Today I headed to the old town of Bangkok (Rattanakosin) to sample three tourist-friendly (but still authentic) Thai street food dishes in one area. I want to help you find authentic Thai street food wherever you are staying in Bangkok by giving you these little DIY food tours in every area of the city.
First I headed to a really unique Hainanese noodle shop called Ko Lun (ขนมจีนไหหลำโกหลุ่น) for a very rare mutton soup and some kuay teow hailum (hainanese noodle soup) with the most amazing crispy pork ever!
Next I headed around the corner to Mit Ko Yuan (ร้านมิตรโกหย่วน) for another really unique dish, a beef tongue stew.
Bangkok can be a bit overwhelming if it's your first time in the city as it's so big, so I thought I'd do some videos to help break it down into sections so you can get some awesome street food wherever you go.
Directions and opening times to everywhere I went:

My name’s Gary and I’ve been living in Bangkok for the past five plus years and travelling Thailand for over ten. I’m obsessed with Thai street food and it’s that obsession that led me to start this TH-cam channel. I want to share my favourite hidden spots in Bangkok and the rest of Thailand so you can fall in love with authentic, local Thai food as much as I have!
I’ve never understood travelling to a town or city and not eating the local food. How else do you really connect with a place? Let’s get out and explore together and I guarantee you’ll find a whole different side to this wonderful country.
If you love seeing off the beaten path, non-touristy, local life and authentic local life in Bangkok and Thailand then this is the channel for you. If go go bars on the Sukhumvit Road are more your thing (I’m not judging) then maybe not!

i don't understand why mark wiens have 10 mill subs you have only 18k your content is just as good in my book
He will get there. It takes time. 😊
Mark has been doing this longer than Gary; it takes time.
Thanks mate, I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. Mark got in early and worked harder than everyone else so he's now reaping the benefits 🙏
@@TJ11233 Thanks, I hope so 😅
@@pannachawangkul585 I'm not getting to Mark's level but I'm ok with that
คุณคือคนไทย ผมคือfcคุณติดตามคุณตลอด คุณมันเจ๋งสุดๆ
ขอบคุณมากครับ 😀😀😀
"It's like .. really good prison food." Lol! My step-mom (very good cook) tricked my sister and I into liking tongue when we were kids. We ate it, thinking it was just beef. She then asked if we liked it .. "Yes, super good!" .. then broke the news to us that it was tongue haha. Goes to show, if even a picky eater kid can like tongue .. we should all try new foods now and then because we might just like them. :)

Haha, I don't know where the prison food line came from, it wasn't even what I meant to say! I'm sure your mum's was the best. I've got to trick my little man every day!
Hi Gary, your ability to pronounce this word, งา (Sesame seeds) is spot on! Most non-native speakers have difficulty pronouncing it, especially Paddy Doyle. He pronounced it, "Na-Ga." Your next word to perfect it, is, ป (ปลา =fish, เปัด=duck, แปด = 8), etc. Ask any Thai person to show you how to sound this alphabet out, they will be more than happy to assist you. Watch how their lips press together as they sound it out. My advise is to sound it out this alphabet the same way the French pronounced the letter P in French. Once you have mastered these two most difficult alphabets for non-native speakers, the rest of Thai words will be a smooth sailing for you. I had the giggle when you said, " Prig pbon ( พริกบ่น ) , because it means complaining/mumbling chili, instead of ground dried roasted chili ( พริกป่น), see the difference? 😁. Please say hi to Helen and a big hug for Finley. 💖
I learned งา from the ice cream lady nearby here.ป is my homework for this week 😂 leave it with me
I'm glad you like our Thailand. I'm Thai and I like it too. But I don't know what England is like. I just know that in the feelings of many people sometimes want to go there. Snow is something that Thai people have never seen. That's why many Thai people want to see it. Thank you for liking our Thailand.🇹🇭
England is nice, I'm sure you would like it. The countryside is beautiful. Just don't order Thai food there 5555
man, hit me right in the nostalgic feels. my mom used to make that beef tongue stew when i was a kid. it's best as a crockpot/slow-cooker dish as that allows the tongue to become that insanely tender. (maybe instapot for modern day recipe?) now, i'm going to have to bookmark that place to go when i go back.
I bet mum's was the best though! I'm glad it took you back :)
Went to KoLun after watching your video. What an excellent place. Your channel is such an amazing resource navigating our first trip to Thailand.
I'm so happy to hear that Shane, made my day!
You nailed it in this episode. Both of these restaurant are institutional and both have Hainanese root!
Hainanese noodles is straight forward. Mitr Ko-Yuan; however, is the example of a "Cook Shop" one of the dying breed of restaurant in Thailand. Hainanese have reputation of hardworking and willing to do "dirty work" including working with Western chef. After they saved enough, they used their knowledge to open their own restaurant. However, certain ingredients are out of reach so they have to adapt with local ingredient and their own knowledge about Chinese food..... hence the "Cook Shop" was born. Typical menu are salad, si-tek (steak), and si-tew (stew) with typical Hainanese fair throwing in.
Obviously, now Western ingredient and restaurant are much more accessible..... hence the declining of the "Cook Shop" which perceived to be fake and inauthentic. I would argue that it's their own thing though. The history "Cook Shop" is so important to the ever changing landscape of contemporary Thai cuisine and the life of Sino-Thai community.
Wow, Khajonsak, you put it so eloquently, and I am learning something new, along with Gary, every day. Thank you & Kop kun, kah. 🙏
This is such amazing info, thank you so much. I think I need to go deep in the next episode about cookshops!
I know right? This is why I love my viewers ❤️
Crispy pork and beef tongue in a single video is the ultimate food collab! 😆 great stuff again Gary, I really do love that furious pointing, it gives the Mark Wiens face a good run for its money!
Thank you Liro. Hopefully one day I'll be a furious pointing meme 😅
😅😄😅...right on!
@@theroamingcook I can already see it!
Every one of your food vlogs makes me salivate whether I'm hungry or not, and the difference in the non-touristy, glitzy areas is a welcome experience.
Thanks you as always buddy, I'm so glad you enjoy the videos
You're so knowledgeable about Thai food. I'm drooling all over the place 😋 A very enjoyable vlog 🙏
Thanks so much Oy 🙏
That beef stew soup makes me hungry. I mean everything makes me hungry.
Haha, me too!
Gary your in depth descriptions of the taste of the dishes eaten together with ingredients are top notch. Thank you 😊
Thanks somuch Carol 🙏
I love stews. OMG 😱 this is what I have been missing and was just thinking about it.
Soooooo good Deng!
แซ่บๆครับ😋
ขอบคุณครับผ มมชอบมากครับ
น่ารักนะ พูดไทยเก่งด้วย
ขอบคุณมากครับ
Welcome to Thailand, hope you enjoy your trip. I recommend Isaan food. Play papaya salad, grilled chicken, larb, pickled fish. Very delicious.
Thank you so much!
Another nice video. Good job.
Cheers mate, you too
Definitely when i come back to Bkk. I have marked local thai restaurants you have visited so i can give them a try and get an authentic experience. Thanks for this.
I hope you can make it back soon Sunny
Just watched this one Gary, always a fan of crisp pork soups Aroi Aroi🙏🇦🇺
Man this is some serous pork. Stays crispy for at least 5 minutes in the soup 🔥
I can not wait to go to Thailand, hopefully later this year. You mentioned you do tours. That is great as i usually intend to find great places to eat but end up lost and never finding it.
Let me know when you're coming, I'll make sure you don't get lost this time haha
Great content brother! Hope you don’t mind some explanation on the broths as you seem a little unfamiliar in the beginning:
The shop asked you whether you wanted Nam Kon or Nam Sai. Kon means thick/dense/viscous while Sai means clear/transparent. Certain dish can come with Kon or Sai option, usually broth-based, such as Kuay Jup or Tom Yum. While Kuay Jup Nam Kon’s broth can be viscous (I.e. added flour to make the broth thick), usually the word Kon indicates a different style of preparation which makes the broth colored instead of clear. Kuay Jup Nam Kon uses chinese five spices, which makes the broth brown in color but also “thicker” in taste. Tom Yum Nam Kon can add ingredients such as chilli oil, prawn’s “fat” (actually the hepatopancreas), condensed milk or artificial creaming agent; which results in its bright red color / thicker broth due to chilli oil and fat content.
Thanks so much 🙏🙏🙏
Omg this is heaven for me
Soooooooooo good
yummy i have to be full and watch your post 😂😂always hungry after seeing food street😅😅😅😅
hahaha, likewise! :)
@@theroamingcook 😅😅😅😅im chubby 😂liok my page i prove it😁😁😁
This vlog is my new obsession! I don't know if its the great and unique foods, the Thai language lessons, the cutey-pie ginger baby or the dreamy accent! I'm going to say all of the above! Do you get out of Bangkok to other areas and do food tours?
Haha thanks so much Katherine, I’m glad you’re enjoying everything
Gary the sauce, most likely is worcestershire sauce & ketchup. Typical Hainanese style in South East Asia
Yes Kenny, he said ketchup, soy sauce and pork soup but I’m sure there was Worcestershire in there
Again ,i just walked by not knowing 🤦♂️Chilli flakes makes you regular Gary as we all know ,so keep up the good work mate 👍😁The Family as you said goodbye made me laugh ,just wait until us you tubers hits the town when all things open up ..''I Remember Gary ''😁
Haha, yeah I’m a bit lost without the 🌶 like having my morning coffee 😂
oh you make me hungry again
Then my job is done :)
Yeah, this is the place I would like to visit and it will be nice to know the best food places are near. It would be nice if you can try different things for us besides these restaurants., they look super yummy. The noodles 🍜 look heavenly yummy and definitely must try , loving the sesame too.
It's a really great place to stay Sheila. I have done a few videos there now so I'll put them in a playlist called 'Old Town Bangkok'
Beef tounge stew and "Mi krob" are my favourite dishes at Mit Go yuan, Tom yum koong nam sai also spot on. 😋
I will definitely have to try the mi krob next time
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching! ❤️🇹🇭
Awesome!
🙏🙏🙏
Good one Gary
Cheers Dale 🙏
สวัสดีครับ ยินดีครับ
ขอบคุณมากครับ
I suggest you other 2 restaurants
- Agave (Foo Mui Kee 2)
อากาเว่ (ฟูมุ่ยกี่ 2).
located at Rama9 Soi7
- Silom Restaurants
สีลมภัตตาคาร
located at Borommaratchachonnani Soi59, Taling Chan district.
.
I have no sponsor for those 2 but those 2 are the living legend restaurants which are old-fashioned Western/Chinese fusion food.
Thanks so much I will try. Silom restaurants is near my wife's school so I will check it out!
Very nice
Thank you
เนื้อแพะตุ๋นไหหลำเป็นอาหารหาทานยาก ถ้าคุณเจอร้านไหนที่ทำขาย คุณต้องลองกินให้ได้ Hainanese braised goat meat is a rare dish. If you find a store that sells You must try it.
ใช่ครับชอบมากครับ
Ko Yuan is the Chinese name of the owner of the restaurant. Mitr is the bali-sanskrit word means friends or friendship so when combined the two words are translated to Ko Yuan friendship. Some of Thai language is borrowed from Bali and Sanskrit.
Ah ok, thanks so much for that. Your knowledge is always great!
Chinese stew usually added Maggi, ketchup and maybe some Worcestershire sauce to the bone broth. Good with either bread or rice. Cheers.
Definitely ketchup and he said soy sauce and pork stock
I loved stewed beef tongue. There is a very good place for that called Agave Restaurant at rama 9 soi 7
Thanks Pun, I will check it out 🙏
Another great vid, Gary. A ways back, you did a walk along a commuter rail line (can't find the vid) and a woman ran out and invited you into her yard. She told you to come back with your wife. Did you ever revisit her?
Thanks Rick mate. You know I never did but I’m popping back for part two soon so I’ll see if she’s about!
Def going to the 1st gaff duchess. Not sure if I'll get to the 2nd tbh but will put it on my 2nd tier list. Thank you again for your efforts to eat all this food and report back to us. Your bravery is ridiculous (as some might say)!
Yeah can't miss the first one fella. The second spot is absolutely legendary for its tom yum and classic Thai/Chinese dishes. Much better than what I ordered
Unique yummy
Very!
@@theroamingcook I love unique yumm yumm 😋. Enjoy eating.
Nice! The tongue dishes look delicious!
The tongue was lovely!
Soup lin woo-a (ซฺพ ลิ่น วัว, or sometimes, งัว)= Cow's tongue soup. You said it correctly, Gary. Well done!!!
Yay 5 stars 😊
Thais always said farang like you guy were born here in the last life for sure.
Hahahah, I love that!
Absolutely Love Pork. I Could Hear Crunch. I Really Like Noodles .Soups Looked So Yummy.. You Kept Eating The 2ND Dish. I Prefer The 1ST 1. You Made Me Hungry.
The 1st is one of my favourites anywhere
9:44 😅😅 Glitch in the matrix.
😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you Gary, for sharing. You were in my childhood area. It has not changed since I left 40+ years ago. Hopefully I'll be back soon. You should come by my old house that my brother converted to rooftop cafe, called Mynd Rooftop Cafe at 31 Dinso Road.
Thank you so much. I have pinned your cafe on the map and will go this week
@@theroamingcook Hope you will enjoy the coffee and the view. My brother, Pong, is the owner of the house, and his friends are running the cafe.
Excellent choices mate. I’m always in the hunt for good lamb/mutton soup and anything beef. Have you tried Wattana Panich in Ekkamai? Talk about an old traditional stewing pot of beef and stuff plus a great lamb soup too!
Didn’t Gary say it’s goat not lamb/mutton ?
@Coralie Clarke lamb is sheep meat. Mutton is goat meat. Both are different animals, but both are sold as lamb/ mutton. One is a wooly animal and the other is one with a goatee. Both hv similar meat
Thanks mate! I have been years ago and I definitely have to go back soon!
I think the confusion, which I had also is that in the UK, mutton is sheep meat and in SE Asia it’s got meat. It’s hard to tell the difference once it’s stewed in my opinion
@@theroamingcook potato- potato, tomato-tomato mate !
Another good vid +1. Excellent descriptions of the flavours - five spice etc. and you made it pet 🌶🌶!
We made pork pies (for tomorrow - pastry half butter, half veggy lard! + filling from Lidl! ) and "seiche à la plancha" (with Chinese pineapple-cut cuttlefish) today. 😋
Sounds amazing mate, glad to hear you're back in the kitchen
🙏 🙏
Gary you make me so bloody hungry
Hahah, then my job is done!
IT ALL LOOKS SO GOOD // i love goat grew up eating it //cow tounge soup it looks my greadmoms just need to be a little thicker // thanks so very much
I'm sure grandma's was the best 😃
i always go to those non touristic places because my wife is thai, and yes the food is much better, but also much more spicy, but i love it..and the prices are also much better.i also like to eat that crispy bacon.goat meat you don't see that so quickly in Thailand.the beef tongue also looks good to me.
I think for sure this is your kind of place. You would love it I think!
Great stuff Gary, Bangkok old town is unreal. Have you ever been to the Pad Thai joint near Jai Fai, not Thipsamai (3 doors to the left from Thipsamai), with the lime green walls, and the awesome collection of old school vintage photos. That would be my favourite Pad Thai joint in BKK.
I think it's called Lueng Pha Justin, I'll have to check it out again next time I'm up there.
@@theroamingcook yes, that's the one. Full of shrimp head fat goodness
9:43 thought I was having a case of deja vu.
I've tried beef tongue a few times in Mexican dishes. Always was tough and chewy which has kept me from eating it again. I'll need to give this place a chance.
Haha, yeah left the outtakes in!
This is really soft mate, definitely give it a go but that stew isn't going to be for everyone
currently watching with a burnt pizza from asda counting down the days til may 🙏😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't feel bad, I burnt garlic bread while making spaghetti for my husband, too. 😁
Did you try the old girls duck soup just behind Khoi san
Not been back there yet but I will do soon!
I need to find recipes for these. I used to walk around that area everyday. Didn't had them since high school
I'll try and get the recipe for you from the owner :)
Ox tail, cow foot, cow intestines and cow tongue are my favorite meats.
All great cuts for sure!
I can eat everything you've mentioned, but I will skip cow foot though. I tried the Mexican Manudo soup from the can once, it smelled so rank, as if they didn't clean the foot/feet thoroughly, you know, like they, put the whole barn yard as the seasoning. I'm sure it is for the acquired taste, but it is not for me.
@@pannachawangkul585 EVERYTHING has to be cleaned really well. That is basic.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 🙏 🙏 🙏
Gary Butler "No Chilly No Life" 🤔 what ya doing mate, i gues you want a very good slogan. And i like it. Mai phed, mai kin, we all know 😉
Well see you later today in the "not so 5 minute friday" vlog, or how i call it, the triple F with G.B. " Food Friday Flog" with Gary B, hahaha 🤣 not good but i like it mate 👍 and yes you can use it buddy, no worries 🤞
Anyhow, the crispy pork channel must come i so so love that, and the wife too 😋
Me ain't a fan of those thick white rice noodles, but hey can't win am all. And as always, C Ya in the next one, cheers 🙌🍻
P.s. Chai is in town, maybe he can help ya out with the camera mate, cause men ow men, hihihi joke buddy 😛
Hope i got some big smile on your face with this comment 🤭
Always smiling when you comment mate! :)
I saw Chai and did some videos with him yesterday, he's a great guy!
No Chilli No Life...get your t-shirt now
I thought it's tao jeaw (bean paste) at first, the shrimp paste.
Yes same here!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🇰🇭🇹🇭
🇹🇭❤️🇹🇭❤️🇹🇭❤️🇹🇭❤️
Thank you very much Gary for another fantastically interesting vlog and I feel both the aroma and the flavors from the different environments when you present the dishes we get to experience thanks to you🌶😋🙏
Thank you so much Per, I'm so glad you liked this one 🇹🇭
That tongue 👅 dish looked rank
Like tomato soup powder with chicken seasoning
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻☺️
😁 😁 😁 😁
Na don’t go back there. You need to go to Nontumburi
Too much chili?...looks like Gary is enjoying life #NoChiliNoLife Admire your restraint for describing each component instead of just digging in!
hahaha #nochillinolife for sure! Thanks mate, not everyone likes me waffling on!
Gary, curious, but is gurmar (leaves) easy to find in Bangkok? I think it's mostly cooked in the north, but not sure. Thanks!
Yeah very easy to find online. It’s called Chiang Da here
@@theroamingcook Did you see the UFC fights last night? Or are you strictly a boxing fan and don't much go for other fighting?
@@aaronbux1 I did mate, a bit too much grappling going on for me in all honesty. I was gutted for Masvidal
@@theroamingcook Me too. I can't stand the Trump loving Covington ha. Glad Usman put him down twice. A couple of the undercard fights were better.
The soup is spiked with 5 spice 😂😂
😂😂😂
Thai sub please🇹🇭🙇🙇
done 🇹🇭
Really good prison food
I don't know where that came from 😅
Really good prison food? How many days you done inside?
Thankfully, never done a days bird 🙏
@@theroamingcook I've done 27hrs in nick, thats long enough, but actually given no food in cell. I was 19.
Do you have any plans for a food business of your own? Ever consider a Thai business partner?
I might go back to catering when I’m back in the UK but I have no interest in owning a restaurant

For Gary: "Just subscribed." 😀
Thanks Panna 😎
ขอบคุณมากครับ 🙏🙏
If you search for delicious isaan food in the old town, go to 'bunton restaurant' its opposite from the ministry of interior or just next door from nattaporn ice-cream. Trust me, or i will pay your money back :)
Thanks, I’ll definitely check it out, I love that area!
@@theroamingcook)just let me know :)
I'm Fail
Oooooh no me gusta! Sorry mate 😂❤️🙈🙏🏽😩
hahah, you're going to have to start giving requests 😂
@@theroamingcook I don’t really eat much beef or pork. I also prefer not to cook fish or chicken in my home. I hate the smell and start feeling guilty about eating animals 😷 I usually buy baked chicken from Gourmet Market and order grilled barramundi from Harvest restaurant on Soi 31. I’ll order a beef burger on special occasions 😇 I like crispy bacon with my pancakes or a BLT 😂 My fish spots at Chatuchak Market & Punnawithi are closed which breaks my heart 💔 It’s complicated 😎
Why are you called the roaming cook? You aren’t even a cook lmao
Hahaha, Ok lemon...
@@theroamingcook 🤔
Your video quality is good. Are you using Panasonic Lumix GH5? (now got GH6). Any video camera Gimbal stabilizer in use? Like for example Zhiyun. What software do you use for post processing the video? Thanks.
Thanks mate. I’m using an Olympus em1 mark ii, no gimbal just in camera ibis. Shoot in flat then add a bit of contrast and saturation back in post using fcpx. I’m happy it looks like it’s shot on the gh6!
you know that you are in a honest restaurant when the menu is in Thai,English and Chinese (or only in Thai) and not a different Thai menu and a seperate English menu. because then you are fucked most of the times
100 percent mate!
Gary Butler Killin it as usual
Thank you as always my friend 👊
Hi
Hey
