- Big thanks to @FlyBangkokAir for getting us to Samui in style. If you have limited time, this is the only way to go! Quick, easy and comfortable! Book from their official site now for their 2160 THB Early Bird Special: www.bangkokair.com/
So today was my second day back on Koh Samui in 5 years and I was very curious to see if I could find some more authentic local Thai street food at reasonable prices so I headed down to one of my favourite spots, Nathon Beach.
A big thank you to Lawrence from Buildaspace.com.au for sponsoring today's video!
First I got a very unique pink fried rice dish called Khao Pad Moo Daeng and a Kuay Teow Tom Yum at Pui Yok ปุยหยก. The rice was comforting and well cooked and the noodles were top notch.
I can imagine parents taking their kids down here for the rice in a weekend and then the kids taking their kids when they’re older. It’s that kind of place.

Then I headed to the beachfront to probably my favourite coffee shop in the island, HERE slow bar coffee (Nathon pier)

In my opinion, Samui still has some great options for anyone serious about Thai street food, you just need to get away from Chewang, Lamai and Bophut. I want to give you options no matter where you are in Koh Samui so you can always enjoy some amazing local Thai food.

My name’s Gary and I’ve been living in Bangkok for the past five plus years and travelling Thailand for over ten. I’m obsessed with Thai street food and it’s that obsession that led me to start this TH-cam channel. I want to share my favourite hidden spots in Bangkok and the rest of Thailand so you can fall in love with authentic, local Thai food as much as I have!
I’ve never understood travelling to a town or city and not eating the local food. How else do you really connect with a place? Let’s get out and explore together and I guarantee you’ll find a whole different side to this wonderful country.
If you love seeing off the beaten path, non-touristy, local life and authentic local life in Bangkok and Thailand then this is the channel for you. If go go bars on the Sukhumvit Road are more your thing (I’m not judging) then maybe not!

"make it to your flavour" is the ultimate understanding of thai food, frankly.
For sure!!
The Airport is really tiny but practical! Thanks for the showing us the nice food! 🌶️🔥🙏
Very practical! Thanks for watching mate
Really appreciate your explanations of the condiments (krueng) with soups and fried rice. In my first introduction to Thai food, 40+ years back, my friend explained the importance of balancing the prime flavors - sweet, salty, sour and spicy- to enjoy the most authentic and delicious Thai dining experiences.
My pleasure Joe, glad I can be of use 😀
Love koh Samui. My favorite place in Thailand. Wish I would bought land there twenty years ago when I had a chance. The food looks so tasty and delicious. I need some. I always enjoy your video Gary. Look forward to them. Hope you had a great holiday on Samui mate
Cheers Thomas
Truly appreciate your efforts to search for authentic food in Khao Samui. Not at touristy places because there it's too expensive and quality is less...and easy to complain.
It’s my pleasure my friend
Awesome Gaza, its a pleasure supporting small business! keep up the great work.
Cheers Lawrence mate, I really appreciate it
Koh Samui, never disappointed me when it came to food and things to see and do. Love that island.
👍 for Lawrence for your $$ support
Yeah so much variety there
Thank you for the tips about how to get there and all others. It’s really nice to see Helen and Finley, he is too adorable 🥰.
Thanks so much
Good work Lawrence & Gary! Loved seeing the real authentic side of Koh Samui! That coffee stop has surely been added to the Koh Samui google pins! Cheers
Thanks mate
Another winner Gary lovely video, family time is special. Food looked great especially that pork. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it really helps when you visit these places. Nathon looks really chilled especially the coffee shop, my kind of place.
Thanks so much Carol, I always appreciate you watching
That meal is SUPERB!!
So good
the egg on that red rice is very well fried, that's how I like to eat it..not only the island has developed, but all of Thailand if I compare that with when I first arrived in the 80s.only the food remains about the same .Yes, everyone has their own taste, that's what the ingredients are for on the table. with the little one it is definitely recommended to take a plane Gary 👍
Yes for sure, everywhere has developed. I wish I had been in the 80’s! Must have been so much fun
@@theroamingcook yes some things were better and others not,, development has its pros and cons,,, but the 80's were dirt cheap for us westerners.
Really enjoyed this video great Food footage and a bit of travel info was great to have in there 👍🏼
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it
I loved "No Rice No Life" there. Thank you for sharing red rice, I never knew that existed. It was cool to hear you speak Thai/Lao.
Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it
Looks like a perfect place to eat. Love these genuine, older restaurants.
Been a while since i was in Samui 2019! Take care Gary
There’s still some good spots here
Hiya Gary, great video. Forever making me feel hungry. Have a great weekend. I hope Finley is better soon
Thanks so much Nicky
Another great local place there mate with some cracking food and another great coffee spot 👌
Yeah this was a good find mate!
That’s called “kao pad rod fai” (train fried rice) its called a train fried rice because it was invented in a Thai train station a long time ago (not to sure about the history) very rare to have the restaurant that’s serve this kind of fried rice. Glad you enjoy it!
Ah very interesting, I never knew that! I will search the local stations :)
Another great video Gary
We were there in 1998 loved driving around the island looking for food places. Went to Nathon then, you’ve brought back some great memories. We will finish our month trip north to south in koh samui in December just before we fly into Bangkok for that food tour with you. Wishing the time away now.
Definitely will visit those places you’ve been. 😉👍🏻
Cheers Del mate. Seen some changes since then!
Yes 👍, you really found the really good local, authentic Thai/Chinese fried rice for your subscribers. I enjoy different foods but I have never seen this fried rice anywhere. I love noodles and enjoy coffee in the morning . I agree with you , loving the peaceful town that you are staying.
Can’t beat it sheila!
Koh Samui is a favorite of mine. I was lucky to have Thai friends that were working there and had the inside scoop on where to go. There used to be a weekly night market right at the Nathon pier. Don’t know if it’s still there? Chaweng is fun don’t want to stay there very long. Plenty of chill places on the island and everyone is very nice 😊
Didn’t see it but we don’t really go out after dark 😅
I love Koh Samui and this VDO Clips.
Another coming soon :)
I’ve never had an amazing food experience when I went to several islands in Thailand… but I guess there is!! Great video!!
Yeah usually island food ain’t great
You da man, Gary!
😅🙏🙏🙏
Great video as always. I've missed a few lately as life has been too busy for me to find the time to watch TH-cam. Decided to join your channel after watching for so long. I hope you don't have to take a VPN sponsorship anytime soon! Cheers from Australia! 🤠
Cheers mate, welcome back! Thanks for joining, it's much appreciated 🙏 You missed the VPN ad while you were away haha
Thanks for the info. Will visit koh samui one day
Enjoy!
Food 🍲 look so delicious 🤤
Very 😀
That is great!
So good Mike
@@theroamingcook TNT Tim Newton Today mentioned a CNN article on the 50 top street foods. Maybe could be an idea where you judge the findings lol. Agree or disagree? Just an idea. Have a tasty day.
Great info as usual. We stayed on the same coast in Lipa Noi for our 2 nights quarantine back in March, very quiet and peaceful with a lovely beach. Could've done with the car hire info back then but will remember for next time. We wanted to take a car to Koh Phangan but nodbody would let us take a car on the ferry 😢
Thanks Mia. Always good to have some wheels
Unique menu
Very 😀
If you're going solo from Bangkok, I'd recommend what I did. Especially if you despise airports. I took the Bangkok night train to Chumphon then a bus to the pier and a boat to Koh Tao except you can take the train to Surat Thani then a bus to the pier and finally a boat to Koh Samui's Nathon pier. Either way is an adventure worth trying at least once.
How do you say pier to the bus conductor? Or just say ferry ?
@@helee28 Hi Helee, you can just say ferry. Most buses from the train station are owned by the ferry company called Lomprayah Ferry. You can purchase a Bus+Ferry combination ticket ahead of time from 12GO. That is what I did. Keep in mind, if you're taking a train, they are almost always late getting to their destination. I took the night train from Bangkok to Chumphon and it got to Chumphon 2 hours late. Luckily, my Bus wasn't scheduled to pick me up for 1 more hour. Make sure you plan on being at least 2 hours late to your destination if traveling by train.
@@WushuTaz Thanks Bryan. I've done this before, but the first bus that picks up from Surat Thani station, the conductor was very confused at what I was saying but it's my fault, I said "raja ferry office" thanks to info I found on a random blog. Now I know I can just go straight to the ferry and get tickets. Sea tran is definitely my favourite 😌
@@helee28 That's too funny. I have yet to try Sea tran since they were still not doing boat rides due to Covid until recently. I'll give them a go next time.
That fried rice from a distance looks like western minced beef, like an uncooked burger or something. Very interesting find, duchess!
It kind of does doesn't it! Like a tartare
@@theroamingcook Tartare? You posh sod, you! 🤣
The fried rice remind me of
Stay safe guys
Thanks 🙏
The fried rice remind me of khao pad rod fai ( ข้าวผัดรถไฟ) old fashion fried rice made with pink yentafour sauce. They only sell it on train station, it’s hard to find it now.
That’s so interesting! 😀
Very well explained that 'tau huu yee' 😊
I get my information from the best 😀
@@theroamingcook 😜
My teacher is lovely
Thanks for showing that Samui has more to offer than Lamai an Chaweng - next year I will be back again with my family.
But before we fly to Samui, we are some days in Bangkok: Can you recommend a car company to drive us from BKK to KSR? As our daughter will be 2 years old, a car with child seat feels safer to us than a regular/large taxi. Thanks 😀
My pleasure Chistoph. Can you message me directly and I'll give you some options? Can get me on Instagram, Facebook or email at theroamingcook@gmail.com
Loved this and it’s my first video in full on your channel , food looked stunning and myself and wife don’t like all hotels and tourists it’s dull . I walk around Watford over the last few years and so many so called authentic restaurants Chinese Thai Japanese etc etc , your paying big money for what is for westernised people and not proper authentic , you’ve basically pay peanuts for far far better food all be it my opinion cheers loving the channel
Exactly right mate
have you ever done a video of khao soi?

Samui airport is 6 stars ! Bangkok Airways owns the airport that's why the only airline to USM
It’s a great airport for sure!
Bangkok Airways own Samui airport, hence the lack of competition.
Correct!
Cute

To get runny yolk is “kai dao mai sook” correct?
