This made me cry! This is my aunt's restaurant and I haven't been able to go back in 15 years! My mom thankfully is just as great of a cook but this makes me miss Lampang very much! I'm so glad you enjoyed our family's restaurant and the ever so delicious Sai Ua! Thank you for bring ' home' to me even if it's via you tube!
Delaney21925 Wow, so cool, thank you very much for sharing, I really appreciate it. My wife and I loved the food and your aunt - she's incredibly nice. Thank you to your family for being so hospitable, and for making such delicious food!
sometimes when i eat, i watch your videos pretending i'm eating what you're eating. but the reactions aren't the same. craving some classic southern asian foods right now.
I have finally figured it out after watching a lot of his videos. If you wanna know how much he enjoys the food, just see how long he closes his eyes when he does his signature reaction. The longer he closes, the more he likes it!
New subscriber here! I love Bangkok, and my family always travel to Bangkok every year for family vacations. I'm studying in Australia alone now and watching your videos bring back so much memories with my family!
Emily Fung Hey Emily, nice to meet you, thank you for subscribing. Very cool to hear that you visit Bangkok yearly. Have you done some traveling around Thailand too?
I must say Mark that must be one of your all time thai eateries!! You were completely lost for words to express how tasty and satisfying that meal was for you, I won't be back in the land of smiles until September but rest assured I will definitely make it a priority to eat in that cafe! Thank you yet again for an amazing taste fest of joy! Ryan.
lolski5 well if it's good bread and cheese, it's just as delicious :) if you're eating supermarket bread with a dozen preservatives and dough conditioners and processed cheese, well then I do feel a bit sorry :D
Thanks a lot for this video. We where in Lampang and visited this place. While it was closed, they spontaniously opened it for us. The improvised meal was great and we got some nice side dishes too.
It's really cool how some of the places you eat at have plates of boiled/steamed vegetables and sauces to dip them in. I've never seen that before in other cuisines. Great way to eat healthy!
It's so nice and funny to see how some restaurant owners/staff react to the filming. I noticed (in Mark's videos) a lot of them keep an eye to the camera or interact with Mark.
pezao143 Yah, I think that's true, we rare say what we're doing, and just go for it, so I think sometimes they're just wondering what's going on, but when I'm filming I rarely notice as I'm looking to the camera.
Lol, been there over 20 times, going again in 14 days time. Covered damned near every inch of the country on motorbike, from Narathiwat to Nong Khai, Chiang rai, etc etc. MSG is hard to get away from. Yes it is healthier (in general) than the shite we eat, but to say its very healthy is over egging the pudding in the extreme.
Rain Pena....I feel your pain. I have no fridge where I live (frequent blackouts) so we usually have no food at all in the house. I'm so spoiled from living in America, but slowly getting used to it. That's why (I think) most Asians try to eat many times throughout the day, so you're never too far from your last meal.
Hi Mark! I absolutely love watching your videos! One of my favourite dishes is Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles). Have you ever come across a yummy pad kee mao dish in Thailand? If so, can you please upload a video because I would love to go try it when I go to Thailand one day (hopefully to go visit the refugee camp in Chonburi where I was born) . Keep up the good work. Lots of love from Australia :)
hotchocococo Hi, great to hear from you, thank you for sharing. Yes, I eat pad kee mao occasionally, and I will try to make a video for it in the future. I hope you can come back to Thailand in the future. Thank you for your support!
Mark Wiens Hi Mark! That would be so great! My husband and I adore Thai food; if we're not out eating it at a restaurant, I'll be making some sort of Thai dish (with your help of course!). It would be very special for me to return to Thailand to go see my birth place, and also to explore this country that means so much to me. Hopefully it'll be some time soon! When we do go to Thailand, we'd love to say hi to you and your beautiful wife Ying :) Our favourite days are Sundays and Wednesdays, love watching your new videos! And your previous videos too. You are a very inspiring person with a lovely kind soul and it makes us so happy watching your videos. Please keep up your wonderful work and may you both always be safe. Lots of love from Coco
Hi Mark ! I definitely gonna buy ur book guide because I love ur channel and I wanna support your travel and food tours. I'm a food and travel lover too !!
aha... I will have to definitely find some time between writing my thesis to have some food there. If it is recommended by you, it has to be good =). Thanks Mark!
i wonder if you do the head sway even when you're just eating a home cooked meal. i can just imagine you eating alone at home and just swaying you're head after every bite lol.
Been watchin ur videos for a while already and they are awsome next time before u try tasting the dishes you should try with sticky rice first then taste without since their are soo much flavors in lao and thai dishes thats y the rice helps balance out he strong flavors
Not only do the people seem really friendly, they seem really curious. Did you have to edit out the visits from the older lady in yellow because she kept coming over to the table?
Bobby B Thanks Bobby. She was really nice, I think she wanted to keep an eye on us and keep giving us more samples of her dishes. Yah, sometimes I have to because the audio or video just doesn't work out.
Hey Mark. I love Gang Hunglay, but I've only tried it twice. One version I had was not sweet at all, but creamy and full of lean pork cubes. The other version was sweet with with sweet, fatty pork. What is the traditional preparation of Gang Hunglay? Thanks!
man, how did u eat all those together at one sitting? all those look great..am getting hungry...next year going to bangkok and hope i can remember all these dishes then so can try out..:)
This made me cry! This is my aunt's restaurant and I haven't been able to go back in 15 years! My mom thankfully is just as great of a cook but this makes me miss Lampang very much!

wow I hope you get the chance to visit your aunt again, she looks so nice and adorable :)
sometimes when i eat, i watch your videos pretending i'm eating what you're eating. but the reactions aren't the same. craving some classic southern asian foods right now.
Lol, u r totally mee! Heheee :D
LOLOL!!! Hey found you!!!
Haha I thought I was the only one that did that
hawj, you should come to Cambodia...we have some great food too, just like Thailand (just not as spicy!)
hawj89 Haha, I really appreciate it. Hope we can all have a meal together sometime!
I like how Mark makes an effort with his pronounciations of the native languages of the countries he visits.
I have finally figured it out after watching a lot of his videos. If you wanna know how much he enjoys the food, just see how long he closes his eyes when he does his signature reaction. The longer he closes, the more he likes it!
Ilove your face when you take your first bite and explains what you are tasting...makes me hungry to go to Thailand.
Thank you Mark Weins For Review.
I'm Grandma(Mae Hae)'s nephew.
Welcome all to Enjoy Northern Thai Food at Mae Hae Restuarant in Lampang. :)

The colour of the rice looks absolutely sensational 😋 always watching your videos when I'm hungry haha!
I`m always getting hungry when I see your videos.
Wish I were closer to Thailand.
Thanks from DK.
Thaifood lover nr 1
My 4 slices of bread with cheese suddenly didnt seem so delicious...damn I love your videoes.
I feel you
dont eat so much cheese :D
zen siert cheese is love, cheese is life!
Cheese is fat. Better buy real Swiss cheese for some more bugs and Rat less but get the full flavour.
lolski5 well if it's good bread and cheese, it's just as delicious :) if you're eating supermarket bread with a dozen preservatives and dough conditioners and processed cheese, well then I do feel a bit sorry :D
I'm eating breakfast right now while watching you eat, aaaahhh I'm so envy! My cereal with milk don't taste that good😱😄 thanks Mark!
Thanks a lot for this video. We where in Lampang and visited this place. While it was closed, they spontaniously opened it for us. The improvised meal was great and we got some nice side dishes too.
mark has the best job in the world
Awesome video and thanks for showing the best northern foods.
Always watch your videos before dinner time to make my meal better! I like it when you are telling us the price for your meals.
LoveIsPurpleNotPink Thank you very much!
You're the man Mark! I enjoy your videos!
It's really cool how some of the places you eat at have plates of boiled/steamed vegetables and sauces to dip them in. I've never seen that before in other cuisines. Great way to eat healthy!
im pregnant n seeing all the yummy food u shareing makes me want to go Thailand just to eat,
fresh meals..your expression was lovely..
It's so nice and funny to see how some restaurant owners/staff react to the filming. I noticed (in Mark's videos) a lot of them keep an eye to the camera or interact with Mark.
pezao143 Yah, I think that's true, we rare say what we're doing, and just go for it, so I think sometimes they're just wondering what's going on, but when I'm filming I rarely notice as I'm looking to the camera.
Mark Wiens Probably so, and it seems they also get excited that their restaurant might get famous (which it actually does hehe).
I usually watch ur videos at night. Idk why hehe it makes me hungry lol. Gr8 video mark
อร่อยทุกอย่างครับร้านนี้ๆ...
i am addicted to your videos
Your reactions are the best. I love your videos.
When I was in Lampang, this is my favorite restaurant so far.
Impressive video! The food looks amazing!!!
It all looks so delicious.
looks like a very fulfilling, delicious, and comforting meal. thanks for sharing
Looks like this restaurant is A+. You eat and eat and never put on a pound....you lucky guy !
Toni MacTavish Thank you Toni, yes an amazing restaurant.
Mark Wiens I was wondering the same. how do you keep your weight in control?
+Toni MacTavish in Thai dishes, there are always herbs and some ingredients that help to control weight.
+goldenfarm Along with a ton of msg, its in damned near everything not to mention sugar. Thai foods reputation for being healthy is ill deserved.
Lol, been there over 20 times, going again in 14 days time. Covered damned near every inch of the country on motorbike, from Narathiwat to Nong Khai, Chiang rai, etc etc. MSG is hard to get away from. Yes it is healthier (in general) than the shite we eat, but to say its very healthy is over egging the pudding in the extreme.
I hate watching you at 12am, with only milk, BBQ sauce and butter in the fridge! Seriously suffering from major food envy...
Me too. Had to go to my fridge, but only yogurt.
But yogurt is more healty :D
Rain Pena....I feel your pain. I have no fridge where I live (frequent blackouts) so we usually have no food at all in the house. I'm so spoiled from living in America, but slowly getting used to it. That's why (I think) most Asians try to eat many times throughout the day, so you're never too far from your last meal.
i was watching this thinking i had seen it before then i remembered vessel but i still watched it anyway
ps you have the best job
dany fatso Ah cool, thanks Dany!
Looks amazing, Mark! Happy Easter if you celebrate it :)
trumpet craz Thank you, happy Easter to you as well.

Cool
So the curries that are sitting outside, are they served cold?
MRACPD Alpha Yes, they are served room temp, but they are occasionally reheated to kill bacteria, and then you might get a hot one.
