Thailand Street Food - PHUKET in 2022! Amazing Massaman Curry + JUMBO PRAWNS & Thai Seafood!

- This is the start of THAILAND 2022 Street Food series! Kicking things off in beautiful Phuket, Thailand. This is the largest island in the country surrounded by the crystal clear Andaman sea. A tourist hotspot but home to traditional, unique and delicious Thai Food. Especially in Phuket Town you can taste Phuketian street foods with rich history and influence!
In this episode I started the day at Roti Chaofa a Phuket institution and house of delicious curry and roti! I tried their famous massaman with chicken and also their classic curried drumstick. You can also satisfy your sweet tooth with their milk covered banana roti.
After breakfast I hit Thanon Thalang, a historic street lined with Sino-Chinese pastel-coloured row houses. This is the spot to get your postcard pictures of Phuket Town! Right around the corner from touristy Thanon Thalang you can find A Pong Mae Sunee. Here you can taste the Phuketian desert known as A Pong, a thin coconut batter pastry. These things are seriously addictive. Crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Make sure to try some while they're hot but buy as many as you'd like to take home at only 3 baht a piece.
You're going to want to cool off after walking around under Phuket's hot sun. I choose to stop at Kopitiam by Walai. This place has all the charm and old-world feel you'd expect in this historic city. I tried the blue pea flower and lime soda, a super refreshing and picturesque drink. Kopitiam also sells another Phuketian desert known as O Ei. This is a jelly made of a special type of fig served on shaved ice with fruit. Super refreshing and sweet.
Moving right along I hit up Kota Khao Mun Kai for some Hainanese chicken rice! When the owner makes you her favourite sauce combination you happily oblige and apply generously to meat and rice. She also had me try her famous crispy pork and thin cut red pork! This is a great lunch stop in Phuket Town.
A jump on my motorbike and rode down palm lined streets to Rawai in the southern part of Phuket island. The water here is turquoise blue with green hues. Perfect for swimming and jumping off the Rawai pier.
Logically my next step was to taste some fresh Andaman seafood and luckily for me the Rawai fish market offers every type of mollusc, crustacean and fish you can name. I tried the JUMBO prawns with a side of squid. Mook Manee a Michelin recommended restaurant cooks your seafood to your liking. Mine was simple; BBQ prawns and spicy squid salad. So good, so fresh!
To end my day I watched the sun drop behind Promthep cape in southern Phuket to wrap up my first amazing day of eating here in Thailand!

Hey everyone! I just want to clear up the confusion. Sabrina is home in Canada healthy and safe. We're dealing with some personal issues. Therefore for this Thailand series I (Luke) will be filming without Sabrina. Hope you understand and we didn't mean to concern any of you! Let me know what you think about this style of video and I can't wait to share with you all of what THAI food has to offer!!
Thank you Luke for clarifying, I am sure people didn't mean to get into too much of your private life. I have loved this style and I couldn't stop watching until the end, whereas sometimes with the two of you I find it quite repetitive. That's my personal opinion. 💗
Initially I was a bit sad but I think changes is for the best (for both of you), I noticed the "imminent ending" when there's "no more umami taste in the food tasting" back in Northern Pakistan🙂
I love both of you ❤️ waiting soon to be together on video Sabrina and you are so sweet ❤️
Hope to see both of you soon!!!
Sorry Luke I geuss we have all gotten ust to seeing both of you ..
Didn't mean to pry into your personal life
Glad she's she's home here in Canada 🇨🇦
Thailand is really the Queen of Street Food in Asia. Love the reaction is just natural and so he just looks cute and real.
Thailand is a beautiful country from the very top to the very bottom and in between. It’s easy to fall in love with the country every single time you go back, the food, the people, their culture and the beautiful landscapes. Enjoy doing the series !
Thank you so much for your kindest words to my beloved country. 🙏🙏🙏🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭💖💖💖
Yeah, you are right.
All of the places that you've gone in this clip are my favorite spot , especially at Roti Massaman Curry and Mook Manee Seafood. As a Phuketian , I can say that you are the one who pick up the real place that the tourist should not be missed.
Hi Luke, loved watching you in Thailand, so envious. Husband and I travelled to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and India many times to all those countries a couple of decades ago and loved it. Unfortunately we’re both in our 70’s now and don’t fly, we now just cruise, so your journey is sheer joy to watch particularly you eating in the local eateries, which is what we did. Thanks for posting all your travels.
The 1st two places served South Indian dishes. There were parotta, dosa and appam!
Love how there's so much overlap of cuisine among the different countries of SE Asia
Wow, Thailand is absolutely beautiful and love all of those dishes. Everything looked really tasty!😍
Yes the food is so good here!
OMG Luke, how much do I miss Thailand... loved loved this video! ❤️❤️🇹🇭
Absolutely beautiful! You can't get seafood fresher than that!! ♥️
You do an amazing job which we’ve come to expect, but there’s something about you and Sabrina that make a dynamic duo which takes it to the next level. Thanks for staying with it while Sabrina is away!!! Great job 👏
Just enjoy it guys, we can't confirm or deny what's happening except Luke or Sabrina. I'm sure they'll let us know when the time is right and ready, all we can do is wish them well in the mean time whatever happens. Btw, A Pong is ridiculously delicious snack, love them sooo much.
Yes!
It's nice to see your smile Luke!
I truly hope you guys able to overcome any issues you have. You've been through so much and it's sad you're apart. Take this time to reflect and really focus on yourselves individually, sometimes we have to take a break to really work on ourselves & that's huge when a relationship faces obstacles. Been there 🥺. Wish you guys the best! 💜
The seafood looks amazing... really loved it
We loved seeing all the Thai cuisine!
Glad to see you guys finally in my Mother’s land. Enjoy and God bless guys.
This is going to be a great series....love Thailand!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I have a feeling I'm not the first to ask but hope Sabrina is ok. Loving the beard btw 😁
That has my curiousty aswell
Me too!
He did say he had some personal issues preventing him from new uploads, but then said that they were looking forward to uploading more clips soon 🤔 so it is a bit confusing
Just seen a few comments saying they broke up. So sorry to read this 😔
@@mandymorgan3929 oh no! it was fun seeing em travel together all these years tho! Lukes looking like he's having a glowup with the beard!
What a great video yet again.
Delicious food to go with an amazing looking and I'm sure very tasty dessert.
A perfect conclusion of the video with that beautiful sunset.
Out of so many of your videos this video was so strikingly beautiful Especially the end! Those prawns are huge! They looked delicious! I think I will have to put Thailand on my bucket list! Thanks for the video!
Thanks Susan! JUMBO prawns!
My mouth was watering through the video. I miss the food and people and beautiful nature!! Great place to visit 👍

I have been looking forward to see your Thai adventures, and you did not disappoint me. Beautiful site and wonderful food. Love the grilled prawns.
Thank you Alice, food here is incredible!
Mind blowing episode, Luke ! I liked everything I saw, from the breakfast to the dinner. I think my favorite were the curries for breakfast, the hainanese chicken rice and the seafood heaven for dinner. Plus stunning places . Can’t wait for more 😍
Thanks so much, that curry was unreal!
I agree, it's just weird not seeing you guys doing the videos together. 🥺 But keep up the good work. And thoughts and prayers for Sabrina
Thailand is so beautiful 🤩 I’ve never been and I’m in Australia, it’s not far from here. I have to make it there one day, the good looks fantastic
Thanks Angie!
Ok, I NEED to try that curry. That looks like the ultimate comfort food 🤤
Perfect for breakfast!
We are very happy to see your happiness to visit many interesting places in our country, where has various cultures and friendly to all visitors. Thanks to present our lovely country to the World!!.
Can’t wait for this series! 🏴
Great video
Cant wait for whole series.
Love to Thai people from India .
The roti looked delicious, especially the banana one. And hard to beat the squid salad and grilled jumbo shrimp! Years ago, I stood on that cape you showed at the end. Gorgeous. Please continue making more Thailand videos - south to Bangkok and on to the north.
More Thailand videos to come!
That roti and chicken curry ...uff ...I feeled that taste from here... ❤️💙
The interesting part is not the food!
Where is Sabrina?🤔❤
Wow what a GORGEOUS PLACE!!!! I love curry its so good!!!😀😀🥰🥰🥰

ดีใจที่เห็นคุณมาประเทศไทย welcome to Thailand. 🙏😊
I want you to try "fresh spring roll" (ปอเปี๊ยะสด) in Phuket. I love it.

It’s been a long time
You finally back
Lots of love ❤️ and blessings
Love you and your Channel ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Finally the Phuket trip is up! I’m looking forward to this vlog since I saw Phuket in your IG Stories. And not to mention how I miss my second home. Hope you get to taste Som Tum (Papaya Salad) 😉
I'm glad to see you come to my country Thailand.Welcome to Thailand.
Always love your videos in the South East Asia region. Glad to see your journey brought you here once again.
I like that you are showing more food in this episode. Favorite is the prawns and the less attractive dish is the hailan chicken. Thanks for the video! Really enjoyed it and hope I can visit Asia soon.
Chill out people! As Luke said, he and Sabrina are dealing with personal issues. He probably doesn't want to share all of the details because they are... PERSONAL. Just get over it and move on.
Luke, I will certainly miss Sabrina but of course totally understand whatever it is that you are both going through.
Looking forward to viewing more of your delicious episodes. This one might be my favorite! My mouth was watering from that curry, the banana roti, and that crispy rolled up pancake thing!
Thailand street food!🤩🤩🤩🤩
I’m Thai and first time watching your video ! What a impressive video, the food looks great and love how you address them. Love it! Thanks for sharing
He’s so handsome
Love it your in Thailand 🇹🇭.
My next vacation spot!
What a perfect combination... roti massaman. By the way, banana roti gets along perfectly well with hot milk tea. Cheers.
Miss thai street food😋😋😋
That first Roti place has the best ever beef soup. It tastes like intensified tomyum soup, soooo good.
Welcome to Thailand!
Sawadee ka !
Thanks! 😃
Nice to see you. Happy Chinese New Year. Hope all is well with you n Sabrina.
Looks like a superb spot for seafood lovers.
Phuket seems to have amazing sea food and stunning nature. That's a wonderful combination and I can't wait to visit this place in the future. Thank you Luke for this awesome vlog. For me, the jumbo prawn along with the squid dish looked the most yummy
yes YES thailand videos. finally!
Oh wow what a vlog Luke!!! Amazing stuff right from the breakfast till the sunset view taken from the drone camera!!! made my day and also the sea food especially the jumbo prawns look quite tempting.... should try and visit Phuket for these things.... and people seems to be super friendly...👍
Glad you enjoyed it :)
The cape’s location, during that beautiful sunset, was probably packed with tourists and possibly with locals as well because of the massive popularity with one of their recent Thai dramas… I Told Sunset About You.
As for the dessert, "Oh-aew,” it was also the name of one of the main leads in the show, as well as his favorite dessert.
Hi, Luke and Sabrina we do hope that what things workout with happiness and comfort for the both of you, you both have our support. Sometimes the answers are not in the now but in the past when things were simpler and finding the simple answers were the solution to building the future. This is that future
look for the bright side of things. We love you both.\
Started with my favorite of all the curries...Massaman
Amazing Thai foods so deliciouse
Yes! It's time to explore again. Definitely I will finish this Thailand Series till the end❤
