tonight we're heading to our first night market here in bangkok thailand yeah it's a pretty new
market and it looks like the biggest and probably the best one so far is what we can
see we've done a bit of research so yeah pretty excited to go see some local food
try some different stuff yeah so far the food that we've had has been absolutely amazing so
i'm really excited to see what they have there i'm interested to see how expensive it is too yeah in
comparison we just spent the last six months in bali so we sort of want to do a bit of a comparing
how much you can get for you know smaller amounts of money like you can in bali and
so far the food's been really fresh and really high quality for very affordable yeah and even
the beer is a bit cheaper we're just having a beer waiting for our grab in this local shop here yeah
near our hotel so good we we love it here so far we're trying to sort of dissect why we love
coming to places like this over like really nice pubs or bars we love it it's like a nostalgic
feeling if you look around you could be in the year 2000 2002 or something it's no different
i think that's what it is yeah and it feels like you're amongst the locals rather than just like
in a tourist bar or something yeah yeah feels like you're in someone's house almost i love it
all right we've just arrived at john fairs yeah it's like a pretty new uh market right in the
middle of the city and uh it's i think 600 food stalls there's clothes and stuff as well here
um looks awesome it's massive and it looks really modern and new as well yeah and clean
and our grab was really cheap to get here it's about 25 minutes to get here and i think it was
uh is it five dollars so good uh so far thailand's been a bit cheaper than bali for us which is
awesome yeah transport's been cheaper years cheaper healthier foods cheaper yeah
accommodations are even pretty cheap yeah yeah so we're going to do a little
wander and see what we can find and then we're going to go try some new foods yeah
small smile smile
after a while
i think if i was going to do shopping i would do it here yeah
rather than a shopping mall like there's so many cute clothes it's all super affordable
because everything here i really like it
this is so cool yeah
what's all this stuff here it's been a while
trying to eat some chicken
oh yeah
come
on it's a good start i don't know which one's which we're like three players
so good yeah it's like um
of them
oh i want that one
that was um
30 baht for all of that
so good
anything that has chili sauce on it and chicken chicken and chili sauce yeah fried fried chicken
i think those things are spinning around for the flies to stay away which is very smart yeah
and it's eye-catching as well free advertising street beer over there check out a street view yep
it's time for beer so we just got two chang tallies for um 65
baht each which i don't know they can't version because you know me i'll put it on the screen
or just pick one of those ones which one do you think
it's cheap too i can get that one
you've got chopsticks i'm gonna sit somewhere and eat it yeah this is hands down the coolest
market i've ever been to it doesn't feel like a market but it's super affordable it's
almost like being at a shopping mall but yeah affordable and you can walk around with a beer
i think it's like crab meat
crab meat noodles egg a bit of carrot lettuce
hopefully the lady there was helping us figure out how to order it yeah
and the other patrons
mandy had to figure out how to pay for it
i love thailand holy [ __ ] the food has just been incredible
what's in this one
i don't know
and that's how i like it i think it's like this rice flour with like corn and savory fillings
i don't know what it is but here we go i have no idea what i'm eating but
looks like beets maybe in there beets yeah it's like purple beet beetroot
is it good
it's really good
i was not expecting that
sweet or savoury but not too sweet like yeah we have to try really good
this one's like orange
it's good
sort of pancakey or like crepey
looks like gooey in the middle for yours yeah it's so good
i don't want another one eat it
yeah this one's really hot fresh oh the corn one yeah he gave us two of them
i love your happy eating face
i don't know if it's sweet or savoury it's not about right now it's like the perfect mix
the tiniest chairs
finishing off with some stir fried rice noodles with chicken
and chicken curry noodle soup with chicken and a water uh and then we'll grab get a grab home
it's so good unreal
have we eaten a bad thing since we've been here
so we just finished at the market it was absolutely awesome best market i have ever been to
so good there's so much food anything you want anything you can think of is there
and i'm not positive how much we spent we had a few beers and food and caught a grab here and back
i think we spent less than 50 bucks i need to add it up australian march 50 australian less than 50
trillion definitely worth it best market we've ever been to best food i'm just like blown away
by the food that we've been um experiencing since we've been here the past couple days
there's very happy literally every kind of food you can think of and it's so affordable and so
