I visited Thailand in 2023 from Bangladesh, and my first target was to try their food. I thought I could easily handle the spices since I am from a country where spicy food is very common. But sadly, when I got the first bite, oh man! I felt like my soul was trying to escape from my body! It was pretty bad, actually! My whole face became red, and I couldn’t even talk properly, although the flavours and taste of the food were amazing!! Anyway, I have to say that you handled the spices really well! Kudos to you!
Haha I've heard a lot of people say this. What I think is that Thai chili is a very "different" spice from any other. My theory is that regardless of where you're from and how used to your usual "spice", when you first have Thai spice it'll be like having spice for the first time. If fact, my Thai wife is Thai and can really handle Thai spice. Yet, I brought her to America and she thought all the new Mexican spices were super intense. So I think my Theory works in both directions. Either way, I primarily eat and cook Asian cuisine when I'm home and I think I've been exposed to tons of spice through the years now so I think my tolerance is super high now. Glad you are okay and could still enjoy the food! Haha!
@@WhereisBrad Your theory is 100% correct. It’s true that regardless of where you’re from and how spicy food you can handle, eating spicy food in foreign countries feels like starting from square one!
I also am watching Mark Wien and TravelwithChris food videos too. Glad to know your video. Am I able to handle all his spicy food? Greetings from Canada.
The looks delicious Brad. Will always support your channel. Thank you by the way for taking the time to comment back sharing your TH-cam channel with my friends. ❤
You definitely should, I’ve done 3 different times in different cities lol! So much fun. My plan was to learn so I can make my own, but now I have a Thai wife who cook Thai food every day lol.
Ate there 3 times. Arrived just as the restaurant opened at each time, but still took the kitchen 40 minutes to push out a dish that should not take more than 3 minutes to complete. I cook this a home every time. The egg is probably the best I've ever tasted so far in Thailand. Crisp edges, garlicky taste. Overall, I'd rate a strong 7.
Awesome Brad. Discovered your channel from Chris. The Pad Kaprow looked awesome and while the price is more expensive for Thai standards, it’s pretty reasonable for someone from the States. I’m actually Thai and will be traveling to BKK in mid August for a 2 week vacation. Hopefully I can check it out. By the way, Ekamai is pronounced “Eh-Kuh-My”
Thanks! Chris is the man! Haha ya I agree completely! More expensive yet reasonable for USA standards. Definitely check it out and share your opinion compared to other Kaprows! Thanks for the pronunciation correction! I'm saying it out loud to myself right now to try to commit this to memory lol. Please always correct me so I can become a better Thai man too!
Number 3 is really all that is needed. It's similar to what you would find at any given street cart. Any higher and it just burns and loses flavour of the protein. You can always add some extra chilli yourself. Also drink milk because water just makes it worse.
Haha I agree. After 3,4,5 it doesn’t get that much more flavorful… but I had to try at least one time!! Either way, I’m glad I could handle and still enjoyed it!
Hahaha, so my plan was this. Go eat this, return to my room, pray that I can "release" within the next hour or so. I had a bunch of stuff planned later that day. Well, I wasn't able to do that business and proceeded with my day... worried and scared. But I was okay! haha no accidents happened that day!
There's 2 different type of yellow flags with the thai flag everywhere in thaiilland, 1 represents the WAT/temple and 1 represents KINnG I think if I correct, ❤🇦🇺 🙏
Haha do you still like it?? I feel like the difference from 0 to 1 chili is massive. But the difference from 1 to 2 is more subtle. And so on. But I always like very spicy! I only avoid for flights, or when I need to be far from a toilet lol.😂
Haha these are Knoxville XL made by Electric. I love these because they are comfortable on my large head lol. I’ve lost pairs of these many times, this is prob my 7th or 8th pair over the years lol
Ya… I get Kaprow pretty regularly in all parts of Thailand. And usually it’s like 60 or even 30-40 baht in baan nok. But I know I had to try Marks restaurant at least once!
I know what you mean… people usually cover their face or make it known when they don’t want to be recorded. But I actually talked with a bunch of them after I ended the video and they were excited to be in the background. The people to my right were super excited and we talked a ton. The ones behind me were super friendly but not amazing English. I’m confident I didn’t film anyone who didn’t want to be filmed
E ka me? Where are you Mexico ?Japan? Learn how to pronounce the name correctly man. Or at least try to pronounce as close as possible. You put that much effort to eat the spicy food at least you can do is say the name right.
Sorry about that. Sometimes I can’t figure out how to say things as I jump around different countries, languages, cultures etc. I did try to pronounce it as close as I could, but it’s hard to know when I’m doing it right or wrong. Sometimes there’s multiple ways to say it or multiple spellings too lol. But to help, I mention that I’m in Bangkok Thailand, at 0:27. I also put the country and city on screen at the beginning. It’s also in the title of the video, and the description. Hope that helps

Phed Mark!! We got level 3 and 4 and it was perfect for us. Btw, what time and day did you go? Surprised there’s no line . Great video! 👍
Nice!!! So delicious! I went on a Saturday around lunch time... like 12:30pm. Haha ya I guess I got lucky?!
@@WhereisBrad Yes you did get lucky! Lol 😆 How long are you staying in Bangkok?
I also am watching Mark Wien and TravelwithChris food videos too. Glad to know your video. Am I able to handle all his spicy food? Greetings from Canada.
Awesome Video bud. Hi from Maine ! I love spicy so I’d be getting #5 as well! You and Chris make me want to get to Thailand YESTERDAY
Haha hell ya!!! Book a ticket now for 6 months from now. Then just forget about it. When the trip is coming up you’ll figure out the rest 🙏🥰
The looks delicious Brad. Will always support your channel. Thank you by the way for taking the time to comment back sharing your TH-cam channel with my friends. ❤
It was so bomb! I’m going to go back and try to Wagyu next! Sounds so good!
Thanks so much! You’re a true supported!! 🙏🙏🙏
I'd love to take a Tai cooking class! 😋
Love your content, Brad! 🫶

Nice, that’s the best rating I’ve heard so far!! Feels spot on!!
Wow Brad I'm impressed you can handle spice really welll!!! I would prob go for lvl 4 if i'm there
Thank you! It was definitely spicy, but omg sooo delicious! Next time I really want to try the Wagyu!
Once again great video Brad ... love all ur videos ..still waiting for some Gold stores in Chinatown etc... 😂
Haha my next video is in Chinatown but I don’t think I went in any gold stores this time.
Looks so good! I would have asked for two eggs though haha
Haha I want to try the Wagyu next time!!!!
กับข้าวแพง แต่ร้านแคบ สงสารลูกค้า ควรขยายสาขา ที่ลูกค้าได้นั่งทานสบายๆ เขาตั้งใจข้ามน้ำข้ามทะเลมากิน
Ya it’s definitely pricey compared to on the street, but it does have very high quality.
ขยายไม่ได้สิ พื้นที่ให้เช่ามีแค่นั้น 😅

Wow didn't know you can handle those high spice levels 🔥🔥🔥
Haha yessir!!! I love spice so much! After this I hung out in my hotel in case of an emergency bathroom situation but I was surprisingly fine 😂 lol.
@@WhereisBrad haha, I'm sure it was a spicy time in the bathroom as well 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥
Hahahaha yes indeed
Wonderful mate.. I have tweeted this video with Mark Weins now...
Thank you!🙏
Ong I would he so happy if he saw it!!! The true inspiration!!
Can't go anywhere that night after eating that haha.
Hahaha, so my plan was this. Go eat this, return to my room, pray that I can "release" within the next hour or so. I had a bunch of stuff planned later that day.

Oh very interesting! I can’t believe I’ve spent all this time in Thailand and I’m only now learning this. Thank you!!
The flag is that of the King.
Ahh okay I see thank you! I didn't know that was a thing!
เผ็ดมากมั้ยคะ? ทานเยอะๆนะคะ 👍💖🌸
Haha yes super spicy!!! I have a pretty high tolerance for heat!
When I ordered That dish in california, I always asked low spicy please but they end up putting alot chili's. I just eat it and drink cold water
Haha do you still like it??
I feel like the difference from 0 to 1 chili is massive. But the difference from 1 to 2 is more subtle. And so on. But I always like very spicy! I only avoid for flights, or when I need to be far from a toilet lol.😂
@WhereisBrad I can take a little spice but not alot or else I start sweating and turn red lol.
Hahahaha
What kind of sunglasses you wearing bro
Haha these are Knoxville XL made by Electric. I love these because they are comfortable on my large head lol. I’ve lost pairs of these many times, this is prob my 7th or 8th pair over the years lol
@@WhereisBrad thanks bro. Def gonna get some. Love your videos bro. Going to Thailand in November. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Nice!!! Enjoy!
I had level 5 and die 😆

@@WhereisBrad I perfer pork for that dish

😎✌️

The price so much pricey from Mark restaurant. This is a very common foods in Thailand.
Ya… I get Kaprow pretty regularly in all parts of Thailand. And usually it’s like 60 or even 30-40 baht in baan nok. But I know I had to try Marks restaurant at least once!
BRO JUST RECORDS ANYBODY IN THE BACKGROUND..DISRESPECTFUL AF
?
Pretty sure everyone at the restaurant discovered this place from TH-cam videos anyway lol.
@@WhereisBrad yea but atleast ask if they wanna be recorded..they sat their first..have some class
I know what you mean… people usually cover their face or make it known when they don’t want to be recorded. But I actually talked with a bunch of them after I ended the video and they were excited to be in the background. The people to my right were super excited and we talked a ton. The ones behind me were super friendly but not amazing English. I’m confident I didn’t film anyone who didn’t want to be filmed
Many of them subscribed after so they could watch the video when it went up too! Super cool! Not great English though
Thai people don't eat red hot chilli after cooked already, just aroma . Too spicy
Oh really? lol never knew that! Good to know thanks!🙏
E ka me? Where are you Mexico ?Japan? Learn how to pronounce the name correctly man. Or at least try to pronounce as close as possible. You put that much effort to eat the spicy food at least you can do is say the name right.

Lol it very talkative the workers. 20 mins for food ? That's long
lol ya. They didn’t seem very available to chat with me lol. It’s all good though the food was amazing!🤩
Bro, why mask on the girls serving you? It hides their beautiful smile 😢
Ya, I'm guessing because they work with food maybe? But ya I agree, no need!
