Eating STRANGE Delicacies In Bangkok's Chinatown! Thailand Food. 🇹🇭

[@AngelFarah7896_USA]

One condition about eating durian ***don’t drink alcohol when you’re eating durian, it can cause your life because Durian can stops an enzyme that helps detoxify alcohol called Aldehyde. Normally, this enzyme helps the body detoxify alcohol well. Durian will interfere with this work and can cause lead to severe dehydration and loss of oxygen levels in blood if you’re not in hand of doctors in time then can lead to death.

[@TheDufresnes]

Good to know, thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!

[@ooojackooo]

That is thw great advice for everybody. Thank you.

[@AnnaPaploen]

​@@ooojackooo❤❤Thanks ❤❤

[@mrshess443]

I am pleasantly surprised that the market area is not overly crowded the way I had imagined. Maybe I will convince the hubs to visit Thailand some time in the off season. I can't get over how affordable the food is!

[@TheDufresnes]

Ya low season is a good time to come! Food is so inexpensive here. Durian was the most expensive, but in the south where its abundant right now, they pretty much give it away! We can order a meal on grab for less than a slice of pizza in the USA or Canada and it's healthy food!

[@shaynadufresne]

Yes you guys should definitely visit Thailand sometime! 😊

[@user-rd3qh1jg3n]

ฉันเป็นคนไทย ทุเรียนเป็นผลไม้ที่แปลก บางคนก็ชอบ บางคนก็ไม่ชอบ ตอนเด็กฉันก็ไม่ชอบเลยทุเรียน ได้กลิ่นมันก็ทำให้ไม่สบายไปหลายวัน แต่ตอนอายุ ๓๕ มาลองมันอีกครั้ง อ่าวทำไมมันอร่อย แถมกลิ่นก็หอมสำหรับฉันเสียอีก ยินดีต้อนรับสู่เมืองไทย ครอบครัวคุณน่ารัก

[@TheDufresnes]

Thank you! 🙏Yes Durian is a very strange fruit! That's good you were able to try it again when you were older. Thanks for watching and we look forward to filming more videos here in Thailand! 😊

[@lifewith9cats153]

You have such a nice family! You're doing right by your boys by showing them other cultures and experiences.

[@TheDufresnes]

Thanks! Yes travel is a great teacher!

[@vitzveer]

Some durians can have really strong smell. You might find the ones on the milder side. Also, durian's smell gets stronger in the air- con places and the smell will stick in the air-con system too, that's why Durian is not allowed in the places with air-conditioning.

Wow!! I am visiting friends this weekend in New York and clicked on this video as soon as I woke up! Everything looks good, EXCEPT for the bugs! 😂😂😂 I have a serious phobia of bugs and my anxiety kicks in whenever i see one! I would start crying 😢😢😢 Thank you Chris&Shayna for this beautiful, informative and comical and entertaining video!! ❤❤❤ You guys are so brave trying bugs though!! 😂😂😂

[@TheDufresnes]

Thanks as always for watching and yes the bugs seem weird but they are honestly not that bad. Would I eat them every day? No, but it's fun to try! More weird food in videos are coming! Stay tuned 😉😋

Very crystal clear video. THANK YOU. Durian has a lot of sulfur mixed in that kind of fruit, so you should avoid eating it in the hot temperature area.

[@70261]

Thai people eat Durian not ripe one we eat half ripe so it's difficult to find it but this shop gave you the best one i can see it❤

I've eaten more than my share of bugs unexpectedly while ATV'ing. I'm pretty sure they taste better roasted and seasoned like yours were. I'll take your word on that, though Chris!

[@TheDufresnes]

Haha ya us too, these are much better tasting. You'll have to come here and try for yourself!

There are several kinds of durian, what you got is the very good one to eat - type, ripeness, quality.

[@TheDufresnes]

Yes, it all depends on the ripeness, this guy had perfect Durian

[@user-sr3dr7bi2g]

It's a great video. I watched it until the end, it was well edited and enjoyable to watch.

[@TheDufresnes]

Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed it and you will find most of our videos are filmed and edited in this style. Thanks for watching!

[@ปรีชาพรมเลิศ-ถ6ช]

รสชาดทุเรียนจะต่างกันเพราะบางทีเขาซื้อลูกที่สุกมากแล้วทุเรียนเนื้อมันจะเละครับส่วนที่พวกคุณกำลังกินคงเป็นลูกที่สุกพอดีเนื้อทุเรียนเลยออกกรอบนอกนุ่มในกลิ่นเลยไม่ค่อยแรงคนที่ไม่ชอบทุเรียนที่กินครั้งแรกคงเป็นเพราะไปเจอลูกที่สุกมากจนเละกลิ่นเลยแรงมากและเนื้อก็ไม่ค่อยหน้ากิน😅😅😅😅😊😊😊

[@TheDufresnes]

Ya we could see how it wouldn't be as good when it's over ripe, much like most fruit. The mushy texture when over ripe wouldn't be very good. Thanks for watching 😊

[@donmorrow1923]

I’m glad you’re well enough to get out and eat street food. Not all the choices of say some Mexican street food. 🌮 It’s an adventure, but not an everyday thing to do and get fulfilment of grubs for your dinner by eating other bugs. My reaction would probably be the same as your assistant food taster Laki. 🤮🐛 Good to hear Scott & Kathy are joking in the adventure, that should be fun, Scott loves his food, so eating a scorpion might not be filling enough for him, he may have to go for a bag of fried grasshoppers and crickets. Can’t wait until you go to a Thai restaurant for some more upscale food. Looks like you’re starting to love the new world you’re in. Enjoy!

[@TheDufresnes]

China town doesn't have much choice until night, the markets here have waay more options than mexico, you'll see soon. Ya at least Lakai gave it a try tho haha. Scott doesn't know what he is in for when he get's here. He is a trooper tho and tries stuff with me, like in Panama! We have plenty of restaurants and food stalls to film at, it's never ending in this city. Hope all is well in Uvita!

[@donmorrow1923]

@@TheDufresnes Yes, Scott loves to critique food and Kathy has said to me when he does his little “Food Dance” with his hands she gets a kick out of it. Yes, I’m sure they have some really delicious food in China Town there. I wonder if they serve chicken chow mein and garlic black bean dishes like N. America..😂…probably not. Sorry for the misspelling of Lakai’s name. Things are good here as always, compared to anywhere outside of the Western Media World. Tourist visits are up 14.5% according to the recent Tico Times article. Good for the businesses, but not so much for knuckleheads like me. 😄

[@TheDufresnes]

@donmorrow1923 haha don't believe Tico Times, Samara is empty and so are our rentals along with many of our friends rentals in Samara and even Nosara. Tourism is very low this year compared to the past. Let's hope it picks up for 2025!

[@donmorrow1923]

@@TheDufresnes That’s interesting. The people I know who have been here in Uvita for 10+ years, they close there little AirBnb’s or B&B’s for a couple of months, but they’ve had to open it last week for the weekly reservation requests they were getting from Europe. My friend Alex works for the Private Chef company here in Uvita, and they usually slow down in the off season, but they’ve had 3 teams out these past 3 months doing breakfasts, lunches and dinners at nice rental houses from Ojachal to Dominical for large groups of U.S. visitors. Eds a little busy with his day excursions but not to much. Also the big 5 bdr rental above me has been occupied by different groups, Ticos and Gringos this past month or so.

📌For tourist, if a first time trying durian, tell a vender. He will advise a fresh one for you because a fresh durian has a low smell. 👍😆🇹🇭

[@TheDufresnes]

Yes this vender made sure to give us some sweet Durian. Even the Durian we walk past in the Big C Supermarket, it smells good and sweet!

[@bioninaviva]

fyi, most of Thai people do not eat scorpion, that's only tourist thing.

[@TheDufresnes]

Ya we are aware, but there are people in northern Thailand that still eat them

[@runnnrunnn]

Durian if it is too ripe, they would be smelly like you afraid, but Thais are not fond of eating it too ripe like that, they tend to eat it quite fresh so it has less smelly.

[@TheDufresnes]

Ya that's like any fruit. I still don't think it would be as bad as people make it out to be.
