along the vibrant chaproyah river lies a unique attractive landmark
that is a fascinating destination shangri-la bangkok i've been in thailand for more than
10 years and never experienced this hotel so today it's my first chance to check it

world where his mission is to make you enjoy the delicious food and keep you fit at the same time
mission impossible right well first let's meet chef daniel green
he is going to greet us in the most fascinating part of this hotel the horizon club lunch
that's amazing that's great normally have to be here at five o'clock for that
wow what a beautiful view
so chef daniel welcome to bangkok welcome thank you all nice to meet you sure well
i'm from england daniel green and i've lived in the u.s the last 18 years but i have such
uh connection with southeast asia and thailand particularly my cooking has been always unhealthy
i've had 12 cookbooks and everything has this kind of inspiration of what i found here in
thailand which was all about how you can have great flavor without all the fat and it was
just incredible moment for me and a lot of my career has come back here probably 60 times
so i've cooked for royalty i've cooked for the american ambassador twice at the resident here
i filmed for the travel channel in the u.s even thai outlook channel that was a network over here
a lot a lot of great things my first cookbook was just down the river over there that we shot
the book so lots of wonderful memories and i continue to come back and i always will
and it's one of the most special places i've ever been so i hope i can share a few of my
hot spots 60 times to thailand do you recommend tourists to come to thailand now is it a good time
and do you think that it will be better soon you know it's amazing that i was first time
back six weeks ago and i was following what you were saying and six weeks ago i think
if you love thailand it was still worth it it was still so worth it for me but there were quite
a few restrictions coming back now seeing that difference my goodness i wouldn't even think twice
about coming here i would just feel it hi how are you thank you it's a good time to come back now i
really think there's not much missing i mean you do see things start to expand and open a couple
of the hotels have got a few of their outlets closed so maybe not every restaurant's open
in all the big hotels yeah i feel it's a good time and i think you gave amazing information i
was on my treadmill dreaming of coming back and i would have recommended it for someone like me six
weeks ago 12 weeks ago but now i think everyone you know they do downstairs in a traditional
do you like the salted egg and they sometimes put not on this one but they sometimes put a little
bit of salt today oh my goodness i love it i was impressed that you know i always used to hear
chefs say that fat is flavor so they've never been to thailand so welcome home chef daniel
cheers this is the first of you tonight well after a nice conversation with chef daniel
and enjoying some wine and five-star hotel buffet with fascinating views on chopra river
i guess we had some idea about our host and the luxury that can offer this hotel to you
but that's not all i asked chef daniel to tell us why he chose to stay in this hotel and also
to show us little bit wrong because after that we are heading to silom area where chef daniel
will share with us another hidden french secret and experience in an international
cuisine before we start exploring siloam streets and of course the local thai dishes let's go
i love this it's a little bit of my tour of shangri-la my tour of bangkok
first time i came here was 1991 and this was the hotel i stayed at you know bangkok was so
exotic well it still is and i couldn't believe just the first time driving up this driveway
and seeing the opulence of this hotel yeah it's just magical just absolutely magical
so not much has really changed as i said they've done a few renovations they do like a sunday tea
dance here which if you're ever passing is so much fun to watch and the food's always been
fabulous we can actually have a little peek over here because i think we can see the swimming pool
there's the there's the pool and you see the thai house right next door yeah it's called salatip
it's their thai restaurant it's fabulous it's not open at the moment that's one of the things
uh with covert is they're kind of not operational completely i think that was one of the restaurants
they had closed for a bit then there's like a lobby bar that they have there they've got
a very famous chinese restaurant i want to take you to a place that's been an all-time favorite
french restaurant you wouldn't believe you're in bangkok and i think it's great value i think
it's incredible value um and then we'll kind of like go down the level of it maybe we'll try some
real street food too it's like now five-star hotel and now we are going to a restaurant
right french restaurant restaurant i would call it five-star a three-star price all right and
after that of course we are going to explore the real bangkok right yeah all right let's go
so this is restaurant bar indigo it's a french french it's a french owner
he actually is a butcher and he owns the shop opposite so so it's really authentic
so as you can see from the pictures how the entrance is so local motorbikes and how to find
and we will see what's the service inside right we'll take you to paris
hi thomas how are you nice to see you how are you
that's great thanks
so i'm gonna take what you recommend already it is good it's like i'll wait all right let's take it
all right so this is complimentary because you are a vip customer i i
well i don't know i think you are because i i had that before no
that's lovely thank you
so chef this is your favorite dish oh my gosh it's my favorite dish which is steak tartare it's
just like had a little spicy but it's soft how do you feel like i'm in paris welcome to paris well
that was really nice a tasty beef dish with some appetizers complimentary by the restaurant owner
and of course the wine now it's time to leave the luxury and explore siloam the real street vibes
of bangkok well chef we are online back we're back my goodness if i showed you a bit of my
thailand which uh i hope you enjoyed yeah this was chef's talent from french side of course yeah and
the food was fantastic the mood the ambiance was so calm and you were in the middle of bangkok
and you couldn't believe how we were feeling like we were in france but now we're going to
be in real thailand yeah yeah do thailand so we started our vlog from five star hotel after that
amazing restaurant and now let me show you where this restaurant is located exactly
oh look it's a london taxi yeah i love it taxi
i feel at home yeah
as a general idea siloam in bangkok is one of the most vibrant places
day and night and especially after sunset street food nightlife shopping and more so
we are going to see the real action and moreover taste some local dishes
well guys we have tried with chef daniel some local dishes and made comparison about the quality
and the price between five-star hotel into the real street food some of our dishes were pad thai
kalman guide the chicken with rice and the famous papaya salad
all in all chef's thought was fair you must try both of the classes and enjoy both the fast
food on the street and the classy food up there but concerning the prices well too high and low
so what do you think chef what's the difference between eating on the streets in thailand
and eating in five straw restaurants as you are used to be oh my goodness your all trips
are first class business class so what do you think the real thailand class oh i i can only
say i think you have to do a mix of it all right i mean you've got to try it because you can eat in
the most incredible hotels very inexpensively you can have a french restaurant like you're
in paris that's still affordable yeah and then you can have tastes like there are for nothing
and it's just out of this world so it's like such a choice it's like amazing so i think you
have to do it you have to know you need at least life you're coming to bangkok you need five days
but one day that's like full five star one day that's kind of mixing it up another day
the street food and then go back to your favorite right i love what you said i mean
one of the important things is don't be afraid of street food it really is so fresh because
people continually eat it continually refresh it so it's like really the best thing to do so
don't be afraid eat it alright guys that was the end of our today's vlog with chef danielle thank
