Khao Soi is so good! There is a place in Samui that does it so good! Also for those who don't like spice much, pad Thai is a must and I would also say Massaman
the thai national dish is tom yam khung which is a great evening dish to sit in a restuarant, but i think pad krapow is by far the most popular and eaten as you said from street food to 5 star dinning, never had any problems eating street food always enjoy it more than restuarants thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the share, I’ve tried Tom yam kung before but wasn’t for me. I’d be open to giving it another blast at some point tho for sure! I agree re street food, I rarely find restaurants taste better 👍🏻
The food you reviewed looked great. I had a curry dish there once, don't remember which o e, but I didn't care much for the curry smell or taste. And the noodles were a bit rubbery. That I didn't care for either. But the rest of what you showed looked great and I want to try those. Thank you.
Khao soi is my favourite personally. I’ve had a few flavourless curries here that I haven’t liked and don’t want again, a fair few I haven’t tried but just don’t fancy. Khao soi doesn’t get enough love imo, you might like it, panang curry I’m sure you’ll like 😏
@joshbonthemove Thank you for letting me know that not all curry dishes have the same taste. I will write down those you have mentioned and give them a try along with the other dishes you reviewed that looked and sounded great to me. 🙂
I’m not a fan of the sticky rice with the moo ping 😅, especially when eating on the go. Agreed re the ripe mangoes, makes such a difference. Thanks for the comment!
It’s a difficult one actually, I know it can be hard explaining it. I’m no DR but try to take caution with what you choose to eat and have a Thai translation of your allergy on hand to explain when ordering 🙏🏻
Nice video! I've got two months of food trial-and-errors coming. Excited and nervous at the same time. I've already promised myself to not eat any American fast food lol. This is going to be an adventure!
@@josh.onthemove Yes, it does. It looks good and it must have been very tasty as well. Thailand is known for its Food. To bad, Thailand is not close to my Home. I would like, to have it delivered at least once a Week.
I personally would replace massaman curry with papaya salad. But that’s probably because I’m not a curry person. I don’t even crave Khaosoi unless I’m in the north 😆
There is nothing interesting about Thailand. Malaysia is very beautiful with the friendliness of the people and many other interesting things in Malaysia.
Great food options. I don't want to be 'that guy' but it's best not to wai everyone, especially staff. The wai is reserved when greeting people that you look up to, respect, of a higher 'status'. I know this perhaps a 'uncomfortable' thing to say, but its the truth. A waitress might wai you when you meet them/pay/leave, but in that example you are not to wai back. Just my 2 cents. From ChatGPT: As a foreigner ("farang") living in Thailand, the wai is an important aspect of Thai culture to understand, but it can sometimes be tricky to get right. The wai is both a greeting and a sign of respect. Here's a guide to help you navigate when to wai and when not to: Who to wai: Elders and Superiors: You should wai people older than you, especially if they are in a higher social or professional position (e.g., teachers, bosses, or government officials). Monks: Wai monks as a sign of deep respect. When waiing a monk, make sure your hands are at a higher level than usual (almost to the forehead). In Formal Settings: If you are introduced in a formal setting, it is polite to initiate a wai, especially if the person is of higher status or seniority. Out of Courtesy: If someone greets you with a wai, it’s polite to return it unless they are in a position where they shouldn’t expect one (more on this below). Who not to wai: Children or People Much Younger Than You: You do not wai children or those much younger than you. It is not expected. Service Workers: Typically, you don't wai people like waitstaff, taxi drivers, or shop assistants, although they may wai you as a sign of respect or customer service. You can smile or nod in return. Friends and Peers: You don’t need to wai friends or people of equal status in casual settings. A simple nod or smile is sufficient. Western-style Greetings: In some situations, especially with other foreigners or Thai people familiar with Western culture, a handshake may be preferred. Key Points: Respect: The wai is more about respect than greeting. It's not necessary to wai everyone you meet. Hand Position: The position of your hands is important. For monks, hold your hands higher than you would for others. For equals or slightly older people, your hands should be at chest or nose level. Initiating: If you’re unsure, it’s better to wait for the other person to initiate, especially with people of a similar age or status. Being respectful and modest will be appreciated, even if you're not perfect in your wai etiquette. Thais understand that foreigners are learning, and a friendly smile can go a long way.
Thank you for this information, I am sure it's 100% accurate. I am an American, and I do love Thai culture and Thai people. I have been to Thailand once, for a short period of time. When I was there, I had no idea of what it meant to Wai, and I knew no Thai language at all. Not even hello. I know how to say hello now, and I want to learn a few more words and phrases because I plan to go back to Thailand. I now know what it means to Wai, and I want to be respectful of everyone. I think I would have a hard time not giving a Wai to someone if they gave me a Wai. Regardless of their status or position, because I feel every decent acting person deserves respect. I don't want to be looked down on, or like a fool if they prefer a foreigner not to give a Wai. The limited Thai that I know will probably sound pretty awful as well, but I want to try. I do appreciate your information and explanations as to why.
@@daustin1025 Thanks for this comment! I feel exactly the same, I respect Thai culture and every culture however I would treat a janitor the same as a CEO - it's the way I am and have been brought up. This is very useful information and I'm also sure it's technically correct but in my experience, Thai coaches or 'superiors' of mine have always greeted me giving me a Wai, despite being in a higher position than me. I don't Wai everybody but if I can show respect and manners, even if I get it slightly wrong here and there, I'd rather come across as slightly more polite/ respectful than slightly rude.
@joshbonthemove I agree with your statement completely! I was raised with similar values when it comes to how we should treat our fellow decent human beings. Some may be more famous, smarter, more talented, or more wealthy, but noone is better than anyone else, no matter what position in life they hold. They should all be treated with equality and respect. I, too, would rather be seen as slightly wrong while trying to be respectful and polite, than slightly rude because I chose to do nothing.
Wrong. If someone pays you respect, you could accept it with a wai. You just don’t bow your head when accepting it from younger people or service staff. Trust me, I am Thai.
@chadjiansinlapadamrong not sure which aspect you are referring to when you say "wrong". The no one is better than anyone else part, or when to Wai part. That being said, no one is better than anyone else. As far as the Wai goes, I will try to do it properly as I am not looking to offend anyone. But I will probably not get it 100% correct 100% of the time. As far as trust goes, with all due respect, I don't know you.
Khao Soi is so good! There is a place in Samui that does it so good! Also for those who don't like spice much, pad Thai is a must and I would also say Massaman
My favourite mate! Pad Thai is a safe and simple bet, Massaman nearly made the list, maybe a V2.0 in the future 😏

You got my attention as I know these are all definitely dishes not to miss! Take Care Buddy...
Every one is tip top mate! Next time you’re here you know what to do 👊🏻

I want to try "pad kra pao moo krob" (crispy pork) It's very delicious.
I do too haha!
Moo Ping should always have with Sticky Rice. 😊
Make sure you find the really good ripen mangoes for this dessert. 😊
I’m not a fan of the sticky rice with the moo ping 😅, especially when eating on the go. Agreed re the ripe mangoes, makes such a difference. Thanks for the comment!
สวัสดีค่ะ🙏ทานให้อร่อยนะคะ🤤🤤🇹🇭
😁😁

👊🏻
What is your advice for those of us with allergies?
Great video 👏

Haha defo some eating experiences coming your way! I’ve had a sneaky McDonald’s here and there I can’t lie… enjoy your trip!
You are a bad Boy, you just made me hungry, thats not fair !.
Hahah that means the video done a good job, khao soi is the best imo 👌🏻

Welcome to Thailand sir 🙏🏻💕🇹🇭🫶🏻🐘💯🥊
Thank you 🙏🏻
Mango sticky rice is the best
Unrivalled 🐐
Josh, I hope that spicy 🌶️ pad ka prao didn’t hurt your stomach too much the next morning 😅 hahahaha
Hahaha it’s always a little gamble 😅
I personally would replace massaman curry with papaya salad. But that’s probably because I’m not a curry person. I don’t even crave Khaosoi unless I’m in the north 😆
Wow papaya salad is not even near my top 10 haha! Thanks for the comment!
My favourite 5 are larb moo, penang gai , pad kaprow gai , blah muck nung manao , gang gary gai. Excuse the spelling.
That’s a solid list minus the fish 🤣. Thanks for the comment!
Looks good lol! Have you still got that crazy dog!?
I heard she’s on holiday 👀
🥭 🍚 💘
The best dessert!
When you eat curry , you must accompany it with steamed rice
Maybe 🤔
