About Pad Thai:
Origins:
Chinese Influence: While Pad Thai is considered a quintessential Thai dish today, its origins have strong ties to Chinese cuisine. It is believed that Chinese traders introduced rice noodles to Thailand, where they were adapted and transformed into various Thai dishes, including Pad Thai.
1930s Creation: The modern version of Pad Thai is said to have been created during the 1930s in an effort to promote Thai nationalism and a sense of identity. Then-Prime Minister Plaek Phibunsongkhram, also known as Phibun, sought to modernize Thailand and encourage the consumption of rice noodles to reduce rice consumption and increase national identity.
Influence of Plaek Phibunsongkhram:
Nationalistic Policies: Phibun implemented various nationalistic policies, including a campaign to change the country's name from Siam to Thailand, promoting the Thai language, and encouraging the adoption of Thai cuisine.
Pad Thai Promotion: As part of this effort, Phibun promoted Pad Thai as a national dish. He established cooking schools to teach people how to make it and encouraged street vendors to sell it.
Evolution and Popularity:
Economic Changes: Pad Thai gained popularity as Thailand experienced economic changes and urbanization. It became a popular street food because it was affordable, quick to prepare, and delicious.
International Spread: In the latter half of the 20th century, with the rise of tourism and the spread of Thai restaurants around the world, Pad Thai gained international recognition and became one of the most well-known Thai dishes globally.
THIS IS REAL BANGKOK STREET FOOD!

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!
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!

ประเทศไทยมีอาหารพื้นบ้านที่อร่อยมากๆ ที่ไม่มีขายตามโรงเเรม ภัตตาคาร ร้านอาหาร อาหารพื้นบ้านไทยอร่อยมาก อาหารประจำท้องถิ่น แซบเว่อร์😊

[@thaitraveller77]

Pad Thai Narok Taek is out of this world! It even made my Thai wife ( who is not a Pad Thai lover at all) fall in love with his version Friendly guy too🙂

[@byebyeblue]

Pad Thai Narok Taek is so good, they may not have a long history but their foods are worth it!

[@wisjanta]

Can’t wait! Will be in Bangkok in a week! Keep up the great work Gary 🤝

[@theroamingcook]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@kasiwawa]

Following your video, I visited this PadThaiNarokTack restaurant because I was staying nearby. Indeed the best Pad Thai I have ever eaten. Afterwards I walked to Icon Siam on foot, which is perfectly possible. This street is surprisingly interesting.

[@4oil0nly]

The first wok-hay Padthai is quite interesting one!!

[@theroamingcook]

I think it would change a little of opinions about pad Thai

[@4oil0nly]

@@theroamingcook I honestly have never tasted the wok-hay Padthai style. I may try to do for myself.

[@4oil0nly]

@@theroamingcook You have noted that the tammarind sauce, that cooked with plum sugar, will mix with such very high heat wok-hay style. That is big different.

Gary, you are so lucky to be in Thailand. Today I had the absolute worst brunch ever in Texas… 5 jerk seasoned shrimp that were smaller than pinky finger sized for US$15! WTF. I’ll be back to Bangkok in a month.

[@ashleyupshall7641]

The first one looked amazing. Thanks for posting 👍

[@paulrduffield]

That's the best pad thai mate I have ever seen. Must try. Keep up the good work. Thank you for all you do

[@pokker842]

Have not try the 2nd one yet but will soon. And yes the rest three are very good. I suggest 1 more place to go in Bangkok: Pad thai Talingchan ผัดไทยตลิ่งชัน If you have time to go a bit further up north, try pad thai in Ayutthaya, Ang Thong, and Sing Buri to find not-so-standard version of pad thai such as using sour-green mango instead of lime (but most of them are sold for many decades). I suggest ผัดไทยวัดท้องคุ้ง, ผัดไทยแม่เล็ก, ผัดไทยปากบาง.

[@theroamingcook]

Thanks so much, I’ll check them out! Mae Leo has been on my list for ages!

[@wycheee]

What a most enjoyable video Gary. Some grest variations of a great dish.

[@ginettevandenkerckhove6593]

Thanks gary

[@cake5449]

อาหารไทย ดังและดีค่ะ❤

[@eswillie]

The first and the last would be my choice, but I would reverse it and do the Bang Sakae first and the Narok Taek as the closer. All good, but those are the stars for me. Narok Taek is probably the first place I would want to get to when I finally get back there..

[@theroamingcook]

100 percent agreed!

Hello 🙆

[@theroamingcook]

Hey 😀

[@GlitterMoonbeam]

Gary, When we visited Thipsamai they said that the pink colouring and ‘uniqueness’ of their pad Thai comes from using shrimp paste to instead of tamarind (if I remember correctly) . I had always thought if it was pink they had used ketchup but I wonder if others use shrimp paste??

[@jiranyavarodvivat2434]

Original pad Thai use tamarind as main.

[@jiranyavarodvivat2434]

Traditional pad thai use tamarind as main.

[@GlitterMoonbeam]

Yes but Thipsamai don’t use tamarind. They use shrimp paste.

[@kirksulu]

Not shrimp paste, but shrimp fats from the head (mun goong).

[@user-ho8ch4dh1e]

You didn't arrive in time at Pad Thai Soi Phetkasem 28. Near your house Ordinary shop but good taste Now he's not selling anymore. I don't know what the reason is.

@garybutler Im begging to think your biased to a certain area for good food..Is it really so that the best street type food is in this areas?.You been all up in the same map area-ish for all the videos I've seen. Is it cause you live that way?? Haha I live the opposite side of most your "restaurants" you post so im being biased of making go so far for food Hahaha

[@theroamingcook]

Haha, definitely biased yes but I love this side BECAUSE of the food. There’s great food everywhere in Bangkok but this side of the river is just better for me personally. That’s why I usually say that I’m not telling people to specifically come to restaurants I feature just to get out in general and eat. Unless it’s the first one in this video, I’d fly from England for this haha

[@samkeino6810]

I see you eat the shrimp with the “poop” , euphemistically called a vein, and the shrimp head, eyes and all. Does it not bother you?

Not at all

Pad thai is rubbish. Takoyaki is the best Thai food and powdered Thai tea is the best drink.
