Exploring Burmese Cuisine in Thailand's Migrant Worker City

From Monday to Saturday, Tha Sai in Samut Sakhon Province is an anonymous factory town; the home of 250,000 workers in Thailand's seafood processing industry. But on Sundays, the town explodes in colors and aromas as one of the country's largest markets- a Burmese street fair that might as well have been lifted from Yangon.
There are as many as four million Myanmar migrants and refugees in Thailand today, though as with most new immigrants to a country, they work the blue-collar jobs and live outside of the mainstream country. But that's starting to change. So in this video, we're tracing the path of Burmese people- and their food- from the factory cities to downtown Bangkok, and visiting with the owner of Myanmar's first (and only) microbrewery, to learn about his new venture in Thailand.

Location pins: So the market is centered around this area: goo.gl/maps/hnpDfz65CaKUGnUa6 ...but my best recommendation is to start there, then just follow the people. Not a lot of pins corresponding to everything awesome out there. Market (as far as I'm aware) is Sunday only, although the indoor component and some of the restaurants might operate during the week. The place we visited with Htin: maps.app.goo.gl/fkn2SUPUQkGZhr157 And Htin's new brewpub: maps.app.goo.gl/5r9t6RMC7Udj8wHw6 Cheers and enjoy!

Have you ever eaten the Burmese deserts like the coconut jelly? And if the civil war in Burma is over go to yangoon sea food city for a buffay for only 12 dollars love your channel

[@hintha]

Burmese migrants have formed the backbone of Thailand's economy for generations now. As a Burmese, I always feel a certain sense of home when in Thailand. This wasn't mentioned, but we can't forget how exploitative Thailand's fishing industry is. Countless doves of Burmese workers are still enslaved at sea in exchange for a pittance, all to meet global demand for cheap seafood. Some do not return home.

[@OTRontheroad]

Yes, that's absolutely true. The only reason I didn't go into that was from everything I could find re: data after the brutal Greenpeace report a few years back, the problem with exploitation and human slavery most likely exists in the factory cities, but has been dramatically improved and is not related to the giant processing companies where we filmed. It's much more concentrated on the fishing boats themselves and in that part of the industry, which was not part of this video. But candidly- it's the reason why away from the channel, I personally avoid seafood here unless it's necessary for a video, or we trust the restaurant/chefs knowledge of their supply chain.

[@kyogofurahashi]

u r more than welcome to go home if u think its so exploitative!

[@bl-nb8fo]

​@kyogofurahashi It is. Jist because it's labor doesn't mean it's humane. Do you also think slavery of foreign workers in Dubai is ok?

Being Thai but also having been born overseas, what I love and immensely *respect* about your channel is that, "Wow, this random white guy legit knows more about food in Thailand than I do." It made so much more sense (and I stopped feeling mildly jealous) after learning that you were a Sichuan food chef which in and of itself is very Asian-Asian. It is heartbreaking but I know of Chinese people here who simply don't "get it" with Sichuan pepper, for example. :( I adore your work and while I would especially love for you to keep exploring food in S.E.A., the way you approach the topic makes me genuinely interested in your perspectives on other foods as well. Exemplary job.

I worked at Thai Union several years ago but never got to eat Burmese food there! Last time I had Burmese food was in Virginia of all places, in 2000’s while working in DC. I’m inspired by your channel to go seek out Burmese food in Bangkok!

[@mlh4711]

just found your channel and what a wonderful window this was into the world of the Burmese community in Thailand. I've worked with the Burmese in Bangkok for the last 15 years and they really are the most amazing people - clam, kind, honest and so hard working. Much of Thailands infrastructure was built by the Burmese and the ones who work as domestic workers have raised the current generation of Thais too. I have found them to be genuinely some of the nicest people I have ever met.

[@msantos7755]

I love my Burmese friends and I have learned so much from them. I hope for peace soon, so they can all go back home!

[@martypoll]

One of the best and most memorable trips I have ever taken was traveling solo in Myanmar in 2016. I went to Yangon, Bagan, and Mandalay. I have to say though that I did not come back from that trip loving Burmese food. There is a small Burmese community in the Phra Khanong market in Bangkok.

I'm glad that my first experience with Myanmar food was during my first visit to Myanmar 8years ago. I don't remember the names but OMG they were all so good. Then we tried again in Bnagkok local market and I fell in love with Mohinga and tea leaves salad. I asked tea leaves salad to go but it doesn't taste the same. I guess I should have mixed all the ingridients by hand.

[@nickialex1704]

If you could remember What kind of ingredients you was eat, to help to find name of it

[@nyizaw8335]

​​​​​​​​@@nickialex1704The Main and probably rarest Ingredient is Pickled Tea Leaves :D The rest is fried Beans, Sesame and Garlic. You can add Lime and Peanut Oil for Citrus taste and Authentic oil Fragrance. Any Chillies for Heat Garlic if you love it. Chopped Cabbages if you love greens. And lastly Dried Ocean Prawns for the salty sea taste or just salt (and MSG) Thats all the ingredients I use at my home in Myanmar. No need to mix... can eat separately if you want :D My english is not good but I hope this helps 😊

Thank you! Again, amazing video! So glad you went back to Burmese food! Love it! Am also obsessed! There's plenty of places in Chiang Mai, some near a Shan style temple at the top of the moat. As far as I know there's only one weekly market of Shan/Burmese which isn't any where near the size of the one you explored. The migrants/refugees are spread out in the country side, doing a lot of the hardest field work. There's no centralized factory/business so, they're kind of hidden. Amazing food, amazing people, amazing stories!

[@KilanEatsandDrinks]

Ohhh I love food from Myanmar! I’m practically salivating over that ohn no khao swe that you were having. I can’t imagine telling people to turn off their music though, I don’t know how you do it. Unfortunately I’ve never seen any Myanmar restaurant in Indonesia even though other Southeast Asian food like Thai or Vietnamese are quite popular. I once went to a Myanmar restaurant where all the migrant workers go to in Kuala Lumpur but I couldn’t handle the staring LOL I guess even local Malaysians don’t go to these places. Burmese food is OK, but what I REALLY miss are all the Shan dishes which are even more challenging to find in my neck of the woods. Living in Thailand is such a blessing, I envy you! 😢

[@OTRontheroad]

Hah yeah I always feel bad asking, especially when they're enjoying themselves like at a karaoke- but it's not that we want "quiet"- it's just about copyright law. If a song we don't have rights to shows up in the background of the video, it gets us in trouble. And thanks for the nice words! Yeah, Shan food is my weakness as well.

[@michaelbiedassek7136]

Yes, these areas are not frequented by foreigners, only 2km south at the ferry crossing to Tha Chalom will you see plenty of foreigners en route to catch the train to the Maeklong Train Market. The rest of the area caters mainly to the processing of aqua culture and even the few hotels wont see many tourists there, it’s mainly people for work and business. I have been there because my gf often does social compliance audits in the factories, interviewing migrant workers and checking those factories to not breach labor laws. I also pass many times on my motorbike on the way to visit family Samut Songkhram. Next time I make sure I will try some of the dishes in the video. Thanks for sharing.

[@thefolder3086]

This is really interesting to me. Bangkok have always have small immigrant communities scattered everywhere like what you have already covered with Portuguese, Chinese, Mon and this with the Burmese community and how their food blend into Thai cuisine. What I find interesting tho is the new and currently growing community of west African in hua lam phong bc while Thailand had a long history of contact with surrounding countries in Asia, it’s a completely new thing for west Africa and just like how revolutionizing Portuguese cuisine become to Thailand, I’m also wondering whether in the long run this too will change Thai cuisine and how will their food spread to the Thai public. I still don’t know much about what’s happening inside the community tho, so if you made a vid it would be amazing! The Indian community too is obviously very influential and has a very long history but Indian food is well integrated enough into Thai cuisine that I think it had reached an equilibrium, and also people know about it already.

[@OTRontheroad]

Have been very tempted for a while to do a story on West African food here- we've been to every West African restaurant in BKK (I think?) and as far as I can tell, only one of them has an actual foreign owner/chef; the others are either Thai or Pakistani but with some experience cooking Nigerian dishes. However it is definitely a growing community and something we're very interested in covering.

[@thefolder3086]

@@OTRontheroad hmm, so it’s Nigerian right? I’ve heard some people say there are cameroonis as well that’s why I say west African in general. I’ve only seen them walking around and never really entered the community itself (I live in Nakhon pratom) so I don’t actually know how many restaurants are there It’s still interesting tho if there’s one, I mean just like the one wa restaurant you covered before, this might be a trend starter for a new cuisine soon.

[@OTRontheroad]

As someone who is secretly obsessed with Cameroonian food (I've only had "authentic" versions a few times, in Namibia and Zambia) if you hear of any details on this place, please let me know. Have no idea about its existence but that would be amazing news.@@thefolder3086

Thanks for my country

[@yuzee6693]

I have a feeling that I rode a motorcycle passed you, I thought my eyes betrayed me so I didn't thought it was you. LOL An inch away from accidental meet and greet~ Anyway, keep doing what you are doing I actually think I will follow your style of video regardless if it still in Thai or not.

[@raimecutie]

I crave for burmese foods but love to experience thailand venues.

[@EastofVictoriaPark]

I went to Burbrit years back and enjoyed it.

[@killerkaung]

Ok man, we request and you deliver so you deserve my patreon !!!

[@OTRontheroad]

Love it. Thanks so much!

[@yimveerasak3543]

Wow never thought Burmese food is sold in Thailand. Thanks

[@MK-gn1nz]

Lost 60 years of Myanmar left the country the bottom of development in Asia. When 60 yrs old treason by Junta ends, the wars will end. Myanmar people can return home! As far as food is concerned Burmese food is amongst the best in the world!

Another place on my bucket list, before it gets subsumed in the over-culture. Those dishes look quite unique, now I need to find a Burmese cookbook.
