How is Coconut Milk Made? - From Farm to Cans! Mini Documentary

This video was the most fun shoot I've ever been on! My brother Art (who's the camera man) and I went on an adventure to find out how coconut milk is made in Thailand, from how the coconuts are grown, all the way to how they package it into the cans that you buy half way across the world. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did making it, and I hope the information is interesting!
Special thanks to the Thai Trade Centre Vancouver for sponsoring this video and making all the arrangements for this trip. And thanks also to my brother for the great camera work through Thailand's summer heat!

Yeah​

[@therealsocialgadfly]

I so agree with you about Thai coconut being the best. When I buy coconut water to drink, I only buy something that states, "Imported from Thailand", on the label. And yeah, you really can tell the difference.

[@YummYakitori]

Marc Caldwell I’m from Southeast Asia (Singapore) and I do agree that Thai coconut water tastes better, and more refreshing than say, Vietnamese coconut water (which tastes more artificial for some reason even though I’m drinking the water directly from the fruit). Malaysian coconut water tastes pretty good as well but they are not widely available outside of the country or region. Singapore is pretty small so we don’t have enough land to produce our own coconuts 😅 Coconuts in our country are almost always imported from neighbouring countries

[@cHemon]

It angers me that these innocent people and thousands others in Thailand will be in trouble because of an unfair accusation by PETA and retailers in the UK leading to a ban on Thailand’s coconut products .

[@jimboyduque9726]

I really love this vadiobecause i love coconut

[@AnzanHoshinRoshi]

Thank you, Pailin. This is very interesting.

[@limjoey4635]

I love it that you are showing the upward process of the ingredients you use for cooking. Its good for anyone who loves cooking not only know how to cook, but how the ingredients that we use are made! Keep it up!

[@NiisiM]

7:56 that coconut randomly decides to crack haha

[@andywilson5509]

Absolutely fascinating, Pai! Thanks so much for making the video!

Thank you for the great video. What a fun, informative coconut adventure.

[@Paj21Kat]

[@sh3n3ng]

when i was a kid, my grandma would go to the jungle in the back of our house get a coconut from the tree peel it herself then make it into coconut milk by herself and then cook us some curry, thinking back it was incredible how much she could do all that before dinner.... now the jungle became a random warehouse and i buy coconut milk from supermarket ....

[@niccopernicus8966]

Thank you, Pai. I loved this video. I had no idea this was how they grow coconuts in Thailand. I always had confidence in Thai coconut products, but now I know that confidence is more than justified. A toast to you on my next gulp of young coconut water.
