I love watching your food tours. It helps me to eliminates my homesick and craving the real authentic Thai food. BTW, I am a 100% Thai and living in the USA / DC. Thank you for sharing your experience and videos! Keep up the great work. 🙌🙏🇹🇭🇺🇲

[@LukeMartin]

Thanks for your comment!! Glad you can enjoy!

That looks beautiful, the food and not just the vlogger. Thailand is so beautiful. I never had river prawn. The Prawns look so interesting. This vlog always have interesting food to show.

[@jomontanee]

Thank you so much for your kindest words. 🙏🙏💗💗🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭

[@SatishKumar41]

Thank you Luke for this amazing series and showing us Ayutthaya. The river prawns really looked delicious. I will be sure to visit this city on my visit to Thailand. Keep up the great work and best wishes.

[@piputnmesawang3015]

I’m so jealous that you are having so delicious Thai dishes.This is what Thai people eat,a proper meals.Make me hungry now.I used to sell roti saimai when I was young.I saw a gut making it.He must have strong arm and resistance hands because the syrup is extremely hot and you have to do it quick.This is my favorite snack.When you are in Thailand we must try.

[@ebsmites7544]

Those prawns made my mouth water. They were massive. And expensive by the sounds

[@cancel.lgbtq.6892]

That place is legit. I went there in 2019 , had one of their river prawns and man I can't describe how good that was. That place is really busy and always packed.

[@ianbocarile2785]

One thing about this Thailand Food Series is there's so much things to offer❤ The prawns looks so yummy😋😍

[@LukeMartin]

Oh ya Thailand is food paradise!

[@gogetemboys]

@@LukeMartin - Luke, what's the name of the song from 16:30-17:00 ? Thanks.

[@tanishaspence7533]

Those river prawns 🦐 are beautiful and super yummy and the seafood fried rice 🍚 delicious 😋 that’s a wonderful combination. I love 💕 good 👍🏾 Thai food.

[@LukeMartin]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@germanbeer2466]

Thai food is great. I am loving the stay here with the great people.

[@anniecrawford5911]

Thank you for sharing all the flavors of this amazing colorful country. Wish I could be there. Happy trails!💐

[@Sweetpixels01]

Oh those prawns look fabulous! Thank You so much for another great video!

[@manolexing68]

You​ are​ a champion!!! You​ found​ your​ way to​ the​ most well​ known​ dish of central Thailand. That is​ such an in-demand food in the​ country. Price​d at around 1,200-1,800 Baht per kilogram, it's​ pretty​ expensive as well. It's​definitely​ a treat for the​taste buds.

[@katrinahoffman5837]

Thank you! I’ve never seen that unique sweet roti before. I loved watching how skilfully it was made. And those river prawns have got me hungry!!

[@DrBrunoRecipes]

Love prawns👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻

[@yuppywjt2525]

This is my family's favorite restaurant and i'm glad you like it.The river prawns you eat are caught from the Chao Phraya River here.

[@brandonjames7408]

Fantastic video Luke, your facial expression eating the prawns was almost illegal on youtube. Your hotel looks like it was also stunning. Lots of love from Australia.

[@LukeMartin]

😂 thanks Brandon!

[@markbrazil4408]

Nicely done, excellent content and editing. Love the drone footage!

[@BethDiaryofAnIntrovert]

Oh finally you guys came to Thailand!! Welcome !!!

[@annelizebuitendach7523]

That looked absolutely amazing and yummy.

[@henkkamatikaine2808]

Not big on candy or sweet things overall myself, but very cool to see that man making that candy with such an expertise.

[@thealmightyz73]

Luke you are living the life man. Huge fan of your channel! 👍

[@lovefreebee]

from foods to candy ev'rything is so colorful & labor intensive...love it great video!

[@mikanacollective]

Amazing.. I cant wait to go back there soon!. I love your videos

[@patl5533]

Hey Luke....I also thought the saimai looked like dragon's beard candy where it's pulled & twisted into long thin strands and served with crushed peanuts on top. The roti is like the way popiah skin is made in Malaysia. Popiah is a wrap filled with stewed turnip, dried prawns, omelet, beansprouts, fried shallots, lettuce topped with a sweet & spicy chilli sauce. Try it when you are in Malaysia next.

[@TheRareVideosXL]

This was a very enjoyable video. I love the River Prawns. Keep it up.

[@LukeMartin]

🙏

[@alisonsoifer4191]

All of your food that you eat looks so delicious!

[@B2022-n3n]

Great video. I notice some of mark wiens’ influence in the way you react to the camera. Hope you can keep making these travel/food/culture vids for a long time. You’re living the dream man!

[@jasminedieu]

This was a fun video to watch! :)

[@giannishen]

The shrimp in Thailand are so big, and the auntie who cuts the shrimp is very skilled; That plate of fried rice looks very delicious, and it's really heroic to eat it with green onions; That kind of candy is indeed very similar to Dragon Beard Candy, which is more advanced; From the look on your face, that bowl of boat noodles must be very delicious, thanks for sharing！👍😃👏 泰國的蝦好大隻，切蝦的阿姨技術超棒的；那盤炒飯看起來很好吃，配蔥吃真是豪邁； 那種糖的做法確實與龍鬚糖很像，更高級；看你的表情那碗船麵一定很美味，謝謝你！

[@LukeMartin]

Thanks Gianni!

[@giannishen]

@@LukeMartin You are very welcome, thank you very much too, you are very kind and friendly！ Have a beautiful life and have a great travel, take care！👍😃🙏

[@coolcheetah123]

Luke!!! This is awesome video... completely turned out my mouth watery!!! Those river prawns looks so good... OMG look at your face😅Just cannot wait to be out there in Thailand...wow amazing stuff!!!

[@สุทธิศักดิ์มธุรพงศากุล]

It's a bit pricey but it's tastier than the lobster I've eaten both.

[@ลินจงคร่ํากระโทก]

thank you for this from Thailand.ขอบคุณนะค่ะอย่าลืมกลับมาอีกนะค่ะ

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. D river prawns n d angel hair candy looked delicious.

I love your lovely narratives about the food. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and 2024! I love spicy Thai food. ❤❤

[@wilaisuadee3158]

First to see making Sai Mai 😮😮 and giant prawns look so yummy

[@mojonewslk]

That looks beautiful, the food and not just the vlogger.

[@peacharika67]

Wow! It’s very old traditional method to make the cotton candy (or roti salami). The old man said to the lady outside that you need to order over months! All the food you had in this video looks delicious. Thank you for sharing this great video!👍

[@obayedh]

Man! The coolest desserts in the world IMHO! Mouth-watering!!

[@sansaneeswangvudthitham1811]

Welcome back Luke and Sabrina

[@abuwarith1]

You and a couple of other food vlogers always show things I haven't seen. Thanks for the great content 👍. Where's Sabrina?

[@guytiips3906]

River Prawns + seafood sauce = Super

[@jomontanee]

Awwwww….that HUGE juicy prawn…. are you torturing me??? 6:08 YOUR FACE TELLS ALL!! 😂 10:50 The customer said she came late so she couldn’t buy his roti cotton candy. And the owner said, “You are right. My booking is full until the end of March”. WHAO! He is a real deal!!!

[@LukeMartin]

Oh ya! I was lucky to get a bag!

[@asridj1956]

I've been to Thailand 3 times. but I never found cotton candy with roti like that. next time I have to look for it 😆

[@farhana6016]

Wow that candy is some muscle work!!!

[@LukeMartin]

Oh ya!

[@jomontanee]

I will never look at the roti candy the same way again. Brutal arts.

[@ssuay]

You should visit 3 southern border provinces. The food culture here is a mixture of Malayu-Thai and also chinese. It's the most diverse place in the Thailand in term of local culture. Definitely very very different from other part of Thailand.

[@foodhistory1387]

I'm enjoying your Thailand vids.

[@LukeMartin]

Glad you like them!

[@kimivo]

Omg… the shrimp and the HEAD BUTTER 😍

[@jomontanee]

YES! The westerners just chop the heads off. Darn, you miss the best thing ever!

[@sonalsingh8473]

Thank you for the video. Wondering about Sabrina, noticed that you are holding the camera. Missed her in this video!

[@sing759]

17:08 .. woww that bring back a lot of memories for thai noodle ..

[@andrewwinch9420]

Hi Dan just to say that your blog is a breath of fresh air. And Grumpy is great fun. My name is Andy from England. I lived in Thailand for a while so some of the places you visit are known to me.Just one question where does Grumpy get her accent from, it sounds a bit like North England. Keep on the good work guys

[@teerasakchunjit3860]

Amazing Thailand very delicious food.

[@wiwinmiftahussolehah6863]

That sweet gulali on bread in Indonesia called "rambut nenek" Is my favorite food when I was in elementary school until now.

[@stelianosfilidis273]

man i love watching your videos i remember seeing you with 20k subs, i love the videos and hard work! subscriber for life

[@LukeMartin]

🙏🙏😊😊

[@annacordova3582]

Very well presented and looks delicious thanks👏👏

[@ungkun]

Looks amazing! Great vids! Your "Japanese" slurping is epic! Never tried boat noodle with egg noodle before, how is it compared to kuay teow (rice noodle) boat noodle?

[@สุทธิศักดิ์มธุรพงศากุล]

Its origin is from selling noodles on boats along the river and selling them to houses or rafts. Locals call it boat noodles.

[@annie6771]

My favorites in Ayutthaya. Love love prawns n roti samai.

[@orjan2814]

you find the right restaurants so it is very very delicious without doubt

[@Lakshmisvlog957]

Hi Luke 💞 happy to see new vlog

Cant wait to visit Indo again soon!

[@TiffanyDing]

[@joeybkk]

That’s why … “Have you eaten yet?” (Kin-Khaw-Laew-Rue-Young) is the common Thai phrase use to greet each other 😅

[@Yogirliej4dee]

It's the same in most Asian countries

[@AStupidTourist]

Can never go wrong with boat noodles ..and those river prawns are so delicious , loved you trying to stretch the candy 😅 .. PS Watching whilst riding a bus from istanbul to Izmir ! 🍺🍺🍺

[@gracenadar6017]

Wow tasty food tour 😋👍

[@marijusofficial]

River prawns+Roti sai mai+Boat noodles=Perfect Thai food.I agree no need to use sauce a lot to preserve most natural taste.Big chunks of beef might be better than Kobe beef.Some people might argue,but i would say Thailand price and quality balance as well as deliciousness over Japanese food.I am glad boat noodles were included,really myself i havent tried roti sai mai a lot and i think only once or so,but you get the most authentic one,river prawns it is just mind blowing as well as Ayuthaya's boat noodles.Great food paradise video,looking forward for the next video.

[@taniakrasteva7571]

Very delicious, make me hungry🤩🤗😋

[@LukeMartin]

Thank you 😋

6:07 you will know the bite is good when anyone pulls off a mark wiens involuntarily after a bite.

[@jomontanee]

You notice the minute and I do too!!😂

[@ernestojr.acosta972]

I remember trying that “floss” candy when I visited Ayutthaya way back in 2000. I can’t say that I particularly liked it. I just couldn’t pin point whether it was sweet or salty.

[@majorkade]

Great video. I'm on my way to Bangkok in late May.

[@rambutketiak]

14:23 in my country they sandwiched that floss candy into 2 plain crackers, we call it rambut nenek (grandma’s hair)
