Its like watching paint dry now ...and again having a dig at negative comments .. theres only so many stir fried vegetable and peanut dishes one can be interested in .its all becoming predictable DJ ..
You need to make a fluid list of your top ten eateries per area, it will help travellers to Thailand, btw I think Geoff Carter is your area at the moment, how about that then
Darren. You love your steak. Try a Northern Thai dish called 'Crying Tiger'. Translated is 'Sua Rong Hai'. (Sua is tiger. Rong Hai is to cry). Very different spicy sauce with strips of char grilled beef steak. Try with sticky rice ( Khao Niaw ). Absolutely delicious. PROD restaurant in Pattaya is apparently a good place for both. .
Hi Darren, your Sweet and Sour, looks so Fantastic 🎉 and Som Tam Papaya Salad. I loved when you were in Prague and You said, Look at my Hair, but i don't Care. 😍 It still makes me laugh to this day. 🎉 Thankyou for this video Darren
Thanks DJ. You are finding your way around now. Good for you. Great smile, sunshine. Like it. Shows you are enjoying Thailand. The food content is always interesting. Keep it coming.😊
Darren your vlogs are not what they could be, the food ones are being knocked out as easy content but they don't really say a lot. I do wonder if you like doing YT as often it seems you can't be arsed to make engaging content. Guaranteed if you feel the need to say you are ok with negative comments and you are thick skinned... You aren't. Please revitalise the food content, widen your vocabulary if possible. Thai flavours are so varied but we don't get much of a description. You say you want authentic Thailand then move to Pattaya... Bit like wanting authentic Spain and moving to Benidorm. I don't understand. Anyway, I'm sure this will either get deleted or your 'hired help' in the comments will be all over it. And yes it is true I don't have to watch. Just I know the vlogs can be better. Cheers.
That place reminds me of the old Tin Cup on Soi Buakhao, might be the same people because they moved a while back. When I don't fancy spicy I sometimes go for oyster sauce dishes like chicken and mushroom and the cabbage wedge with the som tam you can use to scoop up like a wrap, the locals tend to have cold rice noodles with theirs as well. Just had another Khao Soi here love the stuff. Cheers
Amazing value I got a chicken shish kebab last night it cost me £12 bloody quid the price of takeaway food in England is absolutely ridiculous for the first time I'm actually considering Thailand for my retirement.
The sweet and sour didn't look that appetising but might be nicer elsewhere. I am so intrigued to try papaya salad next time I go to my Thai restaurant.
@@danielcully6047 Family Mart then 🤣. Thanks for correcting me. We stayed at a guest house on the market square back in 2011 and got our supplies there.
Must be Cheaper to Eat out more or less every Meal, What was the large White Jobby on the Salad Plate? Both looked so Refreshing , i think id have mine a littles less Spicey lol Have You settled in fully now ? , Could You do a Short Vid about the Weather, Seasons if they have them ,Humidity etc Thanks Great Vid 👍
There is a Mediterranean restaurant called the place that I keep meaning to go to, you past it near action street also the Italian over the road that I will try, however give the french restaurant a try over the road from tuk com on the side street. There are 2 French restaurants. David S tried one with his wife. So much selection in Pattaya
Exactly...and for insulin resistant people like DJ, it certainly is not good. In the long run...Its not eating heavily that puts on the weight. It's the amount of sugar you are asking your body to deal with....and its default mode is to store it around your belly butt and chin(s)
True, "Coke Zero" / "Diet Coke" etc is as bad as "the real thing." Best to stick to water, which quenches thirst better in the heat anyway, and sip regularly to avoid dehydration 👍
Fact - Coke Zero and all low sugar soft drinks spike blood sugar far more than their normal sugar counterparts. Dreadful stuff and should be avoided as much as possible by kids and adults….especially people who are T2D, insulin resistant or have metabolic syndrome. But…at the end of the day, people should eat what they want and drink what they want, whenever they want….that’s right isn’t it folks? 🤷🏼♂️ After all, that’s what our bodies (especially our brain, heart, liver, kidneys, arteries, blood vessels, cells etc.) are designed for aren’t they?
Be careful on the bike Darren. I saw another video where it was said that on average 60 people a day are killed on motorcycles in Bangkok. After watching that video its easy to see why.
Darren do you like pork scratchings if yes you need to try deep fried duck beak I’m not sure where you will get it though. If you ask a Thai person I’m sure they will send you in the right direction I got addicted to them it was like eating duck pork scratchings lush
DJ details are everything comments like "this is don't know the name of the place" "you know kinda where it is, it's opposite those places" are pointless and considering this is now your full time job it comes across as though you can't be bothered to do any research into your videos. You need to improve this else you won't have the viewers to support your channel in the future.
Serious question wonder in Thailand if they have takeaways like our just eat and Uber eats etc? Like if he could get a food delivery to his condo if he wanted to??….
More lonely living alone in depressing London. When our kids grow up they have their own lives. London is very lonely even with lots of friends and family.
Good man Darran...Enjoy ur few days away ...Also what name of Restaurant beside lycem theatre you go to ..we going over in march and looks great food 👌
Absolutely loving the Thailand vids DJ , every single one is so goo to watch , the amount of negative comments makes my blood boil, you’re living the dream mate , so happy for you !!
I've not seen you try Kao Mon Gai which is a type of chicken with cucumber, a spicy sauce and a side broth style soup, give it a try. its delicious! Som Tum I always had daily too with sticky rice so thinking you might appreciate giving that a go! 😛😛👍👍
Hi DJ . Yes you do need a haircut maybe try out a different barber shop this time. The meal look good But the second meal no I say I need to fill my belly up lol Also I don’t like to much spiced foods Only 20% spice Because I like to enjoy the foods
Keep the comments coming you’re thick skinned. Ok so you are deliberately taking the piss with your pronunciation of Pattaya. You say I’m trying to keep it authentic but you reverted back to the bogan version. I don’t give a toss but I can’t believe you are genuinely a future Thai inhabitant if you don’t even want to get the basics right. Thais hate smart arses so after 15 years here I agree with them.

DJ Living next country to you, I have the same problem with the rice If I’m on my own I just ask them for half or a quarter, they’re fine with that. If I’m with a regular local fren, they say ‘give me’!!! Win win!! 😄😄😄😄
`you can't be first because you haven't made a comment on the video, and you haven't watched the video because you posted 3 minutes after it first started, so go and play another stupid game

Enjoy your day

Darren i will always be a supporter of yours ( i think you know that already or i hope you do). Loved the video and the general all-round feel good vibe in this video. The food looked tasty but so far everything looks really, really good food-wise in Pattaya.
Darren it doesn't matter how u say things there is not really a correct way because everyone is different hold ur head up high u have done a lot going to a different country because you wanted to just remember good or bad comments there still interested in ur videos once again keep up the good work I love watching ur videos on both channels

Itll be another breakfast tomorrow. In the same place as other random Pattaya vloggers have been.
@martyc4599 very little new in Pattaya or Thailand that anyone can vlog now. If he thinks this will fund his life in Thailand, he's in for a shock.
Remember to order your Somtum by number of chilies eg 2-3, so you can have Constance level of spiciness every time.
Thick skinned 😅 No you ain't, when you get a negative comment you just block them 😒

Seriously it looked crap
Soooooooooooo fresh Darren 👍
Lovely stuff have a great day Dj ❤
DJ these videos are really making me want to visit Thailand!! I'm wondering if I can get a papaya salad in the UK also.
Great content as always.
Err papaya salad.,.like at most every Thai, Malaysian, Singapore restaurant...or get a papaya n make your own?
@@65Lynchyyeah was probably a silly comment 😂
Its just not where my eyes go when im looking at the nenu.
D.j another nice meal that,s one I also like nothing harmful in that meal tasty .Alf .
Great food as always, the Som Tam Papaya Salad especially although I would have it mild and not spicy. Seemed a nice little place. 😊
Try the Cold Lipton Tea sugar free from the fridge at 7/11. Really refreshing
Careful in that street, lots girls wanna be your friend, Darren! 😉😂
😢
Didn't mean to make you sad, Nel
He’s ok I think he had that old bird checking him out in the swimming pool the other day she was eyeing him right up😳

How strangle is that

Love a bit of sweet and sour mate!
That looks like a good place!
Ice tea my man with no sugar, nice video ! Stay safe
Oh, look. Yet another stir fry video! How original.
Chicken sweet and sour is one of my favourite dishes 😊

Hi Darren, is living there proving to be all you hoped for and more???? 🤗👍
There is nothing different between the two channels, both show travel and food so what's the point🤔
Revenue
Does it matter
The point is we enjoy both , Darren is living the dream .
@@JohnWalker-ho4gltwice the revenue 😂
It's terminally boring now
Great choice of meal there. Try the beef and pork options as well next time.
Enjoy mate ,get yourself a glass of wine mate or a bottle ❤️
i love making sweet and sour at home....great vlog brother
Gosh ….the food always looks tremendous and makes me hungry …… I bet the standard is pretty constant ?
Got to say that looked really tasty.
It would be nice to see a fish dinner and a vegan dinner as well!
The sweet and sour didn't look that appetising but might be nicer elsewhere. I am so intrigued to try papaya salad next time I go to my Thai restaurant.
I definitely won't tell my mam and family about some guy in Pattaya 😮

Tell us instead then.

6:26 Another big chunk of cabbage with the papaya salad 🥗. Do you eat it like a biscuit? 😋 We're having homemade fish and chips 🇫🇷🇪🇺+1👍.
Maybe use it to scoop the salad and use it as a cup? Am guessing. I couldn't make out what it was. Thought it might be a bread roll 😅
If you have any concerns about diabetes Coke Zero is unfortunately a poor choice. The aspartame can raise blood sugar.
