Today I want to show you an altogether different side to Bangkok than the Khaosan road, the shopping malls and the glitz of the Sukhumvit Road! The place I'm showing you today is very close to my heart as it's the area that made me fall in love with Bangkok.
Today I headed to a little backstreet near Wongwian Yai in Bangkok’s Thonburi area to get what could be the best Prawn Pad Kaprao I've in the city as well as one of the most unique Thai beef noodles I’ve had in Bangkok. This is Thai street food at its finest in Bangkok!
First we headed to Original Kaphrao กะเพราแท้ 1993 for some 89 baht - £2.09 / $2.48 Prawn Pad Kaprao which was unbelievable for the price given the 6 massive prawns in the dish. It’s even cheaper if you don’t get an egg at 79 baht

Next up it was down the soi for some unbelievable beef noodles at Rachan Noodles 50 THB a large bowl - £1.16 / $1.31

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!

Where is your favourite pad kaprao?

The one i make myself 🤣

[@sylviasmith3418]

Well, my most favorite Khao Soi was served in a little shop facing the Wong Wian Yai Circle! It was like heaven and butter and ice cream all rolled into one. So good. We stayed at the Bangkok Loft Inn, and there's a seafood place across the street there, so good. What a great neighborhood! The fresh markets are fabulous! Thanks Gary, that brought back a lot of happy and delicious memories!

[@suarsivapong9311]

Frog pad kaprao ( Kob pad kaprao) that I made by myself .

[@theroamingcook]

Nice!

[@user-hq1zy6jt6z]

Any food can't compete with Thai food. I am a Taiwanese who have lived in Thailand for 20 years. In ASEAN I have been to almost every country besides Brunei, I can assure you, Thai food is the best and the most delicious.

[@makelovenotwar9941]

Absolutely!

[@torh1]

Wowww thank you.. 🥰🙏

[@tombahma]

that's totally subjective

[@chickboy359]

I beg to disagree. I love Pad Krapow but food is subjective. I’ve eaten almost all national dish per asian countries but will always end to personal palate and preferences.

[@WushuTaz]

I've been away from Thailand for 1 month now and your videos are making me miss the food more than you can imagine. I can't wait to be back in January.

[@theroamingcook]

Glad to hear you’re coming back!

[@brucewayne2773]

❤Bless you Gary for always showcasing what Thailand food is all about and supporting these small businesses. Everything looked really, really good mate😋🙏👍. These are the reasons why I always come back to Thailand for vacation when it comes to south east Asia.

[@theroamingcook]

Thanks mate, I’m glad that comes across in the videos 😀

[@ms.v3580]

There are 2 kinds of beef/pork noodle soup, clear soup and dark (in Thai called thick soup). For fish or fish ball with pork noodle soup, it is always clear soup. If we order a bowl of Tom Yom noodle , it means the cook will season the soup for you with a well balance of sourness, saltyness, spiciness, and sweetness according to the cook's preference and what she thinks will most suit the Thais' taste. So, normally, we would not put more seasoning in the soup because we go to certain noodle shops due to the way the cook seasons the Tom Yom soup. That's why she has regular customers. However, for new customers, they might order the Tom Yom just to see if it suits their taste; if not, they of course will season the soup the way they like it.😃

[@britslivinginspain]

You need to do a video.. top 5 Street food places in Bangkok... and now I'm hungry.. thankfully we've got a belly pork roast on the go with all the trimmings 👍😋😋

[@walternyc]

Definitely stopping by on my December trip. Always wanting to venture out to the other side of the river and never had time

[@nightclawer6679]

Pad kaprao is a Fast food in Thailand cuz it's easy and fast to cook but still delicious and have many varieties so you can eat it every day without getting bored with it.

[@theroamingcook]

Could eat it everyday

[@blur28]

That egg is cooked the same way as they do at Phed Mark, separate the yoke from the white, cook the whites until crispy and then add back the yoke for a quick cook. The best trick

[@theroamingcook]

Great trick mate!

[@pannachawangkul585]

My sister, who came back from Thailand about 2 and a half months ago, made me dried Sukiyaki for lunch today. She puts in so many huge prawns, fried tofu, scored squid, pork & egg along with veggies and glass noodles. I ate nearly all of it, and nearly get sick from eating too much, lol. Still 2 prawns remaining, I will have that for dinner. She is the best cook in the family, you know? Sometimes she makes Pho, because her son-in-law is Vietnamese , then she'll call me to go eat with them. The good thing when she is here, is that I get to eat good, authentic Thai & Vietnamese food. The bad thing is...I gain at least 2 pounds afterward. Then I would get on the easy step like mad to work off the pounds. Something got to give, right, Gary? Three bowls, really?😂😂😁😁

[@thecat2587]

Mate, your Thai is coming along beautifully! And that Pad Kaprao looks epic. I have had it a few times in BKK and it's always good. My last one was a drop in at Ekkamai for Mark Wiens place and it was packed with Bolt drivers!

[@frinky525]

this looks fantastic, i've never really explored thon buri even though i live in silom. have some US friends visiting next week, this would be a great little day trip. gary do you do guided tours or anything like that?

[@ms.v3580]

Thank you Gary; I like all your VDOs. ... I can tell from the look that they made one of the best Pad Kaprao and noodles look very good too. I want to try. Yum!

[@user-kg3dj8sg4z]

At the table, you neglect two things: 1. 2 bowls of soup at the shop, free. (but some stores don't) which is a bland soup but has a mellow taste Drink with rice for both dishes. make it more fluid and extinguish the spicy taste. 2. The orange-red chili sauce in the bottle should be Sriracha or​ the​ other​ brand. Use it to top with fried eggs or omelettes. It's quite spicy. For those who don't like fish sauce, chili. Which will be delicious in another way... 😋🤗🤪

[@suayhughes8103]

Prefect Gary you speak Thai language.

[@richardmccarron8695]

Thanks for the tip Gary - visited this place for lunch when on holiday last week and just wow

I declare you as Thailand Street Food Ambassdor !!!! This area is truly hidden gems. Just another level of Thai food review. Cheers!!!!

[@Plamukaroy]

the Pad kra pao kung looks very tasty, I also like to eat that, especially with that egg, which is now excellently fried, the yellow of the egg is still runny, you don't often find that in Thailand. I'm lucky, they ask me every day what I like to eat, so I'm going to eat Pad kra pao kung tomorrow. The noodle soup also looks good, but I usually eat that for lunch.

[@iantelley1303]

Top content Gary, the only problem is I spend too much time on the lounge watching your episodes, having been a Chef in Australia for over 20 years your episodes remind me of the time I too roamed the streets of Bangkok 15 years ago on a Holiday. Check out Georgetown and Batu Ferringhi in Malaysia if you ever get the chance. Keep it coming, mate.

[@naughtynightlifeasia857]

Used to live 10 minutes away near ICONSIAM for 2 years. I’ll have to try this one soon. Some good food at the Thai beer bars opposite SenaFest down the road. Can’t remember if the same road but near some of those leather shops there are some garages selling Vespa and Lambretta Scooters 🛴 I think I prefer “Sen Yai” the bigger noodles rather than the smaller ones you ordered.

[@TheOppa777]

I am here right now thanks to your recommendation! ❤️

[@theroamingcook]

How was it???

[@aaronbux1]

As usual, GB .. looks aroy mak! The uncooked yolk .. I don't remember where, but a recipe I read called for separating the yolk before frying the white, then adding the uncooked yolk at the end to the fried white. Maybe that's what these guys did? Also, thanks again for the English translation captioning. Even if you caption the same things in other vids .. like when you order food .. it def helps to follow along and for my own practice. Good work, mate!

[@aaronbux1]

Bah! Looks like others beat me to the yolk solution :) .. and seems like you already knew!

[@tbone5327]

Love it man! Keep it up

[@bakesfoods]

Looks amazing! I'll have to check it out!

[@Trufflestravels]

I'm sure you know this by now but they fry the egg whites and then put the yolk on top afterwords and cook a little more.

[@omgwth7567]

Gary becomes Pad Kaprao expert. You've taste it more than most Thai. 😉👍🤤 Anyway "Thin" Noodle or Sen "Lek" is not easy to pronounce with high Thai tonal for foreigners. 😉

[@theroamingcook]

55555 thank you! So should I be using high time or rising tone for Sen lek?

[@omgwth7567]

@@theroamingcook Sen Lek(low tone) = เส้นเหล็ก or Steel Bar Sen Lek(rising tone) = เส้นเล็ก or Thin Noodle In fact, once an Australian man ordered "Kuay Teaw Sen Lek" (low tone) and the venders bursted out laughing. You know they first thought he ordered Steel Bar Soup. 🤣😁🤭

[@pomruntour7116]

I would like you to try to taste local food in Chanthaburi, if you want to taste traditional Thai food and the unique food of the east of Thailand, you should go there, fresh seafood every day In addition, the view in the old city and the riverside market are as beautiful as anywhere else in Thailand, recommended by a Thai person who wants to see tourists see more than just Pad Thai or Tom Yum Kung ❤️✌️ (There are many night markets there and many snacks are unique!!)

[@eswillie]

Eating my own version of pad kaprao tonight, really a fusion meal, but prawns/shrimp as sizeable, and mostly Thai, Asian, Latin and other ingredients. Actually, tonight is the leftovers from two nights ago. and I'm guessing the flavors all got together. That nam pla ra you got for a dip with the beef noodles was what I'm trying to find, but its hard to even see a mention of it here in the US. One of these days, I will visit and will need your expertise, since I don't know if I can actually master written Thai. Keep it goin', Mate.

[@khwanchaisriwilai6855]

🙏Thank you, Gary. I'm glad you came to my Rachan noodles store again since we first met many years ago. Sorry that I didn't stay between you visited because I went to other provinces for several days. Now I have a hostel called "Station8 Hostel" on the other side of the WongWianYai BTS station too. (Krungthonburi soi4) If there is a chance, we will meet again soon. And the shirt you made, I really like it "No Chilli No Life" I will definitely buy it.

Hi Gary how they get the eggs like that is to separate the yolk … put the whites in a hot wok with oil of course then add the yolk after the whites are crispy and gently seal the yolk with a gentle splash of oil

Pad kaprao as street food is great and all but don't dismiss Moom Gapao chain restaurant just because it's a chain restaurant. They appear to have researched what makes the best pad kaprao and it's consistently very good at all their branches. They also only use large duck eggs which you will find much nicer than chicken eggs.
