now that we're back in Bangkok we are taking the opportunity to visit
some old favorites and explore new places we've never seen before today
we're showing you some of the many reasons why Bangkok is so amazing
good morning today we are in the tonburi side of Bangkok which is a bit sort of west of the
river we're in talapu Market which is a place we've been before with Gary Butler the Roaming
Cook it's very early in the morning right now it's about 10 well that's not actually
that early but there's usually more Market stores here in the night but
we are going to grab a coffee here and some snacks before we do some exploring
all right let's see if I can order this. Wan (sweet)
I'm not gonna mess that one up. I like it sweet
two hot coffees, please. Sweet.
Thank you. I think I did a good job they're laughing I
don't know if that's like oh she knew what she was saying or like, what?
okay two hot coffees to start the day cheers
we asked for 'wan' which means sweet now I know a lot of you watching will be like what things
are already so sweet here we like our coffee very sweet strong coffee sweet coffee delicious
cheers I grew up not liking coffee but I think it's because I never put any sugar or milk or
anything like that in there now I like it we found the perfect formula just loads of sugar strong yes
I don't know what the sign says so hopefully that doesn't say don't
speak to me that's a smiley face yeah it's like don't speak to me make this that please smile
yeah oh it is yeah so we've had these Khanom bueang multiple times we've actually
also specifically had these exact ones and they're very good how many do you want my love
um just get more can I have uh four how do you say how do you say four okay see
the reason they asked if you want sweets or not sweets is because they actually also have
a prawn version they look very similar they're not the same don't mess it up
the non-sweet ones are sweet as well but they are made with shrimp so it's a little bit of a sort of
umami taste to it I guess pretty nice but again sweet stuff for us I don't know 100 if these are
actually Khanom bueang because they look different to some of the ones we've tried in the past either
that or they can have different fillings I know that they can have prawn and angel hair AKA egg
yolk but these also have coconut and not that creamy white stuff look at that it's probably
too noisy here to actually hear how crispy this is when I tuck in but here I go anyway
oh that is so sweet sorry this is so good the coconut meat in there
so tasty the whole thing super wholesome super delicious more of a dessert than a breakfast
for sure but when in Thailand you've gotta have snacks yeah this stuff is so good wow
so to come here you've obviously got to be appropriately dressed I've got my shoulders
covered my chest pretty much fully covered and my knees are covered I'm good to go this is the
first time we've actually put these masks on since being in Thailand because we've seen that
the mandates for masks has been removed but probably 90 of the people we see are wearing
masks so are you meant to be wearing one are you not then I don't know please let us know
that buddha statue is enormous yeah it's the biggest one I have ever seen
whoa so big my eyes are hurting looking up yeah it's so bright wow oh it's so shiny and gold as
well oh my God that is cool that is very cool I didn't expect it to be that big it's hard to see
from photos but if you hold on try to film me with the Statue and people will maybe get a bit of a
that'll do it much taller than me so this is wat paknam bhasicharoen Bangkok I think last time we were in
Bangkok it was just getting finished so we didn't actually get a chance to see it wow I'm glad we
did it is almost 70 meters tall and 40 meters wide massive it's almost the height of a 20-floor
building it is beautiful it is very impressive there is also a actual Temple here as well where
people are praying so we're not going to go in there just because of disrespect we're not
going to take the camera with us either sticking people's faces so we're just going to sit here and
appreciate how massive this thing is I actually can't see the top of it right now because it's so
tall the roof of the building above us is blocking it I don't think I've been this amazed in a while
because like with buildings like real skyscrapers you know you can see that they've you know they're
square and they're built like the same over and over and over but this is an actual statue of a
Buddha is carbed out. even his thumbnails are detailed very cool very very cool
this buddha even looks immense from behind

Do you want an egg inside?
No egg inside, thank you.
Is it sweet?
Not sweet. Delicious!
that's so good I love this dessert I love this original original with egg
We don't like, haha.
Ok, nevermind.
after that tuktuk ride we're now in the sort of Chinatown area of Bangkok both of
those tuk-tuks cost 100 baht each it's not so bad really for the sort of thrill
of going super fast around these really fun streets of Bangkok we've now come to
my favorite time of the day time for dessert we are sat in a place called Bua Loy Ket Kaew
not 100% sure how to say it
good and we're here for obviously at the bua loy now bua loy is my favorite Thai dessert mango
sticky rice can go home this is the winner every single day for me for numerous reasons
one very affordable two delicious sweet a little bit salty it's got everything you
want and it's hot which you might not want on a hot day but it's raining a little bit
it's perfect so what bua loy actually means in Thai is technically floating water lily or
Lotus it's got these colorful floating balls inside which are made from rice flour and
they're kind of like sticky starchy it's also got little bits of Taro in there I'm pointing
at and some corn also there's some coconut Meats in there which you can see here and
then we've got the sort of hot coconut milk which is sweet sometimes a little bit salty
oh it's just so delicious I've been talking about it for so long I'm actually I just want to tuck in
oh my God that's so good oh that's so good that is really really good it's like sweet a little bit
salty super creamy warm oh that is so good if you haven't tried this or if you think it looks kind
of funny just try it anyway it is you won't regret it it's so tasty it looks kind of strange really
um but now that you've seen this video You're
Gonna Come to Thailand you really have to try this honestly oh my God
sticky balls are so sticky wow that's better than I remember it
oh this is better than any of the ones I've had before wow but this is why we
love Bangkok you can get history culture food at any corner and if you love Bangkok
as much as we do then you'll want to watch the video on the screen next
