today we have a pretty big announcement but first we're gonna go to a local market to pick out and
try some saiua which is local northern thai sausage and a few other foods we can find in
the market then we have something to share with you at the end of the video a little bit later
we are officially make sure to stick around to find out our thoughts on the northern sausage and
also what we have to tell you let's go hi my name is josie and welcome back to my channel or welcome
if you are new here i can't believe i've been here in chiang mai for five months and i have not had
a northern thai sausage yet so make sure you stay tuned and see my reaction and how i like it it is
quite quiet at the moment and i like it that way so let's have a look through here eat some thai
sausage okay so we had just entered the market and we saw there was a couple of things of sticks of
pork or beef or something and then there's this lady who was selling sort of chopped up what is
this crispy pork i don't know soft crispy pork cut up already in a bag it was a sea sip but which is
40 baht um so a little bit on the expensive side but i think it's going to be really nice and she
really liked our tie she asked if we wanted any like sticky rice and i was like mayo and she was
like oh so let's try some of this first and we haven't eaten today so this should be really good
oh a bit sweet i feel like a bit of a little bit sweet you know what it kind of reminds me of like
jerky yeah cool not as like obviously dry as jerky but oh that's that's really nice okay i like this
that's really good the like juice and the flavor is really nice it's not crispy like the outside
isn't crispy but it's like sort of lukewarm and juicy i like it
it's almost like a cold cut it's got a cold cut of like yeah yum yes don't eat it all i want some
so this market actually reminds me a lot of siri watana market in santa m i think it's just the way
all of the like benches are set up with everything like that but it's really cool because this one's
a little bit more local it's a little bit further out than chiang mai so i don't think you'd really
able to kind of get here if you didn't have a bike um but it's a lot more local it's a bit
of a weird time in the afternoon so it might just be quiet because of that i'm sure this is so busy
in the mornings um but right now it's quite quiet it gives me a lot more time to sort of
have a look at things and see what there is as well i'm on the hunt for a milo to milo ice so
let's have a look and see if we can get one i love my milo isis trying to find some milo
so
so i went outside of the market um and i found this like another market thing but it just seems
to be full of chairs and seating for some sit-down food so they have them lined on the outside and i
found a stall that does drinks so i'm just looking and they have milo so i'm so excited let's go get
one so it's super local here um i was so proud of myself because i ordered some podca power just
then and i was like pad compound she's just like and i was like yes shy because that means pork i
love that anyway i've been here too long i should know that already but we have some really cool pad
for power now like i said when you come out of sort of like the main tourist areas the price is
a lot obviously more local it's a lot better this is probably one of the cheapest per pounds we've
had so it was 45 baht with the egg um usually when we go in niman is anywhere from like 65 varnish
with the egg so you get a little bit of a cheaper price the more local you go usually but let's see
if it's uh any good oh but first let's tell me my marlo this was 20 baht that's really good for milo
that's a good milo oh that's a good milo i'll never get over milo i've been here for six months
i'm pretty sure that's half the reason my clothes don't fit me anymore because i just have a mile
all the time this is delicious let's try this pad kapow and then we're gonna get on
and find the northern thai sausage so i have the pad crepe out here and we did say uh nidano spice
so i can see a little bit of chili i'm just going to get some of the parchment with the
egg and the rice on my fork all right let's try this a little bit nervous from the chili
oh it's tasty yeah it's a bit spicy the flavor is really good it's quite juicy if i had this when
i first came to thailand i think i would have cried again because i did cry on my first day
when i ate something spicy so it's actually pretty easy now that i've had the really really spicy one
plus they gave us this side of soup which i never actually eat or drink do you like do you actually
eat or drink it because i feel bad taking it i never drink it or eat it so yeah what do you do
with it do you eat it like like on the side with the with the spoon or do you mix it in i don't
know tell me what to do with this soup okay so we're done with the pad krapow and we're back
in the like i guess normal market and that was a delicious milo so we had a little sustenance
break now we're back here and we're on the hunt for this northern thai sausage so we're looking up
and down these things like i said this really does remind me of steroids there must be heaps of these
local markets everywhere i think there's one sort of in every suburb kind of thing oh is that it
what is it banana oh sausage get that as well get that as well yeah yeah okay i have that one
one okay so i have no idea what this is meant to taste like or anything like that
it's saiua which is like a northern thai sausage around like chiang mai chiang rai mae hong song
area and then like border of myanmar as well so we've got about eight or nine pieces here
or maybe eight for about 40 baht and then we also got our special little something as well so stick
around to find out what we've got after that but it also includes the sausage so let's see it does
smell very interesting so just to say i don't actually like sausages
so this is a bit of a funny thing for me to taste i think that's why i've gone like
five months in chiang mai without having one so let's just have a go it does smell
it smells very like herby like there's also like obviously herbs in there or something let's go
oh no it's spicy
oh no okay orange juice could be spicy it's definitely no then okay it's so spicy there's
a milk tea place right there don't be using money around okay so um there's lots of there's lots of
herbs in there so i can see like i think they're onions or something like that if you know what's
actually in sayua let me know in the comments below but it looks like it looks very homemade
it looks like they've made it themselves and it's got like the like obviously chili's little bits of
like onions herbs and then the casing is quite prominent so it looks like it's been like hand
rolled or something like that do we like yellow mustardy sort of color as well it's not like the
brown such as like you expect them yeah there's so much flavor and then here comes the spice you
get about three seconds of amazing flavor and then your tongue on fire which is so consistent
with food from this sort of area i like it i could eat all this i just need a drink as well
now we have to try the next thing which i'm a bit worried about so i think there's sausage cooked
inside this banana leaf and it smells exactly like coal so obviously he's like cooked over an
open fire or something like that we've gotten some things from thailand before that are like
this they're normally filled with like taro or banana or something like that okay so we've just
opened up the banana leaf and open them all up to reveal this like the paste of the sausage so
this is what the stuffing would be without the casing i would assume so it'd be the inside of
what's in the sausage and i can still see chili in this so i might only have like a really small bite
hmm yeah okay now it starts getting spicy it does taste really good you know what oh there it is
it just tastes really good okay i'm done so make sure to leave your thoughts on the thai sausage
northern thai sausage down in the comments below and if it's even spicy for you i think it's just
me it's i think it's just me but just a friendly reminder we do have a big announcement coming in
the video now so make sure you stay tuned you're going to want to know what this is and i'll see
you then it's been six months now since we packed up our house at home we said goodbye to our dog we
got on a plane we traveled across the world across the seas and basically moved to thailand but now
our visa is up so we are officially leaving thailand but not for long i think that's the most
important thing to remember is we aren't going for very long what does that mean what's next
well we are heading out tomorrow on a plane um to a destination that isn't thailand for the
first time in six months we've been on lots of planes in thailand domestically but this will be
the first one that we go to that is international and from there we do have a couple other plans in
place but nothing's actually set in stone but the thing that is set in stone is that we do
have to come back to thailand michael has a few appointments here so he won't be gone for long
um but we do have to leave for a while explore a couple of other countries or a couple other places
and then we have to come back to thailand as well not that we have to we want to
we want to but that's sort of the plan and then once we come back we can obviously get a new visa
before we came to thailand we thought six months was a perfect amount of time to see everything we
wanted to see probably a bit too long even yeah it wasn't enough thought would see it all but
we haven't so we definitely have to come back and do more and i know a lot of you are telling me in
the comments go here and do that and we have all intentions of doing that we just kind of ran out
of time this time just with the rainy season and everything like that it wasn't every time we tried
to leave to go somewhere like pie or isaan or it started raining um so i think it's not worth doing
that when you can't get the most out of the trip um we have gone places before and we've gone and
we've spent 80 percent of the time inside because it was raining and then we couldn't do the things
we wanted to do or film the things we wanted to film or experience the things that we wanted to
experience so i think it would be worth it coming back um after rainy season and being able to do
things properly like the way thailand deserves to be shown if that makes sense you'll probably
always be relating things back to thailand and and the experiences here because this is kind of
our second home and it's as i said the first place that you've been that isn't a western country no
matter what you guys were the people who believed in me from the start and this is where everything
started for me so there's no doubt that we'll be back and be back many many times okay so obviously
there's a whole bunch of things that we haven't done yet or we didn't have time to get to and we
definitely want to do that but i think that it's important to sort of maybe like share our favorite
parts about what we have done in thailand since we've been here for so long yeah what was yours
a few things really early on in bangkok going to the port fc game and going through kong toy market
you guys know i love football josie doesn't love football but the whole vibe to that was so
different to the chiang mai game that i'm used to and then my second favorite thing um was actually
the first trip that we did outside of the two major cities we were in which was chiang rai
i've had a really really good time in chiang rai and seeing the golden triangle i really liked the
trip to chai chai light or orchard orchid orchid where we saw like the elephants and we stayed
there overnight and we woke up to the elephants in the morning and we fed them and we went
we met one of the mahouts tiger and he's been so cool he's been sending us updates of the little
baby elephant ronaldo that we met playing with him in the water and everything like that and now
he's shooting water at you with his nose that was just like the coolest experience for me i
think that's like just thailand in general i think that i've learned so much from being in thailand
i just want to thank you all for for subscribing so early and and to my channel and to see my
adventures here in thailand and where i started and you guys will always be the first that
believed in me and suppressed that subscribe button and no matter where i go in the world
i'll always remember thailand as where this all started for me and what you guys have done for
me um but like i said it's not a goodbye it's just uh we'll see you very shortly yeah for the
first one yeah not that long away actually about a month but then you'll be seeing other countries
from now basically it's actually quite scary for me to leave thailand because it's the only place
that i've been so make sure you keep watching my videos i'll be back to thailand but i will see
new things and i think that's what life's about so i understand that some of you may leave me
i hope that you don't i hope that you watch my travels i hope you watch food and culture
and me experiencing all those things in another place and remembering i will be back in thailand
i'll pretty much i think always come back to thailand but as for where we're going next
i hate to do this to you but you'll just have to wait for the next one
make sure you do like and subscribe make sure you leave in the comments below what countries
you want me to go to where you think we're going as well leave that down below and i'll talk to
you in the comments again thank you so much for all of this and i'll see you in the next one bye
