Welcome to Thailand! I'm from SoCal and I've been living in Chiang Mai for ten years. I hope you'll come up north to visit.
I absolutely plan to come up to Chiang Mai. I plan to start one of my motorbike tours from there.
I saw your interview on Thairish Times and subscribed. Sorry to hear you got crook, but I think that is par for the cause in Asia. I 'm moving there in a few weeks so I probably get my turn too. Anyway good transmission, I mean vlog. Looking forward to more like tis stuff in the future.
Yeah Chip, it’s bound to happen at some point. I think no matter where you move, if the climate and the food is very different your body will definitely revolt. Thank you for your support!
I hope you feel better now. Take care yourself and thank you for your sharing.
Thank you for your support! I definitely feel a lot better.
Hi Serg. Sorry to hear that. My Thai friend always tells me when it comes to the food in Thailand, try to eat something hot to avoid getting sick.
I still don’t know if it was any of the food, to be honest with you. I’ve always had a sensitive stomach, so I’m not really surprised. Honestly, it was bound to happen, so I’m glad I got it over and done with.
Not sensitive stomach, but having sudden unreasonable sick in Thailand :
100 % comes from not cleaning ice in the drinks. I'd like recommending to drink with ice in every cleaning look area. 💚
Those are good points that I really need to consider more. Thank you very much for that information.
I like how you just wander around aimlessly!
Sometimes it’s fun to just get lost.
Hi Serg, it will take sometimes for your body to adjust to food and weather there. Get well soon! I'm glad you enjoy your life there.
Yes, my stomach is still not 100%, just depends on what I eat and how hot it is.
The cool towel is the life saver for me when I had to exposed in the sun.
Absolutely. I need to be sponsored by them. Lolll
Take care yourself and thank you for your sharing.
Thank you very much for your support!
i will definetely go to that place in January to try that roti 7:09 , looks delicious my friend. I love your videos, started watching just a few days ago and now i can't go to sleep everyday unless i watch one your videos lol
That’s a great market. It closes at 2 PM and it’s only open Monday through Friday. It’s the best roti I have tried here so far. Thanks for watching!
I'm Thai but I'm living in Ireland. I'm also a fan of Joy Division and New Order. Love your shirt! Love your channel also! Have been following your since your first clip here!
Yes, both awesome bands. You’re about the fourth person gets picked up on the shirt. Thank you so much for your support
Sometimes it can be very simple. People avoid drinking tap water so they make sure to buy bottled water but when they order a cold drink have their drink full of ice cubes made of tap water. It's often these simple things that gets you the runners.
Yeah that’s quite possible. It happened again a few days ago. I’m not worried about it.
Mostly, it is about the ice (from smoothie) or regular ice. Ice sometimes is contaminated with some bacteria. That bacteria is ok for the local but not for foreigners. So, make sure you have ice from the trusted restaurant.
I think that is THE most likely cause behind me getting suck. Good point.
Noooo Serg!! You were sick TWICE alone in the foreign country. 💔💔 Wish you back on health and kicking!!
It’s ok. It happens. I’m sure it will happen again. Lol. Hope to see you at my livestream
tomorrow morning.
@@LifewithSerg Tomorrow is the BKK election day and I need to go cast my vote but I will like and comment on your video for sure!
BTW Love your “Joy Division” tee. My fave band!
Yes, I realize that I’m holding the lifestream on election day. I did not realize that elections are held on a Sunday! You’re the third person they picked up on the T-shirt! I would love to find a club in Bangkok to place this kind of music. Any suggestions?
You nearly walked about 10 km. in this Vlog lolll. The community the local would not fancy going there but you did. Nice Serge you brave!
I think I did walk 10 km! I’ve been through that community once before, I don’t think I would go there for the first time and record. I want to check it out first
Hi Serg, hope you feel better right now. I am Thai American citizen . When I need to get back to visit Thailand I alway got sick with some Thai foods.Please be careful about the street foods,make sure it’s clean if you feel your stomach upset,drink some dark tea .It is helping me a lots. When you start hungry again you can try to eat the rice soup till you feel better . Enjoy the weather and the foods in Thailand 😆
Hey thanks for all the advice. You’re very correct. I really need to be a little bit more careful. Thank you for your support
Glad you are feeling better. Looks like everything is back to normal. I am going to try and make it over there this fall. You up for dinner? I buy
Hit me up when you get here. Instagram is the easiest way. @lifewithsergey
No turkey in Thailand. Unless it's Thanksgiving and you want to pay $100.
I've been in Chiang Mai for 5 years. I've had good posining 3 times. First week in Bangkok. A few years later on Krabi. And a year later in Chiang Mai. I went to the hospital 2x. For 2 days each time. Not fun. Enjoy yourself in 🇹🇭
Yikes! I don’t think I got food poisoning but I’m definitely gonna be a bit more careful with what I eat. And yes, I didn’t think it was turkey I don’t know why I said turkey in that video
It's a little bit late, but I'm glad u got better Serg! And it's always good to know what can we take whenever we feel bad in another country, so thanks for that!
And yes for sure, I'd try to go in one of those neighbourhoods, just to see how are them, bc they're part of Thailand as well! I've worked for 3 years in the slums of Buenos Aires, so it doesn't surprise me neighbourhoods like that (even though I don't know if they're considered slums in Thailand)
Anyway, thanks for the vid, amazing as usual! Kisses from Arg! n.n
Thank you so much for the warm wishes. Argentina seems like a beautiful country. I need to explore more South America one day.
@@LifewithSerg You're welcome!! And thanks! It is! We've beautiful places as well! -but, don't come to our beaches, they're not good- buuut if you like the city and mountains, it worth it :D if you come I'll show u around n.n
I used to travel frequently to Bangkok for work. Each travel lasted from 1 to 3 weeks. Always had Imodium and probiotics in company provided travel kits. When eating street or local food market food, ate only the stuff that came of hot woks. That temperature surely killed any bug. Stayed away from raw salads and sushi but I am not a big fan of them anyway. Loved each of the trip.
Yeah, our western stomachs are just not used to a lot of this food. I’ve always had a sensitive stomach, so it’s still not that easy for me, even after a year.
Another medicine suggestion is Salol et Menthol Mixture with rabbit logo. Help a lot.
To get bad stomatch in Thailand can happen anytime with no reason. Even when I had a same dish with my family, sometimes I just doom.
It would become a cycle. Try something, getting sick, eat simple food, be fine, try something again.
Yes, after dozens of people Suggesting it to me, I finally found some and now I have three bottles on hand at my condo. Lol
Some interesting walks for sure. Will enjoy exploring there when I visit ..
There’s lots of interesting stuff around here. More than just fancy malls, bar girls and high-rise buildings.
@@LifewithSerg indeed.
7-11 is a life saver over there.I used to stop in for an aircon break when I felt overheated.
I have absolutely done that on more than one occasion. Actually I can’t think of a day when I went walking on extended tracks without stopping in to at least one or two 7/11 stores.
Water and no meat helps.
Great t-shirt.
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to recognize the shirt. Lol.
Street food is the BEST food. The busier the place, the fresher the food...and they always cook over very high heat, so even if there were 'bugs' in the ingredients, likely they get cooked off.
I only got sick once, and it was straight up due to noodles which had been sitting out for too long. Pad See Ew to be exact, at a mall. Had I ordered those from a street food vendor, it wouldn't have happened.
I would have to agree Beverly. I’ve been pretty fortunate, I’m just not sure we finally got me here.
Greetings from sunny Kent UK 😊 Oooh dodgy tummy! Like you said, stick with bland food 24-48 hrs and Thai rice porridge (joke in Thai) is good 👌 Another enjoyable vlogging 🙏
Of course, as you can tell right in the video, I didn’t follow my own advice at all
Hi Serg take care. Curries normally have quite a bit of coconut milk in them and coconut milk is spoils easily in hot weather. Another factor to consider is the freshness of the meat in the curry. Finally the chilli paste used to prepare the curry could also been left exposed in the hot weather for too long and it is a hotbed for salmonella...
Absolutely, there’s many different ways to get sick from food left out in the heat. There are absolutely a few street vendors here that I would not buy anything from. Some just looked very unsanitary.
I got sick once in Thailand, since than I've stayed away from Street Food and I've not gotten sick after that. I'm not saying the food at established restaurants is any better but I've had better luck.
Yeah, I think it could happen anywhere. But there are certain street foods that I need to stay away from.
@@LifewithSerg Just started following you since you left for Thailand, like your YT content.
Thank you for your support one! I’m starting a live stream in less than 10 minutes.
Besides many cautions given to you relating to food, sometimes bad ice can give you problems too. My expat DH always watches out for that as most of Thai foodshops don't have their own ice machine. There could be ice contamination on the way to your drink cup. See if drinking water from the bottle helps you avoid the problem.
That is excellent advice. I will try to avoid drinking ice drinks from smaller shops.
@@LifewithSerg
I’m always try to stay with hot food ( temperature ) if you eating anything cold I don’t know how long they’ve got it out there and those thing could caused you to get sick! 🤷♀️
That’s a very good point! I need to pay more attention and only eat hot food.
@@LifewithSerg
Yeah we went there in 2016 and neither one of us got sick, knocked on wood 🪵!
there are rules for Thai people during the pandemic: eat hot foods, make sure ur hand clean, always use serving spoon (medium spoon) when eating together.
If u feel ur dish is too hot or too spicy, do not take risk by forcing urself to finish it. order a new one with less spicy and hot (u can ask the waiter/waitress for that). hope this help.
Those are all very good points. Thank you so much for sharing that information
Serg, sorry hear you got sick bit hey it happens occasionally to us all. Thai like to eat Gok (congee rice) when sick or Khao Tom. Personally find Khao Tom too watery but worth a try.
Several people have recommended it to me as well. I will have to try that.
(OHS) occupational healthy & safty in food handling & safty in some asian countries may not be as strict as the west. Especially the street food.
Ha ha. You could say that again. 🤣😁
Haha good content. I have always wondered would they ever get sick when all these CZcamsrs tasting the delicious street food in Thailand . Thanks for showing me the real side. Hope you get well soon
Oh yeah, it was bound to happen. Thank you for your support.
Hi Serg, sorry to hear you weren’t well. My wife makes a wonderful Thai rice soup (khao Tom) which I find excellent for an upset stomach. I usually stick to it exclusively until things get back to normal. Hope this helps and and thanks for the videos.
Yes, my Thai friend brought me some chicken soup and some rice and chicken the day I was sick. I felt so much better.
@@LifewithSerg Jok rice and Khao Tom
Hmmm? A stray? Stray what?
Yes it is good vdo. I like yr English.
Smiles
Early in the video you said something in Thai and then displayed the English translation! That was neat. Do it whenever you can. Thanks.
As I slowly learn the language, I will definitely include English subtitles. Just bear with my pronunciations of the Thai words. Lol
I always say big NO NO for sushi street food in Thailand that has raw fish in it or on it. Even I am Thai and have a strong stomach. The temperature and humidity are not just right for raw fish and meat meals. Also, Thai people don't really have skill set to handle raw fishes like Japanese or Korean. I did try though...once and got sick bad and never again.
I’ve tried it once, and I didn’t get sick. But I’m not going to ever do that again. Just not worth the risk
@@LifewithSerg hey dude research how fast bacteria can spread in fish super super fast
Glad to see it looks like you’re feeling better! Luckily I’ve never gotten sick from food in Southeast Asia yet (knock on wood 😄) but I have gotten sick from going in and out from the hot humid outdoors into air conditioned places too much in a day before.
Yeah I could’ve been any of those things. The comments people have left on this video have been extremely insightful. I’ve definitely picked up a bunch of great tips
Have you ever tried Thai poridge ((ข้าวต้ม) or congee (โจ๊ก)? They are soft and easy to digest- good for when you have upset stomach or sick.
Fyi - Thai peole dont eat turkey and the sweet sauce on the roti you had must be sweet condensed milk.
Yes, I realize that there is no turkey here. And that is why I asked her for just a little bit of the sweet sauce, as I knew exactly what it was. I have not tried congee yet.
I'm Thai, I got food poisoning after I ate hamburger from 7-11 (it happened to me like 10 years ago), second time when I ate fried pork with garlic from street vendor, they probably used old oil.
Absolutely. It could happen at the finest restaurants as well, not just street vendors. I actually think what got me sick was one of the Onigiri from a 7-Eleven. But I don’t know that for sure.
I’m sorry to hear that. When I went to visit Thailand. I had to eat hot food I afraid to getting sick.
Honestly, I’ve eaten so many strange things here in the six weeks since I’ve arrived, I’m surprised it took me this long to feel the effects. I think the food here is great. This kind of thing can happen anywhere.
In the salad roll, it's boiled chicken breast. Lots of protein and no fat
And in Thailand, there is a Thai version of Beef Jerky. very famous The dish is called "Nua Dad Diaw เนื้อแดดเดียว" or Sun-Dried Beef, and the method is to coat and marinate with coriander roots, garlic, pepper and soy sauce, and then dry in the sun for a day. and then fried or grilled It's the Thai version of Beef Jeky. You can find it in Isaan restaurants. or a shop that sells fried sun dried pork , fried sun dried beef and if you eat it with sticky rice It's a Thai super combo.😁😁🙏🙏
That sounds delicious! I will have to find this beef jerky.
@@LifewithSerg You can try it at Isaan restaurants or the grilled chicken or roast pork that are carts. It will have a long piece of pork or beef in small strips. many pieces in 1 stick That's sun-dried pork. or sun-dried beef (beef is darker than pork) or a shop that sells the famous Moo Pla Raa หมูปลาร้า. They also use sun-dried pork with fermented fish sauce as well.
Yes we travellers have all experienced the stomach upset in a foreign country eating foreign food. Happy to follow you as you are a single person experiencing Thailand through your eyes. Thanks for that perspective
You’re absolutely right Donna, it’s just a matter of time before this happens to anyone traveling. I appreciate your support.
As a Thai.One thing I worried a lot to foreigners in Thailand was eating food from street food venders or from food stands. Every
time I bought some food and took home I always heated it to be sure whether the food was clean enough for
my health or not.
I’ve eaten street food in many countries. To be honest with you, I never ate street food when I lived in America, but for some reason I don’t even think twice about doing it here. 😜
Roti. Oh like Ohio or like row the boat. Sorry you got sick, charcoal is pretty good, loperamide is better. FYI, pretty much all temples have public restrooms. I have never felt like I was in danger Walking in the neighborhood while in Thailand. I’m sure that late at night near bars With tourists could be sketchy.
It was bound to happen. Honestly, I’m surprised it took this long. I realize there’s plenty of dangerous things here. I’m not being naïve. However, it definitely feels safer here than it did in the US.
This type of travel shows you and me how lucky we are. We are able to travel and move in and out of these different lives.
Yes. We are very fortunate. I never lose sight of that. I’m very grateful.
You can drink this anytime to protect your stomach. A good alternatives thai med, taste like Greek schnaps . " ยาธาตุน้ำขาวตรากระต่ายบิน" might be mixed with Anis seed . Help against stomachache,
Ah yes Anis is supposed to be very good for the stomach.
I am 100% sure you would have gotten it from fresh fruit and vegetables washed in contaminated water. Also yes, I would walk in those ares, that is where the interesting stuff is. Lastly the How-to stuff I was talking about in the stream was along the lines of those carbon tables or booking a train/bus trip or anything that would make a visitor’s stay all that better.
Ahhh. All good points Dion. Might have also been the ice. Anyhow, I just need to be more careful. The how to videos are a good idea. Maybe a “how to survive a vacation on Bangkok” video. Good idea.
Serg, I would agree with the safety aspect you mentioned. I have been in Bangkok at least 5 times and have walked EVERYWHERE and never felt threatened or at risk any time. I have walked in allies at night, down seemingly deserted neighborhoods in the daytime - always felt like I was walking in complete safety.
Regarding your illness, don't discount the possibility of mosquito-borne disease or too much sun/heat. IT isn't just food that makes us ill. For me it was a tiny amount of tap water and it put me down for about 36 hours.
Yeah Jeff, it could be a combination of things. Believe it or not, it actually hit me again last night! I’m hoping it’s just my body adjusting.
@@LifewithSerg Hope you bounce back quickly!
Me too man! I’ve been hit With whatever this is three times in the last three weeks
Fantastic content!!! Great job on this one, the exploration is riveting. Just found your channel and am binging on it all. Hoping to see at some point you do a patreon...
Hey Jeff! I’m glad you like my content. There’s lots more to come. I have channel memberships right now, which is similar to Patreon. Take a look at the descriptions in my videos for that link.
Thanks! I have now just jumped on the channel subscription thing. I am amazed that you responded so quickly. Just some FYI, I came to you via CBmedia the only other channel I give $$ to. So far I love all your content. Keep up the good work! Love the travel/food stuff and automotive focus as well. There is plenty of room for you. Whereas Chad has focused on Automotive lately (at the detriment of travel/food), I feel there is a lot of room for a more balanced travel/food and automotive focus that you have. Thank you so much for your content! My work should be sending me to Viet Nam soon (Danang)...and I will put Thailand and extra vacation on my list to visit. Please take these comments as validation on the path you have chosen. Excellent and by far on par with CBmedia.
Thank you so much for that Jeff! He was a huge part of the inspiration for me to work on my CZcams channel and to move to Thailand.
I respond to every single comment on my channel. I will do it until the channel gets too big for me to handle all the comments alone. I really appreciate you supporting me as well!
The heat always gets me for 1 or 2 days and affects my stomach. Good thing as you know they have fast acting medicine. I feel safer walking in the back streets of Bangkok than some places I london .
It’s so safe here compared to the US and UK! I totally get it.
A few videos ago …..”it’s odd that they have all this Sushi just sitting out in the heat. It must be ok though - lots of stands selling it”……two days later…..”I’m not able to post a video today - I’m not feeling well. Don’t know what I ate”. 😂
Actually that video was shot about a week before I posted it, so it wasn’t the sushi at all. Having said that, I will never tempt fate like that again. LOL
As you mentioned about the road on Sukhumvit you walked through the local market , it was Sukhumvit 29, Soi Asoke, I guess.
Oh yes. Many local markets here. Love them.
During hot days, don’t eat raw street food and protein, even cooked proteins in street markets.
Every day is a hot day here. Lol. Seriously though, it’s hot every single day.
Thanks for your interesting and beautiful impressions.
You can always get sick. Perhaps to get used on the climate conditions in Thailand first.
Perhaps it’s from the food or an infection. I am happy that you feel pretty well again.
To eat spicy is also good. To drink water is very important and not to take a smoothie with sugar. I take now care, if I order food that they cook without sugar.
Thais give to much sugar into drinks per example cold coffee, smoothies and food. So I Order now every time without sugar.
Have a nice evening.
Yes Manfred, the Thais tend to put sugar into almost everything. I try to ask for no sugar with any food I order.
Hello Sir! Found your channel after I watched your interview with Petel. Im leaving my law enforcement career in Washington State and moving to Chiang Mai in 2 weeks. Recently married my thai fiance of 3 years and decided id rather be there with her as opposed to bringing her here. Anyway, best of luck with your channel. Its super fun content! Btw, i brought some of those charcoal pills back to washington cause they work like a charm!
Hey congratulations on your retirement! I haven’t been to Chang Mai, but I’m super excited to go visit. I hope you and your wife have a wonderful life here. Thank you for your support.
It is interesting to see how the Thai have adopted the Roti as being something they now eat regularly. I guess India is not so far away really. I even saw Roti carts in rural Laos.
Yes, I’m really surprised to see it here. I don’t recall seeing them here when I visited 10 years ago. I’m sure they were here, I just did not notice them. But now that I’ve tried one, I want more!
Be careful and take care urself
These things happen, I’m not too worried. Thank you for your concern!
When your stomach is sick, might depends on the hottest weather, and street food is rarely clean, try not to eat salad, sushi, ice or smooties on the street. I'm thai who lives in Europe, I seldom has diarrhea, once I was in Bkk, we had a good dinner in a good restaurant, I drank plum juice with ice cube that I havent drunk for a long time. After a short time I got stomachache, then many time ran to toilets. I got the charcoal like you bought at 7/11and I drink only chinese tea or hot drink only, avoid ice for few days , it works. Take care and have a good time in Bkk.
Yes, I deafly need to be a little bit more careful. After living in America for 40 years, I think I just took for granted the cleanliness of all the food service there.
@@LifewithSerg grrrr....ok then well done.
I have never been sick from Thailand street food but my day will come one day
Don’t jinx yourself Paul. Lol. Yeah, I have not either to be honest with you. I’m still not sure if I got food poisoning, or just a cold. I’ve always had a sensitive stomach so I should be careful as to what I eat. I just find it all so delicious that I can’t resist.
@@LifewithSerg The street food / market food is what I miss the most from Thailand cant wait to get back and do thai bbq
I'm glad you're doing better man!
Yeah, I’ve actually gotten some amazing tips from the comments to this video. Realize the few things I was doing wrong, and a few things I was doing right.
@@LifewithSerg That part is a neverending journey. It's been 5 years for me and I feel like a newb half the time. You are doing awesome. Stay healthy and happy. I'm sure you will be surpassing 100K subs and even far more meaningful benchmarks as you continue your journey.
I have been to Thailand 8 times now. But back in the 90's I was in Pattaya and I ordered oysters at this restaurant, but because I can't speak Thai, the oysters came on a plate that were uncooked. Well I ate them and later that day I got very sick. I ask my friend to go down to McDonalds and get me a strawberry milkshake. Of course today McDonalds does not have strawberry milkshakes. But that helped me a lot. But I think back on that meal and the water could have got me sick also and not the oysters. But it is no fun being sick in Thailand,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Oh man that sounds bad! Sorry to hear that
My rules for eating in Thailand are: fried, grilled and boiled. No fresh salads unless I prepare it myself and I rinse it in bottled water. The issue is the tap water there. Also the pharmacy sells something called White Rabbit, that's what I take for upset stomach.
Oh yes. I have found my lord and savior White Rabbit. 😁
@@LifewithSerg hahaha enjoy
Enjoy watchin yr video.When are you going for the Roadtrip again?
I’ll be doing lots of different road trips. Possibly one in a couple of weeks.
Rice soup is good when your stomach is not right, you can get it at many places even 7-11.
Absolutely correct. Everybody’s bring up such good points! I wish I had remembered them when I was sick. Lol. 555
Hey Serg the best stomach bug cure all is to eat some raw garlic heads like their pills. Youll be fine in 2 hours for good. I had the same issue in Phuket
That’s interesting, I will definitely have to keep that in mind.
It's pretty common to get sick in Thailand for foreigners, but not for them. When you stay longer, you probably got a stronger stomach which means less irritation and less sick. I usually skip those raw seafoods BTW, don't feel safe eating those in South East Asian countries since we all know how hot the weather is.
Yes you’re absolutely right. It’s probably just my body adjusting. I will also never eat street sushi again. I didn’t get sick, but I’m not going to take that chance again. Thank you for your support.
great video so practical... that carbon charchoal at 711 did not work for me. got sick last 4 days of my trip with the runs.. eventually the pink bismuth stuff worked at home when i got back, but man i can only suspect what happened. i was doing well the first 3 weeks. i'm bring my own just in case to thailand
I actually did really well the first three weeks as well. And then the next three weeks were really bad. I’m almost 3 months in, and I’m happy to report that everything is normal
I don't see much refrigeration or food on ice. Lots of uncovered food. Just the way it is in some countries so always comes with a risk.
Yes, there’s definitely an increased risk when such high temperatures are involved. I’m surprised it took me a whole month before I got sick.
Just came back from Thailand, I really missed the street food there,everythings look so yummy
Yes the food here is absolutely amazing.
I'm Thai.I love you ♥️ keep you safe Have fun traveling ♥️
Thank you for your support!
nice to hear your feeling better. I hate GI problems! Ginger always helps an upset stomach but I guess you found a cure. Happy travels and keep us posted.
Hi Rudy, yes I definitely feel better. Thank you very much for your concern and ongoing support.
Dear Serg, one more thing, the real danger in Thailand is not the criminals, but the streets and reckless drivers.
100% on the drivers!
Great content brother. Cheers from Kentucky
Thanks Ed! I never made it to that part of the US, always wanted to go!
How are you today..I hope you okey..good luck everything,every time..♡from Bangkok,Thailand
I’m fine now. Thank you very much for your concern.
In addition, you provided some information about bow movement the days before , I think that you had the problem of food poisoning which made you sick. Please be careful. Wish you good luck.
I’ve had a sensitive stomach my whole life. So I do tend to be a bit more careful.
The Key is to not eat food that has been sitting, make sure it was JUST cooked and steaming hot. Also stay away from the ice, only type of water you should be taking in is bottled water
You are correct! I need to pay more attention to those tips.
I must say all the places I have visited South east Asia from ultra clean Singapore to Cambodian street food I haven't got sick.
I still don’t know if it was the food or the ice etc. I’ve always had a sensitive stomach so I’m not really surprised to be honest with you
@@LifewithSerg it might be the ice. Commercial ice has holes in it so watch for that.
I think that’s actually what it was!
Thank you all for your support! If you want to support me, a like or a comment on this video would really be appreciated.

I usually drink ginger tea. That helps
You’re absolutely right! I completely forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me.
@@LifewithSerg Or slices of ginger that are coated with sugar. It is delicious and helps with upset stomach.
Ugh. You’re so right! I totally forgot.
@@LifewithSerg I bought a big bag from Costco and everytime I crave for sugar, I eat ginger and ice cream too 😂
That’s pretty smart.
the roll that you mention about turkey. it made of pork.
OK, thanks for letting me know!
You should eat Rice soup or Noodle soup when you are sick and pls avoid sushi in a flea market due to the weather is hot that cause shushi is not fresh enough pls take good care of yourself cheers cheers
Yes you are correct, I only had sushi at a market once. I will definitely never do it again even though I didn’t get sick from it.
I’ve also used ‘ca R bon’ whenever I feel something wrong with my stomach after food.
Yep. It works good.
It's Rain season Serg food stuff here gets spoiled faster in rain season a lot more due to high average temperature and high average humidity also higher chance of cross contamination with drinks from street vendors and ice mixed with rain droplets as well.
So if you want to eat street food do it before rain or stick to shopping malls food court.
I got diarrhea when I tried eating in the rain or my food got rained in a bit.
Avoid stalls that leave food out in the open too much to minimize the risk of getting upset stomach diarrhea or worse food poisoning mostly happened to curry or thai soup dishes.
As a Thai I also have a sensitive stomach so I can eat a lot less street food than I wanted to and when I do I mostly stick to hot egg noodles or deep fried or grilled stuff.
Rice dishes tend to got spoiled pretty quick.
Yeah I’m definitely be careful. I think I’ve learned a few lessons about ice and other things have to be careful with eating.
Hi Serg, I recommend you go and visit Maeklong railway market (Talad Rom Hoop) in Samut Songkram province where you’ll definitely be amazed witnessing a train rushes through an open market where vendors and customers are busy making their daily businesses.
I was there on my first trip to Thailand in 2012. It’s been 10 years, maybe I’ll go see it again. That market was quite spectacular.
Love the tips of you get sick!
Lol. I’m glad you find them useful. I sure did!
Hope you feel better soon ..
Thanks! I feel better already
I always take charcoal tablets when I travel in case I get the squirts. Works much better than anything else. Word of advice when eating Indian food or any other, is to check out the toilet facilities before ordering. If they are hygenic then there's a good chance the kitchen is the same.
Charcoal tablets, definitely work, however, I’ve been pretty fortunate and haven’t needed them in about six months.
@@LifewithSerg I agree with you about the street food. You actually get to see how the food is being prepared as opposed to restaurants. If there's one tip I can give you is to carry a 0.5 to 0.6 thermos to keep cold water in. You can add ice too and it'll keep cold easily throughout the day 👍
Серёж, привет. Тайцы очень любят во все блюда добавлять усилитель вкуса. Всегда проси чтобы они этого не делали.
да, мне нужно помнить об этом. благодарю вас.
Yes I need to remember that. Thanks for the tip!
But if you scan around to see how it has been prepared technically within the store you can tell by 90% but who knows good luck
Yes, sometimes it is a roll of the dice.
Eat well-cooked and hot food first, Serge. Wish you luck!
Thank you very much. I’ve been pretty lucky with most of the food I’ve had.
I am Thai, living in Pathum Thani Province,clean eating and not very spicy be good for healthฺYou need to consult a doctor if possible. Take care 👌👌👌🌺
Thank you for your concern Anne. I’m actually feeling OK now.
Try avoiding vegetables when it comes to street food whether they aren't clean properly or high amount of insecticide left over can give you diarrhea and fever as well. Next thing that nobody ever told you is when weather gets too hot you tend to get fever and diarrhea, that is how your body cope with heat, simple as that. Similar to how your body reacts to -20 degree celsius every single days for the first few months.
Those are all very good points, thank you so much for that advice.
sorry to hear you got sick serg, this video is hilarious to me though as i have just walked those streets and was at ruam sab market this morning for breakfast, what are the chances 😅😄
It’s a small world man! The first person in Bangkok that recognized me from my videos was a guy from Texas. I just came here from Texas myself! How funny is that!
@@LifewithSerg crazy, you're absolutely right though its a small world. all the best with everything man im really enjoying your videos 👍🏼🙂
It happens! I drink Apple juice the next day if I have stomach issues. Somehow it works for me.
I’m starting to think that maybe it was the ice from one of the vendors or restaurants.
Get well soon Serg.
Thank you Burger!
Serg, that roti looks amazing. Another remedy for diarrhea.. bananas! Definitely clogs up my system.
It was exquisite. I’m definitely going to go back to that market and try another one.
Hi Serg, you just walked pass my home. 555
Small world! 😜
Hi serg whats up i want to try some salad roll i would like to try some with a fanta with no sugar it has one in Thailand and some sushi too plus there's mcdonalds in Thailand well I would like try some kraprao rice it has pieces of fish and rice
You can try all of those things here, and much more. Thanks for your support.
@@LifewithSerg your welcome also when someone is traveling or staying in Thailand like you said about the menu because it's on thai language and is not on English so I have to point my finger to the food I want on the menu or an interpreter to speak the Thai language
Go to Phamacy an ask for Cipro floxin 500 Mg.to start with than 250 Mg two times per day you can take for 3day for food poisoning.That’s what I have an experience when am there hope you’re getting better.
I don’t feel that I get food poisoning in hindsight. Not sure what the heck it was. But I definitely learned some really good lessons from all the comments on this video.
You need to eat more hot prep food, rather than cold prep to prevent getting sick from food poisoning.
I think my stomach has finally adjusted really well here. I’ve had stomach issues since I was a kid so for me this is unfortunately kind of normal.
