Love this. And love that you took your boy out for a day’s real education. ❤️

[@roundlycriticized666]

Absolutely loved this episode! It captured the essence of rural Thailand...fascinating stuff!👍

[@WayneTaylor-ri6ed]

Ryan & Damo & Ti's Absolutely enjoyed this vlog sooo informative and interesting 👍 Your amazing and love watching your beautiful family from the UK 😊

[@betweendrinks8885]

I love new guys excited about bush food it’s a nice touch - showing this to viewers is great - I envision in future you being able to locate label and write about your own findings - I remember many years ago my enthusiasm- I admire your video diversity

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thank you 🙏😊🇹🇭

[@graemeaylward8313]

Thanks for taking us along on this adventure Ryan, Damo and Otis. I always find going into the jungle exciting. My wife loves nothing more than to go into the jungle foraging, or as she calls it "hunting" mainly for mushrooms. She is a real Isaan woman and has a nose for what is good and what is not. Whilst she is hunting mushrooms, I am busy looking at all the different species of insects, arachnids and other fauna scuttling around in the undergrowth. Orapan usually comes home with a full basket of goodies! God bless you all 😀❤🙏

Aw man! This is our jive in the Pacific Northwest of the US. Find it, identify it, cook it, eat it and enjoy it smugly.😊

[@edwardpearce9668]

In rural Isaan its not anything to do with wealth. They are all lovers of living off the land and very proud of it. If in the city and they return home they cant wait to get out on the land to find whats going for the menu during that season. Even if they build a new house many will still cook outside kitchen and sit outside on the mat when eating and prefer to sleep on the floor. Lizards, frogs to catfish rice paddy crabs, fish and snails and field mice and rats some snakes and small birds and many many tree leaves and small plants This week I caught a field rat in my fish dam after heavy rain and it was snapped up pretty quickly with smiles . Laap ngu. spicy minced rat and sticky rice a common delicacy. It is a way to supplement income selling in the market but its nearly all seasonal. Extended families never starve.

[@petercross6960]

I often shed a tear at your vlogs, especially when the family is together and this one was special. keep it up brother

[@sharonlee5773]

Such a beautiful lil’ cafe’! Love watching you guys from here in Canada! We have been following you and your family for the past couple of years now! We really miss visiting Thailand! Have visited different areas of Thailand for past twenty yrs while living overseas! We returned to Canada one yr ago and miss our yearly visits there terribly! Watching your family Ryan helps to keep us connected to our fav Thailand and helps us to keep those special memories alive in our hearts! We cherish every moment we ever spent there! You have such a very beautiful and special family Ryan! Thoughts and love to you all and esp to the kiddies! Know how much they bring so much joy to your lives, and to those of us who watch your videos as well ! Sure the coffee will be a 10 once they perfect it a tad bit more with some time! ❤

[@kenhoffmann3523]

I really enjoyed this episode. This is a bit different but incredibly interesting. A walk through the jungle can be very educational and can be a bit dangerous, but that is educational as well. I would encourage you to do more of these little trips close to home. I am looking forward to seeing you in northern Thailand next month. Ken

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thanks Ken, yes just preparing some things for the trip as we speak, set off August 12th 🙏😁🇹🇭

[@edwardgrand]

The 'Honey Mushrooms' you found are a type of Bolete (maybe Boletellus species). It a reference to the honeycomb-like structure on the bottom of the cap. I miss foraging a bit. Used to live up North. Now in the suburban sprawl of BKK. Nice video. The hard ones near the end are Astraeus hygrometricus. The other 'honey' mushroom is Boletus colossus. The bitter (komb) honey ones are the genus Tylopilus. The dried ones in a bag are Lentinus polychrous. They are farmed too, but also escape into the local jungle. Thanks for taking me back to the jungle :)

[@maiileelaa3193]

I love natural life style so muche. no chemical we can eat some fogs, many insects, fish, mushrooms, shell and wild plants.❤

Really enjoyed this one guys, something different and nice to learn new things. Can't wait to see you cook and eat the mushrooms 😊

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thank you Helen 🙏😊🇹🇭

[@DaveTheDasher77]

Great vlog mate, In Australia,I used to go out with the indigenous people and collect amazing things in the bush. Limes ,peppers,mushrooms,yams,many things that you would walk past not knowing they are edible,,and very bloody tasty.

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Definitely need a professional 😁🙏🇹🇭

[@trentpatton2616]

We get the honey mushrooms here in Australia , im up in the snowy mountains .

[@lifeinruralthailand]

A lucky find 😁

[@trentpatton2616]

@LifeInRuralThailand 🤣 yeah we find it around the pine trees , this was a great vlog Ryan really enjoyed it 🙏

[@michaelj2528]

Always interesting and informative and entertaining, I have never liked mushrooms I have to say its something about the texture .

[@mikeazpiroz9292]

enjoyed this one very much. would it be difficult to add mushrooms to your farm?

Outstanding video. My favorite, along with the Isan wedding. Tremendous respect and exposure to these fascinating aspects of life. Thank you.

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thanks Tony 🙏

[@VistaThaiGuy]

Back in the late 60's and early 70's, I used to get honey off of the trees with a coconut smoldering husk and a machete. My favorite plant/food was a vine green I remember as "doi-dang" that was like a cucumber plant with Roma tomato-like fruit. We made a soup with it and ground meat and spices. Bamboo shoots was a favorite!!! Not a big fan of insects and worms...they're there!!!

[@oywatters9415]

Foraging on your doorstep, fascinating 👍🙏

Now you are learning about exotic plants you can grow on you little slice of heaven you call home , that is so kool how you found the bush food in the market and a restaurant that serve it ,on the other side of the spectrum, bushmeat, monkeys, rats , and stray dogs

[@vernongeralddanielsmuizz6878]

Good morning Ryan from Malaysia..l should say...this video has one of the best vlogging in comparison not only to most of your videos but also to most other vloggers..Beautiful sceneries....Very good idea..Ryan to make a video on herbs and natural scenes..thank you ❤

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thank you for this 🙏

[@WalkingmanPattaya]

Brilliant Ryan, nice drone footage as well. I feel so privileged and lazy at 65 looking at those Thai women my age who still forage for food in the jungle to eat and sell at the market. I also get moody when tired or hungry, I think most people do! 555 All the best. Peace and Love

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Cheers Ric - you too 🙏🙏

[@seekhearts]

wow, this is straight up my alley. reminds me of when my family home as a child backed onto the bush here in sydney and my mother and i would walk in and forage for mushrooms and herbs to make soups. little bit more of a snake problem here but i love these sort of bushwalks. awesome video

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Glad you enjoyed it 😁🇹🇭🙏

My father was good at digging for Cockchafer (แมงกีนูน) in those jungle. That's my childhood life I remembered.

[@mattalford389]

Very interesting. My Wife loved watching that. She's crazy on finding wild Mushrooms to eat. It reminds her of her days when she was a child I think!!

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Glad she enjoyed it 🙏😁

[@southpaw1755]

Very interesting episode. Near our home in Chonburi the Kuhn Yi's pick kaffer lime leaves that grow wild in open fields to make Thai pla curry with. My wife's favorite.

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Lovely 😁🙏🇹🇭

[@izamarina]

I love all those jungle foods!! All those you showed in this vlog, I have them growing in my jungle garden 😂.. I live uphill in the jungle of Brunei..I learn to eat them from my Iban tribe friends ❤. Great vlog! love it xx

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thank you and glad you liked it 🙏😊🇹🇭

[@iskandartaib]

This is the Khorat Plateau, so it's a bit drier than the western and southern parts of Thailand. It's more like savannah or scrub, not the thick Dipterocarp rain forests you find in wetter places. Incidentally, the University where I work has a mushroom research group, I wonder if they have gotten into Lion's Mane yet. Last I talked to them they were experimenting with Chinese medicinal mushrooms (Ling Zhi etc.).

[@FruitingBodyPodcast]

We would love to connect with people researching mushrooms at your University. I believe mushroom research is starting to be pushed forward at University's now. Were you able to connect with anyone and see if they are doing any research on Lion's Mane?

[@briancampbell4028]

Nice guy across the road from me goes into the jungle at night 5min from here and finds beautiful fungi/ mushrooms, we often buy it from him!

[@lifeinruralthailand]

do you ever pick blue meanies mushrooms bro?

[@themoon73]

Hi Ryan. Great video! I live in Korat with my wife. She is originally from Buriram. We actually just went to Baan na Tawan the other day, as you filmed at the end, Lol. Just curious as to the location of the market where you got those wild mushrooms. If you wouldn't mind sharing that location, we'd be much obliged! We would sure love to get some of those large honey mushrooms. They look fantastic! Thanks!

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Hey it’s in the road over the hill going from lahan sai into sa Keow 😁

[@themoon73]

@@lifeinruralthailand Great, thanks! I'll probably be out that way again in a few weeks, so I'll be sure to check it out!

[@hans-ulrichfischer963]

thanks for sharing... nice to watch. Good you fid not meet any dangerous snakes , spiders, other insects.. or whatever dangerous we imagine in the jungle 😂

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thanks for watching. 🙏

[@KavanOBrien]

Easy song for today = The Bare Necessities = Phil Harris. Do you grow that mushroom yourself? Lions main ? Also can I grow it here in Devon ?

[@lifeinruralthailand]

They a very difficult to grow - that one was grown by a friend in phuket 😁

[@KavanOBrien]

@@lifeinruralthailand Oh , I like a challenge, where would one buy seeds or plug plants ? Are they only indigenous to Thailand, sorry for asking stupid questions, others like me for doing so because it makes others look much more intelligent than oneself.

[@jackh1749]

Interesting video. When picking mushrooms, I was told by an expert to always snip the mushroom and not pull out the mycelium which is akin to just picking the fruit and not the whole plant. This way it can propagate again. Any experts mushroomers out there agree or disagree?

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Yes that’s correct, cut at the base so the mycelium can fruit again 🙏

[@mrboogang]

Imagine what the future holds for the currently unknown discovery of plant species around the world. Truly the worlds medicine. Thanks for the video brother, and educating Tis about his surroundings. Amazing. Should be part of the current curriculum of all schools around the world, not the current sociopolitical nonsense and insanity we currently have.

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Thanks my friend 🙏🙏

[@robertdunn3734]

Reminds of a few years back, when I loaded up the Yais in the truck and took them out to the forest around Phanum Rung 3-4 times a year for foraging. I would fish at the lake close by while they foraged. Always a great meal afterwards. Can’t beat nam prit with fresh vegetables from the forest. ❤

[@lifeinruralthailand]

The good old days in Isan my friend 🙏😁🇹🇭

[@robertdunn3734]

Yes, sadly most of the Yais have passed on. Grateful for the memories of them. Thanks for the video, which brought back many fond moments of my time in Thailand. Keep Otis engaged with this traditional lifestyle, exploring and learning about the many delicious/healthy “jungle” foods.

[@mercy2me1]

Can you grow ginger in Thailand & how valuable is it?

[@richardtaylor410]

We have ginger on the farm in Borabue, Maha Sarakham. It's not an expensive item if you have to buy it, so not much money in growing it. It is more of an offset garden item.

[@williamhartz8707]

There’s a village “community forest/ jungle” 1km from my house which I take my morning walks to with my dog. Supposedly no one is to cut down the trees but locals will take fallen branches for firewood. During dry season they’ll start fires ( leaving them unattended) which is to help the mushrooms grow ( and adds to the haze during this season). People will go there scavenge around for ant nests ( eggs) and certain roots and leaves. Unfortunately many Isaan people are superstitious about the forest thinking there are ghosts roaming about so don’t seem to have interest in taking care of this oasis of greenery. All the wild animals like have been poached except for a couple squirrels. Sadly the locals are too lazy to dump their construction debris or other garbage in a proper dump yard so dump it along the one dirt lane that goes through the community forest. ( no shame) Seeing how the forest can provide food and medicine makes me wonder how much of this knowledge was lost generations ago in the Western world.

[@joemann2178]

I will have to go and search the local forest for mushrooms, but I'm always looking up for birds mostly. My girlfriend gets hangry sometimes, but luckily there is always food around every corner in town 😅

[@kuzinit2374]

I was researching Ancor wat at one time , it is a giant temple in the middle of the jungle , as they researched the area they discovered that the whole jungle used to be agricultural land with a network of irrigation canals farms and houses , so it makes sense that the jungle is overgrown with edible plants, but you need to be careful you don’t fall in a canal and get hurt

I must say I was a bit disappointed with your haul of forage from your local jungle.We get more here in Germany. Maybe you left it too late in the day.Early bird gets the worm

We love the mix of languages in some of your videos, it shows that borders are artificial and we can blame that on the bloody Europeans😂😂😂
