Thanks for watching! The crab curry really was tasty, and I'd definitely like to have it again next time I visit beautiful Sri Lanka.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It's one of the best neighborhoods in Bangkok for food!

I always am :) That's why I started The World of Street Food! Check it out if you are in Waco!

It was so good!

I've never been to South Korea, but I do love Korean food! I would love to visit sometime. I know that everything would be delicious, especially the Korean BBQ.

Hey, thanks for watching and sharing your perspective! While it's true that some places in touristy areas might have higher prices, there are also plenty of hidden gems and authentic experiences to be found. While I certainly don't eat at places like this every day, sometimes it's nice to be a tourist and treat myself by paying just a little more for the experience. After more than a decade of living in Bangkok, a simple plate of kraprao moo with a fried egg is still my go-to, but from time to time I like visiting the more touristy parts of town. Do you have some favorite local places you'd like to recommend? I'd love to check them out!

Definitely... Even my local bus fare has almost doubled from 6 baht to 10 baht in just ten years. A plate of kaprao moo (stir-fried pork with basil) cost around 35-40 baht when I first moved to Bangkok about a decade ago, and now the same dish at the same shop can cost up to 60. Inflation got really bad during and after COVID, and it hasn't gotten much better since. Bangkok especially isn't as cheap as it used to be.

Thanks for the comment! While there are certainly dishes that you will find in any Chinatown neighborhood around the world, each community has its own flavors and specialties based on the migrant history and the local ingredients available. In Bangkok's Chinatown, you'll find a blend of Thai and Chinese cuisine, reflecting centuries of cultural exchange beween the two countries. From street food stalls serving dishes like Guay Jub (rolled noodle soup featured in this video) and Kao Moo Dang (Thai-style red pork with rice - one of my favorite dishes), to specialty desserts like Bua Loy Nam Ging (ginger soup with rice dumplings), the variety is astounding. Though each one of these is similar to traditional Chinese dishes, they are made with local Thai ingredients and have evolved over the centuries. I would love to film another video in Yaowarat featuring some of the more unique fusion-type dishes that can be found in this neighborhood! If you have any recommendations for some of your favorites, please let me know. I'd love to check them out!

You're right. It's pretty expensive for Thailand, especially considering that a plate of basil chicken or similar costs around 40-50 baht. I justify it as paying for the pastrami, which was really good. It's definitely not something I'd have every day. Maybe only every once in a while, as a special treat.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for checking out the channel! I appreciate it!

Thank you for checking out the video! If you have some restaurants, dishes, or neighborhoods that I should check out, please let me know! I'm always looking for good recommendations.

It was great, and pretty healthy as well!

The dim sum and noodles in that area truly are exceptional, aren't they? If you have any particular spots or dishes that stood out to you in Bangkok, I'd love to hear about them and check them out!

Was wondering whether is it worth it to check out Yaowarat morning market?

too many waiting for you

Rung Reung(Tung)/ Jay Fai (she is retiring)/ Khao Soi/ crab meat fried rice, mango rice, coconut crepes

@@dcar6530 I've been to Jay Fai before, but unfortunately it was before I started making videos. I was lucky enough to go during COVID when there weren't many tourists, so I didn't have to wait long. I know that her crab omelette is the most famous, but I actually liked the kee mao kung, or drunken shrimp, the best. I've never been to Rung Reung, but I'll try to go soon. I looked it up, and the noodles look great. Thanks for the great recommendations! I'll be sure to follow through.

@@dcar6530 That's what I love about Thailand! It's impossible to be hungry here.
