Sathorn Bangkok Vlog 1: Somerset Park Hotel Room Tour and Suan Phlu Vegetarian Food

[@SpoonForkHeart]

Nice video Dwight. I like that area of Bangkok, always seems cleaner than Silom. The food looked great in 4k video, Joe say's big thumbs up for that. Also, cool of you to get the owner in the video too. Nice work!

[@CourageousKitchen]

Thanks for the nice comment. I had so many issues with the video because of the old flourescent lights in the restaurant, but yes I like that place and the owner is really kind. His English isn't bad either, but he was to shy to talk about his food in English.

OMG ALL THIS FOOOOOOD

[@CourageousKitchen]

Hey, your Q&A I watched recently was hilarioussssssss! Keep up the great work. You liked the veg food? LOL. I need to get a chicken video up asap.

[@charlietu]

hey dwight! thanks for these videos about sathorn/suan plu, they're great and informative!!

[@CourageousKitchen]

You're welcome! Thank you for the feedback, I think it's a great area with so much to discover!

Ah. Somerset is like 3 steps from Smalls and 3.5 steps from Junker. Well done mate! Those veggie fritters look exactly like some delicious pakora(-da) I had last week. Excellent video DT.

[@CourageousKitchen]

Definitely a strategic location! Yes, they were exactly like pakoras, but healthier--- and sauce soaked by the time I got to them. The mushroom 'hoy tod' dish though is good, but was all out when I got there.

[@tosht2515]

+Bangkok Fatty I can definitely imagine mushroom hoi tod. I had crispy oyster hoi tod which was very tasty. 👍

Thanks for this series! This really debunks the myth of "you only need to spend 1 day in Bangkok" most travellers to the region share.

[@CourageousKitchen]

I'm working on 8+ years and still learning!

[@MsLansones]

Nicely done Dwight! Love vegetarian cuisine.

[@CourageousKitchen]

The owners are always kind to me here and the food is good. Very low key place. I just need to get there earlier somehow lol.

Great Vlog Dwight.. We always stay at the Somerset Park, a great family hotel... Next time you are in the area try out Uncle John's. It's a humble street restaurant, but the food is incredible...Last time we were there we saw Ken Lo enjoying a meal with some other famous chefs....

[@CourageousKitchen]

Yes, I know Uncle Johns. I went there the first night (before hitting Junker) and they had already packed things up to close. So he's not in the videos, but I did include him in the list of restaurants to try in the guide on the blog.

[@Anothertraveler]

Hey man! We still need to meet up in BKK and do a food tour! Great video.

[@CourageousKitchen]

When are you here next, I may be in Chiang Mai soon. Will drop you a message!

[@Anothertraveler]

Traveling a bit to Hong Kong and Bali for a few weeks. When will you be in CM?

[@CourageousKitchen]

hopefully next week, but still ironing out the details.

[@Anothertraveler]

Cool. Let me know when you plan it out.

[@Montreal288]

Nice Vegi food, thanks!

[@CourageousKitchen]

Yes, I have covered a few veg places in BKK. Lmk if you need suggestions.

[@samiulkarhson8041]

What's going on with the camera at 6:25?

[@CourageousKitchen]

looks like I'm about to experience dimensional travel, but it's really just the camera's frame rate collided with the flicker rate of the fluorescent lights.

[@LetsDiscoverON]

$2!!!! What? really?

[@CourageousKitchen]

Add a smoothie and it's still a deal at $3!

[@Teli_1]

wow so cheap, love vegetarian food.

[@CourageousKitchen]

+Telica Randall hey Telica don't forget to check the guide, there's two other veg/vegan restos listed too. Thanks for your comment!

[@Teli_1]
