After spending 24 hours in Singapore, we made our way to Bangkok.
I've never been to Thailand before and to say that I was excited wouldn't be an
understatement. If you know me then you know that I'm
obsessed with watching Thai mukbangs on YouTube.
Everything about the salty, spicy, sour, punchy flavors when it comes to Thai
food just makes me salivate. Bangkok is a
vibrant, chaotic, loud city that has one of the best
street food cultures in the world. It's like a city on steroids and with
a food obsession. I literally found myself eating no
matter where I was just because there was food
everywhere. I knew I was gonna love Bangkok before I even came
and I was right. I found love with this lively city and I can even picture
myself living here one day. I had so much fun these three days and I
can't wait for the day I get to come back.
Hope you enjoy the vlog.
Hello friends! We are in Bangkok, Thailand.
My foodie dreams are gonna come true this trip. I'm
so excited. It's my first time in Thailand
and I am a big time lover of Thai food which is why I'm extra excited to be
here because all we plan on doing these next three
days is honestly just eat whatever we see.
Yesterday was kind of a rough flight coming from Singapore because our flight
got delayed for five hours so we didn't land into Bangkok until 1am
and I didn't go to bed until 5am so I don't know maybe it's a good thing
because I'm fighting jet lag in a way. We got to our Airbnb with no
problem. We took a grab from the airport and our Airbnb is actually a park cafe as
well. It's closed on the weekends but it does operate as a little coffee
shop downstairs. We already love the Airbnb so far.
They left some snacks, some banana bread and also some instant
noodles for us downstairs all for free and then like a bunch of drinks as well.
So last night we were pretty hungry once we got in and we just enjoyed some
tom yum instant noodles which was already so satisfying to me for some
reason having them here in Thailand and that was like our
little midnight snack. I also love our room as well. I can't
believe this was only $20 a night.
It's super clean. Our room is really really spacious. It has
everything that we need and even though I haven't met the Airbnb host yet, the
hospitality has just been amazing with all the little touches around the Airbnb
that are really really thoughtful. So now that it is day one of Bangkok,
we are going to start off our foodie trip with a trip to
the floating market. Something I've been seeing online for a long time now
and I just cannot wait. So let's go to the floating market.
What do you want to get?
Look at that.
This is so cool. Oh my gosh, this is my first meal in
Thailand. All right, here's our spread for now.
So we got a papaya salad with crab. Our first pad thai from the boat.
This is some pork with this spicy sauce here. It's very juicy. They let me have a
sample. Some coconut rice pancakes and a coconut.
It's good.
Wow, even the papaya tastes different.
Growing up in Thailand, that was my favorite fruit.
Bangkok. I've heard that the malls here are
super big, like multi-story. A lot of good food courts. So I'm so
excited. Going into this mall.
Let's see how many floors there are. One, two,
three, four, five, six. Six floors.
Krispy Kreme Y2K Summer Donuts. Bottle gum berry cotton candy.
Chalky pink.
Oh my gosh, I'm finally trying my favorite noodles in the entire world
here in Thailand. I got boat noodles. The beef ones, beef balls. Andrew got
Australian beef. A little bit more fancy, but it looks
really good. The ones in the U.S. don't give us the
basil, huh? The bean sprouts.
Y'all, we have been looking for this one
Thai tea place for 30 minutes. My legs are so tired.
But we finally found it. It was back on the first floor.
We were misled by the internet, aka Google.
But I finally got it, Thai tea. It's a really popular brand called
Cha Tra Moo. But you see like people drinking this, so I'm so glad I
finally have it. They also sell a bunch of other like
instant Thai tea powders or just like Thai tea leaves. So I got a couple of
things for my friends and family. I got some
instant powder mix and then some Thai tea mix.
Alright, let's give this a go to see if it's really as good as people say it is.
Less sweet. You can adjust the sweetness. So creamy.
Wow, first impressions of Chinatown Bangkok. It is
absolutely energetic and lively. Honestly, we are both so groggy right
now because we took a two-hour nap and we're barely awake.
But as soon as we got out of that crab ride, we were like, whoa,
there's so many people out. So many people eating.
Just like street food. Kind of woke us up. And now we're at a very
famous Chinese Thai restaurant. Gonna have some
street food.
These are just street Chinese.
Good morning, everybody. Day two of Bangkok. We're grabbing a coffee here
because look at how nice our Airbnb host is. He
made these little coffees for us in case we wake up before the cafe opens.
Which one should I grab? This one. It's so cute. Highly recommend this Airbnb.
And then look, the host even made free brownies for us.
Look. So sweet. Oh, my camera's fogging up now because of the humidity.
Guys, we're at a very local breakfast spot right now called Teo Coffee.
At least it seems very local because locals are all around us. And
it's funny because our table here is like on top of a motorcycle, which is
kind of funny. So at this spot, they specialize in toast
with either jam or condensed milk or Milo.
You have it usually with some iced Milo, which is what Andrew got. And then I got
some Thai iced coffee filled up with ice.
Usual Thai style.
Kind of similar to Singaporean breakfast because they give you
two soft-boiled eggs and you dip the toast in here. So it's kind of sweet and savory.
Do you see the koi? It's right there. The koi is right there.
Breakfast number two.
Trying something that I've been wanting to try for a long time.
It's pink noodle soup, Yen Ta Fo. And you can only get it in
Bangkok, I believe. It's a noodle soup that's pink because the pink is
fermented tofu. So it creates that beautiful
kind of like cherry blossom pink color. I wonder what it'll taste like if I can
actually taste the fermentation. It's a noodle soup that has blood, meatballs,
all kinds of stuff with the crispy wonton.
Not to pour in ice cream. We're gonna get some coconut ice cream.
Perfect for this weather. It is so hot.
Ice cream, no popping.
I know this sounds ridiculous but we've realized that the secret to staying cool
in Bangkok is to keep walking because when you
walk it creates a breeze. When you stand still you feel like
you're gonna die. You feel like you're in a sauna.
On to see the Grand Palace and then we're gonna go to a mall because it's
just so hot.
We're gonna take our first tuk-tuk ride. Another day, another mall.
We are at ICONSIAM. That tuk-tuk ride was fun. It was 20 minutes.
Oh, I wish I had a mask on because the pollution was so bad because sometimes
you were stopped and I could just feel my lifespan
before the evening. I am having my favorite salad in the
entire world. Thai papaya salad which is pretty much
shredded green papaya salad with like a fish sauce
spicy sour kind of dressing. We're at a place that was featured on
Vice and I actually watched a whole video on this which is why I know
this place. It seems super local and we're the only ones here right now
because I think it's more popular during lunch but they're known for of course
their papaya salad. In many different ways you can have
seafood or meat and then they're also known for their grilled meat so we got a
chicken thigh. Look at how local the menu is and
they grill all of their meats here using some kind of charcoal fire.
Oh, our papaya salad is coming. Wow, it looks so good. Oh my gosh, do you
smell it? I think that's for the chicken thigh.
This looks so good. The salad of my dreams.
It's a little sweeter than I thought. Oh, so good.
With grilled pork neck, it just adds a lot more flavor to the Thai salad even though it's already...
Getting our morning caffeine fix here at Factory Coffee.
It's a really beautiful popular cafe with really really unique
craft coffee drinks. They're almost like cocktails because they're so like
carefully made and they have really unique flavors.
It took me a while to figure out what I wanted but here's what I got.
So I got the Honolulu which is an espresso with a hojicha
creamy milk tea on top. What did you get? Andrew got the Supreme which is...
I forgot what it has but it's like it's extra creamy in every way like creamy
foam, caramel. Okay, super creamy espresso and
cold milk. Oh, he also got a salted egg croissant.
Oh, I want to get some fruit. Hi. I'm just gonna get half. I don't even
know what this fruit is. I have no idea what this fruit is.
Looks like a guava.
It is guava. There's like a salty plum powder on it.
So sweet. French spot number two. We are at a local restaurant here that
specializes in Central Thai food. Honestly, I'm still getting used to like
the regions of food and what each one specializes in
but from what I know it's known for its curries that are really spicy and I told
the lady I wanted it very itty bitty spicy because I don't
want to get a stomach ache. I am so excited. I watch Mark Wiens and
he always talks about jungle curry so I'm
just very excited. Is this bamboo? Bamboo. And we got the stir-fry dish with
shrimp and sawtooth seeds which I've seen in my mukbang before that I watch
and I just wonder what it tastes like.
I found this mung bean candy that my favorite mukbanger
on YouTube always eats and it's like little candy or like candy shaped like
fruit and it's so cute. I think it's really simple. It's just
mung bean inside but let's let's give it a go shall we?
I wonder if I can eat this.
This one's like coconut mung bean.
Here let me show the ice cream.
My last night in Bangkok has ended. Gonna miss this little walk around our
neighborhood of our Airbnb. We are so tired we've
got to pack up and leave tomorrow morning.
