Terrible Start in Phuket Thailand 🤢 Worst Travel Nightmare Comes True
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มิ.ย. 2024
- We've moved to Phuket, Thailand and unfortunately we got food poisoning and have been sick. With a combination of bad weather and getting sick we're having a rough start in Phuket.
In this video we're finally getting out again after being sick for awhile and staying home from food poisoning.
We head to Yanui Beach in Rawai (the town we're staying). We take a walk along the beautiful beach and eventually head up the road to Cape Phrom Thep where there are some shrines and monuments.
Later we head back to our apartment and the rooftop pool at our building (a full apartment tour was in the last video).

If you guys have an opportunity try to visit "Krabi" which offers you guy cheaper cost and fewer travelers but also a beautiful beach
Sorry to hear you both got sick from food poisoning. Really hope you will be fine and never get sick again (at least while staying here in Thailand) Enjoy your stay in Phuket and don't forget to share your happiness!!!
🙏
Glad you’re on the mend! Great video as always- I always look forward to seeing your new videos 🤗
Thankfully it seems like you are over the worst of the food poisoning and glad you are so upbeat about it. Having followed a vlogger who has lived in Thailand for many years I believe charcoal tablets/capsules that you can get from the pharmacy are highly recommended. Hope you continue to recover over the next few days. Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas and thank you for your wonderful coverage of the world in 2022.
Feel better guys!!! Glad you're starting to feel better. That beach was beautiful.
Thanks so much! We're definitely feeling a lot better since filming 🤗 - Anna
Aww srry for the contrast you’ve had lately with sickness + rainy weather! Now you will have FULL appreciation for your good health, sometimes we need to be sick to raise our perspective and see how lucky we are!! ( rather than being focused on little unwanted things) we can let the little stuff go and feel grateful for our restored health 💜
It’s always rainy season on Vancouver Island in Nov. but we noticed the rainy spring season lasted MUCH longer than usual this year, so it seems that seasons are shifting in places
We are behind on videos!!
Thank you for sticking it out and showing us around, we know you were really feeling terrible!!!! I know you wish that ginger drink was a craft beer! Great video guys ~Cara 🥰
haha so true on the 🍺 We're feeling 100% again now ...woohoo! - Trevor
Looks so beautiful! Have a wonderful Christmas and hope you’re fully recovered! Katie
Merry Xmas! 🤗 - Anna
Oh no I’m so sorry you both are sick 🥲 I hope that you recover quickly and can enjoy the rest of your journey in Thailand.
We're back to 100% now Angie 🤗 - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers glad to hear that Anna.
nice to hear from you. missed your posts. hope your feeling better. I can relate.IBS for me, not enjoyable, makes travel schetty, as always thank you and enjoy exploring🙏
You guys can get better fast! Just do it! Be Well! and welcome to the land of million smiles, cant wait to see your Thailand explore series. Sawasdee.
Well, that really sucks that you both got sick! Anna, I definitely understand the fears you had with Crohn's disease and getting food poisoning. My daughter has Crohn's and has fortunately been in remission for the last couple years, thanks to some amazing medications. Good to hear that you're feeling better. Cheers from Bangkok :)
We're feeling so much better thank you so much 🤗 So far so good with Crohn's and Travel - Anna
Glad you are on the upswing!
Marie
I hope you guys feel better!!
🙏
Hope you feel better! We had a fortnight in Corfu and were ill for several days. As you said when it’s days out of your relatively short stay in a place it really sucks.
So appreciate you watching! - Anna
Hope you're on the mend guys ! I feel your pain. 😣🤗
We're feeling better now thank you! 😀 - Trevor
Sorry to hear. It will get better. Enjoy your time in Phuket. Loved Thailand but have not been in Phuket!
I am so sorry you have been ill, Merry Xmas and sending you healing xx
Omg I’m sorry you guys got sick to stomach.I bring Imodium bc my stomach gets upset easy. I just got back from London after 6 days there. The first night I got diarrhea from greasy food .I took Imodium it helped. I’m home now with bad head cold on the 5th day but luckily it happened after we got back. Had an amazing time in London saw lots of castles and walked a lot. Snowed in London so that was amazing. You guys stay safe and well. Thanks for bringing us along your amazing journey… Happy holidays to everyone…❤️
Aw guys, don’t think I’ve known you to be sick in all the years I’ve watched you. As I watch this it’s 23 Dec and I know from IG that you’re now fine 👏 so Happy Festive season and happy birthday Anna! Still miss those Christmas cooking videos! 😂😘
Who knew there was KD in Thailand??? Hope you both are feeling better now. Merry Christmas to you both and can’t wait to catch your adventures in 2023!
KD to the rescue right! We have been living off it lately 😉 Merry Xmas Janice! - Trevor
First time here. Good stuff guys and glad you’re feeling better.
Welcome aboard you guys! Feeling so much better now
@@DelightfulTravellers Always good to see how other people approach this craft. You guys have a good approach and tag team thing going on with the dialogue. Makes for good study.
Bummer🫣 Hope you feel better soon! Gorgeous pool! Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you! 🤗
Get well soon, so you can resume bringing brightness and delight into our lives.🥰✌️
Thank you! - Anna
Hi Trevor and Anna. Thanks for your great Vlogs of Thailand!!! I have watched hundreds of Vlogs on TH-cam about Thailand. I am extremely interested in your exploration of Rawai and surroundings. I just came back from Phuket myself, I was there for 3 weeks from Nov 22 to Dec 15. I was based in Patong but rented a scooter for the whole duration and visited from Surin down to Rawai and Chalong Bay. Patong was OK as a base for the first time, but it is really an overcrowded, run down, dirty, stinky and ugly city filled with vendors that harass you every 5 minutes. Almost everything on the coast away from Patong is nice. My choice of beaches are #1 Yanui, #2 Nai Harn, #3 Surin. Which is why I liked your video so much, I agree that Yanui is wonderful. Snorkeling around the rocks is great!
Rawai is less crowded than most other beach areas, has more greenery, and is conveniently located. Plus it is exposed to winds from almost all directions if you are a little uphill. Comparatively Patong gets winds only from the west as it is surrounded by hills that block winds from other directions. From Rawai, the access to Chalong bay is convenient because that's where fish arrives fresh every day, and the Chalong pier is where the ferries leave to islands like Phi Phi or even Krabi. And Big Budha is right there too. It is free to visit and the views are incredible from there on top of the hill. You are also close to Phuket Town which is great for Mall shopping and the Sunday night market.
I want to warn you about the day excursions ($50 to $75, negotiable like everything else) to the islands like Phi Phi, Maya Bay and others. It is extremely commercialized. They take you to atolls where they sell booze or to the shops in Phi Phi. On these trips, the places to swim or snorkel are very limited and polluted due to the number of tourists and the way they have it organized like a racket. But it is good to get a situation on where places are. My idea is to find someone who has a smaller but good size boat to take me to uncrowded islands or beaches once a week. That's because I want to move to Thailand and live in Rawai. And I will need to fill the days with beach, snorkeling, sea trips and all. The Adaman sea is amazing by the way! So many islands and clear waters.
I should be back to Rawai in March 2023 for a month. Then I need to spend months selling everything in my house, then the house itself, and applying for retirement residency. Life in the USA has become miserable, with everything failing. This country is going down fast and life is not affordable here if you want to enjoy it, unless you are rich. I have a good income but spending half of it before spending for myself is not good (taxes, insurances, etc). I guess it is the same with EU, Canada, Australia, etc going down the drain too. South Eastern Asia on the other hand is going up.
Regarding your food poisoning, it can happen anywhere. Hell, I god sick a few times in the US with bad food, especially seafood that they keep on the shelves for a couple of days. In supermarkets I ask if fish is fresh and they say yes, it is fresh frozen (not my idea of fresh). Watch what people cook with fish in Thailand, they sometimes use fish liver and other stuff that doesn't keep well or has too many germs. I never get sick on chicken on a stick! Or with fish that is alive before they cook it.
I am glad you like the Ginger Ale in the red cans (available at all 711 and Big C). I use it mixed with whisky. At home in the US, I drink Canadian Crown Royal (hey!) mixed with Canada Dry ginger ale (hey!) and a bit of ginger beer for kick. A dash of your ginger potion (which is probably meant to me mixed with a main drink rather than on its own) would be great instead of Ginger beer!
Regarding driving a scooter, they are easy to maneuver, but you really need to learn how to drive like Thai people. They have a system and it works although at first glance it looks chaotic. I got plenty of advice from a Thai person and it helped tremendously. Don't pass on the left, don't speed, drive defensively and watch all around you. Most accidents are with irresponsible tourists. Alcohol and drugs don't help. My rule is if I drink a beer I take a tuk-tuk. If you see someones speeding like a mad person especially without a helmet it is probably a tourist.
Rules to be legal driving a scooter: Carry your home country driver's license for motorbike (not only for car) as the scooters are 125cc and up (I recommend 150cc minimum, Hondas are the best at 300-350 Bahts per day); do carry an international permit for motorcycle which AAA can provide for $20; do always wear a helmet; do not carry an ATM card or a large amount of cash. If you follow these rules the risk of being ticketed (bribed) by a policeman is low. You will be stopped at the many police checkpoints. Interestingly if you are Thai or you carry a Thai passenger you will never be ticketed. But I do highly recommend driving a scooter and not a car as it is enjoyable to be free to go anywhere you want and taxis or Tuk Tuks are very expensive. Cars are difficult to park and the liability is high. Oh and forget insurance in Thailand, almost impossible to find and too many scams. Pay with your credit card as most of them provide collision insurance. Some rental places take only cash; avoid them. It is probably also better to give a security deposit rather than your passport. Alternatively, I carry 2 passports from different nationalities so I can always give them the one I didn't use for entry into Thailand.
Last words, I am looking for a place to stay in March and I think I know where your apartment building is, probably one of the gray buildings on the 4030 between the lake and Rawai Beach on the hill. I would appreciate if you can let me know. I can send you an email if you prefer. My TH-cam channel is: Retired Al Fixall by the way...
Enjoy Rawai!
Wow such a long and great comment. Thanks for all of this info Al. The link to our condo is in the previous video (in the description) - Trevor
5:24 here in penang it's the same. November until February is the monsoon season that mainly affected the east coast of Malaysia. penang on the west coast was usually dry in that same period but this year it's been raining almost everyday.
Hope you feeling better soon🇨🇦👍🎄
Thanks Annie! - Trevor
Glad you are feeling better. Getting ready for a big storm here. (Nova Scotia)
Much better now! - Trevor
Hey! Thank you for this mid-week vid, and for keeping it real! I'm happy you have dodged this for so long, especially after having lived in the DR for so long! When I lived there they would give Gravol injections that would fix any ailment in a few minutes! Lol. But no tips from me, keep staying hydrated, electrolytes and Gatorade helps, dry foods, no sauces, no alcohol, etc. and you'll be fine! Take care 😉😎 PS. Big storm coming from BC to hit Ontario tomorrow, so enjoy that great weather and pool for us !!
We've been quite lucky with our travels and not getting sick. We hope that keeps up! haha 🤗 Thanks for watching Jiji - Anna
sorry to hear you got sick and hope you speedy recovery. nai harn beach is absolutely my favourite and I proposed to my wife here. enjoy phuket both!
also as a thai here. grab yourself a package of activated carbon available at most convenient stores and drug store. they are supposed to absorb the toxins that make you sick.
I was in Thailand for three weeks and just left Phuket a few days ago. The weather as you described was unusually rainy and overcast. Not a lot to do in a place like Koh Samui when the weather is bad. You should check out Maybell's Coffee Garden they are not far from where you are staying and serve the best breakfast in Phuket. They are also vloggers. I was afraid of getting sick on this trip and for the first time in my life took the flu shot. Fortunately I did not have stomach issues. I highly recommend the scuba diving. I am 65 have not scuba dived in 40 years and had no issues.
The only time I ever got food poisoning was in Thailand 🇹🇭. I have a strong stomach but wow careful what you eat. I'm glad you are both better. Love the channel ❤️.
Sorry you've had food poisoning, it's absolutely awful. We have one Doug the rounds in our valley and I've never been so ill. It does take a while for things to settle down. Just bland food needed, stay very hydrated. Take good care and feel yourself soon. Greetings from a very balmy Cape Town.
We're back at 100% now! Thanks Wendy 🤗
I'm jealous of the ginger "drink." I've made my own and added it to yogurt with some honey for a fruit dip.
Enjoy the rest of your time there!
I have been just the same! 24 after I arrived I got food poisoning as well, knocked me off my feet. I had eaten 3 of those pork lollipops and some mango sticky rice. Then I was thinking how long it had been sitting outside. Rice is actually the worst thing for food poisoning. I haven’t been able to eat Street food since. Hope you feel better
So sorry you got sick! Merry Christmas Trevor and Anna! My upset stomach tips: I lay on the floor and complain incessantly. Eventually time passes and I recover. Might be only a correlation 🤣🤣
haha that's what we should be doing. Merry Xmas guys! 🤗
Hiring a scooter is a must in Thailand! Maybe not in Bangkok but definitely in the islands, especially when vlogging cause you could literally get lost and end up making the most amazing videos ever! I'd definitely advice getting Scooter's 👌🏼👌🏼
Love Phuket.The local people are the most helpful and friendly with good attitude towards tourists . Be kind to them and they will be very helpful to you.
If you have to travel while sick I have had great success with Imodium tablets. I once had amoebic dysentery in India and had to leave the country in a few days because of my visa ending. I had to go by train from Dehli to Calcutta to get my flight to Bangkok. 33 hours on a train and the Imodium worked a charm. Happy Travels
No amount of Imodium was fixing this hahaha 😅 - Trevor
I hope you guys feel better by now. The Dom Rep. misses you.
Get well soon ka 🎉 ❤from Thai friend.
Hi Anna and Trever. Sorry that you guys got sick 😞. We hope you both feel better. God Bless 🙏🏻❤️
We're on the mend now don't worry! - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers Charcoal tablets are the best solution for food poisoning. Research for it.
@@DelightfulTravellers 🙏🏻❤️
I hope you get well soon, one thing you can try is charcoal pills, they sell if over the counter in Thailand in any pharmacy and it works wonders with any kind of stomach ailment. Good luck, love your videos
Noted! - Trevor
I second that suggestion. I usually take charcoal alternating with Biocidin. Although you might not be able to pick that up as easily while traveling. Make sure to take charcoal 1-2 hours after any supplements or meals that you want the nutrients from. It really cleans things up!
ขอบคุณที่คุณหายจากอาการป่วย ขอให้คุณโชคดี เที่ยวและพักผ่อนให้สนุก ประเทศไทยยินดีต้อนรับค่ะ
🤗
Trevor and Anna I hope the rest of your stay in Thailand is more peaceful and healthy. It truly s@@@s to feel sick while you’re traveling. Take care of each other
🙏
At that place is the best place for sunset viewing. You going to love it.
We love it here! 🤗 - Anna
Been there, done that ,guys and also in SE Asia… Thai trots and Philippine poops. Culprit is always badly prepared salad with unfiltered water. So I only eat cooked food and fruit that must be peeled. Hope you feel better soon. Cheers, Dan 🥺✌️🇨🇦
We've been avoiding salad daily now. No more of that! - Anna
Yes I had the same problem with the salad . I believe the wash the lettuce with un filtered water. So avoid salads.
I’m really sorry to hear that.Please get well soon.
Hi guys, don’t listen to the nay sayers ie the ones who say you complain. I cannot understand why people have to be negative, just enjoy watching these delightful videos and appreciate them. Merry Christmas
So appreciate that Susanne 🙏 - Trevor
You were at the most spectacular place to see the sunset in Phuket, Laem Prom Tep.
Food poisoning sucks. Glad you’re on the mend. You guys are hilarious though. Really keeping things real! Just remember to hydrate. Eat soup or just broth until you feel better. Remember you body can survive for days without food, but not without water.
I had the same experience as yours. After eating pizza, I got sick in the evening. This was happened to me many years in Phuket.
Ugh it hasn't been a fun week that's for sure - Trevor
Wow - nice to see Phuket again. Stayed there 40+ years ago when it had a few hotels. Lime Juice will greatly help.
It changed too much and by far not the same beauty anymore.
ตอนนี้ภาคใต้เป็นฤดูฝนเสียใจด้วยที่อาหารเป็นพิษคุณต้องทานอาหารร้อนๆสุกใหม่ไม่ทานรสจัดเพราะกระเพาะคุณไม่คุนเคยอาหารรสจัดของไทยกินเกลือแร่ & สไบร์ เดี๋ยวก็ดีขึ้นขอให้หายไวๆนะค่ะ
It's not rainy season here. If you ask any local in the south they will tell you this weather is not at all normal - Anna
Hi! I'm Thai. I'd like to tell you that even rainy season in other parts of Thailand stopped on November but peak period of rainy season in South of Thailand started from November until December. I write this message to you on Dec. 23 and weather forecast in Thailand reported that next week heavy rain will be happened again in South of Thailand. That's it.
Thanks!
Hi Shareon... thank you so much for the 'Super Thanks'! 🙏 We really appreciate the support - Anna & Trevor
I usually get travel sickness in the DR…probably from fruit washed in water. Luckily it’s never bad but annoying nonetheless. I guess I’m just a weak immune system westerner after all. Lol glad you guys are doing better! Thailand is beautiful ❤
Hey Matty! In the DR it's the eggs that get us. They are processed differently in the US and Canada. So watch out for those haha 😅 (after a month or so there our stomachs got used to them though) - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers ohh I never knew that. That’s probably what it is! I love my desayuno Domincano though! 🍳🥚
หายเร็วๆนะคะ
🙏
ขอให้พวกคุณหายไวๆ และปลอดภัยในทริปภาคใต้,👍👍👍
sorry you guys went through that... I find ginger ale, 7-up (not sprite) seems to help; cheers!!
The ginger all definitely helped but it was a rough week Taki phew - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers glad it's in the past now...good times ahead!!
🙋🤗 👩❤️👨วิว-ทะเล สวยงามมาก☺️🥰🥰
You poor things. But as you say, these things happen. Glad you are on the mend. Dry biscuits, and small sips of fluids. Have a very merry Christmas and get 100% again. Safe travels
Things happen indeed. All good, it's part of travel 😀 - Trevor
Sorry to hear that. I hope you fully recover soon.
Denarora Colorful Campfire🌈🔥
Feeling much better now! woohoo - Trevor
I hope you're feeling better. When I got sick on a cruise, I ate boiled rice, rice cereal, jello and bananas for 24 hours. Make sure you drink a lot of fluids.
Oh we're on all the water! hehe - Anna
OMGOSH IT IS BEAUTIFUL 🤩
ขอให้พวกคุณทั้งสองดีขึ้นไวๆนะคะ จะได้ออกเที่ยวเดินทางอย่างสนุกต่อไป ☺
Weren't you guys supposed to stay in Greece for 3 months..
I must've missed a video saying you guys were moving again lol..
Love your insights on all aspects of your stays
We stayed the full 90 days in Europe and about 60ish days in Greece 👍
Get well soon
🤗
Glad your feeling better. Before my daughter and I traveled to Cuba we took the vaccine Dukerol (I think thats how you spell it), its for stomach issues and diarrhea. It really works good. Check with a pharmacy there, this does not have to be prescribed and it comes in 2 vials that you drink. Merry Christmas and all the best. Take care.
Phuket is an amazing province. There are many tourist attractions and many local dishes. I recommend you to rent a motorbike if you want to travel to places within a short distance.Glad you are safe.Have fun 👍
🍻
Wish Anna better soon .
I am American living in Thailand, I stay away from street food personally and research any place I eat before going. Charcoal pills help. Sorry to hear you got sick. If on the road I only use cars never motor bikes. Just safer.
I know exactly what franchise you went too. You are not the first ones to get sick there. One place I stay away from. Yes, the seasons are changing, you can just look to N.S. as an example. All the beautiful warm days we get into late fall. This year, people were still in the water at Hubbards Beach in November.
If you mix the ginger with orange juice and ginger ale or 7up it’s good. Get better soon 😊❤
Noted! haha - Trevor
Climate on the south peninsular is different from the inland up north. You better check the weather specific on the south or down to weather forecast in Malaysia would be closer in accuracy. In my opinion the best time to see south sea of Thailand is in Thai summer around March - May not Thai cool season ( end of the year) nor Western summer ( July - September).
It's not supposed to be rainy season right now ha - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers Southern of Thailand got heavy rain "every year" around this time. I'm Thai I know that.
"Yaa Thaat Naam Khao Tra Kratai Bin" is the best in every situation about food. 👍
🤗
So sorry you are sick! ugh. always remember the BRAT diet when stomach sick: Bananas Rice Applesauce and Toast. soothing for your stomach and I would make the ginger juice into hot tea just mix it with hot water. Also could add fresh mint but mint tea is a must as well. NO dairy yet until you get on your feet again and only then, do a probiotic yogurt to restablish gut flora. the coconut might have been ok to rehydrate yourself as that is your biggest concern after a long bout like this. your body is depleted and will need high rehydration: no alcohol and sodas! you can also find the ginger candy to suck on when feeling bad and out and about; its a lifesaver for me
Yes 100% … we’re feeling much better now! - Trevor
Welcome guys. I've been living in Phuket for the last 12 years. You should book a few days in Koh Lipe. Best island in thailand. And dont be scared of the bikes, Just take it easy.
Thanks for watching Jon! - Trevor
Happened to my partner in Bangkok, straight to the Pharmacy and the drugs supplied fixed him in hours. What you can be supplied with over the counter would be prescription only in mots countries
Hi Trevor and Anna 🙂
Sorry you two got sick. When you get sick in Thailand, go to a pharmacy and tell them your symptoms and they will sort you out. When I got food poisoning, they recommended charcoal tabs and that did the trick.
Be careful when buying bottled water on the street, make sure it is sealed.
It is doubtful you got it from icecubes. Restaurants and know if they use unpurified ice, pretty much everyone will get sick.
Now, back to your normal fun stuff.
Had a similar experience in Krabi from rack of lamb at a resort.
I try and eat food at busy spots that locals go to
Us too... this is a first!
@@DelightfulTravellers actually at Pearson enroute to Bangkok.
Will be in Trang Province most of the time, and will travel to Hat Yai as well - best fried chicken in Thailand 😎🤘
As Thai try avoid oyster and raw shrimp because it's like you buy a lottery some bacteria that make you sick will still inside it even you good clean while prepare meal it's still inside it. But it still yummy to risk too.
You should go to 7/11 or Boots and buy activated charcoal for your tummy issue. It works great. If you remain ill for a few more days you should get an antibiotic like Cipro
Thanks for letting us know - Anna
Hi guys good you did not rent a scooter or any motorcycle, here 2 people die at night on a scooter, i have been living in Thailand for 4 years now and its unreal how many deadly accidents i have seen every day, hope you get well better, at home with food poisoning😅👍
Coconut water would be perfect for hydration and stomach issues
Hard to say... a lot say the opposite when it comes to coconuts - Trevor
Hey. I know tons of people that got typhoid to hepatitis to plain stomach trouble due to ice.
Your buddies @Jumping Places turned me on to activated charcoal. It doesn't cure it, but it sure makes you feel better.
I'm not sure Charcoal would have done much this time around sadly. It was bad 😬 - Trevor
Hi both sad to hear about the food poisoning. Are you protected by Dukoral?
Thanks.. no dukoral over here - Trevor
Name of the beach again? Hope you all feel better
Oh nooo 😬 yikes…both of you at the same time needing to use the toilet…awe…I feel for you 🤗
It wasn't fun haha - Anna
We've been to Thailand several times and we're still really careful about not drinking tap water, using bottled water to brush our teeth, not using ice or eating things that aren't freshly cooked (like fresh vegetables or fruit (that we don't peel ourselves). Even though it is a popular vacation area and has nice restaurants, we're not used to the microbes. So far, we haven't gotten sick (knock on wood). In the states, there is something you can buy to take before you're going to eat that binds to the food so you don't get sick. Can't remember the name bur I can get it, if you want.
We stay away from all tap water and don’t brush our teeth with it either. Pretty sure it’s from the salad we ate 😬 - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers it probably was. We were just in Thailand and we didn't eat any fresh vegetables when we were there. I was dying for a salad when we came home!
Hey did you ever find out the medication you can get from the states?
Never really a fan of Phuket to be honest , especially around the Patong Area , maybe the rest is nice , ive done the James bond Island tour which was great , but felt it was too much hussle in Patong . granted id love to see the freedom beach and a few places .... maybe next time ill give it a go
Hi Guys, Stumbled upon your channel by accident, Nice videos. I've been living in Thailand for close to 20 years now, and the moment i heard you got food poisoning i couldn't help but grin a bit.... It's quite common and i get it once or twice a year.... ranging from bad kebab to spoiled fish, it's one of the things you will get used to, and will kind of grow resistance to....
When i heard you say PIZZA place, i recognized it. I get it EVERY time i eat pizza as soon as there's mushrooms on them..... and it's pretty instant, 3-4 hours after consuming it..... So... where there mushrooms on your pizza? if so, try avoid them next time....
I'm a bit thrown off by the title of this video and the text "This Sucks!". Worst Nightmares come true... I expected tood poisoning, broken legs from accidents, robberies and burglaries and lots of other things. So all you got was food poisoning? If that's the worst travel nightmare come true you're gonna be in for a hell of a ride.....
Anyway, just wanted to leave you guys a quick comment and wish you good luck!
Thanks Bert and welcome aboard. There’s was no mushrooms on the pizza haha. We’re pretty sure it was the salad but either way we are feeling better now! It was a bad one though - Trevor
The amount of time you guys eat out is considerable so I was surprised that I had never heard of you getting food poisoned. I'm vegan now but when I went to Thailand and a couple of other Asian countries- I was vegetarian- and one of the important things for me is not to have street food ... I do usually give you a like in your street food videos only to support you but..to be honest...I never find it enjoyable because I never will have street food..so afraid of getting sick while I'm abroad ;)
I advise you to gradually Try a variety of non-spicy or strong-flavored foods. Take it slow and try it on a new day. The taste of Thai food is intense in the stomach.😊 ❤
There are something you need learn about food and beverage in Thailand.
1. Spicy food + fruit juice. = toilet
2. Spicy food + fresh milk, coffee/milk, tea/milk. = toilet
3. Some fruits(durian) + beer, Alcohols = toilet, hospital
4. Most of Thai's dishes were base on Asian herbs which might effect for the westerner.
5. Your body will get used to it. not just the food but the heat, weather, smells and people.
6. Welcome home ! Wish you will enjoy living in Thailand.
We didn't get food poisoning from Thai food. It was from a Pizza place (a salad) We eat Thai food all the time and always eat spicy food in our home country and others fyi
I got food poisoning when I was in Pattaya Thailand also after I ate seafood. I wanted to go to the emergency room, but the local man said the hospital will not do much for me, so I did not go. Then the local Thai man went to the pharmacy and bought the medicine for food poisoning. After I took the medicine for about a minute, I threw up and I felt much better afterward.
