I was in Chiang Mai for 2 weeks. Went to the mall everyday for my meals. Love the food there. They make it when you order. Buying a card and paying using the card makes it easier.

That tuk tuk driver ripped you off like crazy hahaha. Also you should use a translator app it'll be much easier to communicate.

The first stop was at Khao Soi Maesai, rated one of the top khao soi shops in town. Naturally everyone has their own favorite here but you can only find yours by trying many khao soi shops and that's part of the fun! 😋

For Khao Man Gai, the highlight is the dipping sauce. Without it, the only flavors you'll taste are the oily rice and the boiled chicken. As for Boat Noodles, what makes their rich flavor unique compared to other noodle dishes is the dark-colored broth. And you should know that the broth is made from blood, but that's something everyone who tastes it seems to like. But you have to try it to know for sure. The reason it's called "boat noodles" is because, in ancient times, this type of noodle was sold from rowing boats. In ancient times, since the old kingdoms, water travel was the primary mode of transportation. All markets were floating markets. The first land-based market was Nang Leong Market in Bangkok, which has only been around for less than 150 years. Boat noodles are served in small bowls.😂

You guys need to learn the basic words of every country you travel to. That’s what we do and you have to rub shoulders with the locals that’s the best experiences. Leaving CA for Chiang Mai tomorrow. Can’t wait. Keep getting them stalmps! ✈️✊🏾

I’m from Chiang mai but now live in New york. You guys make me thinking about going back to my hometown. Love the food 👍

Before eating any single dish food that you never have eaten , you should ask the way to eat first. Eating without properly way will keeps you away from truly testing its deliciousness. The dark sauce in the small cup is the key component that brings out the delicious flavor of the chicken rice.

You both have such positive facial reactions when eating, and that really appeals to Thai viewers. Please keep making this kind of content , I’m sure your channel will become very popular :washhands:

This was so fun to watch. I can't help but to girl fan Anna, she is so pretty. When she said her make up is melting , I was like girl!... you have make-up on? It looks so natural.

Made my Saturday...I was in South East Asia 2 weeks ago and you guys popped on my feed. Been following you guys ever since (watched every video) Love you guys. Much love for your Jamaican brother living in Atlanta, Georgia area

Very fun video, kids. It’s wonderful to observe two open-minded American budding foodies tasting the delights of khao soi and boat noodles for the first time! My wife and will be visiting Chiang Mai in December, and maybe we should follow a similar plan to explore new items. But we’re 60 and lack your youthful energy haha, and we also can’t eat seven dishes in one day anymore.
