One of the most impressive and satisfying thing for Thai people to watch is foreigners eating Thai foods. Absolutely, you made us so happy and proud of.
Get some Penang Curry and Massaman - And see if you can find Gai Yang - Thai bbq chicken essentially - cooked with bamboo sticks and usually at a lot of street food stalls!
Being from Maryland and staying near the ocean for most of my life, steamed blue crab IS FIRE. I LOVE CRAB. Thai food is awesome, delicious. I live near a Thai restaurant and my family and I eat there frequently.
You have to try Papaya Salad(Somtum) again but with a grilled chicken and sticky rice. It is one of the most popular dish(as popular as padkrapao) among thai locals.
He ordered it from a tourist trap restaurant, you can definitely get all that for sub $7 from many local spots in BKK. Although definitely easier if you have a local Thai friend to show you the way.
As a non-Thai, Thai food is one of my favs so for 1) I can’t believe you’ve been sleeping on Thai food! and 2) I was over joyous seeing you experiencing and absolutely enjoying these new flavours.. nice one man. 🤙🏼
Thai food is the best in the world. Btw most Thai curries are soupy and Thai, people mostly eat with a fork and spoon, much easier 😂 and don't forget to squeeze the limes into the dish, adds a whole other level
The whole time he ate the pad thai I was thinking SQUEEZE THAT LIME! Even though personally I much prefer drunken noodles the lime is essential to pad thai
@@JohnHausser the ones I had in Bangkok were, and the ones from my local Thai restaurant (run by a Thai family) are but you can ask for less spice usually.
@@JYLee-rr1sy When ordering papaya salad, you have to specify, with or without "Pla ra" (it's fermented fish sauce, a lot funkier than regular fish sauce). The version without Pla ra, they will use regular fish sauce instead, which is what I prefer. :)
Rice mango even with banana is a poor man's food back in the day. It's become a stample and a taste of home. A phenomenal feast! So satisfying to watch.
Remember being at a Thai restaurant here in the UK. A first date was in progress at the table adjacent. The lady said she wasn't very keen on heat or spice and her companion told her he thought the Papaya salad would be a safe option, which was duly ordered... Bet they never had a second date!
For the papaya salad, I recommend putting them in the fridge for a while then serve them cold later. The papaya will become even crunchier and more refreshing.
Thai food outside of Thailand is usually not the same. Like if you are in the UK and order Indian food, you can get stuff that's very similar to what you get in India, Thai food abroad is often nothing like the same dish in Thailand.
The thai food here in san diego california is amazing and pretty authentic if you know the right places. My moms best friend is thai and she's a chef so I grew up eating home cooked thai food which is obviously the best but I know a few real good places too
I think it's because many of Thailand's neighboring countries often run Thai restaurants instead of running their own nation's cuisine due to the well-known and popular Thai food but lack of authentic know-how and recipes to cook. So, kindly double check whether the restaurant owner is Thai or the head chef is Thai; otherwise, you will get Asian fusion food or Thai-inspired food instead.
I know. Those are the best foods you chose (and add in Massaman Red Curry.) The papaya is underripe so crunchy in that salad. I loved visiting Bangkok. What an amazing country.
Hey Ben, I’m so happy you are enjoying Thailand and our food! I really hope you spend enough time here to see all the wonderful places we have! Cheers! Thank you for visiting!❤
While you're in Thailand, make sure to try MIANG KHAM. Not just the standard version wrapped in a leaf, but the special version that you can get wrapped in a flower petal. Get ring lady on it.
Thank you for loving Thai food. Moreover your team did great finding the right restaurant with unimpressive dishes. there are still hundred dished that you may love
My moms best friend is a thai chef so I grew up eating it, its BOMB. Definitely can attribute my spice tolerance to eating it. If you want it a little less spicy and more of a meal eat it with cold/room temp rice noodles!
Thailand is a foodie heaven my only complaint is globalization. I love Southeast Asian countries because of that feel of being somewhere foreign. Thailand is too westernized for my tastes, I tried my best to only eat at Thai restaurants to keep with my tradition of eating only local food like I did in Vietnam Cambodia and Laos, but I still found myself eating every other day at a KFC or McDonalds, I cant help it its in front of me and easy. But with that said Thai food especially seafood is cheap, if you used to going to seafood spots in the states and spending 20 to 30 on a seafood plate, in Thailand you can get some grilled shrimp fish rice and a few beers for less than 10 dollars. Freaking amazing.
Oops, you’re supposed to squeeze the lime on the pad Thai, will change the whole flavor. If you had more sauce for the dessert it will soften the sticky rice :)
Ben my favorite thing to eat in the world is Prawn Pad Thai!! And the yellow curry and the Pineapple specialty rice. But I'm a whimp with heat. And like I said in the previous video my sister in-law is Thai and I didn't get into Thai food till I was 42 and I'm 65. And Damn that shit is good!! Great video. I love the mango beef salad. Same at the Mago prawn salad. I cook and bake my own food cause the food out there aint real good but really good Thai food or sushi is the bomb!!
classic thai dishes has been knowing for hundred years as for the food combination of it . each ingredient match and pair to each other very well. if u consume for the first time u don not slurp so fast or too hard as the hotness and spices will go into your throat, just eat slowly to make your mouth and tonge get adapt to the intensities. an for somtum papaya salad enthusiast need to eat right after they serve , if let to stay too long the taste would be stale and not pungeant
You don't need chopsticks, this is Thai food. Thailand has had the fork since the latter half of the nineteenth century. Interestingly they don't actually put the fork in their mouth, they use it to put the food on a spoon which then goes into their mouth. 🤣
Thum mak hoong (papaya salad) is soooo damn good and as a hispanic i grew up with alot of lao and thai friends and i usedto tear some thum mak hoong up i tell ya! They used to make it extremely spicy with some sticky rice on the side.. mmmmmmmm❤ authentic thai and laos foodnjust hits WAY DIFFERENT!
Som Tam(Papaya Salad) in the middle is my favourite of these. Which is surprising because i dont usually do salad. Shame you didn't have Khao Soi which is the best Thai dish in my opinion.
papaya salad / tom yum has to be one of my favorite thai dishes, but can only handle so much, my local thai place does not hold back at all on spice. such unique flavors/textures compared to the local stuff in New England

You know it's good when our boy gives that head shake after every bite.
11:31 You actually have to squeeze the lime in there for the full flavor.
yes
Agree. A big miss😂
LOVE Thai Food! Thank you for sharing your meal!
From a Thai chick, Thai food is unlike any else! It's genuine flavour heaven. They really know how to balance it all.
Spent 3 years in Thailand in the early 90s. All I cared about was the food! 😁😁😁

Simply the best of the best 👍👍👍

Dude what a steal! 37 clams for all that? That would be like 100 bones here in the states
Perfect deal to celebrate Sunday night Chiefs victory 🥳
So true, when he said 37 dollars i waa like wtffff. Easily around 100 here in the U.S.
nice usage of 2 different slang words to refer to dollars lol
He ordered it from a tourist trap restaurant, you can definitely get all that for sub $7 from many local spots in BKK. Although definitely easier if you have a local Thai friend to show you the way.
@@AssyMcgeeKicksAce well sure he’s technically a tourist so it’s not a big deal but even at that price it’s still worth it
Wow all of those dishes seemed sooo good! I love when you make us discover new foods and cuisines!
Just the way it looks you can tell it's on another level

Is it true that authentic Thai curry dishes are always spicy ?
@@JohnHausser Yes, but most places in the US will cater to whatever. I wouldn’t recommend it with 0 spice though
@@JohnHausser the ones I had in Bangkok were, and the ones from my local Thai restaurant (run by a Thai family) are but you can ask for less spice usually.
The crunch on that papaya salad though!
Papaya salad is not for everyone. It’s super funky and fermented
@@JYLee-rr1symaybe you tried one with “pla ra” aka fermented fish? Papaya salad without pla ra usually tastes quite fresh
@@misooooo you’re right. It’s the fish sauce. I didn’t know papaya salad could be made without fish sauce

Thai fried chicken is supposed to be some of the best in the world, I need to try it one day! Thanks Ben for the consistent content 👊🏽
Food looks so good, almost makes me want to fly to Thailand just to eat that
Thai food is super good, a lot herbs, a lot of flavors.
The first dish is the most underrated dish. The flavor from pork and suace is just perfect. The best thing about that dish is fried-garlic!!
Wow, you've chosen such appetizing items, and the order in which you tried them is spot on. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video.
15:50 LOL that's how good the food is
I'm Thai and love the way you eat just normal but its so good to watch.
"I TELL YOU WHAT MAN" should be a T-shirt
This is my favorite culinary video ever.

OMG all this food looked so good.
Ive never seen him enjoy food more than this video(correct me if wrong), and being Thai, this made me so happy.❤

pad Thai and green curry are two of my favourite things in the world
Same here with addition of Tom Yum shrimp soup. Was mighty jelous watching this video 😂
Highly recommend you try Pad Kra Pao (Thai holy basil and pork) seriously so damn good!
I love papaya salad. Love at first bite. Glad you enjoyed the local flavors
I've always loved pad thai since the first time i tried it. What a banger

I was Waiting for this ! THAI food is the best . Please try Pad Thai See Ew pork or chicken as well before you leave 🤪 its Great

Man the food looks so good!
It was in this moment when Ben Deen realized he was living the dream. Mighty fine!🔥😎💯
Thai papaya salad is the spiciest thing I've ever eaten in my life.

I’m so envious of your first time w/Thai cuisine…particularly green curry….GREEN CURRY GANG REPRESENT
You know the food is hella bomb when you eat in silence like that! 😩😩😩
Been waitin' for this, and my man did not disappoint. Traditional Thai cuisine is 🔥!!

Well done ✅
That Thai food looks awesome and I am very hungry now. Nicccce
Thai food is just superior in general. Such specific flavours that I have never tasted in any other countries dishes.
It only cost $37? That is a great deal for all of that food. Looks amazing, too.
Papaya Salad of North eastern you get a mix of anchovy juice! You should try that on next one. Cheers, man!
I love that he won’t take the 5 seconds to see what he ordered. “Some type of “. Classic Benjamin
only tried pad thai but all that looks delicious
Omg that fooood looks amazing !! 😋😋 awesome as always beaute ❤❤
How has this guy almost never eaten Thai food before?

What Thai food taste like 😋😋😋🔥🔥🔥😌😌😌
You made me hungry! Looked great!
Ben going in like a ravenous beast on that food wooo...I'm worried for the food.😂😂 it looks scrumptious though.
ผมเป็นคนไทยผมจะบอกคุณว่า การกินผสมระหว่าง ผัดไทย กับ แกงต่างๆ มันจะอร่อยมาก
แต่เค้ากินผิดวิธีอยู่อย่างเดียวนเ คืออาหารไทย เราจะไม่ตักข้าวใส่ถ้วยแกง. มีแต่ตักแกง ใส่ถ้วยหรือจานบ้าว. แต่ยอมรับว่ากินได้น่าอร่อยมาก 😅😅
Now, you need to try their thai boat noodle and noodle soup dishes!
Love Thai food!🥘 ❤
You should travel to Malaysia next since it’s only on a neighbouring Thailand. The food there is not bad too.
I've been fasting on and off since new years, your videos keep fucking me up lol
Wish you could try also North and North eastern Thai food.. its different in a good way
The best in the world!!!

Welcome to S tier
even though i can't taste the food, Ben is telegraphing his emotions regarding the taste, perfectly. we're not alien yet...so no telepathy.

Papaya salad or som tum is a side dish, that’ll help you when you eating oily foods like pad thai or grilled chicken
thailand Thai food is different I think from overseas stuff. now I need to go there and eat!
Beautiful food but the view so nice
I used to make Thai red and Thai green curries all of the time.The Thai red ones are quite hot, but they are delicious.
Hats off to you for another awesome video, Ben! Oh, shoot-
It is supposed to be soupy like that.

Glad to see Ben is finally coming out of his shell and willing to try other foods besides pizzas and McDonald’s.
Papaya salad is my favorite food! Surprised Ben's never had it!
"I-I-I don't wanna say Earthy....but"...*goobles Pad Thai*
you've GOT to dry drunken noodles, spicy as hell and DELICIOUS!
Perfect for food like this
When eating Thai foods you gotta do the Mark Weins face 😂
You have to try *Pad Khing* while you're there. My favourite Thai stir-fry.
