This is a Thailand vlog about living in Bangkok, and just a typical half of a day. In the morning my wife and I will often go to a local neighborhood market to shop for groceries. Even though on the day I made the vlog video my mother in-law and wife made food for some of our friends as well, this is not at all untypical of what my mother in-law cooks on a daily basis for us to eat at home.
So we first went to the market, bought some vegetables, some herbs, and plenty of chilies. Then we continued on to buy some fresh fish and then went to the indoor market area to buy curry paste and also to buy coconut milk. Curry paste is very convenient to buy in Bangkok, and there are stalls are every market that have a variety of pre-pounded curry paste that you can buy to cook at home depending on what you want to cook and eat. It does taste good to make your own, but it’s very convenient to buy it from the market. We then also bought some freshly squeezed coconut milk, which is also easy and convenient to buy at any Thai market.
After going home, I did some work for a couple hours, I’m working on producing a video about the top things to do in Saigon, Vietnam (coming soon), and I also had some blogging and e-mailing to do. I didn’t help with too much of the cooking, but I was called by my wife to do some taste testing!
At about 11 am, the time finally came for lunch. I first stir fried up a plate of sunflower sprouts, which I really enjoy doing, and then I sat down for a full southern Thai food lunch. The first dish I had was gaeng tai pla (แกงไตปลา), a fish innards curry that’s one of the most popular southern Thai foods. Then I ate some of the gaeng som malakaw (แกงส้มมะละกอ), as southern Thai sour soup of fish and green papaya. It’s one of my favorite foods living in Thailand, and though it’s from the south of Thailand, I eat it nearly everyday in Bangkok. Lastly I ate some of the khanom jeen nam ya (ขนมจีนน้ำยา), a thin coconut milk and fish curry from southern Thailand as well. Typically it’s served with khanom jeen rice noodles, but I really like it with rice.

One of the reasons I love living in Bangkok and in Thailand are the morning markets, and the delicious food you can make from all the ingredients available.
Hope you enjoyed this vlog, and I’d love to hear what you think about it in the comments section below. I would like to do more and more vlogs about daily living in Bangkok or traveling, so keep checking back for more video updates!

I love how he praised his wife and mother in law's cooking so nice
He really really knows how to love different cultures.
He had to. He doesn't want to get in trouble.
@@bruzaak475 lmao
Mark I enjoy your videos. Ying seems so nice and she has a beautiful smile. God bless to you and your family.
Mark has to be the most likeable guy on Earth. I watch all his videos, he's almost like my internet best friend. :)
You think like me55
He is very kind and humble. I love to his channel.
Hey mark don’t be selfish with the camera share with your hosts!!
Yeah me to , in my head
He is amazing
The nicest guy on the planet. Loves food and culture and what both of those mean on a more spiritual level with immense passion.
I only discovered Mark's videos about a week or two ago but absolutely hooked.
A man after my own heart, really good food, humble and kind and welcoming to the entire educational experience. Huge huge respect for him.
One of the reasons I come to UA-cam is Mark. The world is so beautiful, several cultures, friendly people. Very positive feeling. Mark you are a world citizen. Keep showing us the positive side of our mother Earth. Enjoy life to the fullest. Stay safe
His Thai is also perfect, surely he is talented in communication. He found his passion. Congratulation Mark. I just found this video and it is a great one.
Because he is a Thai.
+Di5Dude he is american, ying is thai
jim parsit He was born in USA and grew up in Africa and then he went back to USA and graduated from Arizona State University but he married Ying (his Thai wife)
Di5Dude lol. 🤦
Di5Dude syria
Chew, smile, open the eyes, and lean to the right. That is the best part of the video.....
You are definitely living the life Mark. Your acumen is very notable when it comes to informing the viewer of all the culinary delights of your travels, and I must say that your English is so so perfect. Your enunciation of every single vowel and syllable that should be uttered is quite impressive. I know some people don't care, but believe me, there are those of us out there who do take notice. Your channel and your videos are very informative and well executed; an excellent point of reference to anyone who might be wanting to learn more about exotic foods. I'm glad to be a current watcher, and I look forward to watching the future videos you put out.
+Lunatic4Bizcas well just to say that his english is perfect because he is from america :)
I know, I perceived that; but his English is truly perfect, well pronounced and enunciated. To be so formidably spoken yet so care free is very rare for an American. Believe me, most Americans don't speak English as well as Mark does despite the fact that English is their first language.
+Pikachu Jaegar but america is a continent. so u mean brazilians, colombians etc. speak perfect english?
Fakie well I guess America is two continents, but I meant America as in USA, in Britain that's just what we say :)
I do agree with you.I became a loyal viewer because of his good English pronunciation and of course his trademark facial expressions haha
Hi Mark . I love all your videos. You are definitely a lucky man to have a mother in law and a wife who cook you delicious meals. Salute.
Hello Mark! Just wanted to tell you that I am a young guy looking for something passionate in life, and you've definitely opened up my mind about traveling and exploring the world and its flavors. I wanted to thank you and say that I love all of your videos, they are more than entertaining!
I'm jealous of this guy, he's always eating good food.
Eileen Ramirez me 2😔
Yeah, good food Thai food
😀
Exactly, and not gaining weight, hmm 😏
It`s not just that eats good food, i bet all food taste better in his stomach then in the rest of us :)
Keep up the VLOGs Mark! Very interesting to see what daily life in Bangkok is like even if its just to the market and lunch!
Lukas Martin Thank you Lukas
You're so
humble, man! Your family is very lucky to have you
I'm so jealous of your ability to speak fluent Thai! And so blessed to have such a good wife and mother in law who also cooks amazingly! :)
So therapeutic watching Mark's videos
you sure did pick the right country and culture to love and eat in, hats off to you man
You are just awesome Mark I live on the other side of the globe but i can tell by watching that you have a heart of gold
That meal w all that fresh turmeric, dried turmeric, fresh garlic, chilis, papaya, fresh herbs and mixed white and red rice is a HUGE anti-cancer feast. If we all ate like this every day cancer rates would crash.
Hi, Mark Wiens. My name is Harry Wong. I'm from Indonesia but immigrated to USA long time ago. I live in New York City. I love watching your blog. I wish that I could also live in Bangkok. I'm going to Taiwan in a couple months and planning to do all the thing that you did in Taiwan. Love your Expression when you eat delicious food, it makes me hungry. Thank you for your blog, keep it coming.

Kantesh Krishnam

I love your food enjoyment facial expressions, it says it all & makes for the ultimate food tasting experience, thank you Mark Weins!
You continue to push the envelope with your content. It's a pleasure to watch your channel experiencing your continual evolution. Ready for our next adventures!!
I get so excited every time your mother in law's home cook meal shows up! This is my favorite video!
I love how down to earth you are! I usually eat the same food for lunch and dinner, too.
I miss morning market in Asia.Your mother in-law is a great cook.
This vlog was top notch Mark. I always watch your eating at restaurant videos you do but it's great to also see the day to day stuff like shopping at markets and riding around on mopeds. My inner nerd loved the video production portion. Great job and now I'm even more excited for July when my wife and I will be in Bangkok!
***** Thank you Nathan!
I'm Thai but I love watching your video a lot. I think you know better about Thai food than many Thai people. I always recommend your video to my foreign friends. If they want to travel to Thailand and can eat like you they will save a lot of money.
You're the best! You make me want to learn more about food and budgeting for travel. Thanks for everything you share.
Thanks for bringing the streets & foods of Asia to my screen. I am a chef and your videos are so inspriational and educational. Well done Mark!
This channel is so great!
I have started to eat Thai food because of you Mark, you are the inspiration source for it so I thank you :)
And this more VLOG -idea is so far the best upgrade on the channel.
Mark Wiens - You are just wonderful & simply wow..believe me this is my first ever comment on social networking to someone I never met or known or aware of. Just randomly came across one of your food tour video when watching some other food specific videos in recent times, since then can't stop watching all the videos that you have posted when time permits. Keep up the wonderful work with your food tours. By listening to your voice/watching your videos will definitely feel joyous and sometimes even forget any sort of lowness or sadness. Beautiful Heart. BTW say hi to MIKA........
Mark, loving this idea of vlogs. I'm sure in no time you'll be my favourite vlogger, overtaking a few that I already follow.
Sunshine Cool, thank you for your support, more vlog to come!
Mark Wiens your smile is amazing ^_^
This comment has aged soo well.
I'm quarantine enjoying all of your videos. It makes me happy with your personality and positivity. I wish there're more ppl like you.
one of the best episodes of Mark Wiens, awesome!
Whenever I travel to Bangkok, I keep my eyes open for Mark. Unfortunately, I've never spotted him. Someday I will, someday I will.
I miss Thailand so much watching your videos. I was born there but moved to the US since I was 12. You make everything look so exciting in Thailand, and you are probably more Thai than I am right now. I've never been to morning market before. lol That nam ya curry looks so good
Sir I am a fan of you from India....sometimes I feel UA-cam is only for you.....I spend my leisure time with your videos....A huge "Namaste" Sir ji
Love these videos, I'm going to Koh Samui in 3 days and can't wait to try the food! P.S. Love your facial expressions when you eat 😂
My family and I watch your videos and you make us HUNGRY!!!
Hi Mark, I have been enjoying your utube food adventures and what obviously appears as wonderfully delicious dishes at home in Bankock. When I see the variety of foods you are exposed to I see how limited my diet has been my entire life. The traditional american diet is not the healthiet.. I live south of NY City in central New Jersey, USA. Much of the food you ate in N.Y. is part of my diet. NY style pizza, sausage, onions and peppers on italian rolls, stuffed cabbage, hamburgers and french fries is common place. I have a friend who is from Okinawa, Japan and she has occasionally created some fine japaneese cuisine with simple healthy vegatbles sauces which is a delight to experience. Look forward to your continuing food showcases. Best always to you, your wife/camara tech support and mother in law. Live the good life in Bangkok.
Love to see you red in the face and sweating over the plates of delicious home cooked food. Nice to see your office work too, a glimpse of the technologies behind the camera.
I love your facial expressions. I look forward to seeing them every time you eat something. Keep it up!
Mark, love your blog. It bring back memory when I'm in Bangkok with my mother-in-law and family. I do have to differ with you on one thing. I think my mother-in-law is the best cook in Thailand...smile
This is great Mark!! I can't wait for your vlogs. I love Thailand and when I travelling I like to eat the local food :)))
Sonia P Thank you Sonia, glad you love Thailand too.
This reminds me of visiting family in salinas Puerto Rico. Best memories. Best food everything at our reach in the back yard.
Hey Mark. Been catching up with a load of your vids. Really like these vlog styles ones, longer and more in depth and that. Pretty awesome keep at it my man!

I loved many videos in UA-cam about food. Mark Wiens give me more interesting about food and also the tradition, culture, and places that origin that food specially in south east Asian countries. SIr Weins keep on the good work! I loved to watch your interesting videos.
Thanks for sharing your home and family with us it's nice to see how you all live in Thailand and the food looks amazing great video
Although I'd never eat the things you eat here (because I'm a vegan) I really enjoy your videos. All of them. The food looks incredibly yummy. And I'm constantly inspired to try new asian/thai inspired dishes, especially curries.
Looking at ur face, I can tell u have a beautiful heart... :)
His heart must be full of different flavours. :)
you can see it in his "countenance" and his eyes, he has happy crinkles around his eyes from smiling, always a good sign. :)
you are absolutely correct it's an obsession watching him very down to earth
I think the same thing!!
His apisces
Mark u r great with ever smily face. I shard all your videos with my students. I watched your all videos. Thanks MArk
Spider in the glass? Mark, I admire your sense of humor with that...I would've thrown the contents away and poured more of the shake! Naw, not that extreme, but I still like your patience and ability to roll with things.
home cooking is the most delicious food in the world...this video makes me miss my mother's cooking!
You have mesmerizing eyes! Love your passion for food!
When you told you spend most of the day editing videos, i couldn't believe it. I used to think you spend most of them time traveling.😛 But when i edited a whole video all by myself, It literally took 2 days for a 15 min of video. Now i feel all your hard work you put into it and create such great content Mark. 🙏🙏
Mark can you make a video about learning Thai language? I think it would be very helpful for people who would like to learn other foreign language.
Indeed!
Yes
Good question
This is about food not teaching go in Internet and learn on ur own.
Carolina Leger No need to be rude. Mark doesn’t only vlog about food. He vlogs about culture, accommodations, travel and more. Shows how much you know.
Your one Lucky guy. Great to see some one young married normal traveling, experimenting , cultures , foods ,drinks.
Not getting wasted or cussing throughout the video,, just loving the travel , Malaysia Thailand ,Vietnam ... Etc
God bless have a great time.
Awesome vlog. I think you tapped into a niche that no one else is covering, especially in Asia - high quality video of day to day food preparation and eating. Please do more of these everyday market shopping/cooking videos! By the way, how much did the groceries for this meal cost? Thank you!
belovedpeartree And can someone tell me what camera Mark is using? It's so clear!
belovedpeartree I agree! Definitely a new niche! Keep it up Mark! Love it :)
belovedpeartree Hey, thank you. I'm used a Canon 70D. For the groceries, can't remember exactly how much everything cost, but we made a lot of food, for about 10 people, and I think we spent maybe about $25.
Mark seems to like everything he eats. i have yet to see him not like any food from any country. He seems genuine too.
I need a mother in law like that :)
always drooling for your food and video mark! Makes me hungry all the time
You spoke Thai language was great !!
I love how humble your videos are.
More Vlog yeah!
คุณมาร์คพูดไทยชัดกว่าเดิมเยอะเลย
bigassser ขอบคุณมากครับ
Loved this home video as I too like going to the marketplace in the morning. Here in Trinidad we have these markets on the weekends and I love to go if only to browse. Just walking pass the fresh vegetables is so refreshing😊
I like your self-discipline. I would never be able to eat that oatmeal. The smoothie looks good tho!
You lucky dog, you are killing us in the USA, seriously, I am salivating Mark, just salivating at all these home made delicacies .
Love This Vlog type of video it was amazing music was perfect lol keep up good work mark
Arch Angelz Cool, thanks Arch
+Mark Wiens hey I love it to and poly food omg I'm Maori by the way hahah
Even watching this video. Mark remains as humble as they come. He has a vehicle to drive around, but will still travel the same way everyone else does.
Mark, The food looks amazing. Really enjoy the visits to the markets. Yes, Yes, Yes! More vlogs. TFS :)
Tess Cooks 4u Thanks for the feedback Tess

Hello Mark,
I am a professional music producer. If you need any help with adding music to your videos please let me know. I am more then willing to help you, I watch your videos almost everyday. Keep up the great work!!
Sincerely,
Michelle Skyler
hope he reads this
I just started my channel ,can i maybe ask you some things too??? 🙊
หน้าตาเหมือนคนอีสานไม่เหมือนฝรั่งเลยแม้แต่นิด
I really admire your passion for food, and really enjoy watching your expressions as you taste. You also explain the flavours so well. I've put on 1kg since starting to watch your videos! Keep up the good work Mark, you get my thumbs up from the UK.
I'm so glad I came across your channel
Marigona Berisha
Yeah
It's nice to see your home cooks make s delicious meal for you! Being grateful to them both is very meaningful.
I would like your wife to speak in the videos instead of being in background.
She may be shy or doesn't want to. It is ok either way. She supports and travels with him. That alone with Micha and family has got to be a full time job.
In bussiness some people are better kept in the background,we are different.
And she denied. Period
Dear Mark , great video love your expression when you taste the food. I am myself a very frequent visitor to thailand and know that thai food is far more then what the average tourist think it is. keep up the good job promoting thailand for it's real,values. kap khun mah kap bro.....
looks so good i want to swim across the ocean just to come over for lunch lol
shay Love That's a great idea!
lol
YES!!! This is an awesome project of yours, more videos of the daily life in Bangkok and the various foods during different festivals as well as seasons. I have to say though, that going by the look on your face over breakfast, I might have skipped that meal and just had tea. Yep, that smile of yours definitely lets me know if I want to try something or not.
Is it me or does all you're reaction looks the same with every single food from all your videos?
I'm Tana frm Kansas lol I remembered your father was born here I was not but live here now love your travels you taken me places I'll never known otherwise thank you.....
Next time can you take a second to show your dog! Sooo cute!
Sarah Ko Ha, ok I will Sarah. His name is Fufu, he's originally the neighbors dog, but he comes to hang out all the time.
He was in an earlier video and is even cuter than you think!!!!
Mark, you are on my top list of food bloggers! Thank you.😍
Mark has the bigges eyes haha :)
The man loves and appreciates beautiful flavourful southern Thai food. Go Mark. Best food blogger ever. Yum😋
Wow, Mark...you have an awesome Thai wife!
Looks like she knows her way around food markets and what to get...I'm sure the places to eat, too.
I would guess she knows her way around the kitchen, as well :)
thank you for sharing piece s of your life! due to my curernt situation (young baby) i cannot travel right now, so watching your videos make me feel like i am in thailand again!! thanks mark :) (i love watching you and ying, you guys are so happy together)

I enjoy everyone of them that you do.
How long did it take you to learn Thai, Mark? You seem very good.
@@leekung100 hey, do u still teach thai?
My sons and I love the way you explain and eat the food, not to mention your unique facial expression, lol. Keep up the good work and I hope to meet you in real life soon. I have even taken to cooking after watching your vlogs!
