TRADITIONAL THAI RICE FEAST in Chiang Mai Thailand!

[@moniquelow2307]

Since childhood, my parents taught us this: Treasure the rice in your bowl, every grain is the result of hard work. Not only rice, I treasure every piece of food. Every minute, there still are starving people in the world.

[@onitbrkn]

I love brown rice 😌

[@onitbrkn]

That dang outfit from northern thailand was so dang bomb. It was like south america refined 😁😳

[@babybookworm003]

I treasure my parents if it weren’t for them I’d be homeless and hungry and naked

[@onitbrkn]

@@babybookworm003 i commend you sir 😔👊

[@user-uy3eq5hg1s]

Well put. I always remind myself that if you have your health, shelter, a bed, water and food you're doing very well in terms of human history.

[@siuzogo8981]

Honestly one of the most wholesome channels out there

[@msooza999]

i m 100th! i should have a prize rice!

[@Elijahs_Mama1104]

100% agree!! 💯💯💯

[@user-x57620fzmt]

Love Thailand, love Thai food. I lived in Thailand for a little over half a year and never had a single food item I didn't like.

[@32cricker]

You sir are a true food ambassador. I feel like I'm there with you, great content!

[@loveyourneighbor9354]

Thai Rice Festival was awesome day with tradition and hospitality. Mike, you looked like you were having a wonderful time and this was one of your best videos. Thank you. ❤

[@ALing-ff2qf]

And here in the states they throw rice at weddings! My parents went nuts when they attended a interracial wedding and they threw rice. They literally started picking them up. 😂 My Dad was like why would they waste food. 😂😂 He came from a very poor family in Vietnam and my mother is from Laos with ancestors. So coming to America was quite a culture shock. 😂😂 Pair papaya salad with pad Thai. It goes well together.

[@honeymoon4130]

Oh my goodness lol bless your parents 💖

[@omgfa_]

Every time I watch your videos I get happy and I don’t know why, but seeing how respectful you are of other cultures and how much you love food, that’s the content I’m here for.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

3 am for breakfast...meanwhile at a Hampton Inn in the US, breakfast starts at six. Cool to learn the traditional process of rice

[@buffya8012]

Avery the Cuban-American The other day I was travelling and left at like 4am and had to wait until 6 for MCDONALDS breakfast...so full breakfast at 3am is awesome lol

[@feedmeimei]

"Eat whenever you want, whatever you want" 😂 That's a motto to live by

[@pilipina75]

I love Thai culture and their food are amazing. They use less or no greasy on their dishes...which I appreciate! 😎🤗😘😍

[@astridsantos5093]

One of your best vids Mr Chen thank you so much.for the experience its was like i was there 🌹🤗😍

[@BlongTreyLo]

The one video where you actually immerse yourself deeply into a culture, please make more videos editted like this

[@pondypoo]

You're radiating such a wholesome aura, especially in this video. Can't help but feel relaxed and happy along with you. BTW, Chiang Mai represent!

[@meganglaser7671]

This is easily my favorite video on this channel (I'm more of a Strictly Dumpling fan) Experiencing the culture like that is just amazing

[@SetarehSilver]

I had never considered Thailand as a destination before but your video won me over big-time. I have to visit this country!

[@ziabk4306]

It's gorgeous when it's not raining season!🙌

[@ahmedmahfouz512]

Honestly you are the best KZbinr keep up the good work you deserve over 10 million subscribers

[@feedmeimei]

Omg I love how you're showing us about the culture too. This made me so happy ❤️

I threw my cat out the window...actually happened

[@stevenk5825]

Maria ,Maria! You remind me of a Westside story.

[@cathyanaadventures7294]

Hahahaha 😂

[@gladfan1989]

R.I.P. Mikey's rice.

[@solley11]

Well done video..FYI, the fruit you were referring to as "Logan" is called "Longan" pronounced long gan. The soup with the chicken drumsticks and crispy noodles is a Chiang Mai specialty.."Khao Soi"

[@oakenshadow6763]

Wow! How do you know so much about that? And what is the fruit like? Micky didn't describe it like he did everything else.

[@samuellee1148]

Yeah, I also cringed a bit when he said "Logan". btw, the taste of longan always reminds me of lychees.

[@loveislove2359]

@@oakenshadow6763 it's like a lighter, less sweet lychee. Very delicious.

[@loveislove2359]

The way he pronounced chiang mai made me cringe

[@rockie8254]

Long Gan is just Cantonese for 龙眼。 Mike grew up in USA so his Chinese skill is a bit lacking. ;p

[@stevemagana7701]

Mike! Your an inspiration. I’m striving to do exactly what you do. Traveling and eating? Yes please! My first stop, Japan! starting July. Anyways thank you for all the entertainment! Keep at it :)

[@Elle-po4iq]

omg yes! have fun in Japan! ヽ(‘ ∇‘ )ノ

[@stevemagana7701]

Alexis Meade Thank you! I’ll be sure to make the most out of it!

[@mrlight4323]

Love from Germany at 3 a clock in the morning ❤ Nothing is better than opening KZbin and seeing a video from you !

[@audreyt497]

Mike your dancing was my favorite part. Hi from Costa Rica

[@oakenshadow6763]

I was at work when you uploaded. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself so much. Please don't forget to say thank you. These people look so kind, I wish I was there.

[@unravellingghoul2950]

Here's the Thai rice video I've been waiting for! Thanks for another awesome video!

[@Eludia]

I know what you mean about massages, I once had an Indian head massage, & the lady was really rough & it hurt so much, I ended up more tense afterwards than I was before! I love pork blood, we call it black pudding in the UK & it's delicious!

[@nidhi_meyo28]

One of the best videos. We also have a rice festival called nobanno in here Bangladesh. Whenever I go to Thailand I buy jasmine flowers first. Love your vids Mike.

[@dominiqueleblanc2193]

I think this is my favorite vidéo, from all of the ones you made. Great content! Thanks for sharing.

[@chariso.4988]

This episode made my soul smile. I love to be able to see people experience other cultures, because I will likely never get to myself, though I would love to so much. I've always had a deep seated desire to travel, but never had the opportunity to, even where I live. The furthest I've ever traveled is Florida (from Texas). Thank you to Mikey Chen, and the other KZbinrs I watch who travel - your documentation of your trips allows me to experience travel vicariously.

[@brilliantbutblue]

That was an awesome video. Loved that you immersed yourself in the experience and not just filmed it.

[@texasburbs4380]

Wow, this is one of the best videos you have put out. Really shows what goes into something we consider so simple.....thank you for this!

[@naitasaechao8815]

I am so glad that you did this. Love see Thailand. I was born there but moved to America. When got to America I was 2 years ago.

[@halimasultan03]

This was an extremely beautiful episode on mikey Chen. I mean beyond even all the delicious food, to see the rice making and culture... just beautiful.

[@madcapcoll]

very impressed the way you described everything. You are great ambassador for food and did wonderful job for this convention. Thank you.

[@labhrais6957]

Thankyou for this! I think this is my favorite video you've done yet.

[@jessicaanderson3118]

The food looks amazing. Love your outfit. I definitely think you should get one and wear it more often

[@leonaevan6416]

You did a live!!!!! Ugh!!!

[@vanessamv8]

Definitely one of your best videos. I loved watching you be interactive within their culture

[@rainbowl4745]

Love the music! Goes along with the event so well, light hearted yet full of respect for the rice we get everyday🌹

[@tjmctube]

That planting must be back-breaking work.

[@hbcat13]

Mike : im gonna come back on harvest season :) Watches his hopes dreams and rice stepped on Mike : dId yOu JuSt StEp On My rICE?!!?!?!YOU JUS STEPPED ON MY R

[@gordonhum7982]

The dish with that you are having at 15:30 is called Khao Soi, normally it is also served with a small side of pickled veggies, red onion and a wedge of lime to cut down on the richness and the sweetness of the curry.

[@danielkim7777]

Hi mike hope you seen my comment. I’ve been subscribed to you for about two years and I really love your food videos! Keep it up! I hope you could go back to korea soon and LA since I live in Los Angeles. Maybe could tour you around 😂😂. Can’t wait to see your video, and Have a nice day!

[@DocFear]

That's amazing, I love it! Congratulations on getting to have this special experience! I bet you'll always treasure this visit.

[@RituMakhijaritumak]

Absolutely wonderful video! Mesmerising food and culture. I miss Thailand so much after seeing this...I really need to go back there.

[@ploytatchi]

The inside of that sweet sticky rice wrap is not jujube but banana. It is a smaller-shorter type called 'Nam-Wha' banana, when cooked it turned pinkish like you see in the video :)

[@MindandQiR1]

love all your videos but this is one of your very best ones maybe it's the place - beautiful thailand

[@phuoitrinh1]

I love this video. It shows us that rice is not just a grain but it's a whole process. Thank you!

[@rohanm2394]

Man this was a superb video. I am really happy to see the Traditional Thai Rice Feast. Loved this mikey. Loved the Thai Tradition & the way how rice is grown. Thanks for this video. And one thing i forgot to mention while u were dancing in the feast looking u made me to remember of Jackie Chan.

[@grinningsage7492]

My perspective and love for food has changed ever since I watched your videos. Much love and thanks for the great content.

[@GoodGollyMissMolly763]

Thanks for another awesome video showcasing how beautiful and richly cultured Chiangmai is Mikey. You looked awesome in the traditional outfit as well. Much love from Minnesota. #teamsoutheastasian

[@bettygitzke4131]

I Love seeing the different cultures in food, dance and the clothes......

[@Shantel.Luvmetru629]

I absolutely love this video. I started crying when I seen the women dancing n enjoying their culture n life(I kno I'm a cryer)❤️❤️

[@beverlyrow9]

This has to be 1 of The Best videos. Every second of the video was Awesome. Thailand is Amazing. Thanks for showing us how amazing it is. Need to plan my trip there now😉. Thanks to Mike😊😊

[@MikeyChenX]

beverly row thanks for watching 😊😊

[@xMotionsHD]

I love every video you put out, but this one was my favourite in recent memory. Didn't stop smiling and also made me incredibly hungry. I know what cuisine I'm ordering tonight 😂

[@jinnattanin3993]

Wow .we Asian share similar things..we grow rice that I even planted rice when we have been for summer vacation in country of my country..this is really awesome..you don't need any gym .. natural work out will be done if you work in a rice field..love you mike

[@stellap683]

Such a great video! Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

[@Wytchlord]

This is something I can imagine doing as well someday. Thank you for showing it to us! ^^

[@SammyCee23]

Jasmine rice is the best, by far, and the only one I make at home :)

[@argonwheatbelly637]

It's nice to see the threshing and windowing process.

[@somerflowers]

Your faces when you’re dancing! 🤣🙌🏼 adorable Mikey! I remember catching a glimpse of you in one of Kevin’s posts on insta when you were there! I was like, I see Mikey Chen! 😍 such a cool experience! So awesome to finally get to see it all!

[@ijudia]

Rice is life! A traveler from the Philippines, watching all the way from Chiang Mai, Thailand!

[@wookie4798]

Mikey, your best video ever. Thank You for teaching us how the worlds most important food is made

[@Kimmie0323]

When I think of Thailand I think of Mark Weins, not to knock Marks channel at all because I love it, but Mike you are showing us a part of Thailand we have never seen before! So enjoyable!!!

[@pdgray668]

Really liked this video and learned something new. They grow and de-husk the rice exactly the same way as they do in Bangladesh! The equipment looks almost identical! Bangladeshi 'dheki' and 'kula' are the terms. I wish I knew what the Thai words were for those tools. Their rice cakes look different from our common rice cakes though.

[@paolabueso]

What a gorgeous place and culture! Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@jessicabanks1518]

I love traveling the world with you and your videos! The food and cultures you experience are amazing!

[@reneemouzon2093]

Love all your videos. Really liked this one because of the fact it was very informative. Loved the history of rice. Keep it up.

[@rockinbobokkin7831]

Oh yay! You made it to Thailand! My favorite places to eat in Thailand are Chiang Mai for tasty spices and stir fry, Phuket for so much southern sea food!!! I lived there for one year. I miss it all the time. Cold Chai!!!!

[@Birdbike719]

Have been waiting for this video. Very interesting and the food looked amazing. I found it amusing that they had you changing clothes for activities, but probably a good idea in the rice fields for sure!

[@feedmeimei]

This makes me wanna go to Thailand so bad 😭

[@carnation22]

it is great to see someone enjoying his food

[@Samikpop]

I’m glad you enjoy my country’s cuisine and enjoyed the experience

[@Shrew-22O1]

Mikey dancing is exactly how I look on the dance floor..confused but happy to do it..😂

[@gingerlee5992]

🤙🏻 Aloha Mike! Thank you for always posting about Thailand. I find it so resourceful. Just a Thai/Lao girl living in the states. Can’t wait to visit the motherland next year.

[@niazimmer4533]

Seeing all of the traditional culture and the country side was as enjoyable as all of the food.

[@boulisfamily3157]

What a beautiful country and what pride they take in there food.

[@daniellejordan4551]

[@noodleshead9596]

Hey Mike. Thai food from Thailand are must better than States. I am so glad you went there. I miss Thailand a lot. I left Thailand and moved to Hong Kong when I was 5. Hopefully I can go visit there someday.

[@huskyprince7240]

It is pronounced as Long Ngan 龙眼 (dragon's eye in Cantonese) not Logan

[@carmenz8955]

So happy to see another video

[@pajzibntabvwj6167]

All the food looks so good & everything looks so much fun!

[@fakruk]

Yes noodle with blood cubes. It’s call “ nom gen” in Thai. And in Laos it’s call “Khao poon”

[@solo0002]

I am really appreciating rice right now. Thank you Mike for the introduction to different foods and cultures. My Doctor says I have to eat healthier and you have contributed to the cause, well mostly , unless the word fatty is involved (LOL). Luving all you foodies out there !

[@mrsdomino4196]

[@intsccents]

Hi Mike you are in my home away from home... to me the best foods are on the streets and mostly safe and clean vendors...street Pad Thai and all the bbq chicken and even the fruits always call you back to Thailand ! food really is there calling card.. L.A Rob..

Love that you love Jasmine! Me too! You dancing was everything 😁🦋✨

[@ellyspins209]

That was so cool. It's really nice to see how rice is produced and how many dishes can be done with it :)))

[@hedvaplotkin5330]

This is such a cool video 😍😍😍❤ Thank you for sharing 🙂🤗

[@23valleyroad]

After seeing this video I am even more certain that every grain of rice is sacred and it breaks my heart to see rice wasted everyday by greedy people who have no idea the work that goes into producing it and just throw it away uneaten. Thanks Mike again for showing the world how food should be revered. x

[@akosim002080]

I love food in Thailand, i love the people. I just love everything in Thailand.
