My name’s Gary and I’ve been living in Bangkok for the past five plus years and travelling Thailand for over ten. I’m obsessed with Thai street food and it’s that obsession that led me to start this KZbin channel. I want to share my favourite hidden spots in Bangkok and the rest of Thailand so you can fall in love with authentic, local Thai food as much as I have!
I’ve never understood travelling to a town or city and not eating the local food. How else do you really connect with a place? Let’s get out and explore together and I guarantee you’ll find a whole different side to this wonderful country.
If you love seeing off the beaten path, non-touristy, local life and authentic local life in Bangkok and Thailand then this is the channel for you. If go go bars on the Sukhumvit Road are more your thing (I’m not judging) then maybe not!

[@kazmanjou]

I went there yesterday night and indeed this is next level Pad thaï. For me what makes the whole difference is the use of fried dried shrimps (koong het tord). Regarding the sauce, I’d say there is some kind of nam prik pao. And the guy’s wok skills are worth a visit!

[@caffeineSeeker]

We are traveling to Thailand late December and discovered your channel recently as part of our usual street food research plan. So impressed with the way you engage with your local Thai community and your passion for great street food. This video tonight cemented that! My wife commented that we cannot go wrong if we eat every meal based on your content. We try to exclusively eat street food when traveling! So your insights are invaluable! I reckon we might be heading to this place for our first meal!

[@theroamingcook]

Thanks Michael, I'm glad you guys found me. I'm feeling the pressure a bit now though 😅 Where are you staying?

[@caffeineSeeker]

Silom - found a small new hotel down a back alley near Sala Daeng road. Picked it by doing a Google street view wander for food stalls. Later we found your Silom videos and were very chuffed!

[@eddies8174]

@@caffeineSeeker Michael would you be kind enough to share the hotel name price n location please.

You should also watch Pattaya Doyle on KZbin as he has traveled to all 77 provinces and videoed it in 4k

I want to go to Thailand after seeing this video​​♥♥♥

[@chesperjoghnepang]

Having salivated over your videos for months, Gary, I did a last minute detour to BKK to savour some of the great Thai fare that you'd featured and recommended. Being Asian myself and having been to BKK gazillion times in my lifetime, and having lived in BKK for a short year and a half, I'd never quite fancied Pad Thai for some unknown reason, until tonight. My first meal in BKK. Although not quite the traditional version--I had the one with two large prawns topped with "snacks", and it sure didn't disappoint. Narok Taek's version is a heavenly marriage of sweet, tangy, savoury and spice (from the devilishly spicy chilli flakes that got unceremoniously blown into my eye), with an unexpected blast of wok-hei (char to the westerners) and crunch from the "snacks" I'd definitely be back to Narok Taek at my next visit to BKK. YUMMERS! ❤ Off to your other recommendations tomorrow--the Pad Kra Pow at the Original PKP 1993, and a handful from Talat Phlu, until my ever-growing belly. Keep up your good work, mate! ❤❤❤

[@Nobbeh]

That pork looks so good, really need to get down to Thailand soon

[@theroamingcook]

You need to come!

[@karenjones2620]

💯 THE best pad thai in the world. Cheers Gary 🙌

[@theroamingcook]

Hands down!

[@karenward9606]

By far the best pad Thai I have ever eaten. It was such a delight. Came to the table so hot on the sizzle plate. Topping excellent. We bought our own beer and sat inside. Honestly I don’t think I’ll ever experience this until next time I come from Australia. I thanked chef when I left and he was so kind and gracious ❤

[@theroamingcook]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it Karen

[@mariechin-quee43]

My husband and I had pad thai from this wonderful cowboy. His pad thai was delicious and his wok skills was amazing. Thank you

[@oywatters9415]

Awww... you're so well loved 🥰 and you look very content in today's vlogging 😊 Pad-thai dish is to die for! My afternoon is complete, so enjoyable, thank you 🙏

Thank you so much Oy. Yeah, this is my happy place for sure 😃

[@user-bs4vb8vh6m]

Lat Ya when I was young, there were full of ancient sukiyaki on both sides of the street in the commercial building. But nowadays, there are only Jim-Jum restaurants along the road. I counted more than 16, but there are still some old sukiyaki restaurants left. The road that comes from ICONSIAM and turns into Lat Ya Road.

[@tayster55]

Quality vlogging of the highest order. Emotion and enthusiasm you can feel, food to die for. Excellent work, my friend. Take a day off, you’ve earned it

[@theaprum1]

Delightfully fun and charming presentation as usual. Pad thai is definitely my favorite Thai dish.

[@MagicDragon]

That Pad Thai for me he cook the right one for noodel from i saw in this clip the noodle might strick and soft like that not dry and you can feel how soft and juicy that i love to cook like this too and the chelf he put more interesting with many flaver and texture on in one plate that look so yummy and amazing , also the first met from both of you from long time no see that so lovely ... can see how he missed you, seem he is a very nice person one.

[@Unplugged704]

Thanks Gary! Another great video! We’ll be there in a few weeks. Will go support your friend Alex. Will tell him you sent us 👍😂

[@johnpower5001]

Hi Gary. Thanks for all the videos. Has help my wife and I heaps while we've been here this time. Today we started by visiting the street food vendors you and Joe Parilla featured a day or so ago along the banks of the canals. Unfortunately the crab place was closed but we enjoyed the other three. Just to top off our day we went out to the eat at the Pad Thai place in this video. This guy can sure work a wok. The meal was delicious. A version of Pad Thai all his own. We let him know your video had inspired us to eat there. Thanks again for all the tips. Cheers John🙏

Great video Gary, Pad Thai looks amazing 🤩!!We are heading over the pond in 2 days! Our kids (11 and 13)have no clue to the morning we leave. So, sooo looking forward to trying out some amazing dishes! 1st night Bangkok, 5 nights Chiang Mai, 1 night Hat Yai, then off to Ko Lipe for a few nights. Then back to Bangkok. Super exciting! Haven’t been to Thailand since 2008❤

[@theroamingcook]

I hope you enjoy it!

[@eswillie]

That! was a special one. I wish I still had my Thai "river cowboy" hat that I brought back to the states with me (it used to be worn by the guys with the long boats and the huge eight cylinder Chrysler hemis and Ford V-8s). That being said, his version of Pad Thai was spectacular, and I was hoping for a look at that fermented sausage later. If and when I get back there, I'll need you to ferry us around Thon Buri and the environs since I still never forced myself to read Thai, although I can speak a little of it (nitnoy).

[@vachanavuttivongpravit8968]

Gary…you are amazing much more than pad Thai..you have know Thai food deep in the details more than real Thai people like me…super cool bro..

[@theroamingcook]

Thank you bro 🙏

Agree- best Pad Thai I've ever had. I've shown this to some Thai chefs. Their feedback is to tell the guy to take care of his wrists and arms or he'll get carpal tunnel syndrome.

Absolute banger, Gary. Nice one mate. 👍

[@Vapour85]

Just had this based on your recc! I'm one of those guilty of dissing pad thai as a touristy dish. This has singlehandedly converted and destroyed any other version for me. Not sure if i'll be able to have pad thai anywhere else after this. Had it twice on my recent trip. I'll be thinking about it for awhile.

[@theroamingcook]

It absolutely killed pad Thai for me like you say! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🙏
