Living in Bangkok: Morning Market, Delicious Feast

This is a Thailand vlog about living in Bangkok, and just a typical half of a day. In the morning my wife and I will often go to a local neighborhood market to shop for groceries. Even though on the day I made the vlog video my mother in-law and wife made food for some of our friends as well, this is not at all untypical of what my mother in-law cooks on a daily basis for us to eat at home.
So we first went to the market, bought some vegetables, some herbs, and plenty of chilies. Then we continued on to buy some fresh fish and then went to the indoor market area to buy curry paste and also to buy coconut milk. Curry paste is very convenient to buy in Bangkok, and there are stalls are every market that have a variety of pre-pounded curry paste that you can buy to cook at home depending on what you want to cook and eat. It does taste good to make your own, but it’s very convenient to buy it from the market. We then also bought some freshly squeezed coconut milk, which is also easy and convenient to buy at any Thai market.
After going home, I did some work for a couple hours, I’m working on producing a video about the top things to do in Saigon, Vietnam (coming soon), and I also had some blogging and e-mailing to do. I didn’t help with too much of the cooking, but I was called by my wife to do some taste testing!
At about 11 am, the time finally came for lunch. I first stir fried up a plate of sunflower sprouts, which I really enjoy doing, and then I sat down for a full southern Thai food lunch. The first dish I had was gaeng tai pla (แกงไตปลา), a fish innards curry that’s one of the most popular southern Thai foods. Then I ate some of the gaeng som malakaw (แกงส้มมะละกอ), as southern Thai sour soup of fish and green papaya. It’s one of my favorite foods living in Thailand, and though it’s from the south of Thailand, I eat it nearly everyday in Bangkok. Lastly I ate some of the khanom jeen nam ya (ขนมจีนน้ำยา), a thin coconut milk and fish curry from southern Thailand as well. Typically it’s served with khanom jeen rice noodles, but I really like it with rice.
Khanom jeen nam ya recipe: www.eatingthaifood.com/2015/05...
One of the reasons I love living in Bangkok and in Thailand are the morning markets, and the delicious food you can make from all the ingredients available.
Hope you enjoyed this vlog, and I’d love to hear what you think about it in the comments section below. I would like to do more and more vlogs about daily living in Bangkok or traveling, so keep checking back for more video updates!

The nicest guy on the planet. Loves food and culture and what both of those mean on a more spiritual level with immense passion. I only discovered Mark's videos about a week or two ago but absolutely hooked. A man after my own heart, really good food, humble and kind and welcoming to the entire educational experience. Huge huge respect for him.
You have such peace and joy from sharing a meal with us.🙌🏻😀 thanks so much for sharing your family's wonderful meals!! I'm moving to Thailand soon can't wait!
You're so humble, man! Your family is very lucky to have you
You are definitely living the life Mark. Your acumen is very notable when it comes to informing the viewer of all the culinary delights of your travels, and I must say that your English is so so perfect. Your enunciation of every single vowel and syllable that should be uttered is quite impressive. I know some people don't care, but believe me, there are those of us out there who do take notice. Your channel and your videos are very informative and well executed; an excellent point of reference to anyone who might be wanting to learn more about exotic foods. I'm glad to be a current watcher, and I look forward to watching the future videos you put out.

I know, I perceived that; but his English is truly perfect, well pronounced and enunciated. To be so formidably spoken yet so care free is very rare for an American. Believe me, most Americans don't speak English as well as Mark does despite the fact that English is their first language.

Hello Mark! Just wanted to tell you that I am a young guy looking for something passionate in life, and you've definitely opened up my mind about traveling and exploring the world and its flavors. I wanted to thank you and say that I love all of your videos, they are more than entertaining!
I get so excited every time your mother in law's home cook meal shows up! This is my favorite video!
I love how down to earth you are! I usually eat the same food for lunch and dinner, too.
You're the best! You make me want to learn more about food and budgeting for travel. Thanks for everything you share.
I'm so jealous of your ability to speak fluent Thai! And so blessed to have such a good wife and mother in law who also cooks amazingly! :)
one of the best episodes of Mark Wiens, awesome!
Mark, you are on my top list of food bloggers! Thank you.😍
This vlog was top notch Mark. I always watch your eating at restaurant videos you do but it's great to also see the day to day stuff like shopping at markets and riding around on mopeds. My inner nerd loved the video production portion. Great job and now I'm even more excited for July when my wife and I will be in Bangkok!

He is not only fluent in thai but also the way he uses spoon and fork is so thai!! Omg im so impressed!
That meal w all that fresh turmeric, dried turmeric, fresh garlic, chilis, papaya, fresh herbs and mixed white and red rice is a HUGE anti-cancer feast. If we all ate like this every day cancer rates would crash.
Mark, The food looks amazing. Really enjoy the visits to the markets. Yes, Yes, Yes! More vlogs. TFS :)

I love watching you ;) Thank you for sharing in your new blog! I'm a huge fan of your work and personality. I've been open to eating more outside my comfort because of your videos. I enjoy watching how much you've grown and shared your family :) your wife and family are beautiful. Thank you also to the great people you bring, working hard outside their home to provide, give, sell with care and love because when you enjoy their meals from their fruit of hard labor of love, it shows. The tour guides, and great friends who sharing common good knowledge, laughs, character and good vibes together is amazing to watch
This is great Mark!! I can't wait for your vlogs. I love Thailand and when I travelling I like to eat the local food :)))

I miss Thailand so much watching your videos. I was born there but moved to the US since I was 12. You make everything look so exciting in Thailand, and you are probably more Thai than I am right now. I've never been to morning market before. lol That nam ya curry looks so good
I love your food enjoyment facial expressions, it says it all & makes for the ultimate food tasting experience, thank you Mark Weins!
Hi Mark . I love all your videos. You are definitely a lucky man to have a mother in law and a wife who cook you delicious meals. Salute.

Hi Mark, I have been enjoying your utube food adventures and what obviously appears as wonderfully delicious dishes at home in Bankock. When I see the variety of foods you are exposed to I see how limited my diet has been my entire life. The traditional american diet is not the healthiet.. I live south of NY City in central New Jersey, USA. Much of the food you ate in N.Y. is part of my diet. NY style pizza, sausage, onions and peppers on italian rolls, stuffed cabbage, hamburgers and french fries is common place. I have a friend who is from Okinawa, Japan and she has occasionally created some fine japaneese cuisine with simple healthy vegatbles sauces which is a delight to experience. Look forward to your continuing food showcases. Best always to you, your wife/camara tech support and mother in law. Live the good life in Bangkok.
The man loves and appreciates beautiful flavourful southern Thai food. Go Mark. Best food blogger ever. Yum😋

Out of all of Mark's videos...this one with it's home cooked food keeps bringing me back
Very nice man. The best thing is you are very genuine. Love that.
I need a mother in law like that :)
Awesome vlog. I think you tapped into a niche that no one else is covering, especially in Asia - high quality video of day to day food preparation and eating. Please do more of these everyday market shopping/cooking videos! By the way, how much did the groceries for this meal cost? Thank you!

You are just awesome Mark I live on the other side of the globe but i can tell by watching that you have a heart of gold
Mark can you make a video about learning Thai language? I think it would be very helpful for people who would like to learn other foreign language.
