook it myself is easier than finding a place to buy. Btw, love your vids. They all are educative and entertaining. ❤
I'm late to Khanom Jeen Sao Nam. When we filmed our khanom jeen video was only the second time I'd ever tried it. Unreal how good it is when it's done well.
At last. Food related videos which give REAL insight to the preparation of the food (including interviews with the vendors). And lots of useful info via the subtitles. Superbly informative. WELL DONE!!
I love Kao chae as well as of all of your VDO. At my home, Kao Chae is like annual summer activity for my family, we used to make it at home. My grandma only use palm sugar from Petchaburi for her Thai cuisine like local fish sauce from Trat. Thank you for your dedication works here
When I was living and working in Bangkok, one 3-day weekend in 2016 I picked Petchaburi as a destination and got a minivan from Victory Monument. I didn’t know what to expect, but the town really charmed me with its friendly people, good food, and interesting hill temples and cave. However, I didn’t even know that Khao Chae was a specialty. Your excellent reporting makes me want to return to these many places and experience them again with a deeper understanding.
“it must be a really helpless feeling to see Thailand become famous all over the world for food and history, all the while knowing their part of it got missed.” Eloquently put. A statement that struck a very deep, personal chord, reflecting on the absent role of indigenous Bornean cuisine within the wider, mainstream Malaysian food culture. Kuching also earned its City of Gastronomy title in 2021, and visibility is increasing. But one can’t help feeling a little helpless at times. I think seeing the parallels made the video much more relatable. My fav so far!
I just want to say that you have got good eyes for finding this travesty. Petchaburi has been underrated for far too long. Thank you for a voice against capitalistic exploitation.
Had great seafood in Petchaburi before the Pandemic. Our hometown is Ratchaburi originally. You are correct that Khao Chae is famous in Petchaburi amongs the Thais and available year round (unlike Bangkok).
Hi Adam. I would like to let you know that I love your presentation. You sound like you really mean what you are saying. I appreciate you take the time to do your research beforehand. Thank you.
1,000,000👍 Love your work❤❤❤ Local market is my favourite place when I go to anywhere in Thailand some market will open 3.00-7.00 AM.😅😅 Not only for fresh and cheap food but there have riches rhythm of local life.
I taught at Phetchaburi Rajabhat University. The rice of Phetchaburi Province, which the Thais work so hard to plant and harvest, is of a unique variety that is the best in the world. I have eaten many fine rices and never encountered a rice like Phetchaburi rice.
I just watch your clips about 3 - 4 days and I falled in love with your passion (and subscribed, of course). I am Thai and when I found foriegners seriously do a research about my country culture and food, it make me very happy and love my country culture and food so much more. Thank you for your hardwork, keep doing it and if your have some questions about Thai culture, especially in Thai Classical Performing Arts (It's my expertise) even though I know it may not quite relate with your channel but if there are some dishes relate about Thai Classical Performing Arts, I may have answers or I can do research for you.
@@Dax34tube Amazing. No idea how I can work that into a video but if somehow it comes up in the future or I can figure out a way to work it in (or if you have any ideas re: connections to food culture) I'm definitely coming your way.
Phetburi Town is a 2-hour drive from Bangkok. Cha-am Beach, also in Phetburi Province, is a 2.5-hour drive, and Hua Hin is a 3-hour drive from Bangkok.
We actually might film there this month. Daria and I went back in March and loved it- have been trying to find the right time to go back to film. We can always film there again during Durian season.
@ 10:53 Min. Kanom Jeen... one of my favorite Thai dishes, preferable with "Namya" (fish Curry) and Pla Tu Tod and lots of greens, herbs - yummi! As the guy points out @ 13:19 more custom further south..!!
i don't know if you fellas realize it but your videos are 9/10 in terms of documentary and 3/10 in terms of food reviewing. narration is great, video shots are great, makes much more of a documentary than a food review.
@@OTRontheroad The production and flow of your videos is good and i rarely bother commenting unless I mean it. It's difficult to grasp the desirability of the food you review though, not sure if its intentional because your reaction to all the food in review have been somewhat similar. I clicked with the expectation of watching white folks reaction to asian food but became more mesmerized by the production quality equating to that of a professional documentary.
Totally. The thing is I just sometimes can't figure out how to work in food reactions/analysis without interrupting the flow of the story we're trying to tell. But I hope that in the videos where it's most important for the sake of the story we do at least try to convey what it's like@@oyagsan
@@OTRontheroad so while I have the chance (before your channel gets too big and thus ignore some/all comments) I'd like to push some requests. To begin.. I'd like to request a documentary on one of my favorite dishes of all time: vietnam's bun cha. (Even Anthony Bourdain intro'd this to Obama). At first glance, you might think it's a stupid idea to soak grilled meat in soup. At least that's what I thought at first. I'd like to know its origins and how such a dish came into existence. I can't possibly imagine how anyone would not like this dish, much similar to how one disliking french fries. The only response I'd expect to hear is "We'll do it".
Watch our video on Khanom Jeen, we explore Bun Cha (though not a deep history, just a focus on the noodles) in that one. Hanoi is certainly on the agenda for filming, and I adore Bun Cha, although I'll be honest- as much as I love it, to me, the real hidden gem is Bun Ca (with crispy fried catfish). @@oyagsan
Phetchaburi Province with devoted human work and water buffalo farming, grows the best rice in the world, even better than fine East Indian Jasmine rice. Phetchaburi should be proud; and those who like fine rice should acquire and serve it. It's magical rice I tell you.
I really like this video as I always stop in Petchburi to eat when I go to Huahin. Such great food! But there is one thing that you got wrong about Khao Chae. Khao Chae is definitely not eaten “with pretty much anything” as you said, but it has very specific side dishes that are almost never eaten with regular meals. The Petchburi version of Khao Chae (“Khao Chae Muang Petch”) has only 3 side dishes, which are those 3 that you ate (Shrimp paste balls, sweet dried turnip, and sweet fish). The Royal-version of Khao Chae (“Khao Chae Chao wang”) has a few more varieties of side dishes, such as stuffed peppers wrapped in egg net, fried stuffed shallot, and shredded pork.
A lot more than that- watch our video on hot weather dishes, we go through the sides of Royal khao chae! And there is a wide variety of sides served with khao chae chao wang, but by now the Phetchaburi dish is pretty much the standard anywhere it’s served. But go into the other variations if you have time to dive in. A lot of interesting stuff.
My wife's from Suphanburi, we are building our retirement home in Cha Am, so been visiting for many years now. A Suphanburi school friend lives in nearby by Hua Hin, so we're eating in both Phetchaburi & Prachuap Khiri Kan all the time, both the Suphanburi girls, both agree the food in both provinces is far too sweet for their pallets.
I absolutely love phetchaburi I myself have never been there its Short distances from The city of Bangkok , Out skirts from the city Looks like an awesome Trip if anyone can make it There . I absolutely enjoyed watching the different part of Thailand .
I eat McDonald's almost everyday in Bangkok. That's Thai McDonald's. I don't go anywhere that don't have at least 1 big shopping mall. Your video makes me consider that maybe I think I will go to Pletcha... didn't I see it somewhere on the Blue line of the metro map? Somewhere near Bang Sue... Ohh... I just discovered it is not in Bangkok. It is an entire separate province "bordering Myanmar (Burma) to the west and the Gulf of Thailand to the east. ".
This is all neat and brings back memories. But if you want fine Phetchaburi cuisine, get university permission and go to the Professor's restaurant at Phetchaburi Rajabhat University, which is very near where you took this video. It is phenomenal!
How did you have your English subtitles translated? it’s not precise. For example, 23:52 the restaurant owner said “Nam prik pao” which is “chili paste”, but the subtitle says “shrimp paste”. Etc.
@@Thunyapatz I'll talk to our translator and make sure that's cleared up in the future. However the pickled bamboo shoot is my mistake. I know what the ingredient is and should have caught it regardless.
Love all your videos . I hope you check out Vietnamese food in Thailand. I have a few Vietnamese friends, I was surprised that they don’t recognize menu that Thais would considered Vietnamese. Like Nham Nheung แหนมเนือง Vietnamese noodles ก๋วนจั๊บญวน or Nhamkluk แหนมคลุก. At the same time the current Vietnamese food like Pho or Bahnmi are almost non existent in Thailand. My theory is that Vietnamese food in Thailand is the ancient menu that is gone from Vietnam after the war and colonization. But I could be wrong! Please look into this!
So- we've been looking into that a lot recently. It'll require some travel, so we probably won't get to film anything on this subject until late in the summer...but yes, it's a fascinating topic.
Petchaburi should bring back old fashion " kanom mor gang " which one was very well known of Petchaburi in the past ( but not the new vertion in the market which is the terible one).
I'm going to be honest- I'm pretty sure I've never had a good version of this. It's never been one of my favorites. I'm glad to hear that there's a "real" version and I'd love to find it somewhere.
The best Thai food isn't just in Bangkok. The best Thai food is found locally in the provinces of Thailand. Bangkok is a foodie hub, but recipes change from where they originated. If you want to eat original Thai food, you should go and eat in other provinces of Thailand.
3:11 Khao Chae is almost, i might say 65% similar to the Thingyan Htamin or Thingyan rice (Water Festvial rice - Mon people, Myanmar) they way you describe how they make the rice with jasmine candle food.. i think they are the same, I won't surprice because Mon people used to have settlment in Phetchaburi, I think there are some Mon generation still living there. (seach Thingyan htamin or thingyan rice - I think Bangkok kalayana restaurant also sell it too) .. if you visit Ko Kret, Bangkok.. small island in Bangkok...they also offer a lot of tradtional Mon foods and desserts there too.
I live in Bkk and will head down to Petchaburi soon to check it out. Can you tell me the name of the guesthouse owned by the woman [Ang?] that you spoke with in the video? 🙏🏻
Most of the places in the first part of the video are around the market, which is Phetchaburi Riverside Old Market +66 62 463 5464 goo.gl/maps/dUusJadWeMk7PX3v6 ....the khanom jeen vendor is here: ร้านข้าวแช่ป้าเอื้อน +66 86 162 5589 goo.gl/maps/ysdaH8C7jBF1iZqd8, the riverside khao chae is here: Mae-nid Khoa-shae +66 32 413 376 goo.gl/maps/LDiEFQ5fzWHHyLXU6 , and the palm restaurant is here: Palmyra Kitchen Tanote +66 87 407 4492 goo.gl/maps/U5DZBEJjBpZCwsgGA
24 years ago when I was a kid. I often visit Cha Am the beach in Petchaburi. It wasn't as famous as Pattaya. The beach was full of chell big and smal thatl you can't find nowadays. I remember this province was so famous of desserts. And people said Petchaburi citizens are though and aggressive.
This is Adam! Shoot me an e-mail at otrbkk@gmail.com and we can communicate that way- I'll see if it's possible (it's a long way off so I don't mind trying to make it work) and if not, I'll connect you to someone else that I trust!
In my opinion Thai people if they have land in the provinces consider that person to be wealthy and have an advantage over those who live in the capital city (Bangkok) because the cost of living in the provinces is low There is a vegetable growing area and fruit throughout the season and can be made into food in 1 day at no cost at all or can bring the produce to exchange with neighbors as well.❤❤
Khao chae suffered a big set back in popularity many years ago when it became widely known that jasmine flower crops are drenched in insecticides. To this day people are wary of eating khao chae because of contamination with insecticides. In Bangkok khao chae an be found in more upscale restaurants and outlets that claim to use insecticide free flowers. Khao chae is usually somewhat expensive as not only is it difficult to make properly but sourcing genuinely insecticide free flowers is difficult.
My go to place in Thailand, I have been going to Petch for many years. And this video barely touches the wonderful foods that are available there. Deserts are also a speciality.
I'm sure! There's a limit to how much I can eat in a one-day trip (our video on the 15 dishes of Queen Sri Suryenda almost broke me), so we couldn't try everything...but if you've got any recommendations on specific places, please pass them along, we look forward to going back.
Petchaburi, to many of visitors from Bangkok and other provinces, are known for the authentic and original place of good desserts such as Moh Keang, coconut pudding; thanks to the long history of the mix of many cultures dated back to Sukhuthai and Ayudhaya Kingdoms creating well-rounded food. It also was the place where King Raman 4,5 & 6 resided during the break from the duties.
Current DNA study found that Thai people are descendants of groups of ancient ethnics of Thailand. in the northern, Isaan, and central plane, people are mainly the mix of Mon indigenous and Tai (Dai) immigrants. And in the south people are mainly the mix of Mon and Melayu indigenous; then other groups here and there. The Tai immigrants liberated people of Thailand in ancient time from Khom (ancient Khmer)'s captivity, founded Sukhothai kingdom, reigned over and assimilated most of the indigenous people to speak Thai. So, though not speaking Mon anymore, Thai people are actually their descendants.
Why are they hiding this curry?!!! Take it out, put it into the food courts!! Stop hogging it to themselves! Gimme that damn spoon & the curry. I love eating the palm seeds from cans & desserts but I didn't know palm fruit can be made into curry. Did Mark Wiens cover this?
Damn I’m Thai. And I’m impressed of how good you guys gather information and delivered it😮
The royal Thai cuisine is such a unique thing that’s not talked about enough. I got the impression it was served only during Songkran, because that’s when i tried it in BKK. But down there it was served all around the year?
Yeah- it’s year-round there
RamaI was a Mon person they were not Tai/Lao people
Adam, I am so glad you were able to discover my grandmother’s town and the wonderful, and unique cuisine from there. I also love how much effort you take in researching for your videos… these are awesome short documentaries. Thank you so very much. 🙏🏻😃🇹🇭
Cheers Jim!
Man that dish with the jasmine water, looked otherworldly, but the one that peaked my interest was the fried papaya with the chili sauce.....I could eat my weight in that! The palm curry with the pumpkin looked amazing as well........
I had a bite of it....Daria was ready to fight me for those. They were awesome.
I’m Thai and appreciate the effort that you put in this video. Love to see foreigner get into our culture and somehow there is things that you represent and I don’t even heard about it even I’m Thai. Just here for support❤❤❤
Thanks!! Much appreciated.
Oh my word. The last restaurant that you went in this clip really makes me miss Thailand. That is a true local Thai restaurant with classic local cuisine, and the spread that you had there ... unbeatable. BTW, what is your impression of cha om in the omelette that you dipped in the shrimp paste relish. It is one of my favorite. It is like funky leafy asparagus. One time I saw it in the freezer in an Asian grocery in the US, and I was like, "who else will be buying this except me". Haha.
Man, thank you for this! I've been to petchaburi almost a year ago, enjoyed Khao Chae andw Palm Curry, also there are unique dishes that you didn't show here - Petchaburi has a unique version of Pad Thai, less shrimps and more pork crackling, less sour. There also an amazing dish of sweet pork with preserved radish 😍
Also, the Buddhist architecture in the city is just phenomenal
Nice! Yeah, there's definitely plenty more to make it worth a second trip for us down the road
Love Pechchaburi not only food it’s also hidden gem of Thai architecture
And you land on one of the best Khao Chae in phetchaburi for the first dish. Kicking in my nostalgia 🥹
World Class content!
Thank you!
Absolutely, this is better than the content you get on many networks. Keep it coming.
Petchaburi province is welknown, among Thais, for fresh palm juice (Nam Tarn Sod), and a variety of Thai desserts. Mungbeen custard cake (Kanom Mor Kang) is one of the famous and popular desserts from the province. ❤
Kanom Jeen Saunam is my fav dish and it's getting more difficult to buy in many places. Whenever I feel like eating this dish, to cook it myself is easier than finding a place to buy.
Btw, love your vids. They all are educative and entertaining. ❤
I'm late to Khanom Jeen Sao Nam. When we filmed our khanom jeen video was only the second time I'd ever tried it. Unreal how good it is when it's done well.
At last. Food related videos which give REAL insight to the preparation of the food (including interviews with the vendors). And lots of useful info via the subtitles. Superbly informative. WELL DONE!!

Kanom Jeen Sao Nam is my all time favorite summer dish.
When I was living and working in Bangkok, one 3-day weekend in 2016 I picked Petchaburi as a destination and got a minivan from Victory Monument. I didn’t know what to expect, but the town really charmed me with its friendly people, good food, and interesting hill temples and cave. However, I didn’t even know that Khao Chae was a specialty. Your excellent reporting makes me want to return to these many places and experience them again with a deeper understanding.
“it must be a really helpless feeling to see Thailand become famous all over the world for food and history, all the while knowing their part of it got missed.” Eloquently put.
A statement that struck a very deep, personal chord, reflecting on the absent role of indigenous Bornean cuisine within the wider, mainstream Malaysian food culture. Kuching also earned its City of Gastronomy title in 2021, and visibility is increasing. But one can’t help feeling a little helpless at times.
I think seeing the parallels made the video much more relatable. My fav so far!
ฉันชอบช่องของคุณ เพราะเหมือนฉันดูสารคดีและอาหาร
Just 2 hours from my town but I still dream of going there. I hope I can make it soon by trying all these foods.
It is fun watching Adam get so excited about the food he is eating 🤗🍜🌴
Did you also know RamaI and the Chankri Kings were also Mon ethnic people
Thanks for much for your well researched show on this place. We are going to visit later this week 😊
I have been binge watching your videos about the facts of my own country that I didn't even know before.
You deserve more recognition!
I just want to say that you have got good eyes for finding this travesty. Petchaburi has been underrated for far too long. Thank you for a voice against capitalistic exploitation.

Had khao chae in BKK as a seasonal dish in the summer, but would love to taste it in the place of its origin.
Thank you very much for re-introducing this place. I'll follow you to this place soon.
I'm 10000% Thai but i'm still never try Khao Shae before in my 40 years of my life ... Dude you are Thai than me
Great work! Keep it up!
Born in Isaan but raise in Petchaburi. Food there spoiled me ever since. My family never cook. Petchburi food is that great.
My favorite Pad Thai is in Tha Yang, Petchaburi. For me, it tops every shops in Bkk
thank you for coming.
Our pleasure!
ฉันชอบอาหารทะเล เช่น ปลาหมึกแก้ง กุ้งแห้ง ปลาเค็ม จากทะเลเพชรบุรี มากที่สุดค่ะ
Awesome episode. That palm park was certainly quite the plot twist! I’ll definitely have to go whenever I get out there.
lol...it was quite a plot twist for us, that's for sure
As a Thai, it is so satisfying to see you, as westerners, fluently use spoon and fork to scoop rice :) great video !
Lol! Do people get it wrong??
That's where they came from the west lol
Dude I live here for over 7 years you should come back i will show you much more that you must experience here..
Would love to. I'll let you know when we're coming back.
Beautiful piece. I could feel your reverence through the video.
Just about to head there tomorrow from Hua Hin. So keen to explore and eat the food!
Palm sugar and Palm SAP drink are also highlight of Petchburi. Its sustainable, low GI, wonderful aroma.
Hi Adam. I would like to let you know that I love your presentation. You sound like you really mean what you are saying. I appreciate you take the time to do your research beforehand. Thank you.
thank you!
You always know thai foods are authentic when the owner describes the dishes without a prepared script like that Tan curry guy.
He didn't even know we were coming or going to ask him to film. Just grabbed him when the food came out and he improvised.
Now I want to go to Petchaburi !
Food for season.

Great video that cool and everything look delicious..😋❤

Local market is my favourite place when I go to anywhere in Thailand some market will open 3.00-7.00 AM.😅😅 Not only for fresh and cheap food but there have riches rhythm of local life.
First place I try to go anywhere. Perfect place to get your bearings and start to figure out a new place.
I taught at Phetchaburi Rajabhat University. The rice of Phetchaburi Province, which the Thais work so hard to plant and harvest, is of a unique variety that is the best in the world. I have eaten many fine rices and never encountered a rice like Phetchaburi rice.

Out skirts from the city
Looks like an awesome

I just discovered it is not in Bangkok. It is an entire separate province "bordering Myanmar (Burma) to the west and the Gulf of Thailand to the east. ".
In Bangkok, it's Phetchaburee road. In this clip, it's Phetchaburee province.
Wow!!! Totally brainwashed!!!😂
This is all neat and brings back memories. But if you want fine Phetchaburi cuisine, get university permission and go to the Professor's restaurant at Phetchaburi Rajabhat University, which is very near where you took this video. It is phenomenal!
How did you have your English subtitles translated? it’s not precise. For example, 23:52 the restaurant owner said “Nam prik pao” which is “chili paste”, but the subtitle says “shrimp paste”. Etc.
23:35 “nor mai dong” is pickled bamboo shoots, not pickled toddy palm fruit.
23:38 “Bai Ma Grood” is kaffir lime leaves.
@@Thunyapatz I'll talk to our translator and make sure that's cleared up in the future. However the pickled bamboo shoot is my mistake. I know what the ingredient is and should have caught it regardless.
@@OTRontheroad👍🏻 thank you for making vdo about Thai food ka.
13:15 the factory owner says “with vegetables”, not “grilled vegetables”
16:53 he means “the fish is dry” but he doesn’t mean that it’s dried fish or sun-dried fish. He’s talking about the way he cooks.
Love all your videos . I hope you check out Vietnamese food in Thailand. I have a few Vietnamese friends, I was surprised that they don’t recognize menu that Thais would considered Vietnamese. Like Nham Nheung แหนมเนือง Vietnamese noodles ก๋วนจั๊บญวน or Nhamkluk แหนมคลุก. At the same time the current Vietnamese food like Pho or Bahnmi are almost non existent in Thailand. My theory is that Vietnamese food in Thailand is the ancient menu that is gone from Vietnam after the war and colonization. But I could be wrong! Please look into this!
So- we've been looking into that a lot recently. It'll require some travel, so we probably won't get to film anything on this subject until late in the summer...but yes, it's a fascinating topic.
The Tanote Palm Farm Restaurant looks very interesting, but I couldn't find it in Google map. Could you provide the name in Thai or the directions?

มีอีกหลายเมืองที่ เป็นเอกลักษณ์คล้ายเพชรบุรี (ที่ไม่ไกลจากกรุงเทพฯ) เนื่องจากอดีตเป็นเมืองใหญ่ เช่น ลพบุรี นครราชศรีมา นครปฐม สุพรรณบุรี เป็นต้น
ขนมจีนเป็นอาหารชาวมอญ และชาวมอญก็กระจายไปหลายจังหวัดในไทย รวมทั้งอาหารมอญก็มีการประยุคและกระจายไปหลายพื้นที่
Petchaburi should bring back old fashion " kanom mor gang " which one was very well known of Petchaburi in the past ( but not the new vertion in the market which is the terible one).
I'm going to be honest- I'm pretty sure I've never had a good version of this. It's never been one of my favorites. I'm glad to hear that there's a "real" version and I'd love to find it somewhere.
The best Thai food isn't just in Bangkok. The best Thai food is found locally in the provinces of Thailand. Bangkok is a foodie hub, but recipes change from where they originated. If you want to eat original Thai food, you should go and eat in other provinces of Thailand.
Petchburi is left untouched by war that ended Ayuthaya and gave birth to Thonburi/Bangkok. So, yeah, they have really deep roots.
24:00 the fish cakes are not from clown featherback, they said it’s from Indo-pacific king mackerel.
3:11 Khao Chae is almost, i might say 65% similar to the Thingyan Htamin or Thingyan rice (Water Festvial rice - Mon people, Myanmar) they way you describe how they make the rice with jasmine candle food.. i think they are the same, I won't surprice because Mon people used to have settlment in Phetchaburi, I think there are some Mon generation still living there. (seach Thingyan htamin or thingyan rice - I think Bangkok kalayana restaurant also sell it too) .. if you visit Ko Kret, Bangkok.. small island in Bangkok...they also offer a lot of tradtional Mon foods and desserts there too.
In which town were they? want to go there.
👍🏻👍🏻
I live in Bkk and will head down to Petchaburi soon to check it out. Can you tell me the name of the guesthouse owned by the woman [Ang?] that you spoke with in the video? 🙏🏻
I've sent her a message to ask- I'll let you know when I hear back
Ok- it’s called JJ Guesthouse. If you want to book, contact number is 0629296516. Cheers!
Thanks!
Nice vdo just passed on the way to the south. Do you have Google maps placemarks?
Most of the places in the first part of the video are around the market, which is Phetchaburi Riverside Old Market

@@OTRontheroad excellent thank you
Yes, thank you. I was going to ask about the restaurant also.
24 years ago when I was a kid. I often visit Cha Am the beach in Petchaburi. It wasn't as famous as Pattaya. The beach was full of chell big and smal thatl you can't find nowadays. I remember this province was so famous of desserts. And people said Petchaburi citizens are though and aggressive.
Do you know if Adam would be interested in taking me there to Petchaburi next January and how much he would charge for a day trip like that.
This is Adam! Shoot me an e-mail at otrbkk@gmail.com and we can communicate that way- I'll see if it's possible (it's a long way off so I don't mind trying to make it work) and if not, I'll connect you to someone else that I trust!
@@OTRontheroad Great. I’ll send you an email when it gets closer. Thanks.
In my opinion Thai people if they have land in the provinces consider that person to be wealthy and have an advantage over those who live in the capital city (Bangkok) because the cost of living in the provinces is low There is a vegetable growing area and fruit throughout the season and can be made into food in 1 day at no cost at all or can bring the produce to exchange with neighbors as well.❤❤
Khao chae suffered a big set back in popularity many years ago when it became widely known that jasmine flower crops are drenched in insecticides. To this day people are wary of eating khao chae because of contamination with insecticides. In Bangkok khao chae an be found in more upscale restaurants and outlets that claim to use insecticide free flowers. Khao chae is usually somewhat expensive as not only is it difficult to make properly but sourcing genuinely insecticide free flowers is difficult.
Interesting! Never knew that story. Sad to hear.
so, pay more to taste less ? Is that what you say'in ?
Another culinary city that should be a world heritage is Nakorn Sri Thammarat. Please check.
Some of my favorite food in all of SE Asia
Don't miss Bang Khun Tien. You'll found sea in Bangkok.
My go to place in Thailand, I have been going to Petch for many years. And this video barely touches the wonderful foods that are available there. Deserts are also a speciality.
I'm sure! There's a limit to how much I can eat in a one-day trip (our video on the 15 dishes of Queen Sri Suryenda almost broke me), so we couldn't try everything...but if you've got any recommendations on specific places, please pass them along, we look forward to going back.
Petchaburi, to many of visitors from Bangkok and other provinces, are known for the authentic and original place of good desserts such as Moh Keang, coconut pudding; thanks to the long history of the mix of many cultures dated back to Sukhuthai and Ayudhaya Kingdoms creating well-rounded food. It also was the place where King Raman 4,5 & 6 resided during the break from the duties.
Thai people know that "If it is a deserts it must be Phetchaburi City"
..all food there is "aloy mag mag".....lived there 10years...
aroi mark mark✔
NOT aloy mag mag❌
Adam, you’re supposed to use a shared spoon on each dish. Iol
Did you know. Phetchabure mean Diamond. It make sense its.
Current DNA study found that Thai people are descendants of groups of ancient ethnics of Thailand. in the northern, Isaan, and central plane, people are mainly the mix of Mon indigenous and Tai (Dai) immigrants. And in the south people are mainly the mix of Mon and Melayu indigenous; then other groups here and there. The Tai immigrants liberated people of Thailand in ancient time from Khom (ancient Khmer)'s captivity, founded Sukhothai kingdom, reigned over and assimilated most of the indigenous people to speak Thai. So, though not speaking Mon anymore, Thai people are actually their descendants.
Just a random thought though, so, selling food in Thailand is viable ? XD
🥰🥰🥰
Why are they hiding this curry?!!! Take it out, put it into the food courts!! Stop hogging it to themselves! Gimme that damn spoon & the curry. I love eating the palm seeds from cans & desserts but I didn't know palm fruit can be made into curry. Did Mark Wiens cover this?
Lol right?!!
Look like you missed " Thai Pachaburi Dessert". 😂😂😂
Hah! We just ran out of space to keep eating.
As Thai, I absolutely hate some of these scented-candle desserts / dishes. Some are wayyy too strong.
