Hi Ken. I also have an interest in international borders. You might be familiar with the various borders your own country shares. I'm in France and I quite like the tri- point near Aachen (Dreiländereck near Vaals). It's the tripoint of Belgium, Nederland and Deutschland. Also, the tri-point of Basel (CH, D, FR). And the friendship pedestrian bridge linking Strasbourg and Kehl
Too bad the JetLag Warriors not able to join in. Great reunion 😊. Enjoy your stay in Thailand. Stay Safe and Healthy everyone. # VeggiesFoodprintAbroad
Danok is actually nearer to Hatyai cause it's the border town between Bukit Kayu Hitam,Kedah Malaysia and Thailand but the town it's actually quite dead now due to the pandemic.
Great that you all managed to get to Padang Besar, on the Thai side> Looks like someone lost their pants trying to escape either Malaysia or Thailand. Fresh pineapple is one of my favourites. Nothing like back home. Sometimes we put a little salt on, sounds strange but makes it taste sweeter. Same with starfruit. The variety of fruits and vegatables is amazing.
Day by day am getting attached to KEN ABROAD at first ken u use to only cover local food around in most of the video but now with time ur also exploring more island village unexplored places beautiful people & Culture this is what i always wished to c ❤️❤️ - May ur channel Outnumbered with success in coming Years keep VLOGGING
I'm from Perlis, Malaysia, about 35km to Padang Besar border. I used to go there very often since it's not far away from my hometown. I love the street foods there, as we frequently visit it during Ramadan looking for foods for iftar. What i miss the most is Thai 7eleven. Many great stuff and foods are there. Almost 2 years since the last time I crossed the border. Every day, I wait for the border to reopen again. Thailand is my second country.
Normally the Muslim at the border town on the Thai side can speak Malay. Before Covid, there are all sorts of food and drinks just like what you are experiencing it at Perlis border town previously. During Covid now, a lot of shops and small food stalls are closed.
FYI, the Thai province of Satun is part of Kedah state once before, they are separated by British in 1909 with Bangkok Treaty 1909, and that's why they are sharing of similarity in term of culture, religion and linguistic.
Hi Ken and friends 👋 how awesome watching Malaysia behind the high fence , I’m sure the guy has been to Malaysia there must be some miscommunication...not during the pandemic I guess 😅 I’ve been to Padang Besar few times you know Malaysian women go there to buy pots and pans all kinds of local products mostly kitchenware really cheap 👍🏻 not sure if there’s a bus service , maybe you could get taxi , van taxi or grab car to go to Hatyai , stay safe Ken 😊
Last year, when Steve and you were at Malaysia border , both of you remarks that it's the time difference. Could walk over the border and celebrate New Year twice. Remember..
Great that you still can remember so many Malay words/ phrases. Guess the uncle who offered you pineapples couldn't understand when you asked him about the eligible age to ride a motorbike. It couldn't be 3 years old. It's illegal for that boy. We do have very young boys/ girls riding on them especially in the kampung.
I think what the guy meant earlier in the video is that he can't go to Malaysia nowadays, its hard to believe he never went to Malaysia when he is living in a border town.... and also, try speaking to him in Malay... i bet he understands.
Itulah pasal , semua makanan nak ditranslate ke Malaysia . Maksud sy dia macam nak belajar tentang Malaysia lah . apabila dia tahu sesuatu perkara berkenaan dgn Malaysia , dia tak mudah ditipu kat luar nanti . Faham2 lah , kadang ade org yg jenis suka ambek kesempatan dgn pelancong . Pelancong klu dah tahu dia ditipu , lain kali susah dahlah nak jumpa pelancong . Hahhaha
During your Perlis roadtrip, you were on the other side, Padang Besar, Malaysia. Today, you are also at Padang Besar but on the Thai side. Two different countries, separated by a fence. How amazing it is.... 💪👍
think should be Sungai Kolok, Thailand that is opposite to Rantau Panjang, Malaysia, in which he visited few months aho..the opposite of Tak Bai is Pengakalan Kubor 🙂
It's awesome! Not many farang will come to this place. Padang Besar is my mother home town. Now it's very quiet town, but 40 years ago Padang Besar was a popular place and business center for Thai and Malaysian to trade all things.
Satin was part of Kedah until 1909. Anglo treaty between Britain and Siam resulting in Setul was transferred to Siam without approval of its Sultan. Then reigning Sultan , Abdul Hamid protested but no to avail
Great adventure Ken! So pure and wondrous. I used to travel too but after I turned about 40 I noticed the locals didn't want to interact with me anymore. I just got too unattractive and unappealing I guess. Enjoy it while you can Ken! Ken Can Do It!
Hi, Just to add an explanation to the emptiness on the Malaysia side of the Border Fence. That's a BUFFER ZONE created by Malaysia. After the Zone, there's another fence with Patrol.
Ken, basically both Padang Besar in Malaysia and Thailand were the same entity. The region was part of Kedah state which is now in Malaysia. After the new border, Padang Besar left in Thailand is placed under Songkhla province. Have a great adventure 👍🏻
Anglo Siam treaty of 1909 resulting in Kedah, Perlis and Kelantan ( 3 Malaysian states) losing territories. Perlis lost Pualu Brsmana, Kedah lost Setul and Kelantan lost Tabal ( now tak Bai) to Siam. But the most tragic part was Britain agreed to Siam' s annexation of Pattani.

Wow the entire Malaysia MCO crew the border town seems really serene and peaceful - super surprised that the guy had never been to Malaysia!

He understood
Nono no no

Nice to see the gathering with Greg & Jumi as well as Pat & Giulia ❤️❤️👋

Fresh fruit..nice.. most of Thai fruits are very sweet..

It must be such a surreal feeling to stay at the border whereby the other country is just in front of your house!
Definitely yeah
But somehow good business... simply eksport & import 😅
Could you image living in a town that is separated by an international border?
Sounds interesting, right? My sister in law lives in Padang Besar, Malaysia. Her entire family can speak Thai so well.

Guess you went to this huge market there than. I remember that one, cool market 😊
@@KenAbroad yes that's right I remembered we had sugarcane juice so pure and sweet 👍
Perlis represent!!! 💛💙
Waaah, Perlis princess was here ☺️
You are awesome.. Stay safe
For state of kedah,perak,perlis and kelantan born they had special pass..call border pass....
I'm from Malaysia miss over there both of the country 🇲🇾 and 🇹🇭.
Love from Pakistan
The border of the Thailand - Malaysia country so that you can continue to enjoy the spirit, thank yo
That uncle (pineapple) was very friendly and helpful nature. 😊😊
There is a house with kitchen on the Indonesian part and a hall on the Malaysian part in East M'sia
It's in Sabah, correct? I remember there is a village literally on top the border.
Its in Pulau Sebatik
Ah I heard about that place before. very interesting!
I love stories about territories.
Interesting three RUclipsr reunited👋👍
🤝
Last year, when Steve and you were at Malaysia border , both of you remarks that it's the time difference. Could walk over the border and celebrate New Year twice. Remember..
Ah yeah that's an interesting point actually.the one hour time difference 😄
@@KenAbroad KL is more westward in longitudinal than Hanoi but adopts official time earlier than BKK and Hanoi time.
Hey 👋🏽, welcome back all of you guys ….😃
Guten Abend ,, kannst Du mir sagen wo genau sich der Grenzstein mit dem roten Tor befindet ?

It couldn't be 3 years old. It's illegal for that boy. We do have very young boys/ girls riding on them especially in the kampung.
After rewatching the scene I think he wanted to say 14 first, which makes more sense 😅
@@KenAbroad Yeah, l think so.
Nice this video
Thanks for sharing
10:46 Not all laksa use fish broth in their cooking. For example the Laksa Sarawak don't use any fish at all in it's recipe.
Fantastic video.
This is a very well done video. He reminds me of James Asquith YT videos
I think what the guy meant earlier in the video is that he can't go to Malaysia nowadays, its hard to believe he never went to Malaysia when he is living in a border town.... and also, try speaking to him in Malay... i bet he understands.
I like it☺️
Rindu Malaysia la tu🤭✌️

Interesting border town
Part 1 of the border adventure. Stay safe, happy exploring
I missed the fruits there, bigger, tastier n cheaper. Thanks Ken.
Some fruits doesnt pass the Singapore standard i read somewhere...
During your Perlis roadtrip, you were on the other side, Padang Besar, Malaysia. Today, you are also at Padang Besar but on the Thai side. Two different countries, separated by a fence. How amazing it is.... 💪👍
exactly, was very interesting to see the other side now 😊
@@KenAbroad Great 👍👍
Visiting the town called "Big Field" is a different experience.
Next up Tak Bai? That is the border crossing in Thailand opposite the river you were at before.
think should be Sungai Kolok, Thailand that is opposite to Rantau Panjang, Malaysia, in which he visited few months aho..the opposite of Tak Bai is Pengakalan Kubor 🙂
The honeymoon bridge?
@@ftinftin8937 They call it a friendship bridge.
Interesting video today, surprise that the Thai guy living at the border has never cross over to Malaysia, just next door to his house.
They dont need cross to Malaysia because their malaysian buddy will do it🤣🤣🤣
Throwing things over the fence..
He doesn't understand english well enough so he misunderstood the question.
It's awesome! Not many farang will come to this place. Padang Besar is my mother home town. Now it's very quiet town, but 40 years ago Padang Besar was a popular place and business center for Thai and Malaysian to trade all things.
Oh one thing, I can see my grand pa's house in your vdo. My grand pa and uncle house is just facing the wall(border) that you walk 😁
Oh wow that's cool that you saw his house is my video 😅
@@KenAbroad ya cool 👍
there are a rival at dalop there, lot of petrol smuggled from malaysia to thailand...
Brother I am Malaysian.Your Malay was amazing
Clever young kids on the bike 👏is that legal for safety reasons?
in my experience, the german can read malay or bahasa melayu well, because the way they pronounce the spelling is same with bahasa melayu
God bless you and your family
Nice video!
it is a very interesting in indeed. If you enjoyed this video check out James Asquith YT videos
Sentul fruit a.k.a. Satul or Setoi is the name of Satun Province. You should visit Satun and Koh Lipe after this.
Satin was part of Kedah until 1909.
Anglo treaty between Britain and Siam resulting in Setul was transferred to Siam without approval of its Sultan.
Then reigning Sultan , Abdul Hamid protested but no to avail
i think ken loves sweet food
Great adventure Ken! So pure and wondrous. I used to travel too but after I turned about 40 I noticed the locals didn't want to interact with me anymore. I just got too unattractive and unappealing I guess. Enjoy it while you can Ken! Ken Can Do It!
Ken has reached the border ! Yey..so close but its far
The Food! 👍
😋👍
I really wish we can all recover and travel soon
Yes, I hope so too. Meanwhile let's continue travelling with Ken and James Asquith YT
We all should be able to travel now. #PlanScamdemic #PopulationControl
Nàturally, communities in bordering area are relating in each others in terms of family ties
The other side of my howetown! I miss crossing that border for food! owh.....
How easy was it before covid to cross? Didn't need a visa?
@@KenAbroad For those locals staying in Padang Besar, they just a Border Pass. For others, just Malaysian passport will do.
Now hot season in Thailand till July..
In Malaysia right now rainy day at the evening or night.. Cool..
😄
Hi ken, I have a question, during the cold war,can you get close to the east german border and take foto,like what you did in this vedio
Hm I'm not sure, I wasn't born back then. But I think yes you could
Hi,
Just to add an explanation to the emptiness on the Malaysia side of the Border Fence.
That's a BUFFER ZONE created by Malaysia. After the Zone, there's another fence with Patrol.
I live in Perlis but have never been to the Thailand side of Padang Besar 😢but I really, really want to.
Good video Ken. I like Thailand
I remember you lived in Malaysia for a while before coming to Thailand, right?
Yeah right, I spent 10 month in Malaysia before coming to Thailand this year 😊
The border fence, makes Malaysia so near yet so far..
Nothing like a Roti Chennai gathering with old friends !
Super sedap 😋👍 ' makan nasi lemak ...roti canai teh tarik mlysia'
what kind of app do you use for translation?
Google translate app ✌
mari datang ke malaysia kembali
That tea pot is for washing hand.Take care bro.
Ha,ha, u're right bro 🤪😇
yea.. you are so close to MaLAYSIA.. but can't cross over.. just watch from the border..and hope you will go over there one day...
I love Captain Awkward!
Its so quiet now... used to be so busy.
يعطيك صحه تحياتي من تونس
Ken , u are from Malaysia last year during the panamic.So how you going abroad to Thailand?Can foreigner enter the thai kingdom now?

U miss malaysia

Ken, basically both Padang Besar in Malaysia and Thailand were the same entity. The region was part of Kedah state which is now in Malaysia. After the new border, Padang Besar left in Thailand is placed under Songkhla province. Have a great adventure 👍🏻
padang besar not in kedah but perlis.
@@firstimer Before 1842, Perlis was under Kedah.
Anglo Siam treaty of 1909 resulting in Kedah, Perlis and Kelantan ( 3 Malaysian states) losing territories.
Perlis lost Pualu Brsmana, Kedah lost Setul and Kelantan lost Tabal ( now tak Bai) to Siam.
But the most tragic part was Britain agreed to Siam' s annexation of Pattani.
Our club is same same Werder Bremen, can say it small, hahaha !! Enjoy the trip, hope to see you cheer Thai football 😉
When does the new season start?
Champions League: 22 June to 11 July in Bangkok; Thai League 31 July kick-off.
