AI GeneratedA group of friends takes on a 1,000 Baht challenge at La Lai Sap, a vibrant weekday market in Bangkok's Silom area. Guided by a local, they explore a variety of authentic Thai street foods, traditional desserts, and affordable fashion, highlighting the market's role as a hub for local office workers.
Today we're exploring a famous market in Silom area called Lalai Sak
and we're gonna do 1000 baht challenge with Spada!
Sawasdee ka!
Can we spend all 1000 baht?
Not sure but we can try.
Let's try it, let's go!
Very nice, very sweet.
Tastes like my childhood.
My favourite dish.
They put butterfly in the drink, smooth and soft like cushion.
You guys hungry? Open your mouth.
This is my favourite.
That's really good.
This is breakfast for Thai people.
We usually eat it with sticky rice.
Very nice, very sweet.
Juicy.
Tastes like my childhood.
And there's not that much fat on here.
I like it when it's not fatty.
I think it's important to know this market is only open on weekdays.
From like 7am to 2pm.
It's catered only to the office workers around the area.
And this, every morning.
Do you come and eat this every morning then?
No, I don't wake up at 7am.
Oh by the way, James is going to be our guide in this video.
Because he lives 2 minutes from here.
This is my turf.
Alright you guys, so as James mentioned that this market is famous among the office workers.
So it's only open during the weekdays, not the weekends.
I suggest you to come early around like 9am or 10am.
And as you can see, it's not just food selling.
You can see a lot of clothes, fashion, also brand name stuff.
So it's not just food you guys, you can come here and have fun.
I'm after this and I need to look like a Thai granny.
So do you think this suits me?
I think it's good.
Oh my god, the yellow one.
What would your granny wear?
This one.
Okay, let's get that one.
How much is it?
300 Baht.
You think it's good?
We can go lower.
300?
200.
200 Baht.
Oh, India cotton.
Maybe we go inside and have a look.
Is that quite expensive?
Yeah, let's keep walking.
So 300 Baht.
Expensive?
Let me know in the comments.
Because we only have 1000 Baht, remember?
Oh, oh, are you spending my budget on food?
I want one too.
I thought you were taking me shopping today.
It's gonna be over 1000 Baht.
We're too loud.
Okay, this shop is very popular here.
It's known for fried beef.
So important to get the fatty ones.
Fat is flavor, right?
Fat is flavor.
She's been selling it for 40 years.
Now, James has taken over my channel.
Do you like him?
Let me know in the comments.
Hey, what a good day.
She's our sugar mommy today.
If it's not delicious, you're paying for the next shop.
You pay for the next one.
I go home if it's not delicious.
You're paying for the next shop.
I'm out.
The fat really brings more flavor.
It's very different from like western type steak.
Where this will look overcooked, right?
But it's great.
But it's still quite juicy.
Then make sure you get with fat.
About 100 baht.
Moving on to the next one.
Do you guys know what Kanom Jeen is?
Yes.
Yeah?
How do you explain Kanom Jeen?
It's like a rice noodle.
Chinese noodles?
Fermented.
Fermented?
Yeah, it's fermented.
Basically, this shop has been operating for...
I'll check, like 50 years.
Wow.
Let's go.
Alright, so we have four dishes here.
This type of food is called Kanom Jeen Nam Ya.
It comes with different...
What is it called? Curry?
Curry toppings.
Toppings.
So we have here, this dish is crab.
70 baht.
Chicken, 50 baht.
Fish, with fish balls.
40 baht.
The same one, but spicy.
40 baht.
Super cheap.
And we're literally like sitting across other people.
Super locals here.
I love it.
They've been selling for 20 years.
And I have high expectations.
Because James says it's good.
It's not that good, you know.
Just lower your expectations.
I'm kidding.
Can I ask, in Malaysia, do you have this?
Anything similar?
Not really, no.
We don't really eat rice noodles like this.
It's very Thai.
Because Kanom Jeen translates to...
Chinese noodles.
Kanom is like snack.
Ah, Chinese dessert.
So the first time I heard of Kanom Jeen, I was expecting a dessert.
I was like, what?
What?
Dessert?
What I love about Thai food is,
it's about the seasoning and adding a lot of things in the dish.
And this type of dish, we add vegetables here.
Do you know why we need to add these types of vegetables in this type of dish?
To reduce the spice.
Because it's pretty spicy.
Even though this one, they say it's not spicy,
I bet it's spicy.
Next, we have...
Raw beans.
Raw, everything is raw.
And this is cabbage.
Raw cabbage.
Like this.
This one is a Thai herb.
And it's very bitter.
It's not bitter if you're Thai, you know.
So let's try.
And then bean sprout.
And your complete dish would look like this.
Ta-da!
Mmm, my favourite dish.
Very fresh.
I've never had crab with congee.
Not that spicy.
It is.
It's got a kick to it, for sure.
It's got a lot, man.
Very good.
And it's got big lumps of crab as well.
So let's see if this one,
the non-spicy fish curry with fish balls,
gonna be spicy or not,
because I see some chillies.
Not spicy enough.
That's my favourite.
That's really good.
This is prettier one, it's so good.
Bouncy.
It has fermented fish in it.
Oh, really?
I think this one is a good shop
if you want to try real authentic Thai food.
Only 40 up to 70 baht.
Really worth it.
I forgot to give you a direct translation
of this market name.
So the market is called La Lai Sap,
which means...
Spending money.
Spend all the money on the delicious food and the clothes.
Right?
Are you broke yet?
No!
How about our money?
Yeah!
How much do we got left?
So, they're sold out.
So this shop only opens at 11.
It's only 12.30 now,
and it's sold out.
You're literally on the line.
I was literally on the line,
and the lady was right in front of me.
Last order.
I had to try not to cry.
But anyway,
if you have a chance,
you should definitely try this shop.
I come here all the time to get the Tom Yum,
which is the one with coconut milk.
They're good because they give a lot of
very fresh ingredients.
The prawn is really big,
and it's only 60-70 baht.
So this is a food court area in the AC.
There's a lot of shops as we walked in,
but this shop has the longest line
up until here.
Elephant pants, 100 baht.
I have plenty at home.
Just to let you know.
And a look, 70 baht.
Me and my mom,
before she went abroad
to a colder country
to shop for winter clothes.
I wonder how much.
450.
And you guys,
clothes here, look.
80 baht.
50 baht each.
50!
This is what my grandma would wear to a wedding.
3 for 100!
Anyone offer more?
This is the cheapest so far in the market.
3 for 100.
For pajamas.
Pajamas.
Lemon honey butterfly, please.
They put butterfly in a drink.
50 baht each.
Why is it purple?
Butterfly pea.
Butterfly is pea?
Butterfly pea.
In Thai, how you call?
Dok An Chan.
Yeah, it's a flower.
P-E-A, right?
Yeah, P-E-A.
No, I lied to you.
It's P-E-E.
Really good.
Wanna try honey lemon?
Sweet and sour.
They use real lemon, guys.
Now I'm energized.
I have more energy now.
Yeah, makes me wake up.
You guys, this is almost 1 p.m.
And still so busy in here.
And only Thai people.
No foreigners.
Only us.
What do we have here?
What do you call this?
In English?
Potato?
Famous Thai dessert.
So let's buy one.
This is one of my favorite dessert.
Me too.
So Emily has been living here for 10 years.
She knows what to do.
I'm guessing that you just have to put it in
like the coconut around it.
So that's one done.
This one here.
She's a natural.
She was born here in the past life.
So the white thing is red coconut.
And the yellow thing is what?
I think it's like glutinous rice.
It's not potato.
I think it is.
If I'm wrong, sorry.
What's it called in Thai?
Should we try?
20 baht.
So cheap.
Let's try.
Did you wash your hands?
Yesterday.
Cheers.
It's good.
It's very good.
It's a very good texture.
Not too chewy.
And smooth and soft like cushion.
And not too sweet either.
Light crunch from coconut.
Good for if you're old.
Can't eat too sweet.
If you have no teeth.
I can eat sweet.
Okay.
Highly recommend.
This is one of the desserts that I haven't shown you in the channel.
If you like it, I've tried it.
Let me know in the comments.
How many years has it been?
It's been more than 10 years.
Why did you choose to make dessert?
I like to sell Thai desserts.
I make Thai desserts at home.
How do you make it?
Do you make it yourself?
Yes, I make it myself.
Good sales.
Thank you.
If you're not from Thailand,
you probably know one type of banana.
Which is this one.
But in Thailand, we have many types.
Like this.
It means women's fingers.
Fingers.
And this is my favorite.
And I watched, you know, like there's a research in Thailand.
Thai people who's age over 100 years old,
they eat this type of banana every day.
This is a key to long life.
So keep in mind, if you like bananas,
try a different type as well here.
So in Lalai Sub,
as I mentioned,
they don't only sell food,
but they also sell fashion.
But they have, you know, like a small mall
that sells brand name stuff as well.
I think it's a mix of fake and real one.
You have to have knowledge to see the difference.
So it's a good place to escape the heat.
They sell proper clothes inside.
As you can see,
Emily and Jim is doing shopping still.
And we're not done yet.
Now we're heading to the dessert.
You full?
You full yet? Are you full?
I'm not.
So let's continue.
I make it myself.
No, no. I want bread.
I want a piece of bread.
Can I have a bowl?
Which one do you want?
This one.
Coconut milk, very soft.
How much?
This one, 500 baht.
Hey! Is it fake coconut?
No, no, no. Not fake.
500 baht, you okay?
Not okay.
Oh, okay. Not okay.
Yes, because you're beautiful.
How much?
50 baht.
50 baht, okay.
Ice cream, very soft.
How long have you been here?
About 5 minutes.
Can I eat this?
Can I have another one?
Yes, yes.
Because the customer is beautiful.
Very hot.
In Thailand, are you hot?
I'm from Thailand. I'm not hot.
Because I live here, but it's hot.
I don't know.
Delicious.
You know what in Thailand we call?
Sweet cutlet.
What is sweet cutlet?
What is it?
Sweet cutlet.
Oh, yes, yes.
If you eat too much, you'll get diabetes.
You have to be careful.
You can't eat too much.
Okay.
Just one bite, okay?
Just one bite.
Okay, okay. One more.
And then you bite.
Okay?
You haven't paid yet.
No, no, no.
So this coconut ice cream cost?
40 baht.
Very tasty.
And usually this type of ice cream
come on a trolley like that.
Yes.
And you guys probably have seen
the behind the scene with Emily.
Yes.
It was so much fun.
This is how creative we are.
Very, very creative.
And loud.
My ears are going to explode.
And Thai people are super nice
to just let you film.
Exactly.
We gave him a little tip as well
because I feel bad.
But very delicious.
Usually it comes with
sometimes they serve with bread
and then they put a sticker ice underneath
and then coconut ice cream.
But I think he ran out of everything.
Yeah, yeah.
Because this market closes at 2
and this is almost 2 already.
Getting less crowded.
All the office workers are back to work.
And what are we?
We are...
Jobless.
Unemployed.
Unemployed content creators.
Next we are ordering a dessert called
Kanom Koko.
Ba Bin.
Ba Bin means coconut cake.
Ba is crazy.
Bin means fly.
Bin means twisted.
Crazy and twisted.
Oh, really?
I didn't know that.
My favorite Thai dessert.
Opal is currently making it.
I didn't realize Opal also works as a chef as well.
I don't name Opal.
No.
What did you name her?
Tang Mo.
Only 40 baht.
Very super cheap.
Coconut dessert.
Very delicious.
My dessert is going to be burnt.
Thank you.
Oh, Tam.
Tam.
Tam dessert.
Coconut pancake.
It might be hot.
Chewy.
Crunchy.
Strong smell of burnt coconut.
This is one of my favorites that I've ever had.
This is a good one because it's crispy on the outside
but still moist on the inside.
Why?
For some places, it's just dry.
My name is Opal.
And this is my channel.
This is Katorn.
But in English, it's Katorn.
Okay?
Are you Opal?
Yes, I am.
Are you a YouTuber?
Yes, I am.
I'm a famous person.
Yes, I am.
Thank you.
What's your name?
Emily.
Very beautiful.
This is Katorn.
It's a fruit, right?
A type of Thai fruit.
And they top it with sweet sauce.
Sometimes you eat it with sour mango as well.
It's like sort of sour and sweet because of the sauce.
So yummy.
It tastes very meaty.
This one isn't as sour as normally actually.
Sometimes it can be even more sour than this.
Perfect.
So it only comes around the rainy season
which is in the middle of the year.
So if you're here around this time,
Katorn.
You can eat it alone without the sauce.
Wow, it's my first time.
And I'm not a fan of sour stuff.
So you like this one?
Yeah.
The sauce really helps.
Hey, it's Opal.
