@@ChovyTravel11-22 Dec 2024 Red Cross Fair at Lumpini Park. Different Government units will sell some products and the profits go for charity. Of course, a lot of food booths there.
I accept in generosity, ready to try food that you have never seen and never tasted before. I want other foreigners have mindset like you. Will be able to judge without prejudice. Whether you like it or not is not an important issue. As far as watching the two of you in many clips, I believe that most Thai people will like both of you.
You can called " State Fair" something like that. This place is the last spot which the Chao Prara river 's flow to the sea then we called" PakNam" Be careful of eating insect, someone can had seriosly allergic 😮 Some crispy sweet named " Krayasart" but the girl told you " Thammasat" (Universtity) OMG😮😮 If you love state fair you can go SuanLum Park in the Thai Red Cross Fair,11-21 December,time to convenience is after 5 p.m. Next week is Loy Kratong Festival, You'd better go to Iconsiam after 6 p.m. Friday 15November ,There's a full moon night and very very large fireworks,let's enjoy,don't miss.❤❤🎉🎉😊😊
- Anthony and Caroline can eat Durian so easily, I can't even compete you guys. - I don't do scorpions too, it's tourist things, but the cricket and silk worm or bamboo worm are for me and my Thai friends.
Another GREAT vlog guys!!! Personal space? Those markets are notorious for an inch and hour. I haven't been to one in a long long time, especially one in open air like that. Usually, I just go peruse through tiny ones in the mall. Oh yeah!!! The insects and arachnids are a delicacy of a niche group of the population in the north and northeast. They are not common food for the general population. Also, the ball crushed into a bowl and other garnishing added was actually "Lab". Thai Isaan salad made dry and formed into a ball for easy keeping, until it is used. Lab has many fermented elements in them from rice to pork, fish, shrimp, etc..
Thank you so very much! 🥰🫰❤️🙏 It was definitely a great experience for sure! Now we know what to expect 😅 Interesting! 🤔 I don’t think I can hang with eating insects. Especially, ones that are so big! 😬 No wonder we liked it 😅 We do enjoy Lab!
@@ChovyTravel well the WEF and powers that be thinks the plebs are not good enough to have our regular food and wanna transition the masses, your children's children, to eating insects. "You will own nothing and be happy", "You will EAT ZEE BUGS" (In faux German bureaucrat accent) they claim. Soon enough, eating pork, chicken, beef like we currently do will be luxuries, reserved ONLY for the rich, moneyed people. I pray Thailand remains Thailand (and independent and sovereign from foreign powers and influences), and doesn't go that route, and fall prey to western meddling. Good thing, as far as I know, Thailand is self sufficient in food production.
The crushed ball in the bowl was not 'Laab' or 'Larb Tod' as you've explained. Laab Tod is always eat individually with sticky rice or plain rice, never usually mix to other ingredients. . The grown up Thai people 90% knows it is 'Yum Naem Klook' or 'Yum Naem Khao Tod', I'm not sure it is Northen or NorthEastern or even maybe Central local food. The fried seasoned rice was made into a ball. This plate consists of crushed rice ball, Naem (fermented pork - the main sour-salty tastes), peanuts, sliced pork skin, sliced ginger, chopped green onions and shallots, dried chillies mixed together, serving with 'Bai Cha Plu' (the heartshaped betel leaves) or lettuces. . Welcome to Thailand, foodie paradise destination.
15:08 this one called "Moo Yor" in Thai or pressed Vietnamese sausage in English can be made out of various kind of meat but in this case are made of pork (from their name consist of word "Moo" 😅) which is Moo Yor from Ubon Ratchathani province is one of quite well known Moo Yor for us.. BTW talking about bugs eating, lets say 50:50 of Thais eat bugs but mostly of those 50:50 will eat giant water bug, grasshopper, pupa or silkworm but not for something like scorpion or centipede for sure😉
Love to hear about ur personal life too!! U should do a vlog on what u do before getting into vlogging, your work and background how did u guys meet etc! Go outside bangkok too like Suphanburi has lots if authentic and cheap food. There's big market in the cbd there. Don't give up love watching your stuff 🥰😊🎉❤
At 3.55 I miss that “Kanom Tang Tak”, the one that you thought it was a giant crape. It has coconut and black sesame (mixed with some white sugar)in the middle and the bread outside is fluffy and chewy. It is rare to find. 😁
We too were very fortunate in the beginning but as time went on, all of a sudden we got a lot of bites at once. Decided not to take the chance going forward after someone we know got Deng Fever
I’m also Korean and live in Bangkok. I never use insect repellant and I don’t believe I’ve ever gotten a mosquito bite in Bangkok. Other parts of the country of course is different but Bangkok no
Was this a one time event, or wherever this is located its always there? Please leave link to location!! otherwise a way to keep a track of these events please?
I will give up since i see the queue on the bts 😂 , I saw a lot comment recommended you guys go to the golden mount temple (wat sa ket) tomorrow is a first day of food festival. So please go enjoy and I will waiting for your new video. Btw thanks for the video and when I having my meal then I watch your video , it make me more appetite 🤣
18.00 It's called Yum Naem. That's right, it's northern food. Fermented pork is marinated until sour. When mixed with Thai herbs, the taste is perfect.
In the past, this kind of event was called a "temple fair". There were many food stalls and amusement park rides. In the old style, there would be a show similar to a circus. There were strange shows similar to those in the US. You might know them as Siamese twins or Chang Bunker and Eng Bunker. In Thailand, there is a unique show in this kind of event called "Mia Ngu". It is a woman who is the wife of a snake or a person who has the upper half of a person but the lower half of a snake. Of course, it is just a show. And there is a car climbing a tank. Which is hard to see nowadays. Usually organized at the temple as a merit-making event.
Fried insects are not a normal food for Thai people. Some people eat insects as a snack. It is mostly found in the North and Northeast. Because in the past, the Northeast of Thailand was still dry. There were not as many sources of protein as there are today. It is estimated that the frying of insects started in the 1980s when there was an outbreak of grasshoppers in Thailand. Therefore, various methods of getting rid of them began. Frying them to eat was one of the most successful methods. After that, other types of insects were also fried. And it was during this time that Thailand had a policy to create tourism. When tourists began to come in large numbers and saw this type of food, it became more talked about among tourists. As a result, more and more people started making it a profession. This is not a food that the average Thai eats. Part of it is for tourism. Only a few Thais like to eat it. And only fried grasshoppers and bamboo worms, which are small and slender, which we call “express trains,” are the most popular.
The peanut dessert you eat at Sweet fish shop. Thai people call it Krayasat. It is an auspicious dessert. This dessert is made from peanuts, sesame, sugar, roasted rice. It is popularly made and eaten at auspicious events. It is an ancient dessert. What makes it special is that it is a dessert for Thai traditional merit-making. It can be said that it is a dessert with its own traditions and dates. In September, according to the normal calendar, villagers will make this dessert to make merit for their deceased relatives, which has become the Sat Thai tradition. Or called Sat Month Ten. Krayasat is a symbol of abundant agricultural products. It is also a merit-making ceremony for the rice in the fields, which is the first harvest.😊
Each of the ancient sweets you try is probably something that people ate regularly more than 100 years ago. Fun fact: After October, there are many festivals throughout the country and in every province, big and small, according to each temple. These events originate from Buddhist ceremonies. During the end of Buddhist Lent, there is the Kathin ceremony. Buddhists will offer robes to monks and other items, including donations in the past. Nowadays, temples earn money for the temple as a business by organizing these events, allowing vendors to rent space to sell their products, or there may be stage plays, concerts, and various rides in amusement parks, depending on the reputation of the temple. If you have ever seen the royal procession, it is the same Kathin ceremony, but it is an event in the palace style.
this kinda central thai fest is becoming to rare these days. this thing is legit. i wish you guys would do some collab or even hire a local cameraman just for a local interpretation and perspective of things.
Wow! That festival used to be right in front of my old house! I used to walk with my parents every evening 🤣🤣🤣 and when we went back we just exhausted. And we go again the next day.🤣🤣🤣 I literally grew up with it (I live there almost 25 years and now I move to about 15 kilometres away🤣🤣🤣). This event causes a really bad traffic jam every year! If you really walk from the beginning till the end your feet would swollen! 😆😆
As a Thai. I don't eat fried bugs on a regular. It's something I only do when I seriously craved it and I don't like all the bugs. I only like grasshoppers, crickets and silk worms, anything else made me yuck. Now that I mentioned it, haven't been eating them for years. I moved to the countryside a decade ago and no one here sell them.
Come to think of it… it is similar to Miang Kham 😅 Yes! It was super crowded! Didn’t even know there was another fair going on 😅. Absolutely our pleasure! Thank you for joining us! 🥰❤️🫰🙏
Oo both of you are Korean American... Then you can contact Paul Lee... for any advice. I believe he is willing to help . Anyway both of you are adapting so well . Good to see. Maybe you don't need any advice 😊
@ChovyTravel After finishing Bangkok..I suggest you travel to other cities ... Many cities have different foods and have their own charms. Chiangmai.. has many good restaurants and cafe.... Even better than Bangkok ...and Yi peng festival...nice too ...
Only some Thai locals eat fried insects, but not all of Thais eat them. I don’t. I am intimidated by the idea of having those things inside my stomach. But well…seems like it’s a good source of protein….
I'm worry about the way you poke the food stick in your mouth. There are a lot of people around that might hit you by chance and that will cause a nasty injure. If you like to have the food on stick, please take it by side, bite it and slide the stick from one side to the other. Take care
Thank you so very much for your concern! Didn’t really think about that but now that you mention it. Will definitely be more careful/cautious about that from now on! Really appreciate that! 🥰❤️🫰🙏 Thank you!
I like your videos but your ratings scale cracks me up! 8.2? 9.4? What are the points for? Its so arbitrary! But I do enjoy the content. I was just there in Thailand a few days ago.. super hot but the food as you say is really good and super cheap. Except the bugs.. didn't try the bugs!
ur chanel s dramatically growth. if i not missed, ..first i saw ur vlog u just made a visit from us , ..hopping around SEA. very pleasure u choose our country!! keep doing.
17:41 I believe is some sort of sour pork dish called Naam แหน มหมู or fermented pork sausage They also sell it in the Laos and Vietnamese stores in USA. The thing with eating naam is you're gonna be burping up sourness for the next few hours as your stomach is trying to digest it. I haven't had naam in a long time though, like since I was a kid. The article I saw on it says "In addition, naem is a raw food and may contain parasites and bacteria. It should be cooked before consuming. If left at room temperature, it will keep for about 1 week, but if left in the refrigerator, it will keep for about 1 month". Ya, I had heard before naam is rather raw (and it even LOOKS raw to me too), so be careful if you choose to eat it, it's kinda a gamble like when you decide to eat raw oysters or sushi with raw fish and such. That's probably why I hadn't had it since I was a kid - I remember it being too rather raw for my taste.
Thai Thai don’t eat insect but people from Iran ( northeast) they eat as a snack when they drink just think is a home make peanut but scorpion and the one with lot of lags are just for tourists. Sour salad call “yum nam”. I think Nam from Vietnam Thai make in to our own test Vietnam are more on a sweet side with little sour with a lot of pork skin but Thai like make it no sweet more sour and less pork skin also another one call ”yum kow nam” I like this one more. They make rice to a rice ball with nam fried it and make just like the one you ate but instead of nam sausage they use a nam rice ball. “Nam”been going around the region before country has a border every county has their own signature. But I think original is Vietnam course of the name.

17:30 Yum Hnaem with rice deep fried (ยำแหนมข้าวทอด) เป็นได้ทั้งอาหารว่าง อาหารหลัก ทานคู่กับเบียร์ (เช่นเดียวกับปลาหวานเผ็ด) ปกติยำแหนมทานคู่กับผัก ใบชะพลูห่อ คล้ายเมี่ยงคำ คล้าย Samgyobsal 😂 คนแน่นจริงๆ คุณสามารถเดินออกไปริมฝั่งท่าเรือเพื่อออกไปสูดหายใจได้ และมองชมวิวสะพาน และสามารถนั่ฃเรือข้ามฟากไปงานวัดอีกฝั่งได้ ขอบคุณที่พาเที่ยวนะคะ 😂
Come to think of it… it is similar to Miang Kham 😅
Yes! It was super crowded! Didn’t even know there was another fair going on 😅. Absolutely our pleasure! Thank you for joining us! 🥰❤️🫰🙏

🥰❤️🫰🙏
18.10 เรียกยำแหนมข้าวทอด ( yumnamcowtod )
Thank you for that! 🥰
🙋🤗☺️
🥰🫰❤️🙏
11:25 i think Caroline meant "cicada."
Yes! You’re right! 😅
โปรดระวังกระเป๋าเงินของคุณในพื้นที่มีคนมากๆ 🙏🏻
Will do! Thank you so much for your concern! 🥰❤️🫰🙏
I think it’s because that seller is not used to asian-american. In his mind, he may think American are either white or black people.
Ahh! Never thought about that. Interesting! 🤔
โอ้โห !! คนเยอะมากๆ 😮😮😅😅
Right!? 😅
แนะนำงานวัดภูเขาทอง (8-17 พย.)
Thank you for the info! 🥰🫰❤️🙏
Are they the one that starts at 5pm Everyday!?
@@ChovyTravel yes. 8-17 Nov 2024
Thank you for confirmation! We will definitely try 🤞
Oo both of you are Korean American... Then you can contact Paul Lee... for any advice. I believe he is willing to help . Anyway both of you are adapting so well . Good to see. Maybe you don't need any advice 😊
We enjoy learning and experiencing everything from all of the kind local Thais 😃
@ChovyTravel After finishing Bangkok..I suggest you travel to other cities ... Many cities have different foods and have their own charms. Chiangmai.. has many good restaurants and cafe.... Even better than Bangkok ...and Yi peng festival...nice too ...
Yes, we have Chiang Mai on our list for sure 👍 When is Yi Peng festival?
@ChovyTravel Nov 15 - 16 ..2024. Lantern 🏮 festival
Ahh, got it! Thank you so much! 🥰❤️🫰🙏
Only some Thai locals eat fried insects, but not all of Thais eat them. I don’t. I am intimidated by the idea of having those things inside my stomach. But well…seems like it’s a good source of protein….
I would have to agree with you 100% 😅. Still makes me nervous too 😁
งานเทศกาลพอหมดฤดูฝนเข้าสู่ฤดูหนาว หรือ คนไทยจะเรียกว่างานบุญออกพรรษาเพราะหลายพื้นที่ของงานจะจัดขึ้นในวัดหรือบริเวณรอบวัด และมีจัดงานเทศกาลต่างแบบนี้ทั่วทุกจังหวัด โดยเฉพาะวัดประจำจังหวัด วัดที่เป็นศูนย์รวมของคนในชุมชน เฉพาะในกรุงเทพฯก็มีเป็นสิบๆแห่ง อย่างที่มีคนแนะนำในคอมเม้นท์ เช่น งานวัดภูเขาทอง ซึ่งจัดงานประเพณีนี้มาตั้งแต่สมัยรัชกาลที่5 และจัดคู่กับงานวันลอยกระทง ซึ่งแต่ละงานวัดจะมีการละเล่นคล้ายกัน อาหารจะมาจากหลากหลายภูมิภาคทั่วไทย ลองเที่ยวงานในแต่ละชุมนุม แต่ละจังหวัด มีความสนุกสนานต่างๆมากมาย ใกล้ๆกรุงเทพฯ งานวัดพระปฐมเจดีย์ จังหวัดนครปฐม งานใหญ่มีพื้นที่ออกร้านค้าเป็นพันร้าน อาหารขึ้นชื่อของจังหวัดนครปฐมก็มีมากมายหลากหลาย ของคาว ของหวาน ของกินเล่น..ลองแวะไปเที่ยวดู ใกล้ๆกรุงเทพฯ.
Wow! Thank you so very much for sharing! 🥰🫰❤️🙏
Our goal is to make it to at least one of these events 🤞 Appreciate the info!
ถ้าผมเห็นว่าต่อคิวตั้งแต่บนสถานีรถไฟฟ้า ผมจะกลับทันที เพราะแปลว่าคนเยอะถึงเยอะเกินไป ฮาฮา
😂 We were in total shock when we arrived. So many people and that was just the beginning 😅
It got bigger every year
Really!? First time hearing about it and luckily made it on the last day 😃
I'm worry about the way you poke the food stick in your mouth. There are a lot of people around that might hit you by chance and that will cause a nasty injure. If you like to have the food on stick, please take it by side, bite it and slide the stick from one side to the other.
Take care
Thank you so very much for your concern! Didn’t really think about that but now that you mention it. Will definitely be more careful/cautious about that from now on! Really appreciate that! 🥰❤️🫰🙏 Thank you!
ผมในฐานะคนสูงวัยงานแบบนี้ผมคงไม่ไหวครับ
No worries! Keep joining us on our adventures 😉
ปกติก็คนเยอะอยู่แล้ว คุณไปวันสุดท้ายยิ่งคนเยอะ😅
Yes! We definitely felt that on the last day. It was absolutely crazy 😜
You look like Thai that's why they thought you know Thai very well 😂
😂 I think you’re right! Have we been living here too long!? 😅
@@ChovyTravel glad you are enjoy living here in Thailand.
Tyty! 🥰
I like your videos but your ratings scale cracks me up! 8.2? 9.4? What are the points for? Its so arbitrary! But I do enjoy the content. I was just there in Thailand a few days ago.. super hot but the food as you say is really good and super cheap. Except the bugs.. didn't try the bugs!
Thank you so very much! 🥰🫰❤️🙏
😂 It’s not quite 8, nor is it 8.5 or 9. Right in between 8-8.5 😁
Can’t do bugs 🤦
I just started watching your video and I have to stop midway only because the woman’s high pitch voice was really irritating.
That’s unfortunate 😕
ur chanel s dramatically growth.
if i not missed, ..first i saw ur vlog u just made a visit from us , ..hopping around SEA.
very pleasure u choose our country!!
keep doing.
Thank you so very much! 🥰🫰❤️🙏
Appreciate it!
17:41 I believe is some sort of sour pork dish called Naam แหน มหมู or fermented pork sausage They also sell it in the Laos and Vietnamese stores in USA. The thing with eating naam is you're gonna be burping up sourness for the next few hours as your stomach is trying to digest it. I haven't had naam in a long time though, like since I was a kid. The article I saw on it says "In addition, naem is a raw food and may contain parasites and bacteria. It should be cooked before consuming. If left at room temperature, it will keep for about 1 week, but if left in the refrigerator, it will keep for about 1 month". Ya, I had heard before naam is rather raw (and it even LOOKS raw to me too), so be careful if you choose to eat it, it's kinda a gamble like when you decide to eat raw oysters or sushi with raw fish and such. That's probably why I hadn't had it since I was a kid - I remember it being too rather raw for my taste.
We did eat it and we were fine 😅
Maybe our stomachs have adapted to a lot of Thai cuisine 😁. No risk, No reward 😃.
Thai Thai don’t eat insect but people from Iran ( northeast) they eat as a snack when they drink just think is a home make peanut but scorpion and the one with lot of lags are just for tourists. Sour salad call “yum nam”. I think Nam from Vietnam Thai make in to our own test Vietnam are more on a sweet side with little sour with a lot of pork skin but Thai like make it no sweet more sour and less pork skin also another one call ”yum kow nam” I like this one more. They make rice to a rice ball with nam fried it and make just like the one you ate but instead of nam sausage they use a nam rice ball. “Nam”been going around the region before country has a border every county has their own signature. But I think original is Vietnam course of the name.
Interesting! Didn’t know Vietnam has its own version. That’s so cool! Might have to try it next time we go to Vietnam 😃
Beautiful day ❤🎉😊
Very! 😉
❤❤❤
