Luv your always smiling face, always seems happy, and your exotic Thai adventure. Thnx for the vlog. Thais seems to used a lot of spices, herbs in their cooking, makes a lot more flavourful, I guessed compare to Filipino dishes. Tcare, stay safe👍🥰 What's the crocodile like?🐊
Hi Jonathan, I grew up in New Jersey and on the beaches there they had lots of those Horseshoe Crabs at certain times of the year. There was a lot of people on the beaches at Sunset. I guess that area is full of tourists vacationing there.
I don't know how I've never seen horseshoe crabs before! Yes, Phuket is one of the most touristy islands in the country. It's beautiful with amazing food everywhere, but the volume of tourists takes away from the charm (I know I'm a hypocrite because I'm a tourist too hahah)
I've been looking to buy a camera for my upcoming Philippines trip. Thinking I had to go expensive. Then I see in the description that Jonathan uses a GoPro. And to me the videos look fine. I guess it goes to show, it's not the fancy equipment, but the content of the video that matters most.
Oh nice! Enjoy! South Palms is nice! And the Moadto strip mall beach, but that’s farther away. If you get to south palms early in the morning there aren’t other people yet.. I like to go there just after sunrise 😎 enjoy!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Oh okay.Thanks We are here for 7days but so far we touring around bohol by scooter Travelling morning and back in our accomodation afternoon😆 Its nice but after a long ride my butt is sore😂 sitting in the motorbike.Tomorrow will be at Henann beach resort for 2nights then gotta head back down to mindanao 😆
Get hungry watching your vids young man. Admire your education of so many countries languages. Great vid today. Have to catch me some fish tomorrow. Bowfishing Tilapia. Always fun.✌
it's morning here in the Philippines 6:51 am but it's already jonathan vlog update na naman ako :) 🥹 early my bfast 😂😊 hehehe have a great day in Thailand 🇹🇭 Godbless 😇ingatss
Thailand is safer than most western countrys where the Us are in the bottom numbers, main thing that happens to tourists are low level scams pickpocket and (drunk)westerners fighting westerners. So dont be drunk stupid or naive..as in any county. One thing is the roads..Never EVER drive in Thailand..That's really dangerous
😂 I always eat rice with it at night because I'm going to sleep soon and don't need energy, but if I eat rice with lunch then I'm lethargic for the rest of the day and unproductive. If I've already edited and filmed a lot in the morning, sometimes I'll have it with lunch because I've already accomplished what I need to do for the day. It always depends on what I need to do in the afternoon
My opinion street foods too many to choose, overwhelming for me I would be careful what you put on body,? good luck and stay safe and healthy out there 🙏 thanks for posting your video, informative and educational
9:59 Who are you asking here? Can you put them on camera? Oh, you were talking to us.😄 I'm glad that I was eating when I watched this, or else I would have been tempted to start eating meat, again. That food looked delicious.
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Rong Bay at 157 Nanai Rd, Pa Tong, Kathu District, Phuket 83150, Thailand, & others I’ve heard of. The Happy Cactus is good, Mexican I believe. Both near Patong Beach.
I get hungry and I want to taste the crocodile meat. 🤤 Are you going to make a video for the night life there? I'm kinda curious about what you said that it gets wild. . 😅🤔😀
It was good because of the seasoning! But chicken is more tender... I doubt I'll make a nightlife video. Those videos attract the wrong audience on my channel, and there are certain aspects of the nightlife here that I don't really like to be around. It's something tourists go see out of curiosity, but some of what goes on is just sad, honestly. I feel bad for the locals who have to participate in that industry out of need for money. Many of them don't want to do it but don't know of other options to earn a decent income. It's a controversial and complicated topic. I like to keep my channel positive and clean
I've never been to Pattaya for that reason. It seems like that's the main area for it. But honestly you just see it all around tourist areas in the country. It seems to be around most of the nightlife areas
haha he was funny! "Very good very niiice" ... I ate all of the meal and the crocodile,.. I ate most of the Roti but couldn't finish the last few pieces. Of course I paid! I'm not a thief! 😂
@4:50 That's a Horseshoe crab I'll be dammed but I've never heard of anyone eating them. My understanding is that it's blood is supposed to possess special disease curing properties. Let the buyer beware! BTW love the channel. Man you live an interesting life!
oohhh the communication in Thailand is nothing like the Philippines! Most Thais don't speak English well. It's very difficult to communicate with locals in Thailand while the second official language in the Philippines is English.
I think for me that would be one of the most annoying things, everyone trying to sell you something when you just want to walk around, and continuing even after you say "No thank you." That was one of the things about videos in Philippines, when you're trying to eat in PEACE and people constantly coming up to you trying to sell stuff and can't accept the word "NO" and beggars bothering while you eat. They just don't understand how rude and disrespectful it is.
I think it would be more annoying if you were trying to sell stuff and a guy came up with a camera asking you all kinds of questions not intending to buy anything
Phuket is blown out big time. Hua Hin is way better...the Florida of Thailand. Retirees and familes with a little bit of the party vibe. No husslers. Super safe and chill.
True… never a good idea. But it’s much safer to do it in Thailand than a lot of other counties. There are plenty of countries where I would not have done that
Horseshoe crab ....they are getting harder to find as they are now harvested for its blue blood for biomedical research.. Some crazy food you tried. Don't blame you on the bar scene ...I videoed through Walking Street Pattaya before it got busy just to say I was there. I assumed that's what you were doing. Enjoying the trip so far.
Yeah exactly. Most tourists go to those places to see what it's like, and as it's a popular tourist destination it's something I needed to make one video on since I'm in Phuket, but I didn't want to glorify it, promote it, or even show much of it. It's a controversial and complicated issue... a different side of Thailand that all tourists find out about when they visit. I thought it was worth making one video there, but this will be the only one.
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL pork/chicken green curry, panaeng curry, tomyum,tom kha kai(chicken coconut milk curry) ,khoa soi and padkrapraw. You should try all, you'll love them.
Horseshoe crab. Have seen one cooked. Doesn't look very good to me. Be careful telling those guys "Next time, later, etc." When they see you "late" they'll say, "You promised, it's next time."
yep... It's a popular tourist spot in Phuket, so I knew it's an interesting place to make a video, but I'm not a fan of this street or the area, so the next videos will be other beaches and cities.
@@travelescapesOFFICIALI was there in 2006, a year and a half after the tsunami. I spoke with shopkeepers whose stores were still on the beach. They showed me the line of how high the water got there. Lots of tailors there. I bought 7 custom-made shirts for less than $100.
Tell me if gator tastes like chicken? Repeating a word to mean more, very.., or far, is a form of pigeon language. I AM sure many of You have no idea of that meaning.

Was there this time last year
Phuket is a beautiful place but expensive compared to the rest of Thailand
Very interesting video, Jonathan! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks for watching!
Hi Jonathan, enjoy watching your awesome video always.
May God bless, guide and protect you throughout your travels/ life.
From U S A
Thank you so much!! And I wish the same for you!!
There a Horseshoe Crab, found in the States in North Carolina and New Jersey
Love those fresh seafood! Street food is a must try anywhere in the world!
I agree!!
Horseshoe crabs. We have them here in Florida.
Really?! I’m surprised I’ve never seen them.. or maybe just never noticed them
@travelescapesOFFICIAL have only seen them on the west coast. We used to catch them as kids
They get way bigger than those.
NYC too.
There fairly common west coast of Florida. I’ve seen thousands of them during mating season before
Hi jonathan.enjoy your thailand trip.keep safe ❤
thank you Lily Beth!
I stayed at the Seaview Patong Hotel in January and plan to return in June.
Wow have a nice trip and a nice view ,ingat
Thank you!! Ingat!
Nice video, Jonathan. Thanks for sharing some thai foods. I only know mango sticky rice. Ayo ayoo. 🤘🏻
Mango sticky rice is sooo good! But they have so many other great meals as well!
Lami kaayoo!@@travelescapesOFFICIAL
Wow, cant wait to see the next one. I should go there next year for my vacation.
I'm looking forward to posting them! Thailand in general I love, but Phuket specifically gets very crowded with tourists, which I don't love

What's the crocodile like?🐊
Yes it's very flavorful but can be too spicy sometimes hahah... the crocodile was similar to chicken but more tough.. it was good!

@travelescapesOFFICIAL it was pretty tasty. They was fried though.
ooo yeah that's a bit different @@bgalawishuslives3073
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL I wouldn't mind trying them grilled
Thanks for the virtual tour,only been to Thailand airport, that's it.
I like to see your videos, I really like your simple and direct way of filming, it is inspiring for my new channel here in Italy. Thank you (-:
The raw style feels more real. Viewers get a better idea of what the place is actually like
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL thanks for the advice, I will use it for my channel
Happy watching you eating street food.No Crocodiles 🐊 for me i like the banana crepe’s look yummie!Stay Safe in Thailand❤️🩵💙💜🫰

The food?
Have a nice day in Phuket island 🤗😊🫰❤️🎉🎊🇹🇭🏖🏝🌴
Thank you! You too!
It’s called a sting ray :) the fish you didn’t know the name off
11:58 he is saying "Japanese Oishii" which means delicious (or literal beautiful taste)
ooo that's probably what he was saying. I didn't understand him, but he definitely was talking about the food being delicious
Looking forward to watching.
Thanks for always watching, Jason!
Been following you, I don't miss anything 😂
13:07 Hi Jonathan. Great video. But why are you eating rice with your food?
😂 I always eat rice with it at night because I'm going to sleep soon and don't need energy, but if I eat rice with lunch then I'm lethargic for the rest of the day and unproductive. If I've already edited and filmed a lot in the morning, sometimes I'll have it with lunch because I've already accomplished what I need to do for the day. It always depends on what I need to do in the afternoon
Yep..a little too busy for me..I'm heading to the Philippines..small town life is good for me.
Good video very informative.
Are to go boxes available at these food markets?
That’s a good question. I’m not sure about this exact place, but I definitely have gotten to-go boxes at similar places
It's a horseshoe crab
Oh thank you!!
Yes ... and it's a pre-historic arthropod
My opinion street foods too many to choose, overwhelming for me I would be careful what you put on body,? good luck and stay safe and healthy out there 🙏 thanks for posting your video, informative and educational
You're very adventurous for the food
I'll try anything twice is my motto! haha
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL hahaha 😝

YUM bananna Roti is my favorite. Ir originated in India but has the Thai sweetness.
Yummy😎 yummy, yummy👍
Roti is delicious! Yeah! Thais love sweet.. it's a great combo!
Johnathan,that critter with tail is a Horseshoe.
oooh okay thank you!
Food looks good but more expensive than Hua Hin where I live.
How’s Hua Hin in general? I’ve never been there
Hua hin is great. Not party oriented like Phuket or Pattaya (there is a scene here just smaller). I picked Hua Hin because of the low key vibe.
9:59 Who are you asking here? Can you put them on camera?
Oh, you were talking to us.😄
I'm glad that I was eating when I watched this, or else I would have been tempted to start eating meat, again. That food looked delicious.
😂 hahaha I was asking you! hahha just thinking out loud
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL 👍
Ayo ayo! I can't move on with your previous video... You just said "salamat" to a Thai.😅
wait... I didi it again in this video?!? When? 😅
In your previous video only @ 7:49..😅
😂
Looks like you were able to get your Coconut back.
hahahah yeah I got it back!
When you were in the Philippines, what website or apps did you use to find hotels or resorts?
Usually Booking,com or Airbnb. I've even just opened google maps, found a place in the area I wanted to go on the map and went from there
