Exploring Thai Summer Foods (and Bangkok's Old City) on One of Thailand's Hottest Days Ever

[@padapapapa7466]

Wow bro this channel is the best english-speaking channel about thai food ever. Much much better than cooking pailin's kitchen and every other channel. You guys are litterally the best

[@OTRontheroad]

Very kind words. Thanks so much for the support

[@tcong9616]

Adam and Jasper, great stamina, candid delivery, articulately shared. Thanks for including us again on your walk around. Love the captured 7-11 AC relief moments. We can empathise (we live in BKK too) and we still love your videos!

So happy to see people from all over the world come visit thailand and trying our cuisines, i hope you enjoy your stay here

Another amazing video! I still cannot figure out why the yt algorithm hasnt been kinder to you and you havnt blown up. I can only conclude that some of the thumb nails are not click baity enough as i find it hard to find fault in any of the videos your team has produced. The color grading, story, editing in every video is great and would be worthy of any Anthony Boudain episode. I love asian history and have been fortunate enough as a westerner to study at both Chulalongkorn University and Tsinghua, but i still learn so much i wasnt aware of (ignorant towards) every video! Keep up the great work!

[@OTRontheroad]

Thank you! Hey- it's a long game. Just enjoying the process and having fun challenging ourselves every week. And for a new channel (just hit 8 months) I can't expect much more- just found a post from mid-February when I was celebrating having 100,000 video views. Getting up towards a million two months later. Growing as well as I could hope I suppose.

[@Josh_009]

@@OTRontheroad yes I believe your right, it is snowballing and growing exponentially. From 100k to 2mil in 2 months proves that. I hope I didn't sound negative, I just want more people to come across these great videos so I get to see more myself. I guess the great thing is, is that the videos are of such high quality that someone only needs to see one to become a fan and watch more.

[@kevinpatch7198]

I just stumbled on this channel a week ago and I am truly blown away by the overall quality of the videos..and the interesting topics. I'm an American, but have spent most of the last 12 years living outside of Bangkok in Nonthaburi (20+ years since my first visit). So most of the topics are familiar to me (Klong Thoei, old city, Khao Gaeng (aka...food) etc. But the channel does such a great job treating each subject in detail and with such well researched photos and other facts. I am left with one question..why isn't your Thai better?! As a Thai-as-a-second-language speaker/reader, I struggle listening to your pronunciation of some of the Thai. It seems to be purely "read from the English transliteration"....like "hor mok" sounding like "whore maak", instead of the way it really is in Thai "haw mohk". It is similar to "Mo Chit" BTS...which some people mispronounce because they see it as "mo" or "more", but the sound is really "maw". I recommend you learn to read Thai, it is much harder to mispronounce once you learn that..because it is very precise, and not ambiguous or misleading the way the english transliteration can be. Anyway, fantastic content...can't wait for more! And it was delightful seeing Jasper included....seeing it as a team production was much more satisfying that just the previous single host and magic self-propelled camera. Ha.

I wanted to comment on the WHORE MOK episode but glad an American did first...

[@donaldgrove2249]

When I first came to Thailand (2001) I thrived on heat. I'm American, but I grew up in Mexico, and I preferred warm weather, even very warm weather. I would hike around Bangkok in the 100 degree weather like it was nothing (and I used a printed map-- the olden days!) Now, in my 60s, it ain't so easy. I make a bee-line from Bangkok to the North, where it ain't so hot. But I salute you. Well done! (and I love your videos).

[@PizzaLogger]

You uploaded this video just hours before my flight to Bangkok and I'm SO GLAD I caught it in time! Nattaphon Coconut Ice Cream was a blessing during the heat and happened to be mere minutes from where I was staying! Great video as always and thanks for the great recommendations.

[@na-te-ei-teiglobal5507]

Another viral restaurant trend that has been on the rise for more than 10 years in Thailand is “All You Can Eat” or in Thailand we call them “Buffet” restaurants. The styles range from rice dishes, noodles, Seafood, International food, Japanese food, Hot Pot, Suki Yaki, Bakery Buffet, Durian Buffet. You should try them out. 😊 Those restaurants are for example: • Suki Yaki - Suki Teenoi (สุกี้ตี๋น้อย) • International Food - Copper Buffet (At THE SENSE, Pinklao) or in different hotels. • Japanese Food - OISHI Buffet, Shabushi Buffet, AKA (Buffet), ZEN (Buffet) . . .

Well illustrated with research supported. I will keep on following your work for sure.

[@eswillie]

One of your best, if not the best. I was glad to hear you mention Taoism as a philosophy rather than a religion as so many "westerners" and farangs do. I'm also wishing I could have some of what you ate in that Hainanese-Thai spot.....bet it helped you get through the day. As for the heat and humidity and heat index, I get that its hot and you should stay hydrated, but it wouldn't bother me all that much.....been there, done that and quite recently and I love it; considering my age that's surprising to some, but I never think of it as a challenge the way I think of cold and damp. Kudos for this.

[@OTRontheroad]

Thank you! And yes, hearing Taoism called a religion is a definite pet peeve of mine as well.

[@lalida6432]

Yes! I was on an island in Thailand and on a hot day, the only store with AC was 7-Eleven. Most people were just going in to get a break from the heat.

[@persepolis80]

When I moved to Thailand, I already expected to be hot so the heat was not a surprise. Also, living in Austin, Texas and Palm Springs, California also helped in acclimating to the tropical temperatures.

[@isanBen]

I came from Denmark, this is my first time experiencing the fire month here and must admit, it's far beyond anything I have tried and I backpacked through Jordan during the summer, still love it here tho, not that bad, cough cough, thank God for air-conditioning 🥳 blessings from Khon Kaen 🙏🥳🇹🇭🥰

[@DianeH2038]

oh, that's a lot to go through! I used to do makeup on movies in the summer heat and high humidity in Central Texas -- I remember the temperatures indoors were actually the worst, because we always had to turn off the AC for sound and the locations were usually filled with people and lights; the temps would climb over 120 F quickly. I can remember walking out into blazing sun with 105 F temperatures and it actually felt refreshing and cooling to walk out into that. but 120 F is hot no matter what the humidity; I remember that from living in Arizona. man I don't miss mopping sweat off people (a.k.a. hot weather "movie makeup") in the heat, I'll admit. but I sure did learn how to eat differently, and that I could NOT drink caffeine between 10 am and 8 pm if I didn't want to feel faint. I don't really sweat, either, so I had to work hard to avoid heat stroke. one of the fastest ways to cool down is to get a bag of ice and put it behind your knee -- a huge artery runs there & it'll cool you off faster than ice on your head or neck, and without the headache. :-) stay cool!

[@OTRontheroad]

GREAT tip on the back of the knee. And yeah- I totally believe you about the interior being hotter than being outside. When we do our voice recording, I have to turn off all fans and air conditioning to record- and that's just for maybe half an hour at a time. But that's enough for the house to feel borderline unlivable. I can't imagine a full day of shooting (with a lot of people crowded in, I'd imagine) in those conditions.

Very interesting dishes, which I probably won’t be able to try for myself, like that beef tongue in tomato. As former cooks of the British colonial master, Hainanese descents in Southeast Asia seem to have a rather… unique relationship with Worcestershire sauce.

@@LaVitaNouva Doing that already with a fan turned on to help, but it doesn't. I noticed if abient temp outside is above 28c then my AC can't cool that. The cooling indicator light is constantly, on but the AC cools for about 10m before it starts blowing warm air for 20-30m before it cools again for 10m, cycle repeats. The room temp bobs between 29-31c even 32c-33c at peak even with the AC is set to 24c or lower.
