Every since I went to Krabi for the first time Nong Joke (ร้านน้องโจ๊ก), has been one of my favorite restaurants. Ying, my wife, is originally from Krabi, and she’s the first one who introduced me to this restaurant during my first visit to Krabi with her back years ago. She said it was one of her long standing favorite restaurant to eat at when she was back home visiting Krabi.
Nong Joke (ร้านน้องโจ๊ก) was originally a small street food stall at a market in Krabi, but as they grew in popularity and became more well known throughout the small town, they eventually were able to buy a place and move to a permanent restaurant location. Now, the restaurant is run and managed by the son of the original owner, who is doing an excellent job at preserving the original flavors of southern Thai food in Krabi. If you’re looking for one of the best restaurants in Krabi that serves authentic southern Thai food, this is the place.
We started our meal in this video with khua kling moo (คั่วกลิ้งหมู), a southern Thai dry curry. This is one of the most complex versions of the dish that I’ve ever had, filled with all sorts of herbs and spices. The flavor was incredible. We then tried a dish called gaeng som pla krapong yawd ma prao (แกงส้มปลากะพงยอดมะพร้าว), one of the signature dishes at the restaurant, a dish of southern Thai yellow sour curry with fish and coconut shoots. It had incredible flavor, and was rich and thick from the spices, chilies, and turmeric.
P’Joke, the owner of the restaurant, and a friend of Ying, recommended we try the pla insee tod see ew (ปลาอินทรีทอดซีอิ๊ว), a piece of king mackerel deep fried and coated in a mixture of soy sauce seasoning. The fish was incredibly delicious. It was crispy on the edges, moist and tender on the outside, and the sauce was perfectly salty and fragrant. On this day I also had goong pad kapi sataw (กุ้งผัดกะปิสะตอ), fresh meaty shrimp stir fried with shrimp paste and also some tamarind sauce in the recipe. Finally we tried the nam prik goong siab (น้ำพริกกุ้งเสียบ), a popular southern Thai chili sauce made with dry shrimp.
This is just one of the many meals Ying and I have eaten at Nong Joke (ร้านน้องโจ๊ก) in Krabi, and just about everything we’ve tried has been excellent.
If you visit Krabi, this is one of the restaurants you have to try.

Thank you for watching!
His reaction when he eats food is what made me subscribe.
+GilesWestbrook7 same here :) it makes you feel that you are trying the food too :)
+GilesWestbrook7 Yeah, it's like food orgasms. It makes me jealous of every bite, because I love food just as much lol!
+GilesWestbrook7 His love for chili, his big bites, passion for food and his aura are what keeps me tuned in. Nice guy.
Same
Me too! It never gets old!
new subscriber here - I've watched all your videos in a span of like 2 days! Your attitude and passion are infectious, and your unique style when it comes to critiquing/describing different dishes is one of a kind!
+Zorix Zoff Thank you very much Zorix
I steered my sister and brother in law to this restaurant today - they are in Thailand on honeymoon and for the last couple of days were in Krabi town. They had the dry curry and stink beans and a few other dishes and LOVED it from the photos they sent me! They even did a Mark Wiens impression photo!
ANNOUNCEMENT: Brand new Japan video series (mostly Osaka and Kyoto) starting on Wednesday - stay tuned!
Yes finally so excited for the food
+Mark Wiens so excited to hear that! looking forward to seeing your videos on Kansai, especially Kyoto (thats where I live )
Your Instagram photos are always making me hungry haha. I can't wait! :)
+Mark Wiens so you are in Japan now Mark?
+Mark Wiens Arigato
Being that your wife is from Thailand, I would love to hear/see her opinion of the restaurants you go to while still there. It's always nice to hear from someone who knows there homeland well enough to tell you what's good and what's not. Also, thanks for another great video Mark. I do a lot of traveling, but you make me want to do more. So thank you for that. :)
Its a joy to see Mark delighted with his and Yings favorite foods. I have come to gauge how delighted Mark is by the degree of tilt of the head to the right.
Just visited Nong Joke a week ago. Nong Joke now has English version menu book. We order 7 kind of Southern Thai style dishes. Tasty and excellent, especially 'sataw' .. yummy. I will visit this resto again whenever I visit Krabi. Thanks Mark
After all these years of watching you I finally took the time to check out your blog (sorry it took so long!) and I like that you encourage people (big thumbs up!) but I dont think that people appreciate a talent that you have which is a HUGE part of your success and which you are VERY modest about (as in - you dont seem mention it anywhere) - you are an excellent hybrid food photographer (still and video). Its clear from watching your early videos and then going forward how much hard work you have put into learning photography, videography and sound capture. These can be difficult learning curves for many people... you make it look easy!
Mark, a huge heartfelt thank you for the fantastic job you are doing showcasing these food gems around asia. I've just returned from a 2 month trip around SE Asia with friends, where we used your videos as our guide, and each cafe, hole-in-the wall and street stall exceeded every expectation. Looking forward to your Japan series. Bon apetite!
Hey Mark I wish you had the time to load more videos! I'm addicted to your videos and your reaction to food. Awesome! Keep them coming😊
Unique delivery, the honesty of the presenter really shines through along with the genuine interest he has in the topic. Nice, i like it. *Worthy !* (And thats rare these days ;)
When Mark does his 'Mark-Wave', you better believe the food is good😀
+EMBAR93 Yeah, and his varying degrees of the wave indicate how many stars other people would give the food.
+EMBAR93 haha i agree. the longer the drift and the longer the eyes stay closed = indication of how good food really is
he does it a bit too often though..
+EMBAR93 Mark-Waves hehe.. a little Stevie Wonder is in it too! Neverless it makes him sympathic!

You been doing a great job mark, i really like your video and keep it up man!
Mark, I've been following you since I stumbled upon the creamy mango ice cream you had in India (I'm dying to have some!!) I immediately subscribed when I saw that you had several videos of food in Vietnam. My family are from Vietnam, but I've since been away from them, and I don't know much about the food culture there- only the Viet food culture here in the states (pho...spring rolls, all the general stuff).
Thank you for diversifying my knowledge on more region's food and culture. It's been incredible watching your videos, and I always look forward to seeing you upload a new one on TH-cam. Thank you, and keep it up!!
I love how much joy you get from food i love watching your channel and especially love the thailand content,i have travelled to thailand four times with my fam and would love to visit again and visit some more places i have seen on your channel.this year we done bangkok and koh chang and visited a few places you recommended.keep up the great work.lots of love from australia
I have eaten a lot of variety vegetables in my life, pretty much all the Asian ones as well, but, there are number of vegetables that Mark eats which I had never seen before! I am looking forward to try those! This is why the Thai people are healthier than most of us Americans.
Another fantastic video Mark . I've never seen anyone enjoy their food like you 😃
My wife and I will be in Krabi over new years break .CAN'T WAIT . Cheers mate
I just love your videos! Thank you so much for continuing to make me smile!
Thai food is one of my favorites. I especially like spicy. I can taste everything you eat. You make it a pleasurable experience.
great watching mark....you are inspiring my wife and i
What I like about thai food are they use a lot of different spices, marvelous
An absolutely stunning video once again mark!
Mark and Ying, Oh how sweet a story about Ying. Oh the peppercorns, they look yummy! That was quite a feast and all dishes were different. Never had stink beans. Now I will have to try. TFS :)
