STREET FOOD Heaven in THAILAND 🇹🇭 - How Much Thai Street Food Costs at Chiang Mai's Night Market!

[@GilbertoVelez]

I've been traveling to Europe for the past 30 years, never even considered Thailand or that part of the world until I saw your video. Thank you so much taking us on your journey through life and for letting us travel and explore and live vicariously through your camera lens. Love the content, love the vibe...I'm a fan.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you so much for the kind comments!! We very much appreciate the support, Gilbert! Cheers!!🍻

[@DT-gs3wi]

Chiang Mai are classic city and tourists are more respectful then southern Thailand. Every evening we play Thai national music for the respectful of the country 😊

[@TheDogWalkerMN]

I look forward to your videos every week. I really appreciate that you include the prices in them. It helps with planning budgets to these places. Can't wait to see more of your adventures!

The Sunday Night Market was our favorite market in Chiang Mai! If you liked Khao Soi Nimman, definitely check out Nun's Restaurant. It's more of a hole-in-the-wall type of place, but it is so good! 😍

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you for the restaurant recommendation, we will be sure to check it out!! Cheers!!🍻

[@norrisbethke7770]

So many markets all around CM and the infinite variety of foods..and..after eating if you need to do Christmas shopping, maybe half an hour and done..just soooo good…when the plane is descending into CM you can feel the happiness rising, it’s like coming home..thx for the vid 🙏🏻🕊🇹🇭

[@user-retsailor]

I was waiting for you to munch on some of those crickets ! I visiting Thailand back in 2007 and sat in a bar with a cold beer and a tray of spicy, crunchy crickets. I can't honestly say they were good or filling but, I guess they're kind of like a peanut snack food to go with beer ! Cheers !

[@Video-tu4vn]

We came across your channel when looking at various Thai destinations. Just wanted to say thank you for producing the videos which are informative and entertaining. What we particularly like is that you are modest and respectful unlike some other channels, one in particular I saw the other day actually made me embarrassed to be from the same nation as the person presenting it, and I use that term loosely. Anyhow, I look forward to continuing following your journeys. Have fun and stay safe.

Love your videos. Was wondering if you would do a video on how you remain health while traveling. Specifically what is your exercise routine and eating habits. Any information would be helpful. Am planning a 2 year round the world trip in next year or so. Thanks again

[@BrianandCarrie]

Hi Jennifer! We've had quite a few questions on that one, especially being here where eating out is what you do for most meals. For exercise, we either do workout videos online, use a gym at our condo when available, or make use of what's around us (like 18 flights of stairs at our condo in Split, Croatia). We also walk almost everywhere we go averaging 5 miles a day. For us eating out hasn't been bad since there are also so many healthy food options. Plus, we eat a ton of fruit! Staying healthy while traveling full-time (but still enjoying the wonderful foods around you) takes a bit more focus, but it's totally doable. Thanks so much for watching!

[@davidpattison5860]

Hi guys Glad you found kao soy , it is one of the best Thai food you’ll ever eat and not many Thais have tried it as it’s mostly in the north , try the Sai krok sausage also I saw it on the grill in your video, there are lots of different types and it usually comes with some raw Chinese cabbage some pickled ginger and some chillies , I love isaan food , enjoy your videos and have a good time Regards Davy 🇹🇭

The prices are fantastic which makes it so fun to be able to try so many different foods. The fruit here, oh my goodness, it's the best I've ever had! We buy cut-up fruit every day from a lady right down the street from our Airbnb. Great idea for Brian to eat the grasshopper....I'll be sure to film that!! Love you guys 😍

[@wherearewe-yt]

Thai markets are the best! Super cheap, and usually quite a few options. The food can be hit and miss, but I don't think we've ever had anything "bad" at a Thai market. We remember having the best coconut ice cream and mango sticky rice of our lives at a random market in Bangkok though. 🤤🥭

In Chiang Mai they add sugar to dishes that in Bangkok are not sweet at all. They even put sugar in Lard Na noodles! I went to the Traditional Thai Massage School at Old Medicine Hospital on Wau Lai Road across from the Thai Cultural Center in Chiang Mai. That was in 1999 and I did Traditional Thai Massage in Dallas for twenty years before retiring to Bangkok. I live far from tourist areas and get treated very well. Thailand is known as, "The Food Basket to the World" so there is huge selection of all kinds of food to choose from. Careful, the Thais will steal your heart.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Chiang Mai was such a wonderful experience and we are so incredibly happy we had as much time as we did there. We can totally see why so many come there to make Chiang Mai home. The food was incredible, but we will see our final top pick when we finish our Thailand adventures 😊. I imagine Chiang Mai will come in high on the list.

Great. Jeanette and I are in Mexico now but are planning a trip to Thailand late this year, God willing. We love street food too, but because she is seriously allergic to shellfish it would be a major concern as I suspect that they use the same pool of oil to fry everything, unless you have seen otherwise. Roger, Canada.

[@BrianandCarrie]

That's a tough one. There are plenty of food carts and restaurants we've been that fish isn't on the menu soo that would possibly eliminate the crossover. But fish sauce is a very common ingredient so that may be a tough one as well. Thanks so much for watching!!

Glad you are eating the local food as it is the best! When you travelled in other countries you spoke very little of their foods which is a shame. Food is part of every countries culture and should always be experienced. Can I suggest that when you film try to not to rush past things because as the viewer you don't get much out of it.. example... the street food stroll was rushed until you focused in on the food you were buying.

Most of Thai soups or curries must have with rice because they cook very strong spices. Don’t try it alone, try eat with rice for good combination

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thanks for the suggestion😊. We haven't seen anyone else eating with rice but that is sure worth a try. Thanks for watching. Cheers 🍻

[@amornjiralucksanawong3002]

In generally, Thai dishes have two types : First, Single plate just like Pad Thai, Khao Soi ( Noodle & Curry Paste with Coconut milk), most of fire rice and any stuff of Noodle with or without Soups. Second, Shared plate is all about dishes having with family or friends (Most of Asian Culture that differ from western). Curries, thick soups, clear soups or fired meat, Stirred fired veggies are often ordered for having with rice. Because taste is too strong, too spicy for eat without rice. Just like we eat hamburger with no bread.

Hi! So far we are finding everything we had heard about it being cheaper to eat out than cook to be absolutely true.

I am a diabetic as well. I lived in Chiang Mai for nearly a year (in 2019). No problems whatsoever. First off, learn the phrase Nit Noy (little bit) or Mai Pet (my pet) which means No Spice. As for diabetes, theres is a ton of fresh veggies, fresh soups without noodles, and meats freshly cooked. Go to Salad Concept in Nimman and order whatever salad you like. If you live for a long time in Chiang Mai, you can hire someone to prepare your food for you (believe it or not!) and clean your home. Super cheap!

Im 53 yrs young and have had metastatic breast cancer since 2010. 6 recurrances n im currently doing chemo i.v. every 3 weeks. Stage 4. This dream vacation is my friends gift to me so Im researching n watching videos all day.. Love ur videos so far. Im aware of the risks of traveling with health issues but after many months of proccessing pros n cons I decided to not live in fear. I will come prepared and educated n so excited. I live in Santa Cruz, Ca which is a gorgeous beach town, but looking forward to Thailand and Im overwhelmed at the many options. We have a decent budget to spoil ourselves but at the same time I love saving money as well Looking 4 recommendations, advise, n best places to go n do. At the moment I love the island hopping in the phuket area. I wanna do excursions esp. On the ocean. Also wondering best areas to spoil ourselves n a lil more luxery accommadations.

We have never had any foodborne illness issues (knock on wood!). We have a lot of videos on Thailand and links to Expedia that will assist you with any accommodations you may be looking for. We also have a video on Maya Bay, an excursion worth looking into. Thank you for watching our channel and safe travels. 😊

Most soups in Thailand are eaten with rice. The more the soup is sour and spicy, it is necessary that you have to eat it with rice. Otherwise you may get a stomach ache. Because Thai food is designed to be eaten with rice.

That makes a lot of sense! We only wish they had offered rice as a side!😂 It was very tasty just a little too spicy for me. Thank you for watching!! Cheers!🍻
