      Avra in Bangkok is also outstanding for Georgian food. I'd say the Khachapuri is better in Phuket- the cheese was more authentic. But everything else is as strong or stronger at Avra in BKK.

      Oh man. Thanks a million for recommending Avra. One khatchapuri is way more than enough for one person, especially with unlimited olive oil, a khinkali and the complimentary bread basket. I should have saved half of it to eat the next day. Will definitely plan to go again next time I am in Bangkok, and I will probably be back more often as a result, too. Last night I ordered a Pide at Red Istanbul, I suppose the two beg comparison.. they're both delicious, it's the cheese in the khatchapuri that sets them apart. Oh yeah.. I did eat the stem of the khinkali.. there were red pepper flakes in the very top, that must've been there for a reason.😁

    Mee Sapam looks so suspiciously familiar. It looks like a local Sarawakian dish, colloquially know as "fried ccoked noodles".
    And the peranakan lady in her sarong wielding the mortar and pestle....too legit. I can remember my grandma doing that and i miss my grandma's cooking 😪. Tok tok tok said the mortar to the pestle and it meant that food was on the way in the kitchen. Its still Pavlov's bell to some of us.

    I lived in Phuket - and have to say the good food was pretty hard to find, but it did exist. The Khao Gaeng shop opposite Wat Chalong is a personal fave, the most amazing muslim style sup nuea (beef soup) and some incredible muu pad prik pao (pork fried with nam prik pao), super cheap too. But all in all, I was mightily relieved to move back to the north of Thailand where you don't have to hunt for the culture, or the good food!

    It is sad that heritage food are dying, yet something inevitable. I started to learn to cook many of Medan's Peranakan dishes because grandma could not cook anymore and there are some very unique creole dishes you can only find in behind closed doors of Medan Chinese shophouses. As much as I want to share them, I also want people to know the history behind the food before they eventually get claimed and appropriated.

It was a small yet once oldest market in Medan. The oldest mosque in Medan was just behind it and also the old little India/ Kampong Kling used to be there too. Afterwards a new Chinatown was built at Pasar Baru (Semarang and Selat Panjang food street). Later the Cantonese were segregated to Lau A Yok (Asia Megamas) and it became the third Chinatown. Nowadays Setiabudi is the new Chinatown away from the cbd.

      Here in Malaysia Peranakan (aka Baba-Nyonya) food has spawned a genre of restaurants. A lot of them are halal, you often find them in malls. One wonders how close they are to the original, of course, or how they've been adapted for commercialization.

    I went to Phuket in 1978-79 for the first time. It was a peace corp destination so I went. Flew in to Phuket airport from Songkla, went south to the first resort built in Phuket. No electricity except in Phuket town, so everyone had generators. Randomly met a friend who I went to school with in Bangkok ISB, his family owned the jewelry store in the resort. He took me to visit all the beaches in the south, Rawai, Nai Harn, etc in his pickup truck. Many of the current high end beaches we had to drive through tapioca fields to reach them. Afterwards, I went back to BKK on an overnight bus from Phuket town. I’ve been back since, but I prefer to stay in Rawai because it’s more local. I especially like the Talan Nat, or pop up wet market that happens twice a week in a field in Rawai.

    Nice to see some coverage of an island with such a checkered past & the multicultural future it's grown despite that.

    The mainland area of Phang-nga that is right next to Phuket is also filled with amazing low key restaurants. This area was also part of the tin mine rush so the restaurants are also pretty old. A few months ago I rented a scooter and checked out Khao-lak and Takua-pa; quite a good amount of Michelin guide places for towns of this size. And it is way less touristy than Phuket even though it is only one hour away from Phuket.

      So I cut this segment for time, but I did have a part written for the video about Phang Nga. In 1809 when the Burmese invaded, the people who were living on Phuket fled inland and actually settled what's now Phang Nga. So it's basically the only place to get actual old Phuket native food, interestingly enough.

I suspect that noodle stall near the Bobae Market mosque might have it, or perhaps one of the shops on Phetchaburi Soi 7. And I suppose some of the stalls at the vegetarian food courts would have vegetarian versions of it. Watching the Kanom Jeen video, you mention a stall at the Khlong Toei market, I suppose I should try exploring that area, too, it's also on the way to Bang Kachao. Searching Google Maps was discouraging, of the few Kanom Jeen Nam Ya restaurants marked, most are marked "permanently closed". Probably a result of COVID.

    Hey, y'all... this video's getting an abysmal watch/like ratio, and China wasn't mentioned, so I know it's not bots simply hitting the dislike button and burying it in faithless-reporting.
    There's a reason they say "like and subscribe". It's real. The algorithm... is real. If you want to keep watching this channel's excellent videos, please like, subscribe, hit the "notify bell" and leave a comment now and then to hit that "engagement" g-spot in the algorithm. You can leave your own comments, or just respond this this, calling me an idiot (YTB seems to like when commenters are flaming each other, as sick as it is...).
    Please consider taking your appreciation of this media team from "casual viewer" to "fan", or even "stan" if you like it that much. Just make your interest known to the algorithm - support the creators you like by doing the little things. Thank you for your your time.

      Hah- thanks so much for saying what I'd love to say, but can't get away with in a documentary. It just always feels wrong when I'm trying to tell cohesive and engaging stories to break in with a "like, share, subscribe!" (not to mention any ads, which sucks to turn down, but it just doesn't fit with this content). That's no disrespect to anyone else who DOES work that into their videos- I'm jealous. Just not our style. So I appreciate you taking the time to write.

    Well, as I am in a global food place like Phuket and Bangkok, with a sizeable Russian ancestry population as well, there's a decently rated Georgian restaurant that's near me! And that includes reviews from people who have actually visited Georgia thus perspective. Time to go! LOL. Not going to eat that kinkhali handle! No bad luck for me!

    I've never been to Phuket, I suppose the party-touristy vibe put me off, besides I figured it would be cooler up north. Besides I don't see the charm in beaches (haven't been to Pattaya either, come to think of it). I have motored around Southern Thailand a year or so before COVID, it was a little scary (police checkpoints everywhere). But the first Thai movie I ever watched was "The Tin Mine", which was set either in Phuket or just north of it. Young Bangkok man fails his University exams and is sent to work as a surveyor at a tin mine in the south. Pretty good movie.

      @@poom323 Thai cinema is really surprising. Lots of good movies. They'll actually show some in cinemas here (in Kuala Lumpur), that's where I watched "The Tin Mine". The recent "How to make millions before Grandma dies" was a bit of a surprise hit here - one of the major cineplexes had 9 or 10 screens showing it the first week. (I suppose one reason for it being a hit was it involved a Thai Chinese family living in Bangkok, and had a lot of stuff about Chinese traditions.) Whenever I visit Thailand I make it a point to watch one or two Thai movies (and one or two Japanese ones, which seem to be popular in Thailand). Always a surprise - the last time I was in Chiang Mai I watched "Tid Noi", which turned out to be a re-telling of Cyrano de Bergerac, with some VERY Thai twists to the story. I'd say my all-time favorite, though, was "Suddenly Twenty" - it turned out to be a remake of a Korean movie, and there are, by now, a Japanese version, a Tagalog version, and two Chinese versions, alongside the Thai version. One day I'll watch all of them.

      Come to think of it.. next week I'll be in Bangkok, and will try to visit some of the places mentioned in OTR videos. Just wondering how early I should go on Saturday morning to get the Hor Mok at the floating market in Bang Kachao.

      I'd say pre-11 AM you're definitely safe, and I'd guess you're probably fine until noon without much trouble. But I haven't been to that market in a few months and not 100% sure what the crowds are like these days.

I also plan to visit the Santi Asoke vegan food court (I just re-watched that video, but I couldn't find a location pin for it) and the Bang Kapi mall. I should also re-watch the Pratunam video - some of those ethnic restaurants would be interesting (never tried Nigerian food before, for one..).

      Should have specified “international” visitors. 85% of New York visitors are domestic. And re: 2023, I have no idea. There’s a massive range of statistics for 2023 tourists in Phuket (seriously- it’s ridiculous) so I use 2019 pre-COVID numbers as a baseline.
