5-Snack Challenge at the Friday Night Market in Mae Sot, Thailand.

  • The town of Mae Sot in Thailand closes down a street near my guest house every Saturday night for a weekly night market. I went there last week for a 5-Snack Challenge.
    However, there is also a weekly night market every Friday night. It takes place on a different street. Just like for the Saturday night market, they close the street to traffic, and people set up stalls to sell food, clothing, drinks, and household goods. There is live music and a small massage station and lots of other fun things.
    Luckily for me, the Friday night market is also just a short distance from my guest house, and I took a stroll there this past weekend for another 5-Snack Challenge. I had my usual technical difficulties with my GoPro suddenly shooting quite dark video, but I powered through that and had some tasty snacks.
    I also learned some interesting things about how the market is organized. I hope you enjoy my visit to Mae Sot's Friday Night Market.

      Thank you! I am using a Ride Wireless Go microphone. I like it quite a bit, though it does add a lot of expense to using a GoPro in this way. My GoPro Hero 7 black does not have a microphone Jack, so I had to buy the GoPro Microphone Adapter to be able to plug it in. And then I had to buy a special cage from Ulanzi so that I had a place to put the microphone adapter and the Rode Wireless Go receiver. And that is on top of the cost of the microphone itself. I do like the sound that I get but, as I said, it's a bit expensive. 🙂

Just to give you someting back for my funk 🙌🏻

    Douglas, your last "doner kabab" snack is generally called "shwarma" which is a middle eastern name.

    • @PlanetDoug
      @PlanetDoug  3 роки тому +1

      I remember that shwarma was one of the names I came across when I did some reading about this dish a few weeks ago. But I found other names being used in different countries. I wasn't sure if one name was more generally accepted than another. To be honest, whenever I think of shwarma, I think of the final scene in "The Avengers." 😁

    Doner if I'm not mistaken is Turkish. Very popular in Germany... I'm curious to know what made that vendor choose this name.

    • @PlanetDoug
      @PlanetDoug  3 роки тому +1

      I'm not sure either. I first started thinking about this snack because I saw a photograph of a "doner kebab" stall on the Google Maps listing for the regular Mae Sot night market. I'm not sure that that doner kebab stall is there every night, though.
      I haven't taken my GoPro to the regular night market yet. I'll probably do that soon.

    Hi Doug. I noticed that you seem to have crossed 22k subcribers. You reached 10k just a few days ago so that's really amazing growth. Any idea on how you gained subscribers so quickly?

    • @PlanetDoug
      @PlanetDoug  3 роки тому +2

      I certainly noticed that, too. 🙂 At the moment, it is a bit of a mystery. A lot of new people seem to have subscribed to the channel in just the last 36 or 48 hours, but I haven't seen a lot of comments from new people. So I'm not sure who they might be or how they stumbled across my videos.
      The one clue is that a couple of my videos suddenly have over 10,000 "likes". That is very unusual. So my guess is that one or both of those videos were shared by someone or some organization with a wide audience. And perhaps that caused the mysterious UA-cam algorithm to suggest my videos to more people and things snowballed from there. That's just a guess, though.
      But whatever happened, and assuming these 14,000+ new subscribers are real people, it's quite exciting. 😎

Hence the exponential rise in number of subscribers. Indeed those vlogs are a good compilation of your vast travel experiences. Your style of honest vlogging further, is an added attraction.

    The way to handle the doner kebab is not to open and undo the alfoil. Just peel one end and slowly work your way down with each bite.

    which stabilizer do you use?

    • @PlanetDoug
      @PlanetDoug  3 роки тому

      I've been shooting video with a GoPro Hero 7 Black, so I just use the electronic stabilization that is built into the GoPro itself. They just call it HyperSmooth. There are no real settings to choose from in HyperSmooth. In the GoPro Hero 7 menu, you have two choices: Auto and Off.
      I always have it set to Auto, which is essentially "on". The stabilization of the GoPro is the main reason that I bought it and why I keep using it. I don't use any kind of stabilization on top of that. No gimbal or anything like that. 🙂
