Dr. Mark, the Thai cuisine looks fantastic. For the price and portions served, its a win win. It would be great if you could do a comprehensive video on the best budget Thai food establishments throughout Thailand. Cheers!

Great suggestion! I'll try to do that for you Cheers Mate 🥂

That is value added delicious meals in the heart of Touristy Patong... not to mention a variety to choose from. Appreciate the heads up Mark.

Thanks mate Sorry it's taking me a little bit to reply to your message I actually got food poisoning not from here it was from an Italian sit-down restaurant that was supposed to be one of the best on the entire Island

that chicken looks awsome!!

For some reason and I'm not sure why I love the fried egg noodles these yellow noodles I'm not a spaghetti guy I'm not a pasta guy but for some strange reason I love noodles.....

[@mattbryan8535]

Great find! I've eaten street food right next to it on 'Soi 200' several times and looked down that little Soi,next time I'll indulge! There's also a little hidden Soi in 'Bangla' that does similar stuff(plus marinated pork)which the bar girls flock to, it's a bit more expensive but has some great dishes - no doubt you've been there too?!?

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

Yes mad I've been there a bunch of different times love it fantastic spot and quite honestly the scenery is pretty good if you know what I'm saying

[@s96822]

refreshingly nice uplifting video as opposed to the usual broken heart sad love story.

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

You noticed!!!! Lol Yeah this was fun Keep watching cuz I have a few others coming up that I think you'll enjoy as... Cheers Mate 🥂

[@s96822]

recall a nice italian resto on soi nanai.

[@jackeisman8029]

I’ve been turned on to some fantastic little Asian food joints, hole in the wall places. And some I have yet to try. Most of these places have a good variety of dishes they offer, while others not so much. But it’s OK, they are all over the place. And for the most part they have been inexpensive, tasty, fresh and filling. When you’ve got all four components, you’ve found value for your money BIG TIME… Looking forward to more of your discoveries……. rock on….!!!

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

Hey Jack thank you for watching truly appreciate that brother hope you're having a fantastic day

[@pattaranansookplod4137]

That's my bestfriends dad restaurant. I love Ka Prao Moo Grob.

Really!!!! That's awesome I love this place Best food in Patong!!!

[@johnmckeown5685]

Hi Dr Mark do you tip when you have food . Or when you are in the bar. Great blog.

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

Hey John To be honest with you I don't usually tip if I'm at a bar I will give a little bit but at these restaurants I don't because they kind of get insulted if you do... What I have done and I mentioned this in my cost of living year review is I go around at the end of the year and I give people a certain amount of money that I go to the restaurants their bars their food stands stuff like this and I give them a nice bonus at the end of the year

[@jazlynsaykwa5485]

Hello Dr. Marc and greetings from the beautiful land of ice here in Minnesota - - The food looks especially copacetic, but did you notice somebody is following you?

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

They're always following me everywhere I go it's horrible... Lol . 🥂 Jaz

I walked past there staying at the Deck I'll be back in January 25 and I'm going there!

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

Honestly the best Kra Pow in all of Thailand.... Cheers mate Enjoy. I'm doing a few other Videos about places you need to see.... Cheers mate 🍻

[@joezip6389]

Just dropped back for a video I some how missed, that food was amazing. I did google street view to locate the place, I confirmed it by the green table cloth they have near the cooking area, good stuff

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

Hey Joe that's awesome mate... I need to incorporate that's into the videos.... Cheers mate 🍻

[@Wonderwall36]

Man, that yellow noodle looked fantastic! So they don't put sugar on everything like I thought.

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

No thankfully this one spot doesn't drowned it in a whole lot of sugar and a bunch of MSG and stuff I've had yellow noodle here and it was so bad I couldn't even swallow one bite this this is delicious....

[@ManOfAdventure2011]

In 2016 an American expat in Pattaya pointed me to one of these side soi restaurants. The food looks similar to what you're showing. It was amazing and family run. It cost $45 TB at the time. Fast forward 2019 and the prices hadn't changed. I bet now it's around what you're seeing since its a tourist area. Still excellent value!

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

Neil these tiny little restaurants on the side streets are just amazing Cheers Mate 🍺

[@thisweekbestvalueapartment]

Amazing Dishes with good value for money. Thailands food is amazing, its good in Thai restaurants world around, but not the same Amazing Quality as when you are in Thailand. Its just sooo delicious, maybe its the price that makes it even better in Thailand 👍👍👌👌😁😁

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

I will definitely admit that the price goes a long way because where I'm from in Canada one of those dishes that I just showed you would easily be 12 US dollars each.....

[@brettchun38]

have you been to number 6 restaurant opposite c&n hotel? best thai food and cheap too

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

Yes I have an oddly enough my favorite one along those lines of restaurants is what's called No1 59.... I honestly have no idea what the 59 is for couldn't tell you

[@jesperjensen293]

What a delicious meal and really cheap too. Thaifood is some of the best food in the world. You really found a pearl on the soi there for sure. I ran into bad luck myself staying in Phuket, I got food poisoning (not from Thai-food, but from a western resturant) I was timed out for 4 days and had the pleasure to go see a doctor as well... it was really really bad, to lose 4 days of a 2 weeks vacation is quite a lot. I should had stayed with Thai-food, I'm sure my trouble could have been avoided 🙂

[@Roof_Pizza]

I agree, 'nicer joints' are where I've gotten food poisoning from not the little Thai joints.

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

It's funny Jesper because I've had food poisoning twice here,,,, that is why I apologize took me a couple of days to reply to this message my friend and I got it from a sit-down Italian restaurant this time that was supposed to be one of the best restaurants in all of Phuket and I got so sick it's not funny

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

Yup

[@scottwalker7255]

What is ti's restaurant called pls

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

Hey Scott that's the trouble mate there's no name for it that's why I put the location in the description that's the only way I can tell you how to get there and what the restaurant is... There's a lot of places like this that just don't have a name... Cheers mate 🍻

[@italogiardina8183]

When travelling through Asia its a viable option to cook your own from vegetable and fish markets, and have fruitarian days like Durian in Thailand.

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

I myself personally will not cook anything here I'm going to probably next month because I'm doing a different experiment but for the most part I always eat out I don't enjoy cooking at home anymore I don't like the mess I don't like the inconvenience and I sure as heck I'm not going to be eating durian

[@italogiardina8183]

@@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean Fair enough, though there are a plethora of other fruits, and personally I began to hate the additives as it adversely impacted my physical and mental wellbeing. Thanks for the comparative analysis.

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

This place is an absolute gem and they cook my food exactly the way I like it every time and you only have to ask once that's what I really appreciate about it....

[@paulsargent2343]

Tasty looking food Doc . Not like that turd in a bun you munched into recently 😁

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

Oh Paul let me tell you something that chili cheeseburger was incredible

[@alexk9295]

Definitely good tasty food, but I rather pay slightly more (say 120-200 baht) and have more meat/shrimp. For 180 baht you can get an amazing plate full of stewed pork. Already looking forward to it when I come over in a couple weeks!

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

Well actually Alex if you want stewed pork the best place to go is No1 Restaurant Stewed pork is 60baht and I doubt you'll finish it And again as far as these not being big enough portions for people they're big enough for me and most of the time I can't finish them again I'm not eating like your typical North American I haven't ate like a typical North American in 35 years.....

[@alexk9295]

@@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean wow 60 baht for stwed porl leg? Had I known that I might have chosen Phuket instead of Pattaya ;) The dishes are big enough with the rice. I usually order without the rice though and order two meals instead. I tend to way overeat in Thailand. The food is just so delicious. If I had to choose between the food or the girls I'd probably pick the food. Probably...

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

@@alexk9295 make sure you check out the review I'm doing of that restaurant it's coming up probably next week it's called No1

[@KrayPurn]

I have eaten the most authentically delicious Thai food at local joints. My girlfriend at the time was a government nurse awaiting transfer opening to Khon Kaen. We would meet our Thai friends at various Restos on the outskirts and outside of Pattaya. The food never failed to knock my socks off. The prices were unbelievably cheap per dish. I would often hear when I inquired about the check, "No, No, Pay already." I avoid eating in tourist spots like the plaque.

[@sunareekaewnat8967]

Did she go to one of the free nursing colleges where you entered into a service agreement for the public hospitals? My first Thai girlfriend was in such a program, but ended up with a posting in a district of Nakhon Sawan where there are no foreigners as opposed to Muang Nakhon Sawan where there are only a handful of foreigners. I do not think I could ever live in Phuket or Pattaya because to me they are too dominated by tourist influence.

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

That's one of the best things about knowing local people is they can take you to the most incredible restaurants

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

I know someone too

[@KrayPurn]

@@sunareekaewnat8967 Don't remember which university she attended, but I believe she had to enlist for some type of government service commitment, and in return they paid for her school. I could be wrong about that, but she wore a government nursing uniform similar to the ones the lady nurses wear in the U.S. military. We were only together for roughly 3-4 months prior to her getting reassigned. Her assignment at that time was at a BOP.

[@sunareekaewnat8967]

@@KrayPurn Sounds like the same program. Honestly this is a fantastic program for poor rural Thais who otherwise could not afford a university education. Mark do you know where the Thai public hospital in Phuket staffs from? I would imagine it is hard to locate staff because of the high local cost of living.

[@sunareekaewnat8967]

I believe one of the key reasons Thailand has been able to remain so stable despite many undercurrents of political discontent is that there has been so little inflation in food prices. Since I first went to Thailand 8 years ago, prices at venues populated by locals have pretty much stayed below a 10% increase for the entire period. And yes, the ambiance of Thai restaurants has little to no correlation with the skill of those preparing the food.

Let me ask

[@Roof_Pizza]

The thing is those are dishes not meals, if that's all you have in one go you'll need 5 of those in a day, 3 of those if you're sharing one meal. Hell, 40 kilo Thai girls are grazing 24 hours a day, ever wonder why? My mate and I always have a western meal if going to the bars because those 'meals' don't cut it, either that or we start AND end up with a meal. And MSG is brilliant.

[@whyhellotherewithdrmarksabean]

See that's where I tend to disagree with you mate I'm sorry but I'm not eating crazy amounts I have one of these dishes and that's all I need to eat.... And I'm 80 kg.... I don't feel the need to plug and stuff myself with food all the time it makes me feel lethargic and I'm just not enjoying myself... We all have different ideas as to how much food is necessary just the same way I'm sure my booze intake is completely different than yours....

They used to be all skinny when I was there in mid 2000s, now they are grazing most of waking hours.
