Sichon (สิชล), Thailand - This is one of those pristine beach villages, that almost unseen Thailand, and what I loved so much about it was that it’s almost completely non-commercialized.
Ok, so my wife and I were spending some time in Nakhon Si Thammart, southern Thailand, visiting family. Nakhon Si Thammart happens to be one of my favorite provinces in Thailand for Thai food, known for being spicy and harsh, and you’ll find some amazing cuisine.
One day, we drove over to the tiny beach community village of Sichon (สิชล), I had heard about a small local fish market, and I was excited to check it out. We arrived at about 8 am, and it was one of those place where I got so excited because it was picture perfect. But then I saw all the empty trays of fish and I thought I had arrived too late because all the fish were gone. Luckily, an Aunty explained that the fishing boats hadn’t yet arrived, to my relief.
The fish market itself was beautiful, filled with friendly people, small delicious Thai street food snacks, and scenery to dream about. We had some patongko (ปาท่องโก๋) - 10 THB ($0.28), Chinese doughnuts and Khanom krok (ขนมครก) - 20 THB ($0.58), coconut griddle cakes, for breakfast, as we waited for the boats to come in.
Unfortunately the catch in Sichon (สิชล) today wasn’t the best, they were mostly small fish and nothing too exciting. But I did notice an Aunty selling some eels, and that caught my attention. The next thing you know, I was on the back of her motorbike, and we went back to her house to cook spicy chili eel (ผัดเผ็ดปลาไหล). It was truly an amazing experience seeing her cook the eel at her home in the village countryside.
For the rest of the morning we drove around Sichon, enjoying the stunning beach coastal scenery and finding a few interesting things along the way. They don’t really have many restaurants to choose from, so finally we found a small Halal eater on the side of the beach and went for it. Again, the Aunty’s were extremely friendly, and we ordered a few simple Thai dishes to eat along with the eel.
Sichon (สิชล) is a true off the beaten path destination in Thailand, and what I loved so much about it is that it’s so non-commercialized, peaceful and quiet, and the people in the community are so friendly and hospitable. It’s one of the most memorable places I’ve traveled in Thailand in a long time!

Your microexpressions when you actually don't like something but you're too polite or nice to say something negative about it are both interesting and very funny
This is one of the most beautiful and friendly places I’ve been in Thailand in a long time! You can read more details about how to visit Sichon on the blog: migrationology.com/sichon-thailand/

Mark Wiens Bro change your wierd expression when you teast the food.I think it's your signature bit its wierd bro expression. and one thing i really like is that the way you blog and finally bro change your expression if you can👍
Mark Wiens when I watch your Thai videos it really makes me proud to be part Thai because as a young child I seriously took it for granted but you remind me to really appreciate the community amongst the Thai people especially country people.
it makes me remember good moments with Yāy just spending the morning helping her pick jackfruit and coconut then just pigging out on fruit and having such a fun time and building such an amazing relationship.
I thank you mark for your videos and your open book personality to a diverse variety of people and culture 👍❤
P.S. Hello from a born and raised diverse Kiwi girl from New Zealand
+prasad what?? in this episode he seemed very natural
he realised i think so
Mark Wiens Another fantastic videos, what a beautiful place, OMG, amazing, love these I feel like im seeing the world with you folks, God bless you and your little family, looking forward to more food adventure..
Mark's videos are getting deeper and deeper to true meaning of cooking and foods. He hit the right point about what nature would give you everyday. The real life in a community and neighborhood got so much touch from Mark and his camera. No need to sugar coat everything in life. Thanks again.
humans are in general so innocent and charming... I mean Mark visits strangers and they invite him to their home and cook food for him... this is next level stuff. We should totally try to save our species.
Thank you, Auntie, for being so generous and making the curried eel for our viewing enjoyment.
I'm having a boring Sunday afternoon, but it's always a treat to see a new video from this channel
People... to each, it's own! Every place/country has their own beauty. The fun rests in their uniqueness.
Mark, your videos always makes me happy and hungry! You are the nicest youtuber and probably one of the nicest humans ever. Keep up being so awesome!
This video shows so much positive vibe/community feel and love. I really like the way you interact and talk with the locals (with respect). So funny how the aunty at the restaurant was surprised and asked if you knew how to eat everything. They're indeed nice people. Will definitely visit there one day ! Thanks for the video Mark :)
If there is one person that deserve 1 million subscribers is you mark you are an amazing blogger thanks for all the time and effort you put into your videos with your beautiful smile and charisma you are a great human being......... Love from Australia 🇦🇺
So touched to see the kind hospitality from the aunty, we don't have that in Europe these days!
Mark... Thanks for noticing me for this good journey in Thailand , this is what i really want in my lifetime ,and i have not watched your videos for months, i am glad that you had pulled me back..
HAPPY FATHER DAY'S MARK 👪 hope you have your favorite dinner today 💕💕you deserve it!
Thank you very much Sierra!
Mark, just want to say I love your videos. Sichon looks very friendly, peaceful and relaxing. I also want to say that I really love how you lift up Ying and publicly praise her every chance you get. It is so refreshing. I hope to start teaching ESL in Bangkok in the next couple of years to serve the people of Thailand so I am really studying your stuff so I don't feel like such a tourist when I go. Bless you.
Someday when I get a chance to go to Thailand I would love it if I could have Mark tour me to places like these. Not necessarily the tourist heavy attractions in Bangkok or Phuket but small coastal towns like these where you can get fresh ingredients and awesome food while enjoying the breeze of the sea. Its just simply nostalgic at how I remember when I was a kid going to see my Grandmother who lives near the ocean as well. And I would remember that if enough people who lived in the city who are born locals of that town come back for the weekend that the whole town just celebrates and just goes all out fishing. Just to serve all the people who came back and turn into a really big occasion. It was always a feast of clams, fish, crabs, lobsters, prawns, and geoducks.
Wow ! for everything the food, the people, the place, your happy family and the atmosphere ! Happy father's day!
Mark, Sichon is such a beautiful place and not to forget the very friendly people and their gracious hospitality plus great food! Thank you for sharing this vlog😀
He's so kind and gives of such a friendly vibe. Happy to have found him today 😬
THE TRUE BLESSING OF MARK WIENS IS TO BE ABLE TO EAT ALL THAT AMAZING FOOD AND. ..NOT GAINING ANY WEIGHT
Makes me just wanna drop everything and take off to a beach town, find local food and chill...
Mark and Ying please keep the videos coming I'm addicted!!!
The auntie from the canteen by the sea is interviewing your wife 😅😅😅 I'm from the Philippines but I've been living in Bangkok for almost 14 years now. I love Thai cuisine and I'm learning more about it from your channel. Thanks a lot!
Amazing how you don't find genuinely friendly, trusting people anymore, especially in the U.S. So awesome auntie invited you to her home and most of all cooked an awesome meal! Extra bonus for being on two wheels. ☺️
LifewithAnnaBee I made a cross country drive a few years ago and I met an old white couple in west Texas who invited me to their home for some home cooking. They were super nice. If wasn't in a hurry to get to California I would've taken them up on it. There are plenty of friendly, trusting people in the U.S. Not all Thais are great (I'm Thai) and not all Americans are bad.
TravelerPat
things with america ive noticed from a nordic country like finland is that americans are puppets who work really hard its reminds me of how capitalism thrives and how they are the biggest superpower of the world but they just need to take it slow imo but again there is good and bad people but thts my problem with america
LifewithAnnaBee I completely agree. You usually have to be the right skin color or ethnicity to be treated that well in the States. While living in Europe even as a brown person, I’ve received unbelievable hospitality compared to what I experienced in my home country, the U.S.
LifewithAnnaBee US is not that great. There’s other countries out there where life is better in terms of living very positive and enjoying life better . The smallest things we see in other countries are the healthiest things to live by. People in other countries are by far more friendly than people in US.
right now I have no idea what to do with my life and the only thing that makes me happy is seeing your videos. You inspire me so much, that I want to do the same thing as you :)

You attract so many good and friendly people Mark and Ying because you yourselves are also good and friendly. I enjoyed this video and the beach is nice, very peaceful.
It looked sublime! Not just the food, I mean the scenery too. A lovely beach.
So beautiful! What a blessing to meet such amazing humble lovely people. They share their culture and their homes with you. They are inspiring. I appreciate being able to share your experience.
I have been watching your videos for years and this probably is one of your bests if not the ....
Showing the culture and community is not less than the food...
What a friendly community BTW!
This video got me very emotional! It is beauty when you see humble and wonderful people in parts of the world that you can't imagine. Beautiful area for sure! Thanks Mark!

I love watching your videos and learning about the food and people from the places you visit.
Mark the main thing about your video you don't give sarcastic jokes or disrespect the people even in minor way.
Well done 👍
Beautiful places that we haven't seen or heard of.
Thanks 🙏
Another incredible video from you! What a beautiful place and such simple but amazing food - yum!
I lived near Sichon Police Station almost 23 years and just move out couple years ago.
I have been there many times and it's so beautiful like always. A lot of my friends live there. Most of them are muslim.
This video make me miss them and this beautiful village so much.
You make me hungry all the time when I watch your videos, Mark Wiens. Honestly, I'm in love with amazing Thai foods. I hope more Thailand Vlogs are coming soon.
Mark Wiens is without a shadow of a doubt the best! awesome trip brother! really enjoyed this video!
When I first watched your videos I found your very enthusiastic approach off putting but now I watch your videos and it makes me genuinely happy to see someone having such a good time.
Seriously one of my favourite vlog so far
This is such a great video and an awesome, random experience to be taken to someone's house via scooter to get a fantastic home-cooked meal.
Great video as always Mark! I've always enjoyed your commentary and descriptions of the places you go and the food you eat. Nice! :)
I love the narration style you employed in this video. Keep up the great content!
Auntie is flying! Awesome! 👍🏼😆. Those people are sooo friendly 💓
I was there in February 1967...a true paradise!

I haven't miss ur any videos.Everytime I saw it I will be eagerly waiting for the new one.

I love all your videos and you make them so enjoyable to watch. Thanks a lot for doing such a great work. Mark.👏

Thank you Haitham!
This video is so laid back and beautiful and leisurely. It's probably my favourite so far.
I just wanna reward everyone who helped, just for the sake of helping.its rare.
Another great episode !! Thank you Mark , love it very much !
Hey Mark..aunty was very generous huh..like the way she made it happen for you guys.
GODBLESS PEOPLE OF THAILAND ALWAYS
Hi Mark, the people are indeed friendly. And don't forget too that you had shown much respect to them. I'm very impressed by your high level of courtesy and respectfulness to them. Great job! This is one of your best video, if not the best. The manner you connect to the locals is admirable. This video is more than just about food!
this is another video that i am waiting for! the pristine white beach in sichon! i used to drive past sichon while on the way to donsak for a ferry ride to samui in 2006. the coconut plantation really reminds me on samui. the small clams are one of my favourite dishes and they look beautiful. i can say that sichon has a significant Muslim population like in Krabi and Phang Nga. besides, the pure coconut milk used in making the khanom krok is rich in oil and thus the seller does not need to use other cooking oil to make the coconut pancake. the spear is traditionally used in breaking the aged coconut fruit for copra which is used in making both coconut milk and oil. such an interesting video!
Thank you Yong, wow awesome to hear that, thanks for all your insights.
Wow! So many people are so friendly here! Makes me hungry just watching...😋😋
Hi, Mark seeing u with ur family is so plesentfull. i love seeing mika in ur videos . Mark eating somch of chills dont ur health get upset
Hi Mark,

Every time when you upload a new one, i make a small delicious dish for myself, so i can enjoy your vids even more! :-) I wish you and your family the best for the future and keep up this wonderful work. The world instantly looks so much more beautiful becaus of your videos. Thank you very much for this incredible work! Cheers from Germany! Daniel.
