This is ours. Let's go. Welcome to Greg and Jumi Cribs: Overnight Train Thailand Edition
First thing we always want to do is spray the places.
This is a really cool overnight train. Supposed to take
15-16 hours. It's 2:30 this train leaves right now from Bangkok. We're supposed to arrive in Hat Yai
at around 7AM. I've always wanted to do something like this. We're so excited. Yeah we've always
wanted to train travel and land travel wherever we are in the country. This is what we're going to do.
We are going to travel on land slow and yeah so we're here at our train station.
Rice paddies everywhere, palm trees and mountains.
It's Greek food for dinner. This time is actually our left
over. So if you're going to watch our video for that Greek food in Thailand.
There's tzatziki, tyrokafteri (the feta dip), olive dip
Souvlaki. Chicken souvlaki and pork souvlaki. The bread. And in here - lamb chops, baby! Lamb chops
Good morning from Hat Yai. Slept a long time overnight.
Woke up just before we had to get off. Did you sleep well?
Decently. Woke up a couple times, but it was a pleasant journey. I would definitely do it again,
Definitely. It's way better than being on a plane or an overnight bus that is for
sure. So many benefits to it. It's a hotel and transportation all in one. Very pleasant.
Now we're at Pakbara Pier. We're about to go to Koh Lipe.
Tarutao National Park you pay an entrance fee 200 baht per person.
Waiting to board our ferry and get out of here and move to the island life
Finally here. Oh what a long day of travel. We started yesterday at 2:30PM and now it's
2:30 p.m in the afternoon. 24 hours of travel to get to this beautiful island that we can't wait
to show you. And since that oh a long travel day, now it's time for food. Now it's time to eat. We are
starving. Like the last time we ate was last night and here's the first batch. This is bamboo shoot,
morning glory, fried eggs, my rice. Bamboo laap. It smells really good. Yeah like a vegetarian laap.
Fried fish panang curry and sticky rice with fried shallots.
That looks amazing. Oh my gosh
Wow. We sure love our fish. That's right. Especially with this Thai flavor with the
panang curry. We were starving obviously. Wow we did good. We did. Tore it up.
It's officially your birthday. It is. What do you think? Funny that it's been my birthday
most of the day. I mean US time just a few hours ago. This time last year my birthday
we were in lockdown stuck in an apartment room, small apartment
in KL. 365 days later who would have thought we would be here walking on the streets of Koh Lipe.
Street food walking tour in Koh Lipe. That's a good way to celebrate a birthday for sure. This is your birthday
and we'll do what you love to do best. Oh this smells good. There goes Greg getting satay. Chicken
skewer looks so good. Nice and yellow. It smells incredible like we had to buy it.
How's that? It's juicy. I just got a little bit of chicken skin too. Nice char, but not too much. It's
like a little sweet. Delicious. Definitely can eat like 10 of these no problem. 20 baht each, can't go wrong.
We just stumbled upon this stall selling grilled pork. Looks amazing. Looks like it's covered in
like a laap seasoning. We're gonna figure that out, but it looks great. Of course we're gonna order it
It's kinda like a little like kind of sour and spicy. Juicy
New York and KL.
The last two places we were. Home. Second home. Or third or fourth or fifth.
There's just too many long tail boats. Don't think I've ever seen so many long tail boats in my life.
We've been in Thailand before. Like this is crazy. it's probably a few hundred - maybe 100 here.
How's your birthday so far? It's good. It's relaxing, just chilling here on the beach.
Got a beer, got some food all day. All day long, eating food on the street. This is good.
Definitely beats last year being locked down in a room for weeks.
Coolest tree house ever. On the beach. Wake up with this view - amazing.
So we're done at the beach. Let's see what we have here.
So what's this? Fish cake. Oh it's good
Fish cake. It's got a great aroma.
Great aroma. There's this orange color. I saw it yesterday. I was eyeing it. Really wanted to try it. Got it today
That lime leaf flavor is so good. It's so hot and fresh. I love it
I love spots like this that are making everything fresh. Also some fried greens here. It looks like basil.
Fried basil, cucumber, a little sauce she added in here. A lot of flavor in here. I'm about to finish it all.
She puts it into a ball.
Chinese radish with peanut. Really interesting. Sticky outside, chewy outside.
Wow! It is a different - totally different scene when it's nighttime.
It's like almost impossible to walk or to cross the road.
And about to get our dinner. Now it's dinner time. Eyeing this spot since yesterday. Walking by I can
smell the aroma from the broth down the street. They're cooking it right in front of the shop. So
we've got this nice yellow noodle. Interesting - almost looks kind of like a wantan mee in a way. You have
meatballs, beef tendon, chunks of beef, looks like morning glory. This broth looks nice and beefy. Let's try the broth.
Five spice taste. Very beefy. Yeah it's got five spice flavor, very beefy. I love it.
But I think I'll add the condiments to it to really kick it up, the spice level.
Oh really adding the chilies really kicks it up to the next level. I love it
I've already been sweating because it's really hot and humid here. I think after being in quarantine for
a few weeks and not being out so much, it's getting me. But this beef soup now with the chili is definitely
gonna make me sweat more. I love the crunchy element of the morning glory here too
and add the veggies. We also add our veggies when we can.
But that beef is so nice and tender and those chewy tendons with it too.
I'm really digging the broth. Sweet, savory, beefy. Anisey. Anisey?
I don't know, I'm making it up
That's why it's good sometimes you got to trust your nose. And my nose did not fail me
walking by this place. Good stuff. And it's Halal. So if you eat Halal, you can come here too.
Dinner was good and delicious. Dessert time
One jackfruit and one mango, please.
It's yogurt at the bottom
Freshly made. Fresh made. Freshly made yogurt.
How's your jackfruit? It's good. Jackfruit goes well in a smoothie.
Alright so we're back in our hotel now. And I know it's a different vlog style that we do, but
we're in an island. Today has been very spontaneous actually. Like we didn't plan to do anything. This
is our first day out and it's Greg's birthday. So let me ask the birthday boy. Let me give you
the floor, birthday boy. Funny - usually I do research for this, but we just kind of strolled
around and saw what looked good. Everything was good in its own way. I think I'm gonna go
with the fish cake because that was something I've never had like that before. Beef noodle close
second. But the fish cake because it's fried fresh in front of you and that lime leaf flavor. I'm a
huge fan of lime leaves. That thing won it for me. I think we'll go back at least two more times before
we leave, that's how good it was. We are gonna end the vlog here. Hope you enjoyed watching our day .
Our impromptu little street food crawl here in Koh Lipe. It's not
known as a food destination because it's a pretty island. But you know
what, there's some pretty good food to be found around here.
