som tum and chicken great cure for a hangover. Get proper sticky rice with it in a bamboo pot. Dip it in som tum sauce, thai style. Just Be careful not to hit the slippery slope. Saw many a good guys out there lost to drink. Once you realise there is very little to do , its easy to fall into that trap. Keep active, and just do a couple of nights a week if possible
Chicken Satay and peanut sauce......Banging stuff.....You can always tell the quality of the Thai food by how many Thai people are eating at the restaurant. If its packed - Eat there.....If not - Avoid. Anyways great to see you're sampling all the local cuisine. Keep up the good work....and stay hydrated lol...Cheers
You cannot beat fresh made thai food. That papaya salad gives you a taste and well needed vitamins explosion in your body. I think i have to convince the wife we need to go on holiday to Thailand to celebrate our anniversry. But i think she will put me on a leash every evening when gooing out for a beer and a snack.
I though you looked a bit rough this morning, DJ! 😂 Hope you and 'Belfast John' had a nice evening though. Food looks lovely, as always. Truly makes my mouth water. Thanks for the video and see you in the next one. 👍🤗
I struggle to understand some of the comments made on this channel. Why do people make anything personal, or what I consider hurtful comments. Many things I love about this channel, food reviews, Travel, History, the list goes on. I watched a video about three years ago when you talked about your friends Mark Wein and the Mac master and wished them all the success they were having. Well 2025 is going to be your year as people are interested in genuine people like your fellow you tube friends who have also done well. Salute 🫡 you Sir as your you tube channel is amazing and it’s only going to from strength to strength due to your candid and honest nature. Also big kahunas to you as it takes someone with bottle to leave their family and friends and move half way around the world. You deserve all the success you will get. 👏👏👏. I have had a couple of beers 🍺 so I will be quiet now.
All that Food and a drink for just £9 UK pounds !!! WOW what a dream!! Keep going DJ. I'm sure UK price would be around £27.00 and it wouldn't taste as good. [pesky flies]...
I’m Thai, and lived there for 30 years and moved to the uk 10 years ago. I saw a guy getting jumped on for saying to watch the calories. He’s right. In their cooking that use COPIOUS amounts of sodium (salt) for flavour enhancers. Same for vegetables, it’s to create a sweet and salty taste that people crave. Take out or eat in their food like this is AWFUL for your health. Most of the food is NOT fresh Darren, it’s presented to look like that as the strong flavours hide a LOT! Most Thai people cook at home because of exactly this. The only way you get healthy Thai food is by eating in very high end restaurants or cooking it yourself. Also, word of wisdom in Thai etiquette, don’t constantly say how cheap things are and living like a king on a few quid, you just don’t do it.
There are a lot of ways to die and just because you eat what you like and not what you are told to doesn't mean it will kill you. You are more likely to die from over eating so dont be such a kill joy.
@ Interesting. Sadly with diabetes and five heart operations in four years, things like sugar, hot spices and MSG are not recommended. I try to ask restaurants if they use MSG but sometimes forget.👍🙏🏽
Looked lush that. Enjoyed your London stuff and on your recommendation visited Humble Crumble on our last visit to the big smoke, lush. May have to save up for a trip to Thailand now!
Loving the fresh videos. Can i call you Darren? i just feel a bit silly calling you DJ. I know its probably just me being silly 🙂 However Darren, it looks like your meal had lots of lovely spicing going on. The wooden shack location looks quite cool and looks to be very relaxing . It looks a nice choice for a balmy, casual afternoon. I love that they cook from fresh in Asia. The food was so cheap and much of the food there in Thailand is actually clean, fresh, healthy and nutritious.
Try the Akvavit Restaraunt on Jomtien Beach Rd especialy good at Sunset,maybe near Soi3 And i bet you will be trying Indian by Nature on the way to Jomtien😊
If you like seafood, Darren, try the Pupen Seafood restaurant along the Jomtien front. Its always busy with the locals so ya know it's good. All the best 👍🏻
7:00 Did you dig into the Prik Nam Pla (?) condiment in the bowl at the bottom left of the screen too? I like your eating method - a mouthful of each dish and then reflection. It turns eating into a thankful ritual 👍.
Food looks divine, drinks you had looked good. + you said so fresh but that fly was going in your salad bowl over 6 min mark-not so fresh like it was at the start! + very good it is open 24 hours as well 👍🏻
Hi Darren, Great video, I've mentioned before I've lived here for 20 years, the other day I had a papaya salad for the first time after seeing you enjoy one, absolutely great. I'm 84 and rarely eat out these days the prices here on Koh Samui are about 40% higher than Pattaya and the food her is generally not as good. My Thai wife and I have a favourite Thai restaurant, meal for two costs us 1,200 to 2,000 baht but that includes a beer or two, and maybe a cocktail, it is very good food. M
When you get time could you though do some market stuff and cook it at home. I bet you could cook very fresh for less. Sate sauce is also super easy to make. But I would love to see the local food markets.
Hi, the papaya 🥗 salad looks delicious and the chicken and satay sauce amazing i love satay sauce could eat it all day long 😋 you will have to show us a closer look at the sea all the nice waves and the little boats on the sea 😊🥹
I would highly recommend from the street vendors , papaya salad , grilled chicken and a pack of sticky rice, it’s an absolute beast of a dish and highly traditional. You’ll usually see the street vendors selling this only not restaurants
Hi Darren, the Som Tum, sounds so very nice. 🎉 I'm not a fan of Pad Thai too. I don't like Rice Noodles. But i love spicy 🔥 🥵 food. Maybe like you suggested Medium Heat for spice. 🎉😍
You are making me jealous, and a lot healthier than a lot of the rubbish we eat in the UK! No wonder so many people are obese I really need to start eating healthier myself, enjoy!
Love the channel (honest bloke) hello Darren 🙋🏼♂️ few questions what degrees is it very warm there also would it be safe country/area 😮 ,,,,keep it going D J 😊
@@DJsFoodTravelsTop man is David. DJ obviously your decision but I would say use David as your go to for anything you need to know especially while you're finding your feet..
Yum, lovely chicken satay. And slurpy noodles. Can't beat it. But you can't eat all that every day. You need to choose one meal not three. Lol. And remember the fruit.👍😀
Did you not visit the upstairs part of the premises where the live creepy crawlies reside? A wide selection of snakes, spiders and iguanas to hold if you are brave enough. Next time you are in the restaurant be sure to try their renowned East-West fusion dish: snake and kidney pie.😊
I'd have gone for a smaller kitchen in the apartment 😂 why cook at home when there's food like that on the doorstep, and so cheap!! As the saying goes "you can't make it for that". Loving the videos now, especially now there's a spring in your step!!
Because of your videos me and the wife are planning a trip to Thailand 🇹🇭

Take up golf. Gives you a reason to get away 4 hours in the afternoon. Gents clubs available with free buffet midday.

Cheer for the shout out DJ we did have a few.
Really pleased you’ve adopted the correct pronunciation of Pattaya already. Good work. The other version is like nails on glass
Thanks

Hey mate, great video. Keep the good work up
Have you had a chance to try mookata yet? If not, you definitely need to

When you get time could you though do some market stuff and cook it at home. I bet you could cook very fresh for less. Sate sauce is also super easy to make. But I would love to see the local food markets.
@@mmuzzwell3654 great markets. Fresh pork & chicken , vegetables very cheap. I sometimes cook at my condo in Bangkok ..
G'day Darren that looked really nice im glad your settling in enjoy your self Shane in Sydney 🦘🇦🇺

You seem very relaxed and content in this video.

Enjoy your life mate.
Watching this,while eating toast n jam with a mug of tea 🫖Looks really delicious 😋Thanks for sharing DJ 😊👍🎅🎄🎁
I could almost taste the food ,never short of selections to try in Thai restaurants the only one I couldn't manage is Goong Dten .
Love it living the life
Chicken satire looks tender 👍😛😋
It looked belting it's food heaven in Thailand
That all looked so tasty and fresh , that would have cost so much more over here . I nice place to go back to.🙏🏼❤️👍🤩
Thats some amount of food!
Som Tom has an addictive heat.
it does
Recommend from both ends of the heat spectrum,Tom Yum soup very spicy and Massaman curry, mild but fragrant .
Oh what a meal….
😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
£9.45p at todays exchange rate.
As you say cheaper than the uk, on the rich side in a Thailand market
Great vid mate. What’s the prices like just out of interest cheers . 🍻
Forget that haha you just went through them
Any egg and chips out there iam a bit of a plain Jane when it comes to food
You are making me jealous, and a lot healthier than a lot of the rubbish we eat in the UK!
No wonder so many people are obese I really need to start eating healthier myself, enjoy!
Yum 😋
Love the channel (honest bloke) hello Darren 🙋🏼♂️ few questions what degrees is it very warm there also would it be safe country/area 😮 ,,,,keep it going D J 😊
Lovely
Now I won't just walk past yiam 2
I will go inside and have a great meal.
You live close to David Strachan who does restaurant videos. Maybe you'll meet sometime.
We are in touch, lovely guy
@@DJsFoodTravelsTop man is David. DJ obviously your decision but I would say use David as your go to for anything you need to know especially while you're finding your feet..
Yum, lovely chicken satay. And slurpy noodles. Can't beat it. But you can't eat all that every day. You need to choose one meal not three. Lol. And remember the fruit.👍😀
Got enough? 🤣 Looked lovely.
In Japan, they are now selling apartments with no kitchen, as everyone just eats out.
We got an 'Off The Charts'!
Looking forward to some exploring of the tropical fruits. Are you not intrigued by the Durian?
Darren, you said the satay sauce was hot. Did you mean temperature or spice level? Thanks.
Did you not visit the upstairs part of the premises where the live creepy crawlies reside? A wide selection of snakes, spiders and iguanas to hold if you are brave enough.
Next time you are in the restaurant be sure to try their renowned East-West fusion dish: snake and kidney pie.😊
Can I ask what watch you are wearing?
Not a bad life Darren, is it? 👍
When you're ready for a Ruby, The Tikka Center Soi Buakhao.
Good food here.
Had a couple sounds good.Any more and they call you butterfly..:)
