THIS CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT KOH SAMUI FOOD! 🇹🇭

Today I’m in Koh Samui Thailand and I’ve found an absolute street food, or actually BEACH FOOD joint that I think you have to try on your next trip to Koh Samui.
For 69 baht - £1.60 / $2.00 at at ร้านปอเล บางมะขาม Porlay Samui you can have as much beachside curry with khanom jeen as you want as well as a dessert. For an extra 25 baht, I’d suggest getting some of the excellent gai tod (fried chicken) on offer here.
at ร้านปอเล บางมะขาม Porlay Samui is located directly on the beach with unrivalled in koh samui and offers what i think is the best value street food, or in this case BEACH FOOD that ive found on the island.

My name’s Gary and I’ve been living in Bangkok for the past five plus years and travelling Thailand for over ten. I’m obsessed with Thai street food and it’s that obsession that led me to start this KZread channel. I want to share my favourite hidden spots in Bangkok and the rest of Thailand so you can fall in love with authentic, local Thai food as much as I have!
I’ve never understood travelling to a town or city and not eating the local food. How else do you really connect with a place? Let’s get out and explore together and I guarantee you’ll find a whole different side to this wonderful country.
If you love seeing off the beaten path, non-touristy, local life and authentic local life in Bangkok and Thailand then this is the channel for you. If go go bars on the Sukhumvit Road are more your thing (I’m not judging) then maybe not!

    It's my favorite dishs.😋 Khanom Jeen has 2 types of noodles. One is fresh noodles, the other is fermented. It can be noticed from the color and smell. Fresh noodles are whiter and do not smell of fermentation. As for the curry, there are many variations, but the uniqueness of southern curry is the Tai Pla curry, which has a hot and spicy taste. The central part is curry with coconut milk and Numprik(Numprik is palace style) There are about 6 main curry in Kanom Jeen to choose from but more can be found.

    That was my favourite side of the island, for views, at least. I used to frequent a little place just up the road from there called For Rest Bar, but most of the places along that road were awesome. It's just a shame the nightlife on that side of the island is a little too quiet. Out of interest, what were you filming this on, the views when you're eating, seemed really really sharp, a lot sharper than your normal vlogs, at least the stuff in the foreground, anyway. Looks like very similar to the Portrait mode on the iPhone, but I thought that only worked when taking photographs.
