Glad I made your day! Video editing takes a long time unfortunately. This is why television shows and movies have a big budget and a team. I’m just one person making these videos and I also have to work, I have a family and I have lots other demands on my time. When I started editing this video I had more than 600 short video clips that I reviewed and/or edited to make this one longer video and that takes time. To make this video it took me every spare moment I have had in the last 6 days. I will start editing next week’s video tomorrow, hopefully the next one will be faster to make :)

Thanks mate! It's getting closer .. I found the restaurant where I'll try them. We ate there on the way home from this trip on a mate's recommendation. He said, "it's the best seafood restaurant in the world", and having eaten there I can say that perhaps it is (video coming soon). Unfortunately it's 200 km from where we live, but they will do a mantis shrimp dish on order, if you give them 2 day's notice. Hopefully I will be getting into some mantis shrimp goodness soon!

Hi Darren, hope you and your family are well. Wondering how long it takes you to get to Koh Samui? Seems pretty close to Krabi. I assume you take a ferry? I think you're a bit of a closet snagaholic. Get your western food fix with tasty sausages. Notice your trusty photographer was in good form. Wonder how he gets all those close up happy snaps of locals. Trade secret no doubt. I envy you your choice with all that incredible Thai food at your doorstep.
@darrenb36 жыл бұрын
Yes, we're all well thanks Doug, hope you're well too. Yes, Samui is relatively close to us - it's about a two and a half hour drive to the ferry pier at Don Sak and then about an hour and a half on the ferry. There's not much point trying to hide my Thai sausage addiction ... they're definitely one of my favourite Thai street foods! My trusty videographer was me this time. My friend who helps me sometimes has been back in Germany for a bit over a month... thankfully he has shared a few trade secrets with me ;). Those closeups are done with a long (200mm) lens. Yes, we are very blessed with the range of delicious food here!

I ate them once, but they were small ones from a supermarket and they had been frozen. They had virtually no taste. I spoke to a chef at a seafood restaurant recently and he said you need to get big ones and they must be extremely fresh (killed right before cooking) in order to get the best flavour. There will be a video of it when I do eat them in the correct manner.
