Day 2 (Chanthaburi จันทบุรี)): Eastern Thailand Food and Travel Tour. Watch all 8 videos here:
Chanthaburi (จันทบุรี), Thailand and the entire eastern coast of Thailand are known for incredible seafood, and I was especially excited for this day, to meet Uncle Tom (ป้าหลุยลุงทอม), the Oyster King of Thailand!
Ban Ta Chaelab Pier (ท่าเรือบ้านท่าแฉลบ) - From Chanthaburi town, we drove to the pier to meet up with Uncle Tom who would pick us up in his boat. Uncle Tom is an amazing man, friendly and care, and he knows his seafood.
First, we took the boat to Uncle Tom’s oyster plot in the brackish open waters of the bay. He pulled out giant strands of oysters soaking in the salty water. It was pretty cool to see.
Then we headed over to Uncle Tom’s floating raft restaurant where his wife was already busy preparing a huge Thai seafood meal. She cooked half a dozen dishes, including the massive oysters. The food was awesome, the setting was perfect. This was one of the best experiences I had in Chanthaburi, Thailand!
Here are all the dishes we had:
Oysters (หอยนางรม)
Oyster omelet (ไข่เจียวหอยนางรม)
Tom yum goong (ต้มยำกุ้ง)
Sen Chan pad boo (เส้นจันท์ผัดปู)
Fried barramundi (ปลากระพงทอด)
Steamed crab (ปูม้านึ่ง)
Pla plaa (ปลาพล่า)
Squid (ปลาหมึกนึ่ง)
Price - 5,400 THB for 6 people

The day I see this man cry is when I know the world has officially gone to shits. This man always smiles
He only cries happy tears. 😂
No. Just take all his money. His smile will long gone
Yes
its becouse his smile alot..the you tube pay them to travel and eat for free..the more the travel the you tube pays more
Thats why I love him. He always smiles
The food isn't what kept me here. It's this guys positive attitude, its addicting
I stick for the food, I can’t stand the face he makes when he eats! 🤷🏻♀️
I agree! He has such a lovely personality!! He’s so sweet
He's a caricature
The attitude makes his eating appetising but i must say, his skill in taking those camera view of the food he eats 👍
He is so enthusiastic I appreciate that he explains the food.
I never taught watching someone eat would make me so happy I be smiling from the introduction to the end.
Thought
I can imagine having a nap after a nice meal of oyters with the smell of the salt water and the gentle rocking of the sea.
who else love's how freaking positive this guy is like he never stop smiling. like if you agree
Not gonna lie it’s starting to creep me out
It's a bit much if I'm being honest. But I like the content otherwise
So refreshing to watch someone that loves what he's doing and LOVES his family .
Some people are just easy to please. Maybe he's one of them. Just nice food. But he' good to watch cant deny that.
he is overreacting most of the time though. its pretty much the meta to get views these days.
ทุกครั้ง ที่ดูมาร์ค.. มันลำบาก น้ำลายไหล.. ทรมาร ทั้งจิตใจ.. อีกท้องไส้ ร้องทุกที..😆
I appreciate the way Mark Wiens really enjoys his food - not wasting one morsel of food. A true Foodie!
I remember watching this video as soon as it came out. Then I left for Asia to visit home in early july and did a trip to Thailand and had raw oysters and i remembered this video and put all the toppings on top and it was MARVELOUS
Jealoussssss
You are legend
Never thought that watching someone eat would bring me such happiness
Those are the biggest Oysters I’ve ever seen. What an amazing feast, Uncle Tom & his Wife laid on for you. Brilliant vlog Mark
Gulf oysters get that big, I think the bigger they get the quality goes down
When you grow your own oysters. They get as big as u want. Smart man an oyster farm. Yummy delicious
Mark have you ever thought of going to Guam
I had a soy sauce ginger cucumber oyster and was amazing
Hey, Mark. As usual, great content. It just comes to my mind that Micah is so lucky to have you and ying as parents. when he gets older, he can watch your vlog and reminiscing his childhood experience, traveling around and seeing his parent experiencing food around the world.. Say hi for Ying and Micah, may you guys stay safe during this pandemic
Wish they were my parents 😂
I would love to live on that dock and just eat fresh seafood for the rest of my life.
You would get tired of it
@@davidfahey5068 never shrimp,crabs and oyster is life
His smile is so addictive! I need to smile more like him!
No you don't, live in the real world. He's faking it for the views, personally, I find it offputting.
@@empirestr31 oh I must of stumbled into the "fake world" again... My fault 🤷 you must know everything about being off-putting... Maybe I should frown more like you, right? I'm pretty sure that'll make my life way better 😉 (Im smiling really big right now... Sorry)
@@hiennnshortaaay lol why?
Hien Ruiz Dammm 🔥 You got him good lmfaoo
I hope you're doing well and smiling a lot these days :)
I really love the way how you react to every time you try food. You look like a child whose mom cook a good meal to you. So genuine reaction.
Absolutely
Sike u weak af
Lol.. Genuine is the exact opposite of the manufactured reaction. It's exactly the same each time, not even close to natural.
@@PhiNguyen-vg2zo would be more suspicious if he had different reactions to what he would later describe as "tasty", same reaction means it's genuine. If you always laugh after hearing a good joke, then why wouldn't you have the same reaction after eating something delicious?
My bucket list is exactly what I just watched you do. I love seafood and I live far from the water. Someday I hope to have fresh seafood like this. Thank you for sharing your experience.
There are online places that will ship it on dry ice. Lobstergram or something like that
Mark Wiens, it's great to see your family accompany you. You still deliver your food shares perfectly! I am now wanting to try Thailand food restaurants. American side as I can't travel like you. But you and your family give the best experiences!!!
Who still watching back and back all the previous video's of mark
I watch
I am a souschef in the kitchen but wen i look his videos then i feel small
It's my hobby!!!!🤣🤣🤣
Me lmao 4 times now xD
Old Thai folks are always so loving and caring towards kids, even when it's not their own.. Towards the end, the uncle said "Do good in school okay son, and grow up well". :)
I have been a HUGE fan of Mark’s for years. He warms my heart and sparks my sense of adventure ! ❤️
Yum Yum Yum. Kippur is so yummy.
My favorite is when he takes a bite, giggles, and leans to the right. Hats off to living life to the fullest.
the way this man eats can make anyone hungry. he really loves his job.
It's too bad that you have to go through all the losers to reach the people who appreciate your enthusiasm and positivity. You have a great attitude towards life, a beautiful wife and adorable child, so maybe the haters are jealous. Your videos always put a smile on my face. My family loves your videos too! Thank you for sharing your travels with us. Food channel should sponsor you and film you! Have a awesome day!
get7025 everyone's entitled to their own opinion and comments whether you like it or NOT . only somebody ignorant would talk Negative and then say I love how positive you are😂😂😂😒😒
Nope...I stand by what I said. Haters will be haters. No excuse. If you don't have something nice to say...well....this guy is an incredible positive influence.
I just found this channel it's awesome!! How could anyone hate this? People get over yourself
So true!
Can I know where is Uncle Tom restaurant? Can give us the address ?
Mark, you humanize every place, every individual and you show so much grace in everything you do. The fact that you bring your family along makes every adventure something that anyone can picture doing. This world would be a so much better place if more folks followed your thoughtful and adventurous example. Now, on to the food!
You made me want to be there!!!😄🤗 Just love you and your family. Thank you for letting us see more of your wife and son. That food was to die for!!!
The best way to watch Mark's video 1. Make sure you just eat any kind of food 2. Bring some snack while you're watching 3. You can watch the video while you're in the meal time
Yes, I'm eating while watching. lol
Aldo Alucard but.. It makes me so i dont want my own food, and i get this feeling that his food is better🙄
OutRunHNS im always feel the same but i do that just to prevent my hunger
Don't matter if youre not hungry when watching his videos, you'd still b drooling.
I agree!
I'm jealous of people who always eat eat eat but can't be fat 😭😭😭
Like me😀😀😀😀
Relatable
Lol.. get a workout bro
Thats what am i saying, wtf dude why arent they gaining weight lol
Big black Hammar health is still ruined if you only eat eat and eat.
I discovered Mark Wiens about a month a ago and now i cant wait to get to work to binge watch all of his videos.. Saturday mornings while kids are still asleep with a cup of coffee also.. Its the purity for me...LOVE THIS GUY!
My mouth just watered when Mark ate the first oyster...
Mark, I am always amazed at the places that you go and all the great food you feast on but the best thing about you is your reaction and appreciation of everything these great countries you visit have to offer. You're so genuine and sincere and that is so refreshing to see in this world we live in today. I am married to a lovely Vietnamese lady and we visit Vietnam every year and we do a little feasting of our own. Southeast Asia has such a variety of food. Thank you for this excellent video and I hope you keep doing what you and your wife do so well and that is to make thoroughly informative and entertaining videos.
Mark, the oysters really made me cry because I can’t eat them now. The food is like heaven.
Aww the uncle are so sweet, he told Micah to grow up fast and wishes him well.
you know immediatly that its good as soon as he closes his eyes😂😂
Soares Muray 😂😂😂
😂
Fake
Soares Muray all the time hahahaha
HAHAHAHH
Thank you Ying for being in the camera a little more I love seeing you and Micah ...I wish I could travel with my little boy.. he's 3 years old😊 and Mark don't apologise for the big bites lol😂 you make my want to try those foods and I've only ever ate one oyster but that was years ago I don't remember how it was I think I'm gonna try them again!
Mark is such a neat eater,he doesn’t talk until he is about done eating!!
Wow, that seafood feast looks terrific! There's nothing like the texture of softshell crabs.
Uncle Tom is such a cool dude. I wanna go to his restaurant. Imagine eating oysters right near the source. It honestly cannot get better than that.
I love how happy mark is. What a dream job
This is not job bro
@@habibboss5558 he earn money from that.
tahjib habib it absolutely is his job
I love watching Mark and his wife KZhead videos. It’s fun traveling the world with them seeing different cultures, food etc. Yum 🤤 🥘 ☺️😋⛩🏖🌋⛲️🗽🗼🏰🥢🍽🧉🌮🦪🍲🥟🍱🍚🍤🍥🥠🥮🌶🥬🧄🥚🦐🦀🐟
The way he describes every food and his reaction just makes me taste the food also.
I love how excited and upbeat this guy is, I’m gonna aspire to be like him
Mark, you are one of the most friendly and approachable people I’ve ever not known LOL. Your smile lights up the world. Your smile is very trusting and it engenders strength and trust and reliance. I love watching your show. Of course I love all the food, but your spin on everything makes me keep coming back. Keep up the good work!
This woman knows how to cook. True not high standard luxury food grades but it’s the host warm, natural, serenity make this films worth of watch.
Where did you find this genuine couple…they are so wholesome in their personality…I wish this whole world of people is so heartwarming and compassionate as Uncle Tom and his wife🥰🥰🥰💝💝
Take that giant bite Mark!!! Never apologize for being you! I’m not an oyster fan, but that omelette looked amazing! What an awesome experience! I’m enjoying this series of vlogs! I purchased some Doi Chaang coffee beans per your recommendation! Can’t wait to try that first sip of coffee....
Oysters only great if you can get them fresh harvested.
Complaining about his giant bites? Wow, people complain about everything lol.
Thank you for your amazing support Elizabeth!
*Elizabeth Hahn* I
@@MarkWiens what was that herb you said you ate after ur last oyster gat wat ?
The floating bamboo restaurant is really like being a king in a small island and having all natural wonders from heaven with the family. The crab is really a kickback dish slowing taking the meat out and enjoy it all on the water with sea breeze.
I love that you keep the Thai in there! It’s so nice to not have horrible subtitles that are wrong half the time distracting me! So nice for a bilingual Thai/English!
Happiest man alive!!! I definitely want to be around positivity and genuine happiness like this!!!!
There's so much more to Thailand other than "PHUKET" "PATTAYA" & "BANGKOK", you are doing great work buddy @Mark Wiens! Thanks for showing a different side of Thailand.
Vigeeth Nair and CHIANGMAI
Just MAGNIFICENT!The sea must be pristine. A real entry to the beautiful people of Thailand.
Maria das Santos ขอบคุณค่ะ ( thank you)
cultured
Thank you, Maria.
I love oysters with my entire being. These are larger than I’ve ever seen. Thank you Mark
Watching this while suffer from gout, really motivated me to stay healthy then chasing the good foods
ผมตามไปกินร้านที่พี่ไปกินมาหลายร้านเเล้วครับ ผมเป็นคนไทย ขอบคุณพี่ที่ทำให้ฝรั่งรู้จักอาหารที่ดีที่สุดในโลกของเมืองไทยครับ ผมบอกได้เลยว่าใครก็ตามที่กินอาหารไทยต้องคิดถึงรสชาตินี้ เเล้วกลับมากินอีก
Wutthinun Luenglertwanchai สุดยอดครับผมต้องตามไปกินสะแล้วว55
เราคนจันยังไม่เคยได้ไปกินเลย 😅😂
พอทราบมั้ยคะว่าร้านที่เค้าไปนี้ ชื่ออะไรคะ ว่าจะไปตามค่ะ
Ploypapas labthipphamon เราพึ่งเสิร์ชตะกี้เลยค่ะ น่าจะชื่อ ป้าหลุยลุงทม โฮมสเตย์ค่ะ ตอนแรกคิดว่าชื่อร้านลุงทอม
chimchim ขอบคุณนะค้าา^^
He is always smiling and that's so precious.
Remarkable adventure in food/culture. Uncle Tom, Lum Tom, and Micah. Beautiful video, Mark! Thank you!
Mark, Family, and friends love what you do and show the world that every cuisines are great and we all just have to try it to find out for ourselves. You can’t make a blog and video without happiness. 👍👍
The way he gets so excited to taste the food everytime makes me really happy!!!😊
Wow I'm so hungry ,and I'm going to Thailand too because I have a competition of robotics please thumbs up for luck!
good luck!
bring me some back!!
Welcome to Thailand!
I ask myself every day same questions
Dont worry you already lose
I absolutely love this guy I pray God blesses him a million times
That was awesome! Your videos are always so awesome. I've never been to Asia but I sure as hell want to go there for the food.
I love his enthusiasm ! He has such a sweet disposition... I love that his wife and child are with him... He's so wonderful to watch.. I'm hungry
i truly admire how you maintained your figure with all those rich foods you are consuming!amazinggggg metabolism you have!
Mark is the #1 reason I wanna eat my way through Thailand 🥲
Love it. The food looks delicious. Love how mark was explaining how the oyster was huge and said sorry than explaining again than his like ok let me be quiet and just eat it 😆
God Bless You and Your Family Brother..Im Mexican American and I Love the Humbleness...Huncle Tom's Cooking..It Would Be a Dream To Truly Go There..Thanks For Shareing and Allowing us To Know Fine People Throughout the World.👏👏👌
Mark, you are a very good ambassador for good food. I love the ultimate freshness of oysters and other goodness of this unique restaurant.
Khawaja Ramzee never did I see any restaurant thing here sir
This is the reason, it is unique, it never looks like a restaurant bur more like a home cooked place, but I believe that they must be charging for all the food and boat tour. May be a new concept or a new restaurant in making.
Khawaja Ramzee I should appreciate Your perception on food.
Thank you Khawaja!
You should come to Denmark, you can eat as many as you want for free haha. The seas are clean and oysters fresh. Picking oysters in the west coast of Denmark is as easy as picking apples. I've made a short silly documentary about this :)
Those are most plump fresh and I am sure delicious oysters ever. I’ve seen palm sized ones, but I can tell just by looking at these -that they were oceany fresh/tasting.
Hi Mark, love everything you do , thank you for sharing all the adventure. Muchblive and blessings to you and your family
Man just came across your videos can’t stop watching them, you are very passionate about the food and culture. Awesome to see you travel with your family. Very cool, thank you sir. P.S. your facial expressions are fine they are yours, that’s what makes us unique and special in our own way!
Thanks Mark for sharing such great videos. I'm always hooked for wednesdays and sundays. Seeing you with your family is always a pleasure. Lots of love for Micah!
Omgoodness! This is my fav video so far. Those are the biggest oysters I’ve ever seen and that omelet has me drooling 🤤 🥰 Yum! 😋😍
He has such a great attitude and speaks well of everyone wish you the best and many blessings to your family from my home to yours😌🙂
Another great video, Mark (editing and footage is worthy of a network tv show)! So happy to see the Mark Wiens overjoyed head tilt again! All the best to you, Ying, and Micah!
Usually see that when water based protein is involved, especially crustaceans and shell fish.
it's awesome
Happy to see you Mr.mark with your family.... may GOD bless you Nd ur family abundantly
I wanna see them collab with Sas! 😍 such good food! Makes me wanna go to Thailand 😭 much love from the Philippines!!
Hi Mark! What a wonderful video. Nice to see how your son MIca has grown! What an amazing life he is being introduced to. I have never seen such large oysters, and interesting that you describe them as creamy and not so salty. The invading oysters to North Wales (where I live) seem to be very salty. Properly cooked squid should be have just the touch of texture and not be 'chewey'. Most people overcook squid. It seems that your host had it right. I wish we knew how to make that seafood sauce.
when i saw my piece of pizza in my hand while watching your video, I really wanna cry...
Lucky
When I saw my hand empty with no food while I was reading your comment, I really wanna cry...
Lol
Wang Willy Italian fellas
At least you were eating pizza I was eating cereal😂
That huge deliciously built gigantic oyster bite is about the best thing I've ever seen!
That floating restaurant is mvp such a good place to eat and very generous for giving food shoutout to uncle tom and his wife!
Out of the hundreds of videos I've watched Mark. This is my favourite.
Those giant oysters! God my mouth is watering right now! You're such a lucky man Mark!
First time i ever saw ying take the photos of the food .ying blushing ❤
Out of all your videos, this is my favorite!! Blessings to you and your family!
Mine too!!
What a beautiful heavenly treat on earth! 🙏🏻😍❤
Love how Ying always does her ✌ sign when caught on 📷
Oh wow...... what a Paradise.... Thailand has it all....... Mark you presented again an amazing Food-Video.... everything seems so peaceful and happy...... and the colorful fresh prepared seefood..... someone can feel the taste on his tongue seeing you eating...... I just want to let you know how I enjoyed the Video.
Make another video of you coming here! Please take us back! I can't travel because I'm taking care of my sick mom but your videos make me feel like I'm there with you. God bless brother. Safe journey
You nailed the art of Thai oyster eating.
Hi Mark. Hi from Australia. I have been following your travels, especially your tips to Japan and Sri Lanka which I found fascinating. I wish I have been with you on this trip to Thailand as I am a seafood tragic and could not help salivating watching you hopping into that wonderful food. I did try the crab curries in Sri Lanka back in 1960 when it was known as Ceylon. My dad was stationed there for a couple of years and boy; were those crab and prawn curries pure paradise. Love your blogs mate. Keep up the great work.
Mark bought safety jacket for Micah, he is a good father, after years of watching his videos , apart from wonderful places and amazing food he had shown , i can tell that Mark Wien is a good father , good husband, good son and a good son in law. Friendly to all , always put on a smile , should aliens come to earth , or we going inter galaxies travel we ought to appoint Mark Wien as Earth’s Ambassador.
Nahhhh. He will tell them where the best food is, and they will take it all! 😂
Yeah he would be able to eat all the space cuisine
Haha the moment he closed his eyes and swallow food makes me hungry 😅. Seems that everything he eat are so deliciousssssss
I don't think I have ever watched a video that I didn't like. Thank you always for the awesome content Mark!
Your verbal description is so terrific! Thank you I am blind so I am so apriciative.
Leah Johnson how did you write this comment if your blind?
Electro_Yellow You really have no idea, either he/she is faking or using a Braille Keyboard. When some people are blind, it doesnt mean they are in the pitch black but more of their vision is limited.
She could’ve used the microphone to speak in
Then how do you find a computer and log in and go to youtube and learn to type and type it all in and then hit the reply button?
Yall remmber he/she said was blind soooo im sure she/he wont be able to read the comments
I have honestly never been so jealous of anyone as I am of you right now. 😩 Mark I'm new to your channel and im glad I found it!
This is one of my all time favorite vid… I absolutely love oysters 🦪🤤
So blessed to travel the world and eat lol you go boiii!!! Love your love and enthusiasm for life travel and food.
I have never understood how there would be 👎 on your videos. I can only surmise that they are vegan or from PITA. Mark you do such a fantastic job showcasing cultural diversity and always leave me wanting to try things I normally shy away from.
twochunkydivas I'm vegan or plant based and still watch every video and always give a thumbs up. I couldn't stop watching his videos if I tried.
😂😂yeah I wonder that too..is it that its too short that those thumb down people do not like that 🤔🤔🤔
twochunkydivas Plants are living things too so you can’t really be a vegan
Is for the weird face he makes everytime he bites something
been watching marks vids for yrs - he eats a lot of veggies. i think the thumbs down are people triggered by the things he is doing like not using his personal plate and being messy and a bit indulgent in the feast.,
Every time I watch mark eat, I feel like a grandma who has just fed her grandchildren the best feast, accomplished life and can now Rest peacefully in heaven.
That is a totally Awesome 👍😊👌 Seafood Video 👍 Thanks for sharing!
I have watched this one numerous times and it never fails to make me soo hungry!!!
What a great day! Simple, sweet, and delicious. It's nice to see you all so relaxed, and conversing with sweet, gentle people. Beautiful video, Mark!
