AYUTTHAYA, THAILAND - One of the greatest delicacies in Thailand are giant freshwater river prawns - they are some of the biggest and tastiest in the world. Today we’re going to one of my favorite river prawn restaurants in Thailand and we’ll also eat at a few Thai food gems in Ayutthaya.
Baan Ta-Koh-Rai (บ้านตะโกราย) - maps.app.goo.gl/oZKNu8e432Ycw... - This restaurant in Ayutthaya was featured in the Michelin Guide and it’s a fantastic place to try local central Thai dishes that especially revolve around freshwater fish and shrimp. I tried the Cartilage Pork Ribs with Tree Basil (ผัดกระดูกอ่อนใบยี่หร่า) , Shrimp relish (แสร้งว่ากุ้ง), Fish choo chee curry (ฉู่ฉี่ปลาเนื้ออ่อน), Jungle curry fish balls (แกงป่าลูกชิ้นปลากราย)
Total price: 1,410 THB ($38.99)
Rimnam Restaurant (ร้านริมน้ำบางไทรอยุธยา) - maps.app.goo.gl/3F7uDSAfn4Kmk... - This is one of the best places to eat huge Thai river prawns (freshwater shrimp) in Ayutthaya. Don’t miss the Grilled prawns (กุ้งเผา), Prawn claws with lotus stems (ก้ามกุ้งผัดสายบัว), Crab relish (หลนปู), Choo chee fish curry (ปลาน้ำเงินฉู่ฉี่). Price - 1,500 THB ($41.77) per kg
Ha Dak Aeng Pochana (ร้านหาแดกเองโภชนา) - maps.app.goo.gl/HRSLFhLKsS1dk... - This is a self service Thai jungle food restaurant and the Chef is hilarious. Don’t miss the Small fried fish (ปลาทรายทอด), Fried fish balls (ทอดมันปลา), Spicy fried frog (กบผัดเผ็ด), Tom yum fish eggs (ต้มยำไข่ปลาสวาย). Total price - 1,060 THB ($29.52)
Again, I’ve had Thai freshwater river shrimp many times, but they always are something special!

This is the Mark Weins content that made me start watching this channel years ago.

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you very much!

[@nitricdx]

Same, the legendary river prawn video

[@win4261]

Thailand got most varieties of foods in the world with good taste and reasonable price

[@lih-fk8by]

And all those slow motion replays are going to cause me to quit watching lol

[@glomontero6011]

Definitely! I almost don’t like the other western countries videos. To me Mark’s videos r only of the countries I want to visit. I don’t care to visit western countries they are to much like home and what is the adventure of that. And as for the Middle East I would never go not even if it was a 5 stare free trip. I don’t do hot desert sand! And they have not developed respect for women’s autonomy.

[@youngsixty7395]

This is not just a food & travel channel.. This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old man. 👍👍👍

[@oldfellaoldfella8535]

[@sambawolf9190]

well said brother,well said.thats exactly what I feel about this channel

[@julianamartinvlog]

Agreed❤

[@InvestedAdventure]

@youngsixty7395 This is also what hooked me on his channel even back then. Still one of my inspirations to this date, even with tons of content creators in the travel niche, myself included.💯

[@elvino9395]

I'm going to support it even in the afterlife

[@pisitsuphakit2325]

As much as I love all the international stuff Mark does, I think his Thailand videos are my favourite

[@surachaisura8871]

I know for sure that Mark loves Thai foods the most. You can see apparently on his face.

[@dalwinda]

Although there are thousand food youtubers, this channel remains my favorite

[@scottburrow8717]

13:23 Never have I seen Mark absolutely speechless after eating a bite of food. Usually right after you get the signature MMMMMMMMMMM!! But with this prawn 🍤 he couldn’t talk. That’s impressive!!!

[@oasis7647]

[@hyperlol90]

[@yuppywjt2525]

I love this episode because all 3 of the restaurants you go to are close to my house and I eat there often. If you like this type of Thai food, I would like to recommend another restaurant, Kitchen Emerald (ครัวมรกต), just in Rangsit. It's considered a secret shop. Delicious restaurant of Rangsit people

[@moroccanfoodtour]

Ohh wow. Love from the Kingdom of Morocco ❤❤❤

[@muhammadanassiddiki5753]

Fish & rice is quite the staple dish of Bangladesh !! Lots of similarities between these two tropical countries of the same region.

[@1luv4j]

Brother you're better than Food Network and in my opinion the best on KZbin. You're very knowledgeable about the food the culture the language. You have great friends and great family. And your excitement when you eat food it's just how do I say unique. I'm a soldier United States Army I had stomach cancer I can't eat very much, so watching you is a treat.:-)

[@user-el5cf5jf3x]

Mark great video. Although my wife is from Thailand, a small village called karenni, I am so familiar with a lot of those dishes. Yes people , everyone should definitely try these foods. They're amazing in taste, so much different from American food.

[@samsham8218]

You can see how fresh of the prawns look when they’re being prepared,and how the texture s of the vegetables and color looks too.everything works together very well,so that you can have a delicious meal. The second place you when to the food 👀 amazing,a lot of ingredients together to create a dish you would love,in the bowl of soup,there was a lot of spice ingredients to make a dish you will be very delicious.

[@HAMYY19]

Seafood in Thailand is diverse and rich. Some famous dishes include Tom Yum (spicy soup), Pad Thai (seafood stir-fried noodles), Som Tum (green papaya salad), and Pla Rad Prik (fried fish with chili sauce). Fish sauce and spices play a crucial role, creating the distinctive flavors of Thai seafood cuisine.

[@galindoa21]

Prawns are my favorite 🤤🤤🤤
