Come to think of it... I passed through Danok 3-4 years ago. We actually wanted to explore the area north of Kelantan but the driver we were recommended came from Satun so we had to drive the long way around. When we crossed the border I thought the town was called "Sadao", but that's actually the name of the border crossing. Very interesting experience - we had to get in the rented van at the "Duty Free" place a little ways inside Malaysia, and he let us out to cross the border on foot. Looking at Google Maps - there's a "Dinosaur Park" in Danok! Only half a kilometer west of the main road.
Mad quick edit! Loved the Dragonfruit lady... Should have said 'Stuck in the Rain at White Temple because it was Ken's idea to walk' - big ups Ken was a good day!
Wow, another adventurous vlog at Danok town between the border of Thailand and Malaysia. Great of you, Ken to explore, show and share it with us. Thank you very much. I have been there twice and it was very crowded, full of Malaysian tourists. So sad to see it's quite empty now. Guess those holes along the fence were for smuggling purposes, either goods or illegal immigrants.
A very enjoyable video, dog patrolling the border, maybe to stop people looking for Roti Canai. Hahahaha. Loved it. Interaction with the locals show how friendly people are and appreciate you speaking a little of their language.
Please visit national borders in the North , West and East of Thailand - the view is amazing because mostly on the mountains and along Mae Khong River 🙂
Wooo Ken, Food and foot print, travel on veg, as expected you all are in Danok. You vloggers are along Malaysia-Thailand border. What a collaboration. Nice 👍.
Hi Ken & friends , this is awesome , you chartered the taxi isn't that much easier to move around and the driver is happy and patiently waiting for you 👍 really miss Danok we use to go there by day trip and Malaysian people love buying fruits , comforter and all kinds of local products. The town used to be busy and full of tourists now it's empty 😢 really sad that this covid has taken over everywhere. Thanks for taking us around the town and stay safe Ken 👍
So I actually was distracted for a moment when you went into the rain to get your 2 temple shots and when I heard your comment, I had to go back to watch them and yes.. GREAT SHOTS of the little white temple there!!! ^_^ much appreciated effort!!! ^_^
Thanks for taking the initiative to film the white temple in the heavy rain....sorry to know you are wet. A lovely small temple. You will see a more lovely one when you travel to Chiangrai. A wise idea of hiring a 'to and fro' taxi to take you guys there...haha, learnt a lesson from the Padang Besar trip. As the saying goes : Once bitten, twice shy 😁😁
The lady vendors at the street markets are very friendly. Those round small veggies are eggplants/round brinjals. Then, the brownish ones are bamboo shoots. Oh gosh, those small green ones are bitter gourds. Nice of that aunty to let you try one. I know you will not like it as it's bitter but it's very good for health. Usually, we will eat it raw with sambal belacan.
@@KenAbroad People cook them in a variety of ways. Mamak restaurants (especially Nasi Kandar ones) slice them thin and deep-fry them. You can also stuff them with fish paste and steam them, or cut them up and use them in a soup. I suppose you COULD eat them raw, I don't recall ever having done so. You should see if you can find them in local Thai dishes. Also the bamboo shoots.
@@KenAbroad yes, the small ones, can be eaten raw. ( for those who can tolerate the bitterness ) The big ones have to be cooked. Can you still remember the late meal you had with Steve at a Taiwanese restaurant in Bukit Tinggi, M'sia? Steve ordered bitter gourd soup and you didn't like it after a few sips....😀
7:35 More people from Thailand cross over to Malaysia because most daily essentials such cooking gas, diesel, petrol, cooking oil, to name a few, are cheaper in Malaysia. But fruits and "night entertainment" are definitely more and cheaper in Thailand.
A lot of the high security at the border has to do with human trafficking. A lot of the illegal immigrants (mainly from Myanmar and Bangladesh) come in through the Malaysia-Thai border, though not near major towns or official crossings like Danok or Padang Besar. There are a lot of undocumented foreign workers (mainly from Myanmar) in Thailand, as well.
Very interesting border adventure. The vegetable at 15:50 that you took a few bites is a specis of bitter gourd. It is bitter and believed to have medicinal properties.
Sneak through and head south to Penang. Feringghi beach and Balik Pulau are COMPLETELY EMPTY. Balik Pulau (which Im not sure if you’ve covered previously) offers a thousand charms often overshadowed by the blitz and buzzy cosmos of Georgetown. By now im sure you miss Penang food.

Wow its long time coming, here I am again just finished watching all your border series! nice seeing you together with Food & Footprints & Veggies on tour, feels like you all are in Malaysia! This Pandemic doing no good to town border, empty roads and Its not a surprised seeing many holes on the border fence, heard lots of smuggling and all on border! Thanks again Ken, you fullfill Many Malaysian subscriber to watch Malaysia from Thailand....
It’s me again the guy who will keep nagging you to go to Wichianburi for the bbq chicken. Just take a taxi from bangkok to mochit bus terminal and get a ticket to wichianburi. About 200 km from bangkok, after that u can rent a car to go to khao kho the awesome mountain area . Stay at least 2 night there. You won’t regret it. From there u can plan how u want to head north of thailand since u already been to southern thailand
I used to go shooting range club in danok before, but nowdays we only can see Thailand from your vlog ken, really miss to travel again.. 😢.. the temple very similar to ching rai white temple 🥰
I seem to recall there's some sort of luxury train that travels between Bangkok and Johor Bharu. It used to go to Singapore, but, well, the train tracks don't go through Singapore any more.
If you are still in Danok area, I recommend you to try roti canai & pakistani tea @Rincha in Itsalambamrung Road, Sadao. Very famous and you can try unique roti such as yam roti canai, charcoal roti and corn roti. The Pakistan tea is similar to teh tarik but more fragrant and nice.
Finally you're in Danok,awesome. Unfortunately it's during the pandemic cause if not the Night Life there is quite awesome,almost like Pattaya and Patong 😷😁😷
Ken, do you know why 1 hour difference between Thailand and Malaysia though both on same latitude? In 31st Dec 1980 2300hrs (if I recall correctly), Msia shifted their time ahead by 1 hour. Reason was that they wanted West Msia to be same time zone as East Msia (Sabah n Sarawak) for convenient as well as commercial and economic reason. As a result for commercial viability, Spore followed Msia. Hence Spore n Msis is an hour ahead of Thailand as well as Indonesia though on same latitude. 😊😊
Border adventure again.... So near yet so far.....as for me, I'm just at the other end of Peninsular Malaysia - looking at the border of Singapore... LOL .." 4:23 : I want to go to Malaysia ... ..Yes , Ken , we know you want to.... so does Pat and Giulia ( VeggiesOnTour ) ...LOL... Stay safe. happy exploring...
Ken the round one is eggs plant the other long wan is bamboo shoots..the one you were eating bitter goard. Which is cooling they use for cooking or they do add it to fresh apple orange juice..
@@KenAbroad Ban Da Nok survival depends on M'sian visiting.With borders closed,it's deserted.It's depressing for Danok occupants.Locals there seem overjoy to see u but it will b a long wait for reopening borders.
Professional hardworking vblogger /tourist. Some of the veg are the young ones - young round brinjal/egg plant/ aubergine. Besides cooking, the bitter gourd can be used to make a health drink with other fruit. Bitter=cooling. Vegans in West use jackfruit for stringy texture to replace meat.
If you're looking for another border town to visit in the South - try Satun. I've never been there, but I've come across two people who came from there or have family from there. It's on the coast, so there are probably beaches. There's no actual land border, but it's very close to Langkawi. There are a few islands offshore, too, and I'm pretty sure it's off the usual tourist path. I don't think many Malaysian tourists go there either.
I miss Danok...it is famous hotspot among Malaysian (Man paradise)...it’s been so long time I haven’t been there....my hometown in Malaysia very near this place....but I stayed and worked in KL now....
You should go to a lake side seafood restaurant. They serve the food in a boat to your hut. U can feed fish from hut. Very relaxing. I spend whole afternoon there at the lake side restaurant. Ask the tuk tuk to take you there. About 10 mins from Danok.
During normal times, Dan Nok can be reasonably exciting but now, aside from the border crossing, the place looks boring and dead. Even so, I have never lingered in Dan Nok. Last time I came, I passed through as quickly as possible. I didn't make any stops from the time we left Phattalung until we arrived at the border. Once through with the car, we only stopped again about 100km south, at some motorway rest stop on the Malaysian Leburaya to have dinner.
Hi Ken, just love to watch country borders. I am always curious about the Isthmus of Kra the narrow neck of southern Myanmar n Thailand connecting peninsula Malaysia to mainland China. I think you should stop by at Ranong situated at the narrowest part of the Kra isthmus at Kra Buri to be exact 58 km north of Ranong. News have been circulating that it is going to be carved to connect the Andaman Sea n the Gulf of Thailand thus making Malaysia an island! Interesting right?
Incidentally - my second favorite German RUclipsr - Andong - put a new video out a couple weeks back - about Pad Thai. VERY interesting video - apparently Pad Thai is NOT a traditional Thai dish, it was invented by a military dictator in the 1940s! Lots of interesting information about why Thai food has become known internationally (it's not accidental) and why Thai restaurants all over the world more or less have the same menu.
I think if I went there and spoke to them in Thai, they'd allow me to look around. However, obviously not beyond the gate, 30m or so beyond where you were standing. During normal times, cars and buses (as opposed to trucks) turn left, to a new immigration and customs complex. Only trucks go straight ahead. I've driven through this border crossing as far south as Kuala Lumpur back in 2017. Definitely miss those times. The border will probably open up again in 2022, but not before then. Even if Thailand goes ahead with the "sandbox" plan this year, it will be limited to entry and exit by air.
