Does Google translate work on Thai language signs in Bangkok? I hope to visit Bangkok in the next 2 years. My wife and I really enjoy your videos. The interactions with the local folks is great. The work you invest in your editing and commentary is very appreciated.

[@ChovyTravel]

For the most part, they do work. Thank you so much! Really glad to hear you guys enjoy our videos 🥰 Really Appreciate your kind words 😃❤️🫰🙏

[@Surasak-p4s]

Spotted on the scene at Gump's Ari shop,I was amazed by the fact that you could be able to communicate with the cashier in Thai fluently,you two seem to learn Thai language prior to visiting Thailand,right?

[@ChovyTravel]

The Lady was amazing and we were so shocked how well she could spoke English. 😂😂😂 Glad to hear you think we’re fluent in Thai but we do know some phrases due to Google and Papago. We tend to play it about 10 times to try to sound as fluent as possible 😁😁😁. We did practice before coming to Thailand as well. Almost everyday to be exact 😂. Learning Thai is difficult and fun at the same time.

[@Surasak-p4s]

@@ChovyTravel Impressive,the way you take turns sharing with locals is on point,I assume that one year from now on you will even better.Can't wait to see the next ep. from you,have a great day Bro.

[@juneyliberries715]

Awwwww you came to my office building ! 🎉 I hope you did have a great time in Ari. The food court with a very reasonable price is like EXIM bank canteen so the food is cheap comparing to other places. ❤.

[@ChovyTravel]

Really!? Are you in the video 😁!? We had a great time! You work in such a beautiful building. The Food Court was amazing! Ari really felt like home for us. We really enjoyed it 😃❤️🫰🙏.

[@charotzel7998]

Ari is my fav. Place ! Modern cuisine , acceptable price. It is new area that popular recently.

[@ChovyTravel]

I think it’s our favorite place too so far 😃❤️🫰🙏!

[@AMPatGie]

Every shop staffs in this clip are super nice👍

[@ChovyTravel]

I know, right!!?? They’re so amazing!

[@menghgd]

36:40 it is "Look Choop" mung bean paste shaped, painted and dipped in gelatine, normally shaped into mini fruits. 37:15 it is called Kanom Chun (chun means layers), a mixture of tapioca, arrowroot and rice flour. Try peeling each layer and eat.😁 Enjoy!

[@ChovyTravel]

Thank you so very much for the info and time stamp 😃🫰❤️🙏

[@ThaiStyle]

อาหารไทยมีหลายรสชาติ มีความล้ำลึกของอาหาร ถ้าเข้าใจจะสนุกกับการกินมากครับ

[@ChovyTravel]

100% agree! So much to experience! But so little time 😢!

[@bunluesaisamathachai9461]

Your little eating trip in Ari is enjoyable 😀. Bkk has a lot of community malls along main streets. Most restaurants and food shops do not have afternoon break because we have a habit of eating all day haha 😂. To make Khao Soi more flavorful, you can put lime juice, challot, and pickles in it. If you are a big fan of green tea, you may want to try Peace Oriental Tea House at G Tower.

[@ChovyTravel]

Thanks Bro 😎 ! 😂😂😂 I must be part Thai cuz I can eat almost all day too. Yeah, Caroline added them and did say it was better with the add ons. Thank you for the recommendation 😃❤️🫰🙏. Gonna have to add that to the list 😁.

[@MsGiglet]

The white stuff that you thought was lotus root is actually water chestnut. The staff was trying to tell you that.

[@ChovyTravel]

Thank you so much for the clarification 😃❤️🫰🙏! You’re absolutely right, that’s what it was 😁.

[@KittitachPrasertkul]

I like how much you guys eat! Very good coverage of the area. I've been to Ari many times and have yet to try all the great food/dessert/coffee place.

[@ChovyTravel]

😁😁😁. Thank you so very much 😃❤️🫰🙏! Us too! We feel like there are still a lot of places we need to go 🫰🫰🫰.

[@sarankleesuwan9007]

You can find food in Bangkok 24/7. We just love eating whenever we feel like. There are some place that are nighttime food specialist and some place that open super early and close a few hours into the afternoon. It's part of the Bangkok charm.

[@ChovyTravel]

Seriously! It’s FOOD HEAVEN 🤤🤤🤤! Absolutely! That’s understandable to have specific hours of operation. We did notice that even if somewhere else is closed, there are just as good if not better locations serving similar food/desserts/drinks. Such a great convenience 😃❤️🫰🙏!

[@WHiZDoMz]

I think the crunchy thing at the last dessert shop is a water chestnut or chinese chestnut, normally they used it in "Ta-koh", the sweet that you had mixed with taro sometimes. Actually butterfly pea has no favor or smell it just pure color, which is blue and turn pruple when mixing with any acid/citric acid/ citrus fruit or sour-tasted liquid.

[@ChovyTravel]

Actually, I think you’re right on everything 😁. Come to think of it, it probably was water chestnut.

[@PytePoparo]

In Thailand, office building often have flea market events selling food and essential supplies.

[@ChovyTravel]

That’s awesome! A lot of other countries need to learn from Thailand. That is a brilliant idea! We need to check out some more office buildings 😁.

[@HommieTassawalai]

If you miss American style diner, you should check out Mickey's Diner BKK in Gaysorn Amarin Tower :) And for authentic Thai cuisine specializing in Southern and Northern Thai food, try Thai Niyom. Try their Khao Soi, I think it's tastier and richer than the one you tried. I really like your journey in Thailand. Love to see my country from your perspective. And love how you are so open-minded and embracing everything Thai here. Enjoy your stay!

[@ChovyTravel]

Omg!!! Thank you so much for the recommendation 🫰🫰🫰❤️❤️❤️! Definitely gonna have to check them out. We love recommendations 😃❤️🫰🙏! You’re so sweet! You come from a beautiful country filled with wonderful people and places to go. That’s what brings out the smile and positivity within us. We’re just reciprocating the love we get from Thailand. Thank you for your kind words and the love 😃❤️🫰🙏!

[@mhsurajit]

The blue pudding was layer custard or "kanom shun" : shun means layer. It is made by mixing coconut milk with rice flour, color from various things, green from pandan, blue from butterfly pea. Then pour the mixture in the pan or dish just a few milli-meter thick and steam. Once it is well steamed we pour another layer which mix a bit more color over and resteam it. Repeat this step again and again with more darker color.

[@ChovyTravel]

Wow! Sounds like a lot of labor was put into that specific dish. Honestly, I feel like everything in general consisted of a lot of manual labor. Thank you for sharing the steps to making that special dish 😃❤️🫰🙏!

[@Mali-pg5rv]

Thank you so very much 😃❤️🫰🙏 Lovely Hometown! 😉 Appreciate the love and support ❤️❤️🫰🫰 😁😁

[@txg161]

34:56 Anthony said “gin tee nee” (eat here)… the cashier replied “tarn tee nee” (eat here).. “gin” is common way to say eat but “tarn” is a very polite way to say it (words use in different social classes). Thai workers in the food service industries are very polite by nature. That’s why you’ll always hear “krup” or “ka” at the end of every sentences they speak. You rarely hear them say “gin”, even at the cheapest food stalls on sidewalks. Pay attention next time you guys interact with them. You’ll see what I’m talking about. 😉 Great video btw. It’s definitely fun watching you guys eat your way through Krung Thep krup. 👍🏾

[@ChovyTravel]

Ahh got it! Darn Google 😁. First time we heard “Kin Tee Nee was at On Nut when we tried Local Thai Food for the First Time and we confirmed on Google too so we thought it was correct. Thanks for clarifying it 😃❤️🫰🙏! A lot of times, we can say some words but we don’t really understand when they respond 😅😅😅.

[@txg161]

It isn’t wrong to say “kin” tee née but it’s much more polite to say “tarn” than “kin”… that’s why the cashier in the video replied to you by using the word “tarn”… but of course, you wouldn’t know what she said if you didn’t know that “tarn” meant “eat” also.. not your fault krup. @ChovyTravel

[@txg161]

You can say “tarn tee nee krup”. That’s the ultimate way to present yourself while showing respect to the vendors krup. 😉

[@ChovyTravel]

Got it, thank you 😃❤️🫰🙏!

[@ChovyTravel]

That’s good to know. Appreciate it ❤️❤️🫰🫰!

[@saturnjul]

At Ong tong, my fav is Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao (Rice Vermicelli with Northern Thai Curry Sauce) & pu-ong 🦀 (It is made by collecting the "fat" of rice paddy crabs and grilling this inside the crab shell) If u have chance, don’t forget to try them. So good :)))

[@Jonggonneetob]

I actually never explored the Ari area at all when I lived and worked in Bangkok (around Ratchaprasong intersection) years ago seems like there are so many interesting things to see from your video or maybe they just have so many new places and developments 😊

[@ChovyTravel]

I don’t know how it was back then but it looks like it’s a very hip and trendy place to be amongst Thai people. Seen some Korean/Chinese Foreigners too. Definitely recommend it when you come this summer 😃❤️🫰🙏!

[@Jonggonneetob]

We live in Oregon and we have mostly trees,mountains and all nature everywhere around here. My husband and my kids are always amazed how Bangkok has lots of interesting things to see and do 😊 they told me that we have only couple months and we will be there soon ❤

[@ChovyTravel]

Yup that’s Oregon 😂. Never been but heard it’s mainly nature. That’s great the whole family is excited to go to Bangkok 😃❤️🫰🙏.

[@A0047-z6g]

That dish is called Kao Soi. It’s from Northern Thailand. It’s a combination of Chinese noodle and Burmese style curry obviously from location of its origin in the north of Thailand like Chiang Mai. Unlike Isaan food like Som Tum or royal bangkok cuisines like Tom kha kai, Tom yum kung etc which got passed along down the generations boosting its international recognition, Northern Thai cuisines are hard to replicate due to its unique ingredients and mostly due to the lower number of people from the north of Thailand abroad. (most of Thai people abroad are from northeastern and middle part of thailand)

[@ChovyTravel]

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing 😃❤️🫰🙏! So Unique and interesting to know the history of the dishes of Thailand and where they’re from.

[@TheOnlimeeh]

At 40 mins that dessert you guys thought it was lotus root. It’s actually water chestnut coated with tapioca. It’s call water chestnut rubies

[@ChovyTravel]

Thank you for letting us know! 🥰❤️🫰🙏 That’s it! Totally makes sense now! 😁

[@TheNaturalbake]

[@ChovyTravel]

We love Ari! 😁 100% Agree! We still have to go back and check out that food court for sure!

[@louis20122]

You should do a vlog about what to carry with you while out and about like mosquito spray, wipes, umbrella, etc.

Work environment in Thailand is definitely much more casual, to the point that most foreigners that have experienced our work culture will either think that it's so comfortable or that Thai people are lazy, especially those from East Asian countries like South Korea, China and Japan will most likely thinks the latter, because the contrast is super apparent. Some people take their pillow along with them to their work, just to nap on their table in their break, some place the ac is so cold they bring their whole blanket with them.

[@ChovyTravel]

That’s wonderful! I think working in a comfortable work environment is great! Honestly, that’s very similar to some US work environment as well! Very comfortable that’s why we felt that it was great they’re like that in Thailand too 😃❤️🫰🙏! We thought that was smart.
