Loved the power of the cap🧢🧢🧢brave lady 😊As you went down the alley, saw the bowls of food and water for the cats & dogs 🐶😻😉. Always follow the locals, they know 😊About 20 minutes in. Thought you were filming Granville from open all hours, so many bags, the bike should be doing wheelies 🛵Not sure about dry noodles 🍜🤔And the point to menu, brilliant 🍛🥘🍲🍝🍜👈👉. Question? What was the mystery item on your plate?? Safe journey Allan&Family

    Good Evening DJ. I am Thoroughly Enjoying your video's of Your Adventure in Thailand. I was looking at the Exchange rate for the Bhat with our English Pound. You can really get a lot for your Money in Thailand. The Food and Choice of different Dishes looks absolutely Gorgeous. This is the Perfect way to see the Street Food and Try anything that looks Enticing to You. I would Try anything and make it a Mystery for me. I really Love Thai Food. I Love a Good Pad Thai with Vegetables and either Beef or Chicken. So many different types of Thai Food to Taste and Extend ones own choice. Very much, Do what the Locals go and do. Try anything new and just go and Enjoy Yourself in this Beautiful Country DJ. Your Adventure has only just begun. Have a Great time DJ.

    😀 At 17:11 while you were describing your pork curry breakfast, and just about to sample the egg (oblivious of the little observer over your shoulder) I was focused on the lizard moving around on the wall behind you, near the green rope. Anyone else spot it? 😯🤫😄

      ​@@anthonydowling3356 Oh, I wasn't 'surprised', I know what it's doing there (used to seeing while travelling, although not been to Thailand). What's funny is Darren is oblivious of it...and didn't seem to notice even afterwards in the editing (didn't comment) and no-one else (as yet) has commented on it 😄

    Hey up Darren it seemed like you were keen then unsure but jumped our of the comfort zone and gave it ago, well done mate, street food in asia is an everyday thing for locals so if a place is locals and busy then thats the hygiene/food quality sorted, probably the opposite in Western catered for clean looking place, enjoy
