7.38 Saran Vanitkul was talking about his "Kong" (grand father in Chinese) cooking the crispy rice noodle that was appreciated by King Rama 5. I think the one who was cooking the crispy noodle should be his great grand father, not the grand father since it took place more than 140 years ago.
Thanks for a lovely video. What do you guys use to lower contrast and take some edge off the digital sharpness of the video? Some kind of diffusion filter?
Just found your channel out lately and it just consumed up the time I should work!!!! Glad to see the couple new videos smashing view counts! However, I wouldn't consider a 4:28 somtam as 'Laos' as it should get. None of (ok, tiny exaggeration here) the Laos or NE Thais have their Somtam with fish sauce instead of 'Plara' - a thick, unfiltered freshwater fish sauces fermented with grounded roasted sticky rice - seasoning. Somtam with normal fish sauce are called literally 'Somtam THAI'. Maybe that Plara can be the next topic you can dive into.
Yes, you're right- this was one of the first videos we ever filmed (WAY before we actually launched the channel) and I'd definitely use clearer language if we did it again. We will get much deeper into that subject in the future. Thanks so much for the kind words and glad you're enjoying our content! Apologies for any mistakes in our earliest videos- I'm sure there are several.
@@OTRontheroad It's not a mistake at all! Variations in how foods are prep are beauties! I mean Tam Thai is definitely a (milder version of) somtam that dissiminated and adapted to the test of people in the central plain. Just wanna point you to another potential topic for future videos (Oh, the world of 'Somtam' itself is also super interesting). Plara has quite a potential as it links to how people in the NE adapt their meals to the geography and seasonal flooding. It has always been a backbone of Laos and NE Thais cusine. You can almost trace where the city states in the NE plateau ended and where the influence of the central plain empire start with plara in the dish. Look at how they make somtam in Korat for example (well, though now NE people has gone everywhere in search of jobs and opportunities in life, bringing along their cusine). There are some other variations of the similar salty seasoning sauce like 'Nam Pu' in the north or 'Nam budu' (in your Kaw Yam) and 'Tai Pla' in the south. Even in few districts in a tiny valley of the farthest corner of NE plateau that has their own version of 'Nam Pak Sathon' from fermented leaves. The diversity of these merky black salty sauces in Thailand is truly worth diving in. I think in many way they are similar to the 'sataw' episode. You either love them or hate them but they are surely explosions of taste. Glad that you enjoy the food culture in my home country and looking forward to seeing more of your great works! cheers!!
Spot on. It’s almost impossible to find a good Gai Yang, Som Tum, Kow Nieuw in the States, at least, I’ve found it to be so so far. Yet I don’t know a Thai person in the States that doesn’t love it.
Finally, I have my 5 favourite SEA food vlogger catch phrases. (forgive me some are spelt to attempt to denote the accent. 1. 'Mai ped Mai aroy' MS 2. 'Oooooooooh Wooooooow' MW 3. 'Baaaaaahhn Mieuuuuaaeee' MM 4. *pretty much anything Flora says F&N 5. 'Is that a F**king ceramic charcoal oven??!!' OTR
i still remember when i ate the pork skin salad with deep fried sticky rice, from a old granda near emquatier, i first thougth the pork skin is some kind of noodle , and was thinking , wow, this noodle is so tasty almost have meat flavor, 😂🤣 , nice video, thank you
Hah thanks for watching! I might even know that vendor- I've had it from a seller near Emquartier under Phrom Phong BTS, she's not there very often but it's always awesome to find
I think it's about the big NEWS in Thailand last year. A good opthalmologist doctor died by the crush of policeman bigbike at the zebra way in front of hospital. Her nickname is Kratai means rabbit in Thai This News is very shocked by Thai People and has a campaign about a safety traffic rules.
watch the video on Hangover Cures! That's the closest I've come to that topic so far- filmed that one with the three pioneers of brewing in Thailand (Toon from UPB, Yod from Yod Bar, and the Chit Beer owner). I REALLY want to do a long video on beer here but given the laws about promotion of alcohol, I don't want to risk getting my friends in trouble. Hopefully those laws change soon.
Have been there off the air a few times. It's really close to our favorite Southern Thai neighborhood and can be fun to walk around. Only filmed there once- in our Isaan video with Gary Butler who is a very big fan of Wang Lang
While I agree with your point that most Thai restaurants/eateries are based around a specific type of food, there are plenty of restaurants that serve a bit of everything. They just tend to be proper sit down restaurants, rather than eateries or street food vendors.
As a chef you should know that drinking water - no matter how cold it is - does not stop the chilli heat in your mouth. The only things that will help are plain boiled rice, milk or bread. While beer is great to eat with Thai food it doesn't lower the heat in your mouth.

The shots, the narrative, the history-- it's all amazing.
Thank you so much for explaining, Adam.
Fantastic job!!!
I liked learning about the foods in the different regions. It all sounds so delicious!

Good stuff guys and gal....
The Sriracha video made me subscribe to this channel. I naturally have to watch every video now!
Thank you!
Looking forward otr to documenting history for Malaysian food that is more diverse

Love your video / Thai fan
At 5:00 is that a human and rabbit crossover? Or a walk you rabbit here sign
Ok it's the middle of the night in Thailand but now I won't be able to sleep without figuring out the answer

Issan somton’s different though, there is plara in issan style somtom
Best side of the river...but don't tell anyone! 😀
In the spirit of Anthony Bourdain. Come to Morocco A!
IDK you went to Wang Lhang yet. There are ton of food selling there I really recommend! (But it may difficult to film because of the chaos)😊

สวัสดี🙏welcome to Thailand 🇹🇭 🎉

That bar know their s*** when they don't put ice in the beer
100 year old restaurant! I wonder if there are any that have been in business longer. In the US, there are very few places with a long history.
👍👍
Wonderful stuff!! Now if you can watch NFL football while eating Isaan food and shooting the shit with Amir, that would make my day!!
That describes a pretty perfect morning. Come down to Bangkok, I'll stream a Cardinals game for you on my laptop
@@OTRontheroad Gotta get Amir to visit too!!
