What a unique video and I can't believe how affordable everything is! Thanks for sharing!
This was so fun to watch. I can't help but to girl fan Anna, she is so pretty. When she said her make up is melting , I was like girl!… you have make-up on? It looks so natural.
Hi, please come to visit my country Lao more delicious food
Didn't they give you the sauce to go with chicken rice? That's what binds all the elements of the dish together. 😭
Ps. Anna you're so pretty!!!!
Beautiful couple……,
You both have such positive facial reactions when eating, and that really appeals to Thai viewers. Please keep making this kind of content , I’m sure your channel will become very popular
I am Thai and never eat pork padthai in my life that guy is nut😅😅
สมัยโบราณกินผัดไทยแบบใส่หมูแดงก่อนแล้วก็เริ่มมาฮิตที่ร้านทิพย์ประตูผีใส่กุ้งแทน ส่วนตัวตั้งแต่เด็กก็ชอบกินแบบใส่หมูแดงมากกว่า
Pork Pad Thai is not typical. It’ll be very hard to find. Typically it’a shrimp.
Boat noodles get their name because they were traditionally sold from boats along the waterways.
Most Thai people love to eat shrimp pud thai not pork , this is why normally no pork in the pud thai shop.
Before eating any single dish food that you never have eaten , you should ask the way to eat first. Eating without properly way will keeps you away from truly testing its deliciousness. The dark sauce in the small cup is the key component that brings out the delicious flavor of the chicken rice.
I wish you happiness 😊💕🎉
😩I miss Chiang Mai and Khao soi so much 🥹🤎one of my top places to be. Also, as a Texan I definitely eat tons of spicy food🤭so Thailand was my absolute joy to eat through
Seems like that driver who said pad thai was just recommending you anything. I feel like he probably said Pad Thai because that seems like all westerners eat or know of when it comes to Thai food. Btw, I love boat noodles! Not sure if yall knew, but the broth is made with pork blood, so it grosses a lot of people out once they know how it's made. It's so good though!
เป็นคลิปน่าร่อยๆๆมากๆข้าวชอย..เทียวสนุกๆนะน่ารักทั้งคุ่เลย..❤😂❤😂❤
Love this video!
Anna reminds me of a young Janet Jackson !!
Original Pad thai in Thailand is only Shrimp or Prawn. Thai people never had either pork or chicken Padthai
25:15 I was a little surprised when I ate the original Som Tum (papaya salad). You'll find it easier to eat if you order Thai Som Tum (Thai papaya salad).
She's an incredibly beautiful woman of color.👸🏽
lady beautiful
🎉😮😊😅😂🎉
Heyy bestie ….Great video… next challenge ONLY VEGETARIAN/ PLANT BASE DISHES. 😂 i would to see that in different parts of Bangkok.
Love this!! what a fun way to travel around ^^
Hope you two have a wonderful trip here
❤❤❤❤❤
ไม่น่าเชื่อว่าเชียงใหม่ไม่มีผัดไทย
❤❤
Great video
What a fun videooooo!
น่ารักมากๆๆๆๆ
Why not use the camera translator…. It would be helpful #Anna
It’s not many’s people eat pad thai with pork 😂
Hi Tuakah and Anna: The Google Translation says the name of this eatery is "Shop Khao U Soi – Beautiful Mom" (Open 8:00 – 16 Hrs.) Mae Sai. Thank you for the rave reviews!
The sign is Kho soi Mae Sai. The Mae Sai is the border of the city in Chiang Rai.
Thais and Asians are sweet people.
Enjoyed this. Looks like you had so much fun. ❤
12:20 I loooove this exchange🥰
33:50 THIS…this realization fell on me after a massage shortly after moving to Vietnam. I'd become the foreigner but it was realizing how difficult that must be in the states that had me allllll jacked up and crying😅
seems like the local gave you the wrong recommendations. Khao Mun Gai must eat with spicy sauce and Pad Thai with Pork is difficult to find because most of restaurants have only shrimp or chicken option.
7-11 have a signature is ham cheese sandwich.
The guy recommended pad thai with pork is kinda weird. since we, thai people, usually have pad thai with tofu or shrimp.
คุณสวยจังเลย เหมือนนางแบบ หรือนางงาม
Very fun video, kids. It’s wonderful to observe two open-minded American budding foodies tasting the delights of khao soi and boat noodles for the first time! My wife and will be visiting Chiang Mai in December, and maybe we should follow a similar plan to explore new items. But we’re 60 and lack your youthful energy haha, and we also can’t eat seven dishes in one day anymore.
Som tam (papaya salad) should be eat with grilled chicken.
try combo padthai and Somtum together. 👍😁
I’m from Chiang mai but now live in New york. You guys make me thinking about going back to my hometown. Love the food 👍
คนไทยคนไหนก็ได้เห็นคลิปนี้พาเขาไปหน่อยดิ😂
For Khao Man Gai, the highlight is the dipping sauce. Without it, the only flavors you'll taste are the oily rice and the boiled chicken. As for Boat Noodles, what makes their rich flavor unique compared to other noodle dishes is the dark-colored broth. And you should know that the broth is made from blood, but that's something everyone who tastes it seems to like. But you have to try it to know for sure. The reason it's called "boat noodles" is because, in ancient times, this type of noodle was sold from rowing boats. In ancient times, since the old kingdoms, water travel was the primary mode of transportation. All markets were floating markets. The first land-based market was Nang Leong Market in Bangkok, which has only been around for less than 150 years. Boat noodles are served in small bowls.😂
I love your content. Thanks for being open minded in trying the food. Just know Thai spicy is not the same as western spicy. As for the khao mun gai, different restaurants have different dressing to put on top of the chicken. My favorite is isaan Thai food which is more umami / pungent.
Thai food is amazing ❤❤ love the video
Khao Soi especially the one with the whole curry style soup is very distinct of Northern Thailand. Back here in the states, the majority of Thai restaurants are "Southern" focus and thus when people visit Thailand, they are surprise to see that there are more variety than they had anticipated or different from what they are used to back home. Yes, spice in terms of spicy is normal for many Thai people. I am from the bay area and was in Thailand a few weeks ago for "calling in sick from work" to just relax and chill.
