- My plate of hoy tod is coming along,
and she just added the egg, and I love,
she cracked on the egg, and then she chucks the eggshell
into the bucket of eggshells, expertly.
Oh, that's a beautiful thing.
(cheerful instrumental music)
Good morning everyone, it's Mark Wiens
with Migrationology.com in Bangkok, Thailand.
There are many different floating markets
that you can visit when you come to Bangkok,
and there are a couple right within Bangkok,
I really recommend Khlong Lat Mayom, by the way,
and then there are also some really famous floating markets
about an hour and a 1/2 outside of Bangkok,
in a province called Samut Songkhram,
and some of the really famous floating markets
like Damnoen Saduak, and Amphawa floating markets
are all located there.
But today, my wife and my sister and my mom,
and our kids, a couple of our kids,
we are gonna go on a day trip to Samut Songkhram,
and hopefully go to a couple of kinda more lesser known
floating markets, so stay tuned for this video,
some lesser known floating markets and some delicious food
coming up.
Are you ready for another road trip, Mika?
(woman singing lullaby)
According to Google Maps, it's 86 kilometers
from where we're leaving, and we're in the Bangna area
of Bangkok, and it's gonna take an hour and 36 minutes
to drive there.
(cheerful instrumental music)
You know when you're in the countryside
when the dog just lounges in the middle of the road
and you have to go around him.
We are following Google Maps, and we're now
on this small little jungle road, and I'm loving it.
Oh, this is such a beautiful province,
I love being around these areas.
Achoo!
We made it, this market is called Talat Nam Tha Kha,
and the literal translation, talat is market
and then nam is water, so it's a water market,
and I'm already loving the simple,
kinda slow feel of this market.
When you arrive to this market, you walk through
this little entrance section which is covered,
and there's some souvenir shops, and then immediately,
you get to the floating market section,
it has such a quiet, peaceful, nice feel to it,
there are plenty of boat vendors,
some of which are selling ready-to-eat things,
and then some people who are selling
a variety of different ingredients, lots of bananas,
some onions and some garlic and shallots,
and then produce from their gardens,
probably right from their gardens right at home,
and they just load everything up onto their boat
and then come to the market to sell.
But what I really like is how small,
and how friendly it is so far, and I just,
actually, I haven't really walked around much yet,
but I just came into the market,
walked up this little bridge so I can just
kinda get a birds' eye view of Tha Kha floating market.
(woman speaking in foreign language)
So far, the ladies selling things at this market
are all very friendly, and they all wanna see Mika.
Looks like they're buying something here.
- Popiah! - Popiah.
My sister Anyin just got some fresh spring rolls,
and they are really hot and fresh, fried fresh.
Mm!
Oh yeah!
Filled with mung mee noodles, and maybe carrots.
Mm, they're good.
Nice and hot still.
(baby wailing)
As you're walking along the edge of the water on the market,
they have these coconuts set up
where you can massage your feet.
Kinda go like this, it kinda hurts!
Am I doing it, (speaks in foreign language).
(speaks in foreign language)
It's coconut sugar.
(woman speaking in foreign language)
You can smell it, you can smell it.
- [Anyin] It's supposed to be better, so I use that
instead of regular sugar.
- There's a lot of good produce at this market,
and also, you can buy fresh coconut sugar,
and coconut syrup, and lots and lots of bananas
and coconuts.
Hoy tod.
Yeah.
(woman speaking in foreign language)
I am squatting down here on a floating raft,
and I just ordered something called hoy tod,
which is fried oysters with egg,
and this is a beautiful stall,
it is an amazing grandmother who is cooking up,
and she is using charcoal on a hot plate,
and adding in the batter, the oysters, and then egg.
Oh, and it's just going up in a cloud of beautiful smoke.
My plate of hoy tod is coming along,
and she just added the egg, and I love,
she cracked on the egg, and then she chucks the eggshell
into the bucket of eggshells, expertly.
Oh, that's a beautiful thing.
Oh, I think that's some lard going in.
(woman speaking in foreign language)
There are bean sprouts in it, there's egg,
there's the rice flour batter, as well as oysters,
I asked her, they are oysters,
and then also bean sprouts and cilantro,
and then after it was finished,
she dished it onto a plate, added some cilantro
and then some pepper.
And I'm sitting down here with my mom to eat.
Oh yeah.
It's good.
Oh, the fresh, crisp bean sprouts, the oyster in there,
and then like the gooey batter flour.
As we were sitting eating that oyster omelet,
I could smell the smoke coming down the canal
from the grilling skewers of gai ping and maybe moo ping,
I'm not sure, I think she mostly has chicken,
but that sounds delicious right now,
grilled meat on skewer.
(woman speaking in foreign language)
Okay, how many skewers would you like, ma?
- [Mom] One or two.
(woman speaking in foreign language)
- [Mom] Sticky rice.
(Mark speaking in foreign language)
- We got a full baggy of grilled chicken, and also tab,
which is liver, and liver's one of my favorites.
Oh yeah.
So creamy, and then it has a marinade on it,
so it's a little bit sweet and a little bit salty
at the same time, but with a really good,
smoky flavor to it.
(cheerful instrumental music)
Oh, thank you!
I stopped to buy some starfruit,
starfruit is an excellent fruit,
not only does it look cool, but it tastes incredibly good,
so every opportunity I have for starfruit, I go for it.
Mm!
It is so juicy!
Oh, that's just an entire mouthful of starfruit juice.
Oh, that's delicious, and it's sweet and sour.
The next snack that we got is called toong tong,
and the literal translation is a golden little bag,
or little pocket pouch, and it's a little wrapper,
which is wrapped really nicely,
and I think they had a minced pork version as well,
but we got the one filled with corn and then deep-fried,
and this is a little one-bite little gift,
and you can see on the top, on the top it's very crispy,
and then on the bottom is the pouch
where it's wrapped up with the filling.
Mm!
Oh yeah.
That's like a spring roll in different shape.
That's fantastic.
Oh, that is tasty.
- Surprisingly good!
- [Mark] It's more tasty than I thought it was gonna be.
- Yeah, that's what I'm saying, like it was really good!
- Ying is having a bowl of kway chap nankon,
which are the rice noodle rolls,
in like a braised soup, and I'm having just ba mee,
which are the egg noodles, with pork,
and there's some pork meatballs, I think in there,
and also some daikon, I think it's daikon radish,
which is also within the soup broth.
Let me get a bite with some pork and with some noodles,
there are also a lot of bean sprouts in here as well.
Mm!
Some good black pepper in there, or maybe white pepper,
but that's just a simple, classic bowl of Thai noodles.
Pork noodles.
(cheerful instrumental music)
(woman speaking in foreign language)
I'm watching them make something
which is called khao tom mad, which is rice,
sticky rice mixed in a mixture,
I think with coconut milk, and then
they add in a banana and wrap it in a banana leaf,
and then it's steamed, and it's a very popular Thai snack,
but she was telling me that it's a bolan version,
it's a traditional version.
Very cool to watch them make it.
Oh, okay.
So this is the sticky rice mixture
that includes sugar and coconut milk.
(speaking in foreign language)
They are making the khao tom mad
over a little bit down there, overlooking the canal,
and then they're selling them right here,
so I just got some of the khao tom mad
that they're making freshly right now.
They're wrapped in doubles, and you unravel that,
and then you got two banana leaf-wrapped packets.
Oh, and you can feel that stickiness already
from that coconut milk and that sugar in there.
Oh, and what I love about things
that are cooked in banana leaf
is you can immediately smell the aroma,
that banana leaf, it has such a wonderful aroma.
The sticky rice just sorta melts
into that coconut milk and the banana.
Really gooey, sticky rice, and then just
with a sweet and tart banana on the inside.
This is one of my favorite Thai traditional desserts.
You can really taste that banana leaf,
which the steam embedded into it.
We spent about two hours walking around this market
and eating and relaxing, this is a fantastic
little floating market, and I love how it's so quiet
and peaceful and very, very friendly.
They also offer boat rides, which would look really,
really nice, but with the babies,
I think we're gonna skip the boat ride,
although if you come here, I think I would highly recommend
the opportunity to take a boat through these canals
and just relax, that looks really fun.
And from here, we're gonna go see another floating market,
which is not too far away.
Yeah, there's another floating market about,
it said about 15 minutes away that I wanna check out,
so we'll just stop by there for a little bit
and see how it is.
(cheerful instrumental music)
That was an absolutely beautiful drive
through the coconut trees to get here,
and that was about a 15 minute drive,
and this is called Talat Nam Bang Noi,
and it is right on the edge of the Mekong River,
I can see it right up here.
(jazzy folk music) Oh man, at first I thought
that was a CD playing, that's a live band!
Fantastic!
I gotta give it up to the live music,
that is a highlight of visiting this market.
This is a really relaxed floating market as well,
but it's right along the Mekong River,
which is a huge river, and then kind of
right in the parking lot on the side of the temple,
so it's almost like a community,
it almost has a community center feel to it.
The girls and the babies are walking around
the market shopping.
This is a good shopping market,
especially for little Thai things and souvenirs,
and so I have taken this opportunity to sit on the bench
near the water and eat some mulberries,
and mulberries are, I think they're popular
to eat at this market, they're kinda famous
to eat at this market, and I like how
she has made a mulberry, a little basket
to hold the mulberries in, and then
put the mulberries inside, and then she put it
in a plastic bag, too.
Oh yeah!
Mm!
Oh, that gives you an immediately burst of sourness,
before any sweetness.
Mm!
Those are really good.
(woman speaking in foreign language)
Mika!
We're walking around the market,
and we came back to the car to feed Mika,
and also, we're eating some snacks, so I'm gonna try.
This one is khanom gluay, it's a banana
grilled in a banana leaf, long and skinny.
Let me break it in half, oh, very sticky.
Loo at that, oh, it's hot, right off the grill.
Mm!
Yeah, it's really good.
It's nice, you can taste the banana like,
tastes like a dried banana with coconut,
and then it has like a, it's almost like caramelized
on the outside.
Oh, Mika!
What I really enjoyed today was visiting
Talat Nam Tha Kha, that was the highlight of today.
It's about an hour and a 1/2 outside of central Bangkok,
and it's definitely worth the trip,
that's one of the best floating markets in Thailand
that I've been to, I just enjoyed the whole atmosphere
of the market, and then we just kinda stopped here
just because we were in the area,
and those mulberries were delicious.
I'm gonna end this video now, it's been a,
yeah, just a great Bangkok day trip,
and good to get out of Bangkok for a little bit,
and I really love this Samut Songkhram Province
in Thailand, and the relaxing markets,
and the whole feel of the entire province,
this entire area.
