- Subscribe: / darrenb3 NEW THAILAND VIDEOS EVERY WEDNESDAY! Thai Take Away Food. How to Eat Cheap in Thailand Vlog. Our Dinner Tonight: Street Food from a Night Market in Krabi.
In this vlog I answer a few questions from my subscribers: 1) Does my family cook food in Thailand and 2) What happens to the street food in Thailand at the end of the day. I go to a Thai food market and get some street food for our dinner tonight. Take-out in Thailand is much cheaper than at a Thai restaurant in other countries, but it tastes at least as good, it's usually even more delicious!
This video was filmed at the City Market in Krabi Town. It's on Maharaj 10 Alley in Krabi Town (Google Maps coordinates 8.065098, 98.916182) and is open every day from around 4pm till about 8:30 pm and is a great place for shopping and there’s also tons of Thai cuisine and street food!
Thai Street Food is really delicious, it’s a must to try if you’re on holidays in Thailand. Thailand food markets are one of the best places to buy fresh and authentic Thai food, or to buy groceries and fruit while you travel in Thailand. There are so many Thai dishes on offer and the foods here are cheap, and so tasty! And in case you’re worried, eating street food is perfectly safe. It’s what the locals eat and it is cooked fresh and sold quickly. I’ve been eating it for 3 years in Thailand and my friends who have been to visit and tour Thailand have all eaten it, and none of us have had any problems. Thai street food is some of the best Thai food you’ll find in Thailand!
The markets in Thailand are a great place to get an insight into Thai culture while you travel in Thailand. You can shop alongside the locals and learn what they buy and eat. And the markets are a great place to try traditional Thai street foods, learn Thai recipes and cooking, as well as eat some of the best Thai dishes in Thailand. You'll see the people cooking the food right in front of you. And best of all, the food is cheap, often much cheaper than eating in a Thai restaurant. Eating at markets is a good way to eat cheap on your Thailand holidays.
Make sure you check out some Thai Food Markets on your trip to Thailand, and be sure to sample some of the amazing Thai street food that's available in Thailand! If you want to try some of the most delicious food in the world be sure to visit Thailand!
At any market in Thailand you'll find clothes, food, jewelry, crafts, souvenirs, CDs & DVDs, phone accessories, bags, wallets & purses and loads of cooked authentic Thai cuisine including all the regular Thai cuisine, as well as Thai street food and other delicacies such as durian, duck, frog and various insects. There’s so much variety, it’s definitely worth a look at the markets if you’re on holidays in Thailand.

I think Darren made a great point. These vendors depend on repeat business to survive so they are not going to sell food that'll make people sick.
It's true. Word travels quick here, like everywhere else.
Any vlog I've seen about Thailand, prepared foods seems so inexpensive and so fresh. I don't think I'd cook often either. Great vlog Darren.
Thanks Janice! I think I cooked about twice in the first year I lived here. It's pretty hard to beat the food you can find here very easily!
So many delicious food in the market, very convenience to buy and bring home for lunch or dinner. Will try it if I go Krabi for holiday. Thanks for sharing.
First time I'm commenting but my partner and I watch your videos every week on our tv! Your videos always make us hungry 😅 We're planning a trip to Thailand now for next year and love how detailed your videos are. Your son is so cute! Sending love from NZ!
Thanks a lot! I know you'll enjoy Thailand, it's an awesome country. Thanks for the nice comments, sending love back to you in NZ!
Great video, really informative for me as I'm planning a stay to Krabi, and this is how I plan eating for my family and I. I love all you vlogs, but this one was really useful so thanks.
Thanks for watching 🙏
I am so envious... you live in a place where eating out is not only cheaper but possibly even more importantly 100x tastier than what I could cook... haha! Look at that selection of beautifully cut fruit, delicious curries etc. (from a warm and wonderful smiling lady 7:50, I'm always so happy when I see how friendly these Thai market vendors are). Even the sweet scene (both fruits and dessert-wise) is top notch in Thailand.
13:46 Man what I would do for that stink bean curry! My mouth waters when I see red-hot curries
14:42 Yummy khao mok gai/nasi biryani
And it's all relatively healthy too! Crazy. Would love to say I'm not jealous but I really am!! Also how beautiful is your family, so cute with your lovely wife smiling and your son with the "Cheers" haha! Speaking as someone who was born in M'sia and raised/lives in the UK, you are a very lucky person! :)
P.S. Totally agree with you on the market vendors only cooking as much as they think will sell that day. Competition is cut-throat and if someone got sick, there's no way to survive in business because word would get round faster than you can say "Thailand". It's a tough job - food prep/cooking is time-consuming, most of these people are up early buying fresh ingredients and then must spend ages cooking, not to mention then having to sell it later on, I admire them!
well said! and all in the heat and humidity...ugh
Yes, the food is about 100x tastier than what most people could cook, which is another factor that makes it attractive. Yes, your summary is very accurate. They wouldn't last long if someone got sick. And yes, I am rather lucky :), thanks for the nice comments!
Thank U for taking the time to share this😙
Watching this...and realising this is my dream life
Very good food nice place for food and lots of it awesome food thank you for sharing Bless you all good video.
Hehe I love your videos. It's cool to see all these different foods and how they serve them.Always fresh, they definitely take pride in the food. I would want to try everything! So jealous! lol 😉
found your videos tonight and I must say they are very good, also have to add the 2 times I have been sick in Thailand is after eating KFC, love the street food for the most part, few things I don't like but then again who likes everything?,keep up the good work and watch that durian!
Thanks a lot! Yes, the last time I had a stomach problem was from the same chain, in Australia.
I like how you tell a store about street food. Telling a more complete story makes your vlogs stand out. I thing I would go bananas trying all the food options available. And I can only imagine that cooking at home only if you wanted to control the ingredients like salt, sugar, MSG, and stuff. Thanks
Thanks a lot! Yes, there are loads of options available, makes it pretty hard to get bored with the food here!
Loved it ! Great food taste description. Excellent price for so much fantastic food. Thanks
Thanks Barbara!
You are a lovely family and a joy to watch.
I love your videos no matter how old they are. I also could quite happily live there.
Thanks Julie. Yes, Thailand is a pretty good place to live, I'm certainly very happy with my decision to move here. All the best, Darren
We are heading your way end of Oct. through your videos im also starting to pick up a few words so thank you again.

Happily to see u living a good life in krabi..love krabi so much, will come back to krabi on September
Thanks a lot! Have a great time in September!
The food markets probably make more money than most restauranteurs. I was in Phuket last may and every single restaurant was empty and the food markets were packed out.
Yes, they're pretty much always busy at the markets, no low season there!
Having visited Thailand so many times, I also have personal experiences of Thai street foods or what the vendors sell.. if you believe the foods you would be seeing in a big quantities would be gone within a few hours. Thai people are food loving and every time no matter very early in the morning or late night, you will see people eating. once in Pattaya I was going to have breakfast, I saw a vendor and then I decided to buy some foods, but then I changed my mind to go to McDonals and when I came back in half an hour, the Vendor was gone... She 'd sold everything she had.... I love the Thai foods as well.... and I am going back to Thailand once again.... but after the rainy season....
Thanks for the comments Muneer, yes, the street food generally goes pretty quickly here. Have a great trip to Thailand!
hello Darren!!! I would like to know if maybe you can do a video on Thai Vegetarian food!! I think it would be interesting to see you taste and comment on vegetarian dishes. 😊
Hi Jan, Yes, it is in the plan, in fact it nearly happened today. I will try to get a video made on that some time this week. Thanks for the suggestion :)
+darrenb3 you're welcome, I'm excited for the next video 😃
I will get so big living in Thailand with the convenience and price of the food! 😋
Yes, it's easy to find delicious food here!
We have Thai food in the mall here in the USA usually, but I hope it’s more authentic like these food here, all they have the same boring Chinese food the only different were they have curry. I also wish they have the fried pork and delicious chicken.
Love your vids :) But got a little put off at around (18:38) when you was taking a bite & what looked like a spider free falling on the left and side of the screen.. Love Thai food & you can not beat the markets for variety & value.
Thank! Yes, it was a spider. I found him a few days later and relocated him. You're absolutely right about the markets in Thailand, I love them too! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Good vid
It very good food you love your food very fresh healthy foods thank you for sharing your beautiful foods and lots of them you show thanks, 2-1-19-
Thanks for sharing I want to eat those food so bad. 6/01/16 🤔🤔can't wait to get there!
Enjoy! Thanks for watching!
I agree why would you cook when you have that amazing food right there .......another great Vid Darren.....Not a Pie Floater in sight (lol)
Thanks mate! Yes, no pie floaters here, but there is plenty of other good stuff thankfully ;D
Look aroy mak mak 😋
Many kind of fruits! Looks irresistible to eat! Omelet looks full of onion leaf,i think!~Try Curry soup!~Looks good and smell delicious!
Yes, there are loads of delicious fruits there! The vegetable in the omelet is called "cha-om". In English it is called climbing wattle or pennata wattle. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Ohhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful fruits
And tasty too!
Food looks yummy
It was ;)
Darren, I’ve never got the bagged food before, like curry’s etc.... but I’m assuming it’s possible to hear them up in a microwave? It’s all that’s available in hotel room....?
Yes, it's possible to heat the food in a microwave Dave, as I did in this video. I personally wouldn't heat the food in a microwave while it's still in the bag, but cheap plates and bowls are readily available in Thailand. Just look for a shop with plastic buckets and other plastic stuff outside, or go to a supermarket.
All the best,
Darren
lol...I only wondered about you cooking at home for a nano-second. Why make the mess when delish food is only 10 min away with no mess. So I learned this watching moekbang (Korea) and I was shocked and awed at the same time....when they order take-out (what Americans call it), they get it delivered on decent serving dishes and then they put those dishes outside their door and the delivery person comes back later and picks up the dishes. No kidding! That is also where I learned they have to boil their water or drink bottled...so that may somewhat explain it. The restaurants can easily steam/clean the dishes. A whole bunch of us viewers who don't live in Korea were really overwhelmed by both those pieces of info. Have you been to Korea or heard that????
I've never heard of that regarding the plates. Wow, that is good service! In Thailand the tap water is not the best either, so people drink bottled water here too.
I know....and I'm still not sure someone wasn't pulling our legs about the pick up. So on your 'next mission' could you check it out? J/K
Chicken breast sate is my favorite at this market. Asked a few times for the ingredients but got shot down every time. Can't find the same sauce in Bangkok.
Yes, people are usually protective of their recipes here I've noticed. It is their livelihood I guess.
When you go back to Aussie take ur family to New Zealand.
I'll try. I've heard lots of great things about NZ!
18:38 what's that thing climbing down the wall? Big spider?
I'm from Australia .. that's a small spider ;)
I've been waiting for you to post a market video with some specific content in order to ask a question. I've seen this asked elsewhere but never answered. What's the deal with the crooked headed fish? Every time I see them it looks like they are giving the 'wai' to someone. lol. BTW, don't know if you caught it during editing but right when you are starting to eat your catfish salad (appx 18:38 mark) a very large spider drops from the ceiling to the floor to the right of your right shoulder. He's fast. First time I viewed I caught just a quick movement so backed up and slowed the video down to frame by frame and there he was. God I hate spiders!!
I did exactly the sme roflmbo!!!!
Lol. The fish is a type of mackerel (short mackerel) I believe they bend the head down so that they can be fitted into round bamboo steamers to be cooked. I hadn't seen the spider in the video until you mentioned it, but I did find and relocate him a few days after the video was made :)
Wow, you must really be behind in video responses. I posted this 3 1/2 months ago. After a couple of weeks, I figured I'd never get a response.
Yes, my apologies. I get hundreds of comments per month and I do try to reply to all of them, but it does take a lot of time. I missed his one somehow and just noticed it when I was looking at the comments on this video. Again, my apologies.
im going to phuket for in 2/2/2017 for 22 day
Pluto K.Simpsons You will enjoy there.
👍👍👍😘
Hi Darren, do you eat the food at room temperature or do you microwave it? Cheers.
Ooops continued watching and got my answer, thanks pal.
Interesting how well they sold out.
Yes, they plan it pretty well!
i will be moving at the end of this year
I hope your move goes well!
did you have to reheat the dishes before eating?
sorry ..i asked before i watched the whole video
No worries :). Thanks for watching!
The only time I have ever had food poisoning in Thailand is after eating at an american takeaway chain, KompletelyFuckedChicken or McSpewburger. The only other cases that I know of are where foreigners go to a mookata (Thai barbecue refer czcams.com/video/7j-ODk2PAoc/video.htmlm15s ) restaurant and did not immerse their chop sticks in the soup after using them to put raw chicken on to cook.
Sure, that is important at moo kata to dip your chopsticks in the hot broth after using them to touch raw meat. The last time I had an issue with food was in Australia more than 4 years ago from the same chicken chain.
i cannot eat salt or sweet,[hi blood presser ] is there some dishes you could you would recommend ?
Boiled eggs or plain rice is about all I can think of. Nearly everything in Thailand has a combination of sweet, salty, spicy & sour.
craig vietor Put peeled garlic in a Mason Jar with water in fridge. Drink water in sips, and use cloves for breath, or peppermint.
Lots of foods left they can not sell it! What they gonna do? sell it for tomorrow!~
You seem to have missed my point here. They do not sell the food the next day, they make it fresh every day. There was still an hour or more left of trading when I left the market and nearly all of, if not all of, that stuff would sell in that hour. In that hour the things get progressively cheaper, up to the point where often if I buy 4 things they will give me 2 extra things free to get rid of it. I have asked vendors about it in the past and they told me that if they have stuff left over they give it to their families, or friends/neighbours/relatives in order to get rid of it. They are not going to risk selling old food that might make someone sick, because word will travel very quickly and they will soon not have any customers, as their customers will go to the many neighbouring shops. I hope that clears up what I wasn't clear about in the video :)
Oh! Fresh every days! Nice!!~ Sell so good! I believe! Hey! Neat!
In the north prices seem a lot higher. Foe exam
For example the satay sticks for 20 Baht will be 100.
That is very expensive!
😂 ahh. 😂😂
What are the equivalent to US currency?
USD 1 = 35 baht
Thank you
Is that your family? How much you spend per/month to live in Thailand?
Yes, that is my family. We spend around about 35,000 baht per month.
35k .. is that just for food a month or for all living costs ?
That's for all living costs.
That's awesome ! That's about £800 at current rate in UK costs. Rent/mortgage included ?
May i ask ... I heard you say you wiork on one of your vlogs ... What do you do for. Living in Thailand ?
Yes, that's for all living costs, including rent. I work here as an English teacher.
too much turnover for the food to go bad, and frankly I can almost tell from the vids where care is taken. having said that I'm sure many good places avoided would result on missing some magic? word of mouth alone would be enough incentive to continue to ensure profitability?
Yes, things sell pretty quickly at the markets and word of mouth is definitely a big thing here, as in other places.
:-)
