I would recommend ”Laem Charoen Seafood” at Central World (3rd floor). Their “Deep fried Seabass” is a MUST-TRY menu😊

[@ChovyTravel]

Ooohhh deep fried sea bass sounds good 👍 Thanks for the recommendation!

[@Linda-ui1mh]

I always eat at MK restaurant for their green egg noodle with roasted duck and sauce...so good. This chain can be found in all major malls and is a hot pot restaurant. Pop mart is a new viral trend mostly known for their Labubu characters that Blackpink’s Lisa posted on her IG.

[@ChovyTravel]

Ahhhh that makes sense! Lisa is definitely an worldwide ICON 💖👍 MK was nice. 😊

You can find 8 Ramen in almost every mall in Bkk. It is a ramen fast food franshise from Japan and the prices are affordable. S&P originally started its business from making bakery. You can find that butter pound cake (similar to Sara Lee) in almost every supermarket’s frozen food section. And it is often buy 1 get 1 free. 😁

[@ChovyTravel]

Oohhh yes! To come to think of it, I do remember seeing them at the markets. I thought they were Sara Lee… 😅

Mall looks great for shopping 😊 can enjoy your trip there

[@ChovyTravel]

Yes 🙌 there are many malls here and they’re all different and fun to visit! 😄🩵👍

[@teresap1172]

Have you been to Terminal 21 Rama 3. Perfect for sunset by the river. Better food too. The reason t21 can have such inexpensive food is because the mall subsidizes the food vendors to get more customers to the mall.

[@ChovyTravel]

Yes, we have. Just once! 😅 We didn’t really tour the whole mall. Might have to make another visit 🥰. Totally makes sense.

[@tg916.th.21]

11:41 Most vendors are from India, South Asia, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Myanmar (through experience shopping there). You can tell that they don't think like Thais and are less likely to give you discounts. Amazing video! Very fun to watch

[@raksaKhan1337]

Try sea food sauce with fresh home made spring roll, little bit heather and fresh and refresh

[@ChovyTravel]

Yes, that’s how we’ve been eating spring rolls 😋 any recommendation on good seafood sauce??

[@jamemax]

I visit Central World to eat every week. For a go-to place for Thais, visit Momo Paradise, the shabu-shabu place. It's the most popular buffet and has ranked number one in many polls for years. Personally, I think Tajimaya, also located in Central World, offers better value, but you can judge for yourself :) And there's my favorite place: Nuatair เนื้อแท้ plus, which you stood in front of in the video. It's a trendy meat restaurant where their specialty is beef, and they incorporate it into almost every dish. Their Beef Pad Kaprao is one of the best I've ever had, and their original steak is surprisingly excellent for its price. The menu has a vast array of options.

[@jamemax]

For G-ysorn, there's a new branch of the best buffet in town: Copper Buffet. You should try it-it's a premium buffet with lots of international and Thai food. Everything is heavenly good (the boat noodles and truffle soup are a must-try). I haven't tried the new branch yet, but I think it should be just as good. And you won't be regret.

[@ChovyTravel]

Oh really!!?? Thank you for the recommendations! 🥰🫰❤️🙏 We really appreciate you sharing the info! Now we really have to try them! 😁

[@ChovyTravel]

We definitely heard about the copper buffet! We have been meaning to try it! We’re going to have to try it for sure someday 😅

[@jamemax]

@@ChovyTravel I don't know why KZbin were keep deleting my reply. 😅 However, if you're interested in Copper, you need to book it early through the Hungry Hub since it's always fully booked for a week. The tip is you can also book through their official Line account, where they have a kinda secret discounted option that you won’t find on the HH page, so be sure to check that out! Additionally, I highly recommend trying the HH. It’s great for couples, you can not only book buffet or fine dining places but also staycation experiences, which give you a stay in a luxurious hotel for a night with a full-course meal at a mind-boggling price. It's a must try! I think it could be interesting for the content 😁. And they have saved my Valentine’s dates and anniversaries a couple of times 555.

[@ChovyTravel]

Really!!?? 🤔 It’s definitely weird because sometimes we don’t even get messages in our studio acct but we see it on the video… 🤷 I don’t get it. Thank you for the heads up and tip! 🥰🫰❤️🙏 Appreciate it! 😂😂😂 Sounds good! Tyty! 🙏

[@SuranchanaSrithong]

Go Ang Chicken Rice (Pink Kaomangai) is alright. It's so popular that they opened a branch in Tokyo recently, but personally I think it's kinda overhyped and too touristy. There are many other good Kaomangai places out there where locals frequent. I heard Montien Hotel's "Ruenton" Kaomangai is pricey, but worth every penny spent❤

My favorite restaurant at Central World is Chuan Kitchen (Singaporean / Malaysian food in Chinese style). Their Bak Kut Teh is very tasty❤Recommend menu : Bak Kut Teh, Hokkien Mee, Nasi Lemak, Xiao Long Bao (the Truffle is nice!), Location : 6 Fl, Atrium Zone. BTW, Currently, Thai people are obsessed with the art toy called Labubu. That’s why you saw a ton of people queuing at the Pop Mart to get it. Enjoy your stay in Thailand 🎉😊

You must try going to "Talad Thai" and "Si Mum Mueang Market". These 2 markets are in Rangsit, Bangkok. It is the largest wholesale fruit market in the country. It is a center for fruits and vegetables from farms all over the country to be sold and shipped to small fruit shops across the country. You will find warehouses separated by types of fruits and vegetables. Such as banana warehouse, durian warehouse, you can buy retail at a cheap price. It's even cheaper if you go at night or in the morning. Because you can buy it directly from the truck brought from the farm.😁😁🙏🙏

[@ChovyTravel]

Woah really? Never even heard of them. Thanks so much for the tip too! If we visit Rangsit area, we’ll try to check them out!! 😊🫶🏻💛😋

[@nuttsrisukplung1318]

@@ChovyTravel You will probably need a whole day or a car to carry all those fruits home for sure And I want to recommend a cool Pad Thai restaurant to you. The first shop is "Pad thai narok tak" which means hell explodes. The meaning is that the flavor is very strong. Located near Khlong San And another shop is "Pad Thai Ban Yai" is in the Inthamara area. Thai people call this restaurant Silent Pad Thai because the owner and the pad thai maker are hearing impaired. It is a restaurant that has received the Michelin award for 9 years. You'll get to taste Pad Thai made over a charcoal grill and already seasoned for you. It's not expensive, in case you're interested.🤣🤣🙏🙏

27:28 Yes, Hachiban Ramen (Ramen No.8) it’s like a fast food ramen for me too. Funniest thing for this place is that their best menu for me isn’t ramen (which is not bad) but their fried rice (Cha Han) I order this menu every time there. 🤣

[@ChovyTravel]

Really!!?? How funny! I was literally debating when we had it if I should get the Ramen or Fried Rice! 😂 Ended up getting the Ramen only because of the name. Thinking that is their specialty 😅. Thank you for letting us know! Next time I will have to check out the fried rice! 🥰❤️🫰🙏

[@ChovyTravel]

Yes, very similar! 😂 You did because most of the quality we seen were not.

[@manolexing68]

In terms of stall venders on the ground floor or basement level of most malls, they are usually regularly there. This means that it is business as usual. It's a way for the mall to efficiently use up space, although it takes up too much pedestrian real estate in my opinion. I don't mind them, but in lesser quantities.

[@ChovyTravel]

Terminal 21’s owner is very smart. He uses a food court strategy to draw traffic to the mall. The food shops in the food court pay no rent just keep food quality and price low. All services expenses in the food court are taken care by the mall. All T21 use this strategy. I spoke to a food truck owner in front of CTW once. The rent is so expensive. It costs like 3-5,000 baht/shop/day 😅.

100% Agree! Very Smart and Generous! Wow! That’s a lot! Totally makes sense why they have to upcharge

[@yinganan]

@@ChovyTravelYes, very smart. He said in the interview about his zero rent food court scheme as his generosity to give back to society, but he didn’t mention it as the way to draw traffic to the mall. But no worry all food court expenses will be covered by a high rent, especially the restaurants around the food court. They are paying more than 2,000 baht/sq.m/mth and they have to compete with food in the food court😢.

[@munarashid3601]

[@ChovyTravel]

They’re everywhere in Thailand. Not just in that area 😃

[@munarashid3601]

[@ChovyTravel]

Something doesn't add up. 14,000 views and 15,000 subscribers BUT ONLY 689 likes. (?????)

I know, right!? 🤷😅

I found that there are too many Middle East or South Asian sellers in Pratunam area and also MBK. I don't enjoy the vibes there. The way most of the seller deals with customers is not like the local Thai. They are fluent in English but they are not friendly, some are rude. I thought I wasn't in Thailand. There's a local who told me that everything has changed since COVID. Many Thai workers from other provinces were back hometown and decided not to come back to Bangkok. That's why there are more and more workers from Myanmar, Nepal, India and other neighbouring countries to fill the vacancies.

[@shannonisntavailable]

I found that too. They grab you and pull you into the stores or yell at you. I found it’s not as cheap as it used to be and there aren’t as many options. A lot of vendors sell the same stuff.

[@ChovyTravel]

Wow! Really!? That’s crazy! MBK and Platinum definitely had very similar vibes. We could tell a lot of the sellers weren’t Thai. Interesting! Thank you for sharing! 🥰🫰❤️🙏

[@ChovyTravel]

@shannonisntavailable Wow! That’s crazy! We did see a lot of rather similar items for sale but from different vendors

[@nestorgrey]

​@@ChovyTravelYes.. More than 60% of the staff in the department stores and even the shops in the famous night markets are foreigners from neighboring countries. The same goes for general stores. You yourself have encountered when you went to buy Khanom Krok where you found cockroaches in the box. Those were foreign staff. Even I myself could not tell if they were Thai or not. Unless they said it. More than 30 years ago, most of them were Burmese. Lao and Cambodian people often came to beg on the streets or joined criminal gangs. In the past, there was often news about gangs picking pockets of Cambodians. In the past 10-20 years, more Lao and Cambodian people have come to work. But there are also many who come in illegally.

[@nestorgrey]

Under Thai law, foreign workers are not allowed to work in occupations reserved for Thais only. This includes opening their own shops. Except as a partner with a Thai. Therefore, there are Thais who secretly work in a process of collaborating with foreigners as nominees to open shops for them. These problems will soon cause trouble for Thailand.

[@วสันต์ทองอ่ํา]

Nowadays most foreign employees in thailand are from myanmar lao cambodia bangladesh

[@ChovyTravel]

Icic! That’s very interesting!

Yes, right? Expensive. They probably have really high rent for the space they’re renting. 🤷🏻‍♂️

If you see tourists packing their products at Big C, Vietnamese people often buy things to bring back home, such as Cha Tra Mue. Vietnam has a trend of Thai products and entertainment, making it one of the top 5 tourists visiting the country Personally, I think Thai people don't like to order Thai food in franchise restaurants, such as rice menus in KFC or McDonald's, because if they want to eat Thai food instead, there are options ranging from street vendors, food courts, to Thai restaurants that specialize in and are famous for Thai food But it's not always the case, such as the mango sticky rice ice cream menu at Swensen's that is available seasonally The advantage of a franchise restaurant that has a Thai menu is that it offers something new and different from the original, suitable for tourists who are not yet familiar with traditional Thai food. For the seafood dipping sauce, you can add additional ingredients as you like, such as finely chopped garlic, green chili, and lime juice or fish sauce.

[@ChovyTravel]

Really!? I thought there was a Cha Tra Mue in Vietnam already? 🤔 That definitely makes sense! We have yet to try their Mango Sticky Rice Ice Cream. Sounds really good 😅. Thank you so much for the tip! 🥰🫰❤️🙏
