welcome or welcome back if you are new here i'm josie and today i'm going to take you through
to the southgate market we're going to get some food i'm going to show you some of my
first impressions i've never been here before before we get there we're walking through the
saturday night market at the moment so if you've never been to chiang mai
this is a must-see i have done a couple of videos on them before i'll leave them in the
description bar below but we had to walk through here to get to the southgate market so this is
a beautiful market in chiang mai now let's go have a look at the southgate and what food they
have there some apple watch just came up as we're walking from one side of the market to the other
and apparently it takes 15 minutes to walk from one side to the next one so fun fact
this is a really cool market it's um sort of around the outside there's lines it's lined sort
of with cards and they have chairs and tables behind them and you kind of pick your food and
then go see it in the tables and chairs but it's a really cool atmosphere and i feel like i don't
know i feel like it's really cool oh sorry i mean everyone's away again standard and i'm crossing
the road so there's also some on this side of the road over here but we're all just over there
i'm going to have a look around but there was basically like tom yum soups
fruit shakes things like that i'm just going to have a look over what's this side before i
start and make up my mind i'm not sure exactly what i feel like today so
so i think i'm gonna get just like a stick of pork or whatever it is to start off with pork pan
i got a skewer of pork i don't often get them but i just want a little bit
of protein um 10 baht for a little stick and it's just i guess you get these almost at
every night market they're really popular but for a reason they're really good so
honey glaze or something sweet cotton milk
tastes like honey tell me in the comments below is this milk or honey glaze because
tastes like sweet to me almost like maple syrup
can't go wrong with them okay so we just had the pork stick on the other side of the road
but we've come back over to this side that has the stalls all around the outside and
sort of all the clothes and everything and then you sit in the middle um so over this side just
to get sort of a main dish before it gets too dark yes spring rolls should i get a spring roll
vegetarians out there with maybe some options of what you can get but
thank you
it's this time of year where songkran's coming up which if you don't know is basically a
what two or three day giant water festival and thai new year so that's coming up this weekend i
think um so it's getting busier and busier because michael was telling me that people come to chiang
mai to participate participate in the festival and everything so it's a little bit busier basically
everywhere than normal people take holidays to come here for the time and everything like that
thank you food came while i was telling you about smoke but basically people get like a
whole week off work which like never happens for them basically so they come here from like bangkok
everywhere to come for the songkran festival and i've heard this year because it's still
you know the world and we might not be able to do the water part of things which i don't think
we are is it we're not it's not it's off okay so the water party's off which i was really
upset about because i was really excited to go buy like a water gun and anyway a bit sad about
that but it is what it is before i eat my crispy rice and pork which i'll show you in a second
i want to eat my vegetable spring roll so i'm going to have a bit of this
hopefully falling apart on my stick can you see ah
still warm that's my favorite but it's still a little bit warm had a couple of you in my
comments asked me about vegetarian options i'm not vegetarian by any means but i did see this
so i thought if you're vegetarian it might be an option for you to find the vegetarian skin well my
cameraman is under the weather aka michael he had his wisdom teeth out the other day so
he's on some pretty heavy pain medication right now so if we're struggling off to the side then
you know why i'm gonna get a fruit shake michael likes watermelon 20 bucks for this
tastes literally like a watermelon which is funny because that's all it's made of i tried the sauces
just like a quick dip to see if they're um spicy that one's sweet chili but the chili's
still a little bit chilly so we're gonna have this we're gonna have the crispy fried chicken first
it's so soft oh that's that's good
that is nice that is crispy but still like really soft
rice is fluffy if the rice is good it has a really nice fried chicken let's try the crispy pork
some of it was a bit chewy but that's crispy pork you're going to get that with the fats
i like it that's not the best crispy crop i've had i won't lie but the fried chicken is like
really good you get the red pork right which is this stuff but you get the chinese sausage
and the chinese sausage is so tasty if you had it before you
know what i mean it's so good it's a bit of sauce on the chinese sausage
i've always watched it oh yeah chinese sausage has a little bit of like a sweet taste to it it looks
like a sticky glaze it's just so good okay it got dark like real dark like really quickly i'm on the
hunt now for some dessert we finished the dinner it was really good um i just can't find many
dessert places around here so i'm not sure where i'll go but i'm on the hunt for it i do see some
what is that come on crap come crap cut them crop close enough across the road
but we've had that in the videos a couple times so i'm not sure if i want that this marker bat might
be a little bit more busy than usual just because it's on a saturday night this market's on every
night that i know of but the saturday night market which we went through at the beginning that's only
on on saturdays so i feel like this has like overflow of people coming from there on the
same day okay we're just wandering down on the other side of the market just for some dessert
i haven't really found anything this obviously is like a really food focused one i guess it's right
in the middle of the like moat as well it's really pretty they have these bain marie's here just full
of food and duck under and there's heaps of heaps of tourists here right now like we were eating
dinner and we're all like just talking about how many tourists we see now and when we came here a
few months ago there's virtually no one so that's a really good sign there's those pancakes we had
them in a few vlogs now so i'm going to skip them if there's a dessert that i haven't tried yet let
me know in the comments because i need to try it banana and milo and the condensed milk thank you
bye i love how they do this i love watching it it is so cool
so they've laid out the roti and then they put the fillings in it they put it in the plan fry it up
looks like we're going with mango sticky rice he just had his wisdom teeth out
like i said so i think i could be soft enough for him uh mangrove stickers what
i'm going to get a bit of a little limb here i think i've bought mega cigarettes from that
lady when i was here like four years ago really yeah i remember the signage that's
why i wanted to go there and it was really good it was the first time i ever had it so
so we have the mango sticky rice here and as normal there is the sticky rice with the mango
that's in the name and then one time like before i thought it was a sweetened condensed
milk that goes over the top but someone told me in my comments it's actually coconut milk
um and then you have like nuts to go with it but we could get the bag open so but michael says
it's really good to have taste come on getting you more mango your winter yeah there you go
well that's good yeah hmm
that's a good mango sugar rice your mango sticky rice is predicated entirely on house
how juicy the mango is yeah and soft the juicier the mango everything else can be average and
it's all saved by that yeah it's really good so doesn't be the one we had at john faire's market
at the very beginning yeah that was the best one that was the best one i'll link it up here okay
now time for me to try my roti i got the banana roti with milo and condensed milk for 35 baht
that is really good
it's like coated they cook the banana inside it and then like put the milo on top
that's really nice the banana has like melted into like caramelization
that's dangerously good i'm gonna finish this whole thing
that is the softest thing i've ever put in my mouth in like three days it's so nice to eat
so we um wanted to find a coffee and there wasn't any there i looked and i couldn't find a stand or
anything so we're actually going to head back through the saturday night market that we came
through with to begin with i know there's coffee there i've got a coffee before so we're just going
to head back into there the line is so long though and it's 7 30 at night so if you want to get in
before then that's probably a good idea have a espresso okay my one sugar please
can i can i practice thai i say my size num
all been helping me with how to order no sugar or condensed milk in my coffee so thank you so much
um but i still have to practice and remember that one first
okay
for espresso thank you come okay
there's a bag over there and while we're waiting to get the coffee this group of thai girls walked
up to the bag which is near like it has like a dog uh what is it it's like donate for some dogs
um and they said something on one of the bags and they were laughing their heads off they were
finding it the funniest thing in the world and we translated it with a thing and it said like
pellet dog for a big dog or something pellet bag for a big dog so i don't know if the translate was
wrong but it looks funny to everyone else but now he's flipped it over it must have must have been
fancy maybe i don't want to show you just in case because i don't know what it says in thai but
oh it's still hot i'm not as hot as bank off here though which is relieving
oh that's nice and you use the right saying because you got the right milk for the first
time yeah that's yum and you also told me they call it scm so that's really cool to
know because sometimes the espresso yin i think i sound like to australia when i say it but anyway
so apparently um when i was getting my coffee there was a couple of thai girls behind me doing
like a a hand sign or something like that um tell me what that is but don't tell me if it's
offensive no tell us about it actually yeah tell me i want to know what they what what it means
in thai i don't know run the clip now and zoom in what is it it's like donate for some dogs
