BEST FOOD tour in Bangkok, Thailand😍🇹🇭

Welcome to part two of how to have the perfect first day in the crazy city of Bangkok. In the previous video we visited some of the most popular spots so if you missed it we'll link it above and below for you. It's now time to show you one of the best food tours you can do in Bangkok. We'll be exploring this incredible city by night, zipping all over town in a cute little tuk-tuk, exploring famous markets, eating delicious food and learning a bit along the way. Could it get any more iconic? We've made it to the meeting point of our tour tonight and literally we could not have asked for a better Bangkok sunset. It is really showing off right now. Yay! I'm excited. And our driver's name is Mr. Toy. That's our car. I miss it so much. We are the Suzuki Jim Jim and he is sat in Cape Town waiting for us to come home at the end of this year. Can't wait. Yeah. Definitely subscribe and like this video if you're enjoying it. There'll be a lot of Cape Town content coming up in the future and maybe we'll go on some adventures in our chimney but for now it's tuk-tuk adventures. We've been told the goal of this tour is three things. It's markets, food and history. So we'll be seeing some temples as well. I think this might be a really really good introductory tour to Bangkok. Maybe do it on your first day but I'll let you know at the end. This is so much fun. It's a vibe. It's a vibe. First stop is the food market. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Mr. Toy. Thank you. All right. Okay I let you try. Cheers. So much is happening right now in my mouth. An explosion of flavors. Deep fried chicken with crispy onion. This one the sauce made from vinegar, syrup and chili. For me zero. I just taste the taste of this one. I think it's sweet. It's not spicy but if you doesn't make sure how spicy you are we cut on the top of the back here. You drop drop a little bit to taste. Our next meal is deep fried chicken with onion and some chili sauce. We've been told it's like a zero out of ten spiciness so that's fantastic. Try it. I rate we should just go for it. Hey we don't mind spicy do we? Okay. She said this is not spicy but I would say this is about three. Okay. Okay okay okay I can do it. It doesn't last that long. That is delicious. That's like a spicy chutney. So it's like sweet and spicy. Oh my gosh. If you're South African you love Woolworths. Everybody loves a Woolworths chicken. This tastes exactly like a Woolworths chicken with a chili chutney on top. It's down our alley. Crispy, tender and a little spicy but perfect. And it's sweet. Again another explosion of flavors. I can't believe we've been here for two minutes and we've already tried two things. I love this. Coconut, coriander, garlic and pepper. Inside we call Khoai Thong egg yolk like a noodle. From the egg yolk, they melt the egg yolk, put in the basket, pass through the basket like a noodle and turning it on the top of the syrup when they're boiling. So after that comes to be the noodle egg yolk like this. I'm gonna let you try this one first. Like a taco. Whole thing. It's sweet. Salty one. This is the salty one. For my word I love the sweet one though. This one's the savory one. I think this is made from coconut and something. I don't know what the orange. Tastes like a crispy pancake. So yeah. The salty one's so sweet. Thank you. Portuguese dessert. Portuguese dessert. Okay let's try. This is insane. This is also absolutely delicious. And this one here this is the dessert we call the custard. The custard. Pandan custard. It's made from local vegetables. Dude I'm loving these snacks. This is custard made from pandan leaf and then the same kind of like pancake-y mix. Dude these snacks. I didn't even know Thailand had such delicious dessert snack things like this. And then you still said we're having dessert later. I know. Our guide said the secret to Thai food is that none of it is Thai. It all comes from somewhere else used and used hundreds of years ago and they put their own spin on it. Made it so much more delicious. One of the snacks that we tried was Portuguese. The next one was from Japan. Another one was from Muslim people. She just said Muslim people. I'm guessing like Indonesia. I'm not sure. But yeah. Amazing. We're tasting the world. This one we call lotus. The dessert color from the vegetable pandan as a pancake when you try. But the flavor made from banana coconut milk. Again another yummy sweet. Not too sweet. Quite a neutral flavor. Very crispy. It's made from lotus and pandan leaf flavoring. Crispy. It's like a donut. I've never eaten this fruit in my life and we've lived in Asia for like four years. This is amazing. Similar to longan? No. Not even. Yeah. It's I mean you can say it's a little but it's softer. Yeah. The lychees are sweeter. I love this. I love longan. We just tried longan and longgong. Same same but different. If you don't come on the tour, I will leave the link to this street in the description. I think it's actually unbelievable in terms of the variety of street food you can get here. You have to come and check it out. The vendor quality is also very high. We haven't had a bad thing yet. Crickets. Worms. I'm good. I had a scorpion the other day on coastline road. I'm eating the ass. It's a scorpion. It tastes bad, doesn't it? Oh my word. It's my fiancee. Yeah. She's gonna try a worm. We've been peer pressured. The group of peer shit us into having something. A cricket. I don't know. I'm gonna mix it. Oh you're gonna have a mixed bag, eh? Mix one bag because when we're shopping we can't make only one or two. Which one are you gonna have? The ones that are not worm-like. I'm so gonna film this. I recommend start from this one, the cricket, the baby one. Amazing. Yeah, it's really easy. Ready, steady, ready, steady. Okay, okay. It tastes like... That's like a salty chip. Yeah, yeah, yeah. His is like a peanut. His is like a peanut. Okay. Supposedly tastes like a peanut. You're right. Tastes like a peanut. Oh, the taste is not like a peanut? Which one? Which one? Okay, the big one. The big... Can I do this one? Yeah, that's fine. I'm shaking, dude. Oh my goodness. Close your eyes. Close your eyes. That is the dried shrimp. Oh, that's so bad. They're actually tasty. I don't know what to call it. They're not bad. Yeah, yeah. That's why they like to eat it. But just when you close your eyes and you don't know what is it, you just stop. This one is not good. I can't do that one. Let him try. Let him try more. Another one. Okay, let him try. Let me do the crickets. Have you tried all this? This one? Time to have a garden cricket. Very crunchy. Salty chip. We done? Thank you. Okay. I'm not as courageous as them. Thank you. We booked this tour on Get Your Guide and we'll leave the link down below for you. It's by far our favorite platform to use on our travels. We use it to book all of our tours, fun experiences, and even our entrance tickets. No matter where you are in the world, you'll always have something fun and interesting to book during your time there, like a food tour in Bangkok, a traditional tea ceremony in Japan, and even trekking with the locals in Sapa, Vietnam. Definitely consider checking them out. They even have an awesome app that you can download. Back to the video. In the beginning of the tour, our guide asked us if there's anything we wouldn't eat and we all said insects. Absolutely not. But when I was standing there, I was like, let's just do it. And honestly, they were so tasty. They tasted like salty chips, like a salty potato chip. That's way not as bad as a freaking scorpion though. Guys, scorpions are gross. Very gross. Scorpions are gross. Agreed. I couldn't swallow it. I have to be honest. Elena explained the history of Thailand to us in front of a beautiful white temple whose name we can't even pronounce. Honestly, Elena has been the best guide and this tour has covered every single thing you'd want out of a tour. We've also really enjoyed it being at night when everything is lit up so beautifully and it's a lot cooler than during the day. It's so nice to ride around in this tuk-tuk. You just feel like you're free and you just get all the fresh air. Great. And it's even more fun when you're drunk. One of the stops on this tour was the Giant Swing, originally constructed almost 250 years ago by King Rama I. We learned about Bangkok's long full name and our guides even sang the full 21 word name to us. And this is Bangkok's full name. Okay, everyone, if you have a free hand, help me. One, two, three. Lots and lots of history being taught. It's really cool to learn about the history of Thailand. We finally learned why the royal family don't live in the Grand Palace anymore and that's because King No. 8 was killed there and King No. 9 was executed. So, it's really cool to learn about palace where his brother died. So, that's why they no longer live in the Grand Palace. We just had a quick stop at the Grand Palace that you've already seen earlier on. Now, it's time to get dinner. I'm excited. I have a feeling we're going to have a Pad Thai again. Honestly, I think Bangkok is one of the most beautiful cities in the world when it comes to its temples. Honestly, Bangkok is so much more beautiful at night. You saw earlier all the temples are made out of glass and little mosaics. All of those mosaics reflect light at night time and twinkle. Oh, it's just so beautiful. The nice thing about visiting Bangkok and all the temples and historical sites, they're all within like a couple of kilometers of each other. Makes it quite easy. It's time for dinner. We've got chicken with cashew, Thai style omelette with basil, Tom Yum soup. I don't actually like Tom Yum soup, but I'm going to try it again. Vegetarian Pad Thai, tofu with sweet and sour sauce and mushroom curry. Nice. And rice, of course. The mango smoothies in Thailand. I love them. Wow. It's over a hundred years. Flower market, we call Pak Khong Talad. Pak Khong means waterfront. And this market, night time, busier more than daytime. Most of the flowers we grow in Thailand, only a few flowers like the chrysanthemum, maybe from Malaysia or sometimes we grow the flower in the north, like Chiang Mai. Also in the mountain, it's cold weather. And also from the south and from the central. Especially the lotus flower, we grow in the central because the lotus flower needs a lot of water. Okay, I'm going to give you some gifts. This one. I was actually going to buy some. These two, we don't need you to purchase anything. We offer to you. Okay. Marigold. Jasmine. And this one, magnolia flower. This one we call crown flower. The crown flower is no smell. Smell from the jasmine and smell from the magnolia flower. So, okay. One from all. I'm getting a flower at the flower market. Which one do I choose? You should one of each. One of each? I can't believe this is a flower. This doesn't look real. This is the real flower, fresh flower. Fresh flower, we call crown. In my language, this is the meaning of love. Because this flower in my language called rak. R-U-K. Rak means love. Because we say, I love you. You want to say I love you? Say to the camera. I love you. Oh my god. I love things like this, guys. It's going to die. What do I do? How do I take this home? It's so romantic. I think this is my favorite part of the whole tour, is coming to the flower market. It's absolutely massive. I've never seen so many beautiful flowers in my life. And they make the flowers all night long. I've never seen so many flowers in my whole life. Here's the flowers that we posed with in Vietnam. Lotus. Lotuses. Chad. Are you happy? I love flowers so much. Look at us, guys. Waters. Thank you, sir. Thank you, Mr. Toy. Hey, we've made it to Chinatown. This is definitely a highlight here in Bangkok. It's one of the top spots you have to visit. And honestly, it kind of reminds me of Times Square. It's like Thailand's version of Times Square. It's so cool. Lots of street food, lots of buying, lots of shopping here. It's awesome. Geez, and lots of tourists. I've not seen this many tourists in Thailand. Right hand side. Thank you, dearest. And then you obviously have to try mango sticky rice when you're here. It's the iconic dessert of Thailand. Everything we've eaten today has been nice, but you can't beat mango sticky rice. Purple rice made from the flower, butterfly pea flower. It's made from the flower petals. Ending off our night with a nice little cool ice cream to cool us down from this heat. She had to go with the iconic mango sticky rice. I'm so full from all the food. I couldn't eat another bit of rice. Thank you. Thank you to join with us today. Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy everything. Bye to our amazing tuk-tuk driver. Guys, that tour was so good. That goes in like our top three tours we've ever done. Freaking fantastic.
