BANGKOK Chinatown Street Food 2024

Hello again and welcome back to Bangkok and More. First video in Bangkok again, 2024, here right now from Chinatown, Bangkok Chinatown. It's almost 6 p.m. and let's have a look at the streets here. We are at Thanon Chaweng Krum, directly at the MRT station, so it's very easy. Leaving at exit number one, coming out here and start the journey in Chinatown. So like I said, this is Thanon Chaweng Krum. You can come here also by bus very easily from different directions and we start here with a lot of street food. Like always, it starts here. This is a little LA called Thanon Phlang Nam. It's between Chaweng Krum and Yawarat Road. So here we have Yam Mama, different types and different styles. So maybe we have 20 minutes until the sun goes down. Here we have some Chinese food of course here in Chinatown. We have live music on the streets. It was a hot day today. It's the first weekend this year here in Chinatown and people are coming because, you know, if it's too hot people avoid the streets. So this is the best time between 6 and 8. At Yawarat they start usually at 6 p.m. to close the street to build some food paths and it's allowed from 6 p.m. on. To pop up the food stalls. Here we have salmon. Look here. Salmon and this green sauce is very very tasty. Look here. 50 baht for one salmon stick. If it's fresh from the grill here, fresh from the hot plate, it's very yummy soft and of course very important the sauce. Yeah, let's head over to Yawarat. I have new equipment this year. So if you're wondering why the screen is flipping, the camera is flipping, I'm using a new camera, the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and the wireless microphone. And that's my new equipment for this year and I will try it out within the next days to make live streams also with this camera. Let's see how it works. Here we have an oyster bar. Look here. It's full of people here. So this oyster bar is not new. It started very small. Now it's getting bigger and bigger. They sell beer also. You can get your oyster, freshly cracked oyster and yeah you have to wait a while. So it starts here. The prices vary between 150 and 300 baht. A big plate here about 900 baht, 760. So it's not the cheapest street food. Maybe it's one of the most expensive street food here in Bangkok Chinatown right now. Beside the shark fin soup, but here the chicken vendors. This is original street food Khao Man Gai here in Bangkok Chinatown. Let's have a closer look. Soft, very soft and the rice is so tasty because this is not a normal white rice. This rice was made with the chicken broth. Very tasty and that's what makes the Khao Man Gai so special. Restaurant after restaurant. This street is very good if you want to sit down and have some food. It's not so crowded like Yawarat and on Yawarat you cannot sit down at most of the stalls. So here we have like a buffet. You can choose from different a different kind of food here. Look here, it's hot. I don't know how it works. You can choose from different plates and you will get rice of course. But they have also cold drinks here, coke, water, beer, whatever you want. So come early enough because you have to take your time here in Bangkok Chinatown to see most of the most of the relevant street food stalls here. You need maybe two hours to to see everything. Here are these small stalls. Look here, sausages and little beef sticks. The Isan sausage here. Very yummy and you see they start right now. Some of the stalls they are building up their stalls right now in Yawarat. And by the way this is the new style of Bangkok and more. You will see me more often this year. So be prepared and if you are new to the channel feel free to subscribe to the channel, hit the notification bell and you will get informed when we are live also and when new videos come out. So it looks not busy right now but if you wait maybe 30 minutes it's full. It's still full but it's getting more busy. Look here, these mini mini sticks here. Mushroom with bacon. Sausages, bacon from the hot plate. Freshly made. This is what we like. And here the next one is a very special one. They are selling the food on hot plates. Some of the people are still in holiday. So tomorrow tomorrow Bangkok comes back to life. Some people are in the provinces until today, until tomorrow. So you can see here the hot plates. This is how they serve the food to the tables. In the past you can see them cooking but they change the direction from the from the kitchen here. Maybe security reason, I don't know. But let's go further. We have a lot to a lot to see today. The first weekend, the first Sunday first Sunday in 2024. Live cooking. This is what we want, what we love. Very hot. It's nice and you can sit down here at one of the tables here at the opposite of the food stall. And here is Yaowarat Chinatown. The main road, the heart of Chinatown. You can see it's full of people already but it's getting busier every minute. So we will start here at this side going to this direction, heading over to the other side and going back to the end of the road over there. Usually the other side, the opposite, is more busy than here. Let's start here because there is something we can we can see. They are building their stalls right now. You can see opening. This is opening, the real opening hour. Some start a little bit earlier but normally six is the hour where they start selling. Of course some try to open a little bit earlier but officially it's 6 p.m. But during daytime there are of course stalls here selling food. There are some some restaurants open, mainly on the other side, most of them on the other side. So you can go into the restaurant and have your food from early morning until late night.
