    The dishes on the $1.41 buffet were actually all side dishes that Thai people normally eat with steamed rice. So if you eat them without rice, I can tell you that they're probably all a little too salty. So the taste of all the dishes there usually goes well with steamed rice. Unlike the $83 buffet, where most of the dishes are prepared without rice, the taste is much more pleasant than the $1.41 buffet. For Thai people, the $1.41 buffet is something for everyday consumption, while the $83 buffet is for special occasions.

    Watching these food & travel vlogs with Sonny inspires me to start eating healthier again and actually get creative with the food I consume. I've been so lazy, I only shove the worst kinds of food in my mouth, I haven't even cooked in my kitchen for at least two months. Last summer I discovered middle eastern food for myself and cooked so much new stuff. Now I just feel depressed and no motivation, but actually cooking and eating clean would surely raise my mood and make me feel phisically better too..

It really is meant for taxi, delivery, and other types of riders. You can drive up and park, but the local workers will be annoyed, as it takes up a spot . They just won't tell you. Most of these guys are just daily workers who come, and ppl who work very close. If you did want to walk that half mile, feel free to try. Just hope your use to very high humidity, beating sunlight, and tropical temperatures. It ain't easy to walk that if your not use to it.

      $1.41 Vs $83? It's not as much about the price, but rather it's how the food you eat affects your body in terms of nutritional value; such as more on nutrient-rich vegetables, fruits, grains, etc and less on sugar, sodium, saturated fat, cholesterol, etc.

      Besides, I really like the $1.41 buffet which has plenty of nutrient rich vegetables and fish. Just easy on sauces. Here in the USA, a buffet like this, even street food, would be around $10. As for myself, I ate a $6 mix-veggie salad today and am feeling good about it!

    I ate at this Marriot on one of my last trips to Bangkok. My first time not eating on the street. There was some type of Buddhist holiday for street vendors so no street stalls in my area. After walking around searching for a food stall I gave up and went to this Marriot for a Buffet breakfast. It was delicious, but I succumbed to the effects of food poisoning before I could leave the hotel lol Thankfully my hotel was only 6-7 blocks away. Ended up bedridden for 1 day and was still sick for 3-4 more days by the time I made it to Hokkaido where I spent two of those 3-4 days in my hotel room. Thankfully it subsided enough to allow me to go on my amazing tour of hot springs and food across the island. So ironic that the first time I got sick in Thailand was from eating in a restaurant rather than on a street stall.

The first one looked like Chaduchuk Market or close to Mo Chit? I can't wait to go back to see my son. Hopefully you have been to Noodle Boat alley by Victory monument. That place is where people consume vast amounts of noodle. Meh Luong Hang, aroi mak mak.

    I have lived in Thailand for over 25 years and my Thai wife wouldn't even go in the Marriot. She would plumb for the street food and I must say so would I. To get that selection for 50bht is a steal. Because I have lived here so long I eat like Thai's, little and often. The food looked great at the Marriot but I couldn't eat more than a Noodle soup and 1 other dish. So pointless even going for us. Great Vlog though.
