hello and welcome back to my channel or welcome if you are new here today we're gonna do a challenge
at a thai local fresh market we're not gonna spend more than five dollars which is about
170 baht to get as much food as much drink as much everything as we can snacks food lunch
all of that good stuff but first we are in santa nam and that is where this fresh market uh
siriwatana market also known as tannen market is located and i think that this is one of the most
hidden gems of chiang mai it's right next to niman which is probably the most popular tourist suburb
this one is a little bit more local and today we're going to go to the fresh market
to show you what you can come to where's a very local experience to get your groceries
your meats your vegetables everything that you do need if you are in santa nam
okay so we're walking around and we're in syria which one i'll get it right one day we're in siri
watana market also known as tannen market so it's in the santa nam-ish area of chiang mai
but it's a lovely fresh market you have everything from meats fruit vegetables take home packets
coffee coke smoothies desserts you have literally everything you could ever sort of want to get here
but we're just having a look around now we might grab something soon we're just going to have a
look at what we need because we're only going to spend five us dollars which is about 170 ish bart
to see what we can get so i do also believe that the farmers and and people from the mountains
come down here to sell the produce and the stuff to the vendors here who then obviously sell it
on to you um so that's really cool to know that this is where you know local tires will do their
shopping like everyone here is just getting their daily groceries you know they would usually come
here i guess depending on what they're doing but instead of like big c or what we would know in
australia as like bullies or calls so it's pretty cool this is a local market like this is local
this is where you come for your food your produce and everything like that so as you can see there's
just rows and rows and rows of food and it's kind of i've noticed in sections this is sort
of the meat and fresh produce coming into you know decor and house things and then up the very top is
sort of your like to-go items with meats and some desserts out there too i saw so we're gonna have
a quick look around and then we're gonna go grab some food and see what we can get for the money
okay so we're about to walk through the butcher's part and it come to be sweaty
so to be completely honest i get a little bit squeamish around like animals and things that
i can see in animals and animal heads and animal insides and everything so this part always makes
me a little bit um squeamish but it is interesting to know that i mean any kind of meat you can ever
possibly imagine like literally any kind is here every organ every everything and we're out how
cool they're all set up oh wow look at all the little fruits oh they're in such a cool line
oh that's so cute okay so we have been here once before sort of when we first got to chiang mai it
was a long long time ago and it's really hot today so if i'm sweating sorry in advance um
but i did get a coffee from here the first time and i really liked it plus it's a really good
price it's like an espresso yen or a an arcano americano for 40 baht cold another americano yeah
my one i'm getting good at that aren't i yeah so i have my americano yen and
it's not bad i'm not gonna lie it's pretty good especially for 40 baht that's really nice usually
if you go to like a upscale cafe in niman you're looking at like 100 to 110 120 baht sometimes
i got a roast and yum every day plug them again because they're my favorite and that's
like 65 baht so 40 baht for a coffee not bad first we're gonna go get something from
the restaurants across the street there's actually two big sheds
and one has all the restaurants and this one has all the fresh market so
let's pop over there and see what the prices are for food and let's continue the challenge
okay so we walked through this really big shed the ceilings are really high there's fans on
it's pretty hot in here but it's a hot day and you pick which one you like you sit down and people
are just walking through to the back but michael got a red pork with rice and i got a crispy pork
with rice came with a couple of sausages and the sauce on the side as well yeah let's see
what it looks like it was about 50 40 to 50 baht 40 baht i've got red pork with rice whatever that
sauce is i'm not quite sure what it is maybe if you know what that is let us know because
i get this quite a bit and my favorite there's actually a chinese sausage in there which is
awesome i really like them to the best i'm going to try and get a spoonful with red pork rice and
the chinese sausage let's see how we go the pork's okay it's a little dry i don't think be honest
okay so to be completely honest with you that was not the best meal that i've had in thailand
but the good thing about thailand is that the next meal is always even better so
let's keep looking we're going to go back into this shed and have a look around for
what we can get for the rest of our money this is really cool there's like a salad bar
and you just pick what you want and then you get like custom salad
there's corn lettuce oh there's dragon uh dragon fruit that's what i had in my thai fruits video
um it's on the screen now or down below go check that out because that was really fun to
do and now i can recognize what more of these are now because i've tried them what is that
well that looks like like white little worm things what's that one you guys suggested so many fruits
to me that i still don't know yet so i might have to do uh fruits part two when i try the other ones
as well i think that's like a custard apple so let me know in the comments if you want me to do
another thai fruits video and which thai fruits i should try but this one looks really funny
it's cool because you have desserts then you walk past and you have fruit and you have meat and
there's literally everything more meat and then there's those takeaway um like dinners or lunches
with like curry stir fries soups all that stuff and then you have chickens as well which still
make me a little bit squeamish but that's okay pineapple and watermelon okay and 10 and 10 20.
we're getting watermelon and pineapple 10 baht each so 25.
so we're to get these grilled coconut rice and there's one with banana taro and sweet potato
fried crab so they're 21 for all three just like a banana leaf and they have the filling inside so
yeah banana sweet tower and then sweet potato as well so how much eat were they 21 baht all
together okay so we have so far the coffee for 40 baht the grilled pork for 50 baht that's 90 baht
these all together were 21 baht so that's 111 baht plus the two fruits the 10 baht each
which is 131 baht so we have 49 51 61 about 40 left this one's something else okay so we're
walking along and we saw all of these bags bless you they're welcome of chips and i'm not sure
what flavors they are but i think purple means taro grapes grapes sweet potato sweet potatoes
mangosteen
that was so random we were just sitting here thinking we have 20 baht left and
we don't know what to get and the ice cream angel lady just turned turned up behind us
and all of a sudden we have ice cream so
wow she had some really cool flavors there was like sesame and like other things but i honestly
was craving mango so i'm gonna try the mango one okay so i open the bag and like immediately
smells like sweet potato or potato so it's definitely some kind of potato chip so let's try
okay they're okay it's sweet potato 100 sweet potato it's sweet and it's potato
we have chips that are like fat like chicken chips chips but these like homemade chips and
obviously you get the ones that hurt from like factory and stuff but homemade chips with potato
not bad for 20 bucks 20 baht's about 80 cents at home so
that's a that's a good bag of chips to be honest for 20 baht i'm pretty happy with that
okay so this is a banana leaf and it's wrapped up with sticky rice and then a filling we've mixed
them up so we're not sure which one it's a bit of a lucky dip but there's a banana a taro and
a sweet potato sweet potato what's a sweet potato today so let's try this one we're just going to
unwrap the banana leaf and see the sticky rice that's inside oh coconut rice coconut rice okay
i feel like that one's taro or banana yeah or potato i'm not i'm not sure but it's really
nice it's really sweet they're like coconut rice with the sweet filling it's just sweet rice it's
actually really nice all right it's definitely not uh easy to eat very sticky right now but this
one's definitely the banana one you can see the banana inside of it so the other one must be taro
it's very i don't want to say sticky because that's obvious it's like sticky coconut rice but
like mushy rice hard to explain it's very soft banana think of a soft banana
but they're a pretty good snack they were seven baht each so that's a
pretty big bargain if i do say for myself i think it's more commonly eaten for breakfast
but we're here in the afternoon all right i need to eat this mango before it melts
i smelt it and it's not really good it tastes so much like a mango
it tastes like a mango on a stick i didn't actually expect it to be very nice but it's
actually really good so also refreshing it's so hot today so this is a really nice like break
it's really nice the mango is it's so mangoey and i think that's really cool for 80 baht and
she just came around and delivered it to us 20 baht sorry 20 baht which is 80 cents it just came
around and delivered it to us so that's the winner in my book this is delicious i love that next time
maybe i should try like there's like a thai tea one or something i'll try that so that's it we
spent five dollars actually i think we went about one baht over which is pretty close i'm going to
call that a win if you ask me but make sure you do like and subscribe and if you like this video
i know you're going to like the one where i tried some thai fruits so i'm going to leave that on the
screen watch that one next it's really interesting it was the first time i've ever seen the thai
fruits and the first time i tried them go check that one out and i'll see you in the next one bye
