[@tuengsak]

How could you even research this stuff is incredibly impressive. I’m Thai and grew up in Bangkok, yet, some of the stuff you have uploaded were unheard off to me. TAT should have your channel recommendation on their official tourist guide already. Thank you!

[@RomaInvicta202]

I hope tourists will never find out about it, as they will destroy these places

[@kamolhengkiatisak1527]

It is the first time that I know Hainanese is the first to open coffee shop in Bangkok. I am (71) of Hainanese descent born in Thonburi near Bangkokyai canal (originally the old Chao Phraya river bended route). As far as I remember when I was really young 4-5 years old, there were 2 coffee shops next to each other, 2 houses from my house. They were Taechew. One shop bought already roasted coffee beans and the owner just grounded it into powder himself while the next door coffee shop roasted the raw coffee beans himself in a gigantic steel wok using logs to provide fire underneath once a month. Believe it or not, both coffee shops had enough customers to survive at least 2 decades until I moved away when I was 26 in 1978. When I was older around 50 and had more free time, I biked around Bangkok and nearby provinces and all Chinese coffee shops I visited were of Taechew descents. Hainanese on the other hand were known among Thais for chicken rice. I supplemented my knowledge from school by reading Thai newspaper in the late afternoon at the nearest coffee shop for free. The owner knew me as my father was a regular customer in the morning. Thai Rath, the oldest and largest circulation Thai newspaper at one time upto 1 million, was available there along with local Chinese newspaper. Thai Rath is still printed at 10 baht/copy at present but the circulation should not be more than 50,000 nowadays. Younger generation Thais know Thai Rath as a TV channel best with sensational news, which was the case with its successful formula as the older paper version. One could say Thai Rath is the equivalent of English tabloid The Sun.

[@OTRontheroad]

Thanks a lot for telling us this story. I really wish I'd been able to experience what it was like here in the time that you grew up.

[@chekengyong5032]

Im a second generation coffee maker of hockchew origin in Singapore. Many of my family members are in this kopitiam business. Even i knew close to nothing about the history of coffee in south east asia. Very grateful that u did this video! Next time round i will be visiting the coffee places in Bangkok.

[@oatmeal255]

OTR is the best most intelligent and informative food channel prove me wrong, u can't.

[@E_O_S_]

Man v food 😂😂😂😂

[@Ajhmee]

I'm a Thai guy who live in Bangkok for over 40 years, I still learn new things erm... actually old things from your VDO.

[@sohardtogetID]

Gosh, imagine how much resources you put in in making each video. Huge respect.

[@BiggysLetsPlays]

A few things I'd like to add: - Planting Coffee to replace opium is part of Mae Fah Luang Foundation's "Doi Tung" project, which aims to add further value to coffee planted here through branding (Doi Tung Cafe) and there's a nifty museum/Botanical Garden up in Chiang Rai that might be worth a visit. - "Yok Lor" is actually a Thai colloquial term for "Popping a Wheelie"

[@OTRontheroad]

Interesting note on the Doi Tung project. And re: Yok Lor- yup, absolutely correct; still seems like the origin of the term regarding coffee is related to how it's described in the video, but fun note regardless.

[@OTRontheroad]

Also as a side note- just checked your channel and watched the trailer. Not into gaming personally so my own interest in the subject is limited- but AWESOME work, really cool to see what you're doing and how open you are about your own path, and will follow along from time to time. Cheers and all the best.

[@KilanEatsandDrinks]

Amazing to see old coffee shops in Thailand have the same offering like in Malaysia, Singapore and some parts of Indonesia: coffee with condensed milk, eggs and soldiers with coconut jam (called _serikaya_ in Indonesia or _sangkaya_ in Thailand or _kaya_ in Malaysia and Singapore). What was essentially British breakfast tradition was turned into a Southeast Asian one by the enterprising Hainanese immigrants. Thank you for reminding me of _oliang_ which I’ve tried it a long time ago but had forgotten about it until you brought it up. I remember liking it, but somehow every time I’m in town I’d only have Thai iced tea 😂 We might produce more coffee beans here in Indonesia and our beans’ quality might be better, but I somehow I always thought the cafe culture in Thailand is more exciting LOL It’s a joy visiting all the cute coffee shops in both big cities and small towns in the country!

[@goldenage]

Interesting. Coffee, egg and sugar is a long time european breakfast tradition as well.

[@mr.cookie7308]

Thailand is pretty amazing....it has great food, exotic fruits, tropical beaches, huge shopping malls, skyscrapers, big city traffic, temples, hill tribes, elephants, and the mekong river. All this for fairly cheap and accessible. Whats best is its in the middle of everything.....fairly close to Vietnam, Hong Kong, Australia, India, China and Japan.

[@NanChirayukool]

Your new upload always make my day💜 I feels that each video is also keeps getting better. The writing, the pacing, atmosphere, the B-roll, and the story you manage to dig up is so interesting and entertain to learn! p.s. I'll have a heart attack if I eat and drink that much sweet bread and coffee in a day!

[@OTRontheroad]

Thanks for the kind words- and yeah, I have no idea how I survived that much coffee and sugar (and everywhere closes early, so it was all within about a 6 hour shoot). I couldn't decide if I should sleep for 24 hours or run a marathon

[@pandale9427]

Man, ur content's the best. most food channels focus solely on the taste or the uncanny side of a cuisine. it's why channels that try to feature the blend of food and culture are always so memorable. Keep up the good work man.

[@TheAlphacad]

I'm taking notes. Can't wait till my next visit to Thailand. Now I'll know where to go for my wake up cup(s) of coffee. Thank you

[@Kwippy]

You have been a great help in highlighting and promoting many of Bangkok's eateries and cuisines that are on the verge of disappearing altogether so thank you very much and please keep up the good work.

[@matthewjanney2399]

the built environment of the kopitiams is such a treasure...the wood, marble tables, all the aged things like jars with biscuits and such, they are a rare slice of heaven

[@nuttavutudsatid4442]

I’m Thai, food and history is always my interest since I was young. Eventually, I found myself become a chef for couple of years. But life is full of twist and turn, now I’m in Australia and roasting coffee for living. Thanks for your channel that got to learned about all this food and history 🤟🤟🤟

[@thanaang1455]

This channel never disappoints me, great content! They are perfect for breakfast while reading news paper and chit chatting among friends.

[@GlitteratiLive]

About 15 years ago I spent a lot of time in Nakhon Ratchasima and Phimai. Both seemed stuck in the 70s, especially Phimai. I was taken to relatively hard to find places for a coffee, almost like a drug addict. In some cases, I indeed got a tea with my coffee. Thank you for bringing me back to that time, for a few minutes. 5 years later Phimai started to catch up with the times, quickly.

[@KGrooveplanet]

This is my second or third video from your channel and I just realised why I really enjoy them. (Other than cos its superbly researched and produced) Reminds me quite a bit of Arrested Development. One of my favourite shows ever!

[@sts0868]

Great work again - coffee, what a fascinating topic!

[@thefolder3086]

Coffee houses are very interesting here. I’m a Bangkok kid so idk too much but I’ve heard my friends from the south say that coffee houses are the center of southern politics and commmnity.

[@byebyeblue]

It's so funny to see you try to run a program with the high on caffeine LOL and at 16:22 love that little fist bump

[@eswillie]

As someone who used to get up around 4:30 am and have coffee before I did anything else (and I drank coffee from the age of probably 10 since there was always a pot on the stove), I approve of this video and I feel jealous because I stopped drinking coffee about two years ago. I just began watching the video, but I'm afraid that if I watch to the end, I'll soon be drinking coffee every morning. Another good episode, guys. Thanks.

[@mchaisoccer]

It is overwhelmingly amazing how you could go very deep into the history of food in Thailand, even being a foreigner living in Thailand for less than 2 years. Very impressive! Love love it!

[@tom4wlt]

WOW, you've crossed the 50K subscribers threshold. Congratulations!

[@shaunashton9744]

Watching this while drinking my night shift coffee, love these old places and looking forward to visiting.

[@eugeniogonzalez5651]

great episode Adam especially the last footage on the oldest coffee shop in Bangkok.... i can relate to you guys on being high strung since i did also a few footages on coffee shops in one day.... keep up the great work and features !!!!

[@supreeyakritsaneephaiboon2304]

Now you're talking! My husband and I took a coffee tour of the Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Nan mountain area, a few years ago. These independent shops in out of the way nooks and crannies is another level. We sampled 3-5 shops, a day. Way cool, even if a little hyper. Cheers!

[@Backtothefuturem]

I follow heaps of Thai channels, this is my newest subscribe and my favourite by a country mile. Really really impressive from so many perspectives🎉🎉🎉

[@axianskin]

Thank you OTR team for making this video. I watched it just days before I visited BKK for a week. My late parents came to Singapore from Hainan island before WWII and became naturalised Singaporean. Growing up I often heard stories about Chinese diaspora in SE Asia and I remember they talked about visiting their friends in 1980s in BKK who also immigrated from Hainan. I took a bus from Silom road where my hotel was and then walked a distance to get to Nam Heng Li cafe. I spoke to the owner in Hainanese and felt a kinship with her. Her kaya toast was ok but I found the coffee too acidic for my liking. After that, walked down along the main road for ten minutes before arriving at Hia Tai Kee, the biggest coffeehouse as your video mentioned. I ordered a baguette sandwich and their signature omelette. love it and the coffee was fantastic. I hand a second cup. I spoke to the lady manager and the owner . They were very happy to hear I came all the way from Singapore, unfortunately they couldn’t speak my dialect Hainanese. I’m glad that I visited the coffee houses because I came upon your video by chance and it was very meaningful to me.

[@OTRontheroad]

That's so nice to hear. If you have a chance, please watch our video on Cook Shops. That entire video is about the story of the Hainanese and the path to Southeast Asia, I'm sure you'll find it very enjoyable to watch.

[@gtccold]

@OTR I think you should have a dub or translated version of Thai. I am Thai and I would bet my parents would enjoy your videos. Thank you and keep up the good work.

[@bunmeng007]

Incredible work you put into this video. As someone who love coffee and history, this is a gem! Thank you!

[@kimorsa]

Love your videos OTR! Just want to add on about coffee landscape in Thailand: across the country and especially in Bangkok and Chiangmai have been a steady and solid breeding ground for third wave coffee shops and roasters. So many local modern third wave coffee shops pop up in the last 10 years making the options for coffee places very plenty. Thailand Coffee Fest is also one of the most exciting convention in Thailand at with traditional and third wave participants enjoy the robustness of the industry alike.

[@emlynjessen2957]

Watching Thai dramas has introduced me to coffees that I can only dream about here in Toronto. I was very gratified to see a billboard with the actor Bright on it, and a coffee with the composer’s name “Chopin” emblazoned on it.

[@williamhartz8707]

Your videos are always professionally done with good research - unlike so many KZbin bloggers that cover the same tourist topics lacking substance.

[@NicO-cm2xo]

Great you have risen the warrior in me for hainan kopi kaya toast hunter journey thru Asia!

[@Lyndonology]

I think I got a contact coffee high from all the caffeine you ingested 😂 Hopefully in the next video, it's something that gives you and your body a chance to relax 🙏🏽 Great video as always ❤

[@walterhermann1152]

Hi, I really like your videos, the way you tackle your objectives. Ich know Bkk quite well and I am back there at least once a year each year. Just holydays and exploring. I love to recognize locations I have been to and get some ideas on where to visit my next time Keep on doing the good work

[@grasoonjangjaitum2810]

Your music has never failed!!! Top class sir.

[@jjongpol]

Another incredible episode!!

[@SeanDunkley]

Amazingly edited and wonderfully researched! Thank you!

[@baht_and_paid]

This gives me flashbacks to my many visits to Singapore and Hong Kong over the years. Every morning was a stop at ya kun kaya toast.

[@worwantube]

I enjoyed bing-watching your videos. It's nice to resee Bangkok through foreign lens. Keep up great work!

[@dondobbs9302]

Excellent as ever! It's kind of fun to see you-all get more wired as you go.

[@Piak2517]

Another great video as always. I spent the first five years of my life upstairs above my Hainanese grandparents cookshop restaurant, listened to so many stories about the trade, and I still missed many facts you told here. Not sure whether your channel is about food or history, but it is surly excellent on both. Thank you.

[@juliandco]

Another fantastic video. I don't know how you keep doing it!

[@jampasurprenant1794]

Absolutely awesome for you to do the researching in Thailand for the coffee where were originals from excellent jobs I love it.

[@nX-]

5:37 You can find Sericaia in almost every Portuguese restaurants still today :)

[@visions30]

What really intrigued me was how they evolved into the artisanal cafes with very local and interesting flavours.

[@shumaiprincess]

Glad to have found your channel! Love your content! 💗

[@leehaseley2164]

Another absolutely fantastic deep dive! Thank you. The sweet condiment eaten with bread/toast? San-kha-yaa. Don't forget the San😋

[@OTRontheroad]

“Kaya” is the accepted term in most of the world- the Malaysian term- and since it’s not a Thai dish, that’s what we went with for the English language name

[@doubleunderfire7964]

I’m going to hit all those places. I recognize a couple spots that I’ve passed by in my visits to Chinatown but had no idea of the history. Great video!!

[@winteryolive]

Another edifying video! Just stellar!!

[@ThailandThomas]

Being a coffee shop / Coffee roastary owner I go to many coffee conventions. Try sampling 50 coffees a day. You don't sleep for two days sometimes. Very much enjoyed your video

[@chochylindt]

Awesome episode. Is there a tea culture in Bangkok?

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Gosh, your channel is so frustrating... how can you possibly research and produce this high of quality at such frequency? every time a new episode drops I am fully engrossed. Keep it up!

[@OTRontheroad]

Lol thanks so much. Just checked out your channel btw, really cool stuff on the ghost tower video. Look forward to whatever else you're working on next

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

@@OTRontheroad Thanks, much appreicated. Been shooting for about 5 months, hope to have the next one out this year. Keep cranking epic episodes, they both entertain and motivate me.

[@susigorges7035]

Thank you for this coffee video…will go there when in BKK…November

[@JosVonGunderhoushua]

Always happy when I see you upload!

[@mortonbaychestnut4072]

Had Hainanese coffee in Hainan, Wenchang county to be precise... it is served as we know it in SE Asia, including the marble table, etc... however it is served differently in the county to its south... BTW the secret to this coffee is that after being roasted, it is fried with butter, margarine or chicken fat... my father grew up in a hainanese coffee shop...

[@alyssamonique4120]

This way of videos are so entertaining

[@andrewdunbar828]

Am I finally about to learn about "kafe boran"? Cool! I would've liked a bit more on it, like you did for Oliang. And you briefly mentioned there's a Thai equivalent of cham? I'd like to know more about that too.

[@jimshelley8831]

Phu Chai Kai in khongtoi is one of the cities best coffee places in Bangkok.Very cheap prices too. Mark the onwer knows his coffees from around the world.

[@Danny.Hyde2022]

Just discovered your channel, very good work. Big thank you

[@ScipioAfricanus809]

You content is of the highest quality, please tag the places you eat on google maps though. I would love to visit many of them.

[@OTRontheroad]

It's always pinned in the first comment! cheers.

[@ScipioAfricanus809]

@OTRontheroad thank you I hadn't seen that. Keep up the good work 👏

[@jak3b]

Those cafe's remind me of the old places that used to be in North Beach San Francisco. When I first went to Thailand the height of coffee I could find was nescafe redcup. I wish I knew about those places then!.

[@scottmcintire8634]

Another wonderful episode! I will be briefly in Bangkok (1-1/2 days) en route to Laos next month, and then back in BKK for 4 days before flying back home. I will definitely try a few of the kopitiams you visited. I fell in love with the kopitiams of Singapore over multiple visits there, and hadn’t considered that there would be old school ones in Bangkok. My first trip to Thailand was 20 years ago this month, so this trip to Bangkok will be an anniversary for me, and I’m wondering if Thailand’s Black Canyon Coffee chain is still around, as I came to love their domestically-sourced coffee. I headed up to Chiang Mai after time spent in Bangkok (plus a day trip to Ayutthaya), and really enjoyed the regional hill-tribe grown Arabica coffee, particularly the dark roast brewed strong & thick. During a two-day trek in Doi Inthanon National Park, the first part transited through a hillside of Arabica coffee bushes above the Karen village we had lunch in, with our Thai-Karen guide upon learning that I was a coffee lover, picked a few coffee cherries and handed them to me as a souvenir. Looking forward to viewing more of your Bangkok-related videos before my departure. Thanks for your dedicated efforts and postings! 🙏🙏🙏

[@rubnchvz]

Can't wait for the Opium video. Hope you're doing a tour with 5+ opium places to try most of them

[@ankhpom9296]

Opium? Ha ha!

[@noneyabizness7288]

And now I want to add a day onto my next trip do do a coffee crawl in Bangkok. I was avoiding BKK this time! But now...

[@PackOfWolves]

Bumping this for algorithm - I’ll be back to watch properly later!!

[@stevegand]

I’ve been coming here for 10 years and lived here for the last four. I’ve always thought coffee was a relatively new thing for Thais. Boy, was I wrong. “The more you know…”

[@KTT_-vw2ur]

I’m Thai and some of the places you’ve been I never know exist! Sub and shared cheers !

[@Guichaigaming]

I love every video you guys make 🥰

[@hans-uelijohner8943]

I believe that the highest number of AMAZON coffees are the ones at the PTT fuel stations, they are every where in the country. Often they have nice water installations. In Buachet, Surin, there is a pool with a huge alligator gar under nicely arranged trees. Nearby in Sangkha they have a little stream with little fish and a pool with huge kois.

[@JAD3N]

Another great episode. Way better than Netflix.

[@pongpetmekloy3965]

Awesome video! Please allow me to add one thing. It's the once-highly-popular Ban Rai Coffee chain that sparked the boom of freshly brewed coffee and modern-day cafes, especially those in gas stations.

[@pongpetmekloy3965]

For any one interested and can read Thai, search for บ้านไร่กาแฟ หายไปไหน? to get more info :)

[@iaspace6737]

WOW CANT WAITE TO TRY THAT

[@alyssamonique4120]

Do matcha please. I’ve been loving the history. I just got my first grand master chasen (whisk)

[@RoutierNordAmericain]

One popular food item to go with coffee is the Chinese fried doughnut stick; you might know it in Mandarin as "You Tiao"; I know it in Cantonese as, "Yau Ja-Kwai", but in Thailand, it's called, " Pah Tong Goh".

[@DanielLopez-hd6do]

In México the sericaia dessert was adopted as "jericalla". It is similar to a custard.

[@poomsiraprapasiri8448]

Not sure if you've done soy milk already. Nam Taohu, or literally tofu water, is often sold hot and with many optional items, usually from roadside pushcarts. I know at least two places with amazing soy milk, one in Klongchan housing complex (Flat Karn Keha) in Bangkapi and another in Talad Rachawat in Dusit District.

[@tobalation]

Splendid. The only part I disagreed was the "quietly sit and read your paper and mind your own business." I don't know about Bangkok, but from my experience of coffee shops in Chumporn Province back in 1985, what I experienced was groups of older gentlemen who went to the cafe to hang out and often animatedly discuss politics

[@PlebiasFate1609]

11:36 SEE a lot of western people seeing half boiled egg with soy sauce and white pepper be like oh its just half raw eggs, what so special about it? And after they ate it with the kaya toast its like ooohhhh now i know why😂

[@mawnsongkha6849]

Great work! and thank you. I'm Thai and all my grandparents moved from Hainan to the south of Thailand. My mom was born in Koi Samui and they had a coffee shop there like the place you visited. p.s. It's "Sang ka ya", not "ka ya". We like to eat it in the evening, before the "real" dinner. >

[@OTRontheroad]

Thanks! And yeah- I used the Malay name (kaya) as it’s much more “universal” outside of SE Asia

[@Zero-zo3fp]

My grandma was a chinese migrant and back in the day she also have shop like these where she sell coffee , toast and eggs in the morning and switch to selling rice porridge and fish cake during lunch to dinner time (back in the day my grandma was very poor so she have to work around the clock selling something trying to make as much money as she can to pay for my dad education)

[@thesmartestidiot1921]

How do you guys do the research for these videos? Is it a lot of interviews or Google searches? I’d love to know

[@OTRontheroad]

Combination of a lot of things- there are a few people I trust as a resource to at least point us in a direction. But in general- online, college dissertations are the best start sometimes since they have tons of citations which basically points us towards a lot of good books and research works. Otherwise we have a decent library and honestly, most of this stuff is out there, it's not THAT hard to find usually (and the stuff that IS impossible for me to figure out- fish cakes, for example- we just don't film)...Main thing is you just need to cross-check everything since there's a lot of baloney, too, and even good sources write plenty of BS. Sometimes I do have to make my best guess when there's a few different stories- but if I'm not completely confident in it we won't run it- or I'll just explain that people argue about (X). The most honest way I can explain our research is that most of the time, we're not uncovering new facts- we're just taking a ton of facts that have already been uncovered and making sense of them.

[@Ramirezz11]

Daria is so cute when she was eating that sandwich. haha little hurricane.

[@nicholasscott1867]

Loved your video, only problem visiting these coffee shops is I don't like condensed milk! You should make a video about Thai peoples love and use of it for drinks and food.

[@worawatli8952]

A bit of tangent from coffee brewing, but I do home roasting all the time and I found that it is amazing how small plantations both from the north and south offered so vibrant varieties of both robusta and arabica and so many processing methods, all available in this one country. I highly recommend anyone into coffee to try roasting beans yourself, if you want a new rabbit hole for your coffee as a hobby. rofl When you do home roasting, you discover something new every time, something large scale roasters won't try to make because the market isn't ready for it, so it is always turned out with interesting result. (I like medium roast, but most Thai prefer dark roast, so it is very hard to find cheap medium roast beans from Chumpon or Karnchanaburi, I bought some and roasted them into my preference and understand why the market isn't in for it, they are too acidic at medium roast, but the taste are so unique I think it is a bummer people don't get into southern beans more, beans from the north seem to get more attentions from the belief that higher elevation made better coffee, which is true but it isn't the whole picture, the soil, the plants and the way it was treated also play a big role on the final results)

[@phuongnguyen-qw6gl]

Thanks 🙏 ❤❤❤👍

[@sirgromith]

I used to think that Kafae Boran and Oilang were lame compared to Western-style coffee. Now, I want to appreciate them more. Thank you.

[@steventurner197]

I love coffee and Thailand

[@jim.pearsall]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Thailand grows mainly arabica coffee beans. However, local production isn’t enough to supply demand, so it has to import. (I heard, Vietnam grows robusta coffee beans instead. Varying tastes is all okay.) I love Oliang by the way… I would get a ฿5 coin from my mom when I heard the Oliang cart ring its bell (45 years ago… now retired in BKK at 50). 😊

[@OzzieBird]

My first teenage love, a girl I will always love, broke up with me in high school. Broke my heart. She ended up getting married to a buddy of mine a couple years later (I was not invited to the wedding lol). I moved far away (not because of them) and ended up seeing them decades later. In talking I found out she wears the pants in their relationship and she hates coffee. She makes him go to the gas station down the street and drink it there if he wants a coffee lol. I lucked out 😅 I grind my own beans, have a good espresso maker and drink coffee everyday 😊

[@Snocone333]

great vid!

[@BB-yi6qn]

Are you in Bangkok now? I just saw the news about the shooting in Bangkok. I was shocked.

[@majorkade]

Great video!

[@AirWindStorm]

Great VDO as usual. However, the creamy thing is actually called Sang Khaya, not Khaya.

[@OTRontheroad]

As I explained below- I used the Malay name as that’s how it’s internationally known. It’s the accepted global term for it- and since it’s not originally Thai, I have no problem using that name here

[@palespectre]

My next visit to Thailand shall include these historic places that are part of Thailand’s culture.

[@ankhpom9296]

The only coffee I drink is in a Thai resto. It is iced coffee with a touch of coconut milk.

[@praearchprae]

I don’t know if your criteria should be the coffee shop that continuously open if not there is one of the oldest coffee shop that reopen after hundred year of closure which located in the old palace of king Rama VI, Phayathai Palace. The cafe is called Cafe Norasingha which is different style of coffee shop in this VDO.
