<h1>Khanom Jeen Nam Ya Pa (ขนมจีนน้ำยาป่า)</h1>
<p>One of the greatest areas of <a title="Thai dishes" href="http://migrationology.com/2010/03/100-best-thai-dishes-to-eat-in-bangkok-ultimate-eating-guide/" target="_blank">Thai cuisine</a> is the soft fresh rice noodles known as <em>khanom jeen</em>.</p>
<p>While there are a variety of curries that accompany any plate of the noodles, nam ya pa, or <a title="Thai jungle curry" href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2012/12/thai-jungle-curry/" target="_blank">jungle curry</a>, is one of my favorites. The curry sauce is a spicy blend that never fails to thrill the taste buds.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Well, well.</p>
<p>Look who made it to day 4, huh?</p>
<p>I gotta admit, I didn&#8217;t think you were going to be able to keep up.</p>
<p>I bet you expect some prize for hanging out with me this long, right?</p>
<p><strong>Well, you got it.</strong></p>
<p>Two new restaurants, and they&#8217;re opposite styles similar to <a title="Bkkfatty Diary Day 3: Old Fashioned Yong Lee and Crave’s Futuristic Wine Buffet" href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2012/05/bkkfatty-diary-day-3-old-fashioned-yong-lee-and-craves-futuristic-wine-buffet/" target="_blank">yesterday&#8217;s time traveling adventure</a>.</p>
<p>One brand spanking new, the other could collapse at any minute.</p>
<h1>Stop 1: New Bkkfatty Facebook Page</h1>
<p>But before I forget, here&#8217;s  a new facebook page for you. As you see we like to eat more than Thai food and there may be some bacon related things on the new page haha. Most importantly we want to interact with you there, so we&#8217;ll be posting your twitter photos and maybe even doing some small events in the future.</p>
<p>Go be a part of the first crew to <a title="LIKE our new Bkkfatty page" href="https://www.facebook.com/bkkfatty" target="_blank">LIKE our new Bkkfatty page</a>!</p>
<h1>Stop 2: The Local by Oam Thong Thai Cuisine&#8217;s Tasting Museum on Sukhumvit 23</h1>
<div id="attachment_5785" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 478px"> 
    <a href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/photo-222.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5785" title="The Local" src="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/photo-222-e1337194082154.jpg" alt="photo 222 e1337194082154 Bkkfatty Diary Day 4: The Local, Bangkoks Food Museum and Sri Nuans Thaidashian Sisters" width="478" height="640" /></a> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">The Local: Thai Food Museum or Restaurant?</p>
</div>
<p>&#8220;The Local&#8221; is kind of an odd name, but what you need to know is this is pretty much a living, tasting museum. The owners of the restaurant have done everything the could to evoke the past both with the decor and the food.</p>
<p>Even though they&#8217;re still in their soft opening phase, lunch time can be quite busy. I recommend you book ahead and if you have a group then try and get into one of their uniquely decorated VIP rooms.</p>
<div id="attachment_5781" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <a href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/photo-193.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5781" title="Floating Market Themed Vip Room" src="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/photo-193.jpg" alt="photo 193 Bkkfatty Diary Day 4: The Local, Bangkoks Food Museum and Sri Nuans Thaidashian Sisters" width="640" height="478" /></a> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Floating Market Themed Vip Room at The Local by Oam Thong Thai Cuisine</p>
</div>
<p>In the VIP room, feeling VIP and all super fancy until I just about drooled all over the menu. Thank God for those cloth napkins they keep nearby.</p>
<p>The menu has some ancient recipes, some restored from Thailand&#8217;s archives. There are familiar items on the menu, but I could tell pretty quickly that The Local is best enjoyed by people who really love and know Thai food already. This is a place which will most likely be very popular with Thais, but I&#8217;m not sure how people new to Thailand and Thai food&#8217;s complexity will like the food. The servers will have to be very good at introducing and explaining the recipes which each seem to have an interesting story behind them.</p>
<div id="attachment_5782" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <a href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/photo-212.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5782" title="Complimentary watermelon appeti-teaser" src="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/photo-212.jpg" alt="photo 212 Bkkfatty Diary Day 4: The Local, Bangkoks Food Museum and Sri Nuans Thaidashian Sisters" width="640" height="478" /></a> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Complimentary watermelon appeti-teaser แตงโมปลาแห้ง</p>
</div>
<p>First out the door was a complimentary appeti-teaser with watermelon lightly flavored with a mixture made of salt, sugar, onions, dried fish and more (แตงโมปลาแห้ง).</p>
<p>Honestly if you&#8217;re new to Thai food, I have a feeling you&#8217;ll think this is bizarre. But this type of appetizer dates back to pre-air conditioned Thailand and is meant to both cool you off and prepare the palate for the coming dinner. Which is exactly what it did for the coming lemongrass salad with wild betal leaves (ยำตะไคร้สามเกลอใต้). Many of the flavors that were subtle on the watermelon, came full force in the salad.</p>
<div id="attachment_5784" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <a href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/photo-20-01-34-14-175.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5784" title="photo (20) 01-34-14-175" src="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/photo-20-01-34-14-175.jpg" alt="photo 20 01 34 14 175 Bkkfatty Diary Day 4: The Local, Bangkoks Food Museum and Sri Nuans Thaidashian Sisters" width="640" height="478" /></a> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Lemongrass salad with wild betal leaves ยำตะไคร้สามเกลอใต้ at The Local by Oam Thong</p>
</div>
<p>I loved this dish and had to actually have the waitress to bring more betal leaves because I ran out. When I come back, I&#8217;m definitely having this salad again and I recommend it to you to get things started.</p>
<div id="attachment_5786" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <a href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/photo-194.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5786" title="Thai Southern style curry" src="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/photo-194.jpg" alt="photo 194 Bkkfatty Diary Day 4: The Local, Bangkoks Food Museum and Sri Nuans Thaidashian Sisters" width="640" height="478" /></a> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">My first time to try this Thai Southern style curry แกงรัญจวน</p>
</div>
<p>Next we had a curry the waitress recommended and seemed to get my Thai friends excited when she suggested this dish. The curry was slight soupy (not nearly like yesterday&#8217;s episode) and in the center was a pile of tender, thinly sliced beef.</p>
<div id="attachment_5787" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <a href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/photo-202.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5787" title="Three Flavors Fish" src="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/photo-202.jpg" alt="photo 202 Bkkfatty Diary Day 4: The Local, Bangkoks Food Museum and Sri Nuans Thaidashian Sisters" width="640" height="478" /></a> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Scarily Beautiful Three Flavors Fish at The Local เนื้อปลาสามรส</p>
</div>
<p>We would have fought over the curry, had not this fish been served shortly after. Now, if you&#8217;re not too familiar with Thai food, this is the first dish you may recognize, called three flavors fish (เนื้อปลาสามรส). I&#8217;ve had so many interpretations of this dish, but this by far was the best. At The Local, it&#8217;s presented using the fish carcass as decoration, with all the meat the fish on the side in the sticky, tangy sauce.</p>
<div id="attachment_5790" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <a href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/cream.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5790" title="cream" src="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/cream.jpg" alt="cream Bkkfatty Diary Day 4: The Local, Bangkoks Food Museum and Sri Nuans Thaidashian Sisters" width="640" height="478" /></a> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Train of homemade Thai style ice cream scoops.</p>
</div>
<p>Last but not least! An ice cream platter which is a three scoop train of mango, coconut, and Thai tea ice cream with a tamarind stick, cantaloupe and sticky rice! Good thing I brought back up!</p>
<p>Honestly, I will have to go back the Local to try more of their food. Most of the dishes, save the fish, were on the exotic side because it was exciting to try and taste them.</p>
<p>Everything was good, but some of the dishes like the fish and the lemongrass salad overshadowed the others. While it was more expensive than most of my Thai meals at about $40 (1,300 THB) for three dishes and a dessert, it was worth it and I&#8217;ll be back with some other curious foodies in tow next time. It&#8217;s located on Sukhumvit 23, see the map below.</p>
<h1>Stop 3: Sri Nuan Everything Stall, Starring the Thaidashian Sisters</h1>
<p>Late night was supposed to be a street food tour down Rama 4 road, but the rain meant I had to stay near home. That&#8217;s no problem because there&#8217;s a special place I love for great, cheap food called Sri Nuan ศรีนวล ตามสั่ง which is a short walk from my house.</p>
<div id="attachment_5792" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <a href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/thaidashian.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5792" title="thaidashian" src="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/thaidashian.jpg" alt="thaidashian Bkkfatty Diary Day 4: The Local, Bangkoks Food Museum and Sri Nuans Thaidashian Sisters" width="640" height="478" /></a> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">The Thaidashians and their everything stall at Sri Nuan ศรีนวล ตามสั่ง</p>
</div>
<p>Unlike The Local, Sri Nuan&#8217;s not that pretty to look at. The same is true of the food. But as is usually the case, what this &#8220;Everything-Stall&#8221; lacks in eye candy, it makes up for in character, taste and price.</p>
<p>For starters there&#8217;s twin sisters and a helper that are really bubbly and excited about making me try EVERYTHING. I refer to them secretly as the Thaidashian sisters because I&#8217;m pretty sure they could talk me into eating anything they make.</p>
<div id="attachment_5793" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 478px"> 
    <a href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/chickengirl.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5793" title="chickengirl" src="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/chickengirl-e1337221288191.jpg" alt="chickengirl e1337221288191 Bkkfatty Diary Day 4: The Local, Bangkoks Food Museum and Sri Nuans Thaidashian Sisters" width="478" height="640" /></a> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">A Thaidashian girl with great thighs!</p>
</div>
<p>At the top of that list is their grilled chicken, which I like to have them put in their made to order dishes.</p>
<p>I call it an everything stall because they&#8217;re catering to so many tastes all at once. There&#8217;s Northeastern Thai food, Southern Thai food, and plenty of made to order items.</p>
<div id="attachment_5794" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <a href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/tokillfor.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5794" title="tokillfor" src="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/tokillfor.jpg" alt="tokillfor Bkkfatty Diary Day 4: The Local, Bangkoks Food Museum and Sri Nuans Thaidashian Sisters" width="640" height="478" /></a> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">This is the type of food that starts wars. ไก่ย่าง</p>
</div>
<p>The flavors are strong and unadulterated. But everything else I&#8217;m about to show you is <strong>ugly AND delicious</strong>. Keep an open mind fatties, you&#8217;re in the advanced class now!</p>
<div id="attachment_5795" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <a href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/vomit.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5795" title="vomit" src="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/vomit.jpg" alt="vomit Bkkfatty Diary Day 4: The Local, Bangkoks Food Museum and Sri Nuans Thaidashian Sisters" width="640" height="478" /></a> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Tastiest vomit ever! You&#39;ve gotta try! น้ำพริกปลาย่าง</p>
</div>
<p>First up the vomity dish known as &#8220;nam prik bla yang&#8221; which is a sauce with grilled fish and Thai&#8217;s favorite strong sauces (which includes a dump truck of chilies). You eat this with a ton of veggies because it&#8217;s so spicy. So I tried to dress it up and make it look better, so you&#8217;ll know what to eat it with.</p>
<div id="attachment_5796" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <a href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/dressedup.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5796" title="dressedup" src="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/dressedup.jpg" alt="dressedup Bkkfatty Diary Day 4: The Local, Bangkoks Food Museum and Sri Nuans Thaidashian Sisters" width="640" height="478" /></a> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">All dressed up, would you feast with me now? น้ำพริกปลาย่าง</p>
</div>
<p>Any better?</p>
<p>Nah, didn&#8217;t think so. But it&#8217;s still a must try.</p>
<p>Sigh. Ok, only one more ugly dish for you. We&#8217;ll have to revisit this place when your heart&#8217;s a little stronger.</p>
<div id="attachment_5797" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <a href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/kaipaloe.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5797" title="kaipaloe" src="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/kaipaloe.jpg" alt="kaipaloe Bkkfatty Diary Day 4: The Local, Bangkoks Food Museum and Sri Nuans Thaidashian Sisters" width="640" height="478" /></a> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Ooh look, there&#39;s eggs and pork in this sewer water! ไข่พะโล้</p>
</div>
<p>Eggs and crispy pork soaked in &#8216;paloe&#8217; sauce! Hideous and tasty! ไข่พะโล้</p>
<p>If the place above is The Local, this place should probably be called The Super Local. The neighborhood is obscure, they don&#8217;t close until about 3AM. There&#8217;s beer and karaoke inside and Thai whisky sold not to far away. Anyway, put it on your radar and if you&#8217;re really feeling like exploring some place new, the Thaidashian girls will be happy to see you.</p>
<p>The grab and go curries are usually around 20 THB and there&#8217;s snacks around 10 THB each. I ordered three dishes, plus had them put their grilled chicken in drunken noodles (not a normal order) and I spent less than $5 (120 THB).</p>
<p><strong>STUPID CHEAP.</strong></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the slice of our Bangkok Food Map that you need to find both places!</p>

<p>Now I do have a lot of favorite Thai dishes, but nothing pleases me more than a <a title="Southern Thai Food" href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2011/08/serious-southern-thai-food-feeding-the-addiction-at-lan-luam-dtai-restaurant/" target="_blank">southern Thai food</a> feast. One of the dishes that I just can&#8217;t get enough of and keep eating as much as possible is southern Thai style &#8220;gaeng som&#8221; soup.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not that tomatoey sweet and sour gaeng som, the southern version is pungently sour and explosively hot, flavored with chillies and fresh turmeric root.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>What&#8217;s Thai breakfast food?</p>
<p>Hard boiled egg? Kanom jeen? Chicken biryani?</p>
<p>The truth is there&#8217;s no such thing.</p>
<div id="attachment_4833" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 582px"> 
    <a href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/kanomjeen.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-4833" title="There's no such thing as thai breakfast food" src="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/kanomjeen.jpg" alt="kanomjeen Theres No Such Thing As Thai Breakfast Food" width="582" height="425" /></a> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">There&#39;s no such thing as thai breakfast food, not even kanom jeen (ขนมจีนน้ำยา)</p>
</div>
<p>As Mark alludes in this week&#8217;s <a title="Thai Breakfast: 13 of the Most Popular Dishes" href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2012/01/thai-breakfast-food-dishes/" target="_blank">13 Most Popular Thai Dishes for Breakfast</a>, Thais hardly make any time based distinction between food groups like breakfast, lunch, and dinner.</p>
<p>The thai word used for breakfast (ahaan chow อาหารเช้า) roughly translates as &#8220;morning food.&#8221;</p>
<p>In fact, if we really wanted to vigorously categorize Thai food, we would be far more accurate to group foods by what you eat when semi-hungry, drunk, or avoiding the dreaded &#8216;ring of fire.&#8217;</p>
<div id="attachment_4824" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 635px"> 
    <a href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/morningsex.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-4824" title="Well, maybe there are a few good things that happen in the morning..." src="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/morningsex.jpg" alt="morningsex Theres No Such Thing As Thai Breakfast Food" width="635" height="547" /></a> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Well, maybe there are a few good things that happen in the morning...</p>
</div>
<p>You love Thai food? Then forget about breakfast.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take an elusive plate of Thai street food style chicken biryani with saffron rice (kow mok gai ข้าวหมกไก่) as an example.</p>
<p>The vendor dealing this plate of yellow intoxication can be found across the street from Bangkok&#8217;s Hindu Temple, but she&#8217;s only there for early risers and by 9am she&#8217;s sold out.</p>
<p>You show up, looking like an extra from <em>The Walking Dead</em>, at 8:55am and can hear the woman who runs the stall scraping the giant boiler to fill up the last few plates. The other zombies who showed up after you, get in line inquiring over your head, &#8220;Is it all gone yet?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Almost,&#8221; the vendor answers as she scrapes.</p>
<div id="attachment_4836" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <a href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/photo-21.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-4836" title="Scraping the bottom of a giant boiler of biryani by 9am" src="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/photo-21.jpg" alt="photo 21 Theres No Such Thing As Thai Breakfast Food" width="640" height="387" /></a> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Scraping the bottom of a giant boiler of biryani by 9am</p>
</div>
<p>The ungodly hour, the antsy people behind you, and the threatening scraping of the pot are all colluding to convince you this food is better in the morning.</p>
<p>Snap out of it! While you may have to get up occasionally for a biryani fix, there&#8217;s no reason to go around trying to make it a regular thing.</p>
<p>Anyway, neither the infamous biryani or the common kanom jeen are likely to be the &#8220;morning food&#8221; westerners think of as breakfast.</p>
<p>This is not only great news for the few liberated minds among us who recognize <strong>NOTHING</strong> good happens before 9am, but also to foodies who appreciate the freedom to eat all manor of deliciousness around the clock!</p>

<p>Seeing the all familiar line up of southern Thai food leaves me no choice but to make a pit stop.</p>
<p>As much as I love <a title="Thai food" href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/" target="_blank">Thai food</a> from around the country, absolutely nothing satisfies me more than a feast of <a title="Southern Thai Food" href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2011/08/serious-southern-thai-food-feeding-the-addiction-at-lan-luam-dtai-restaurant/" target="_blank">southern Thai food</a>!</p>

    <p class="wp-caption-text">Southern Thai Food</p>
</div>
<p>Marked by a few pods of <em>Sataw</em> (stink beans popular to eat in southern food) sitting in the door way and an aroma of turmeric root and a fusion of delicious humid fumes I stepped inside <strong>Lan Song Palinya Gaeng Pak Dtai (ร้านสองปริญญาแกงปักษ์ใต้)</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Tip</strong>: It&#8217;s always good to eat southern Thai food in the morning or for lunch when the food is still fresh and somewhat hot.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Lan Song Palinya Gaeng Pak Dtai ร้านสองปริญญาแกงปักษ์ใต้" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7160/6498329987_75ec293f2e_o.jpg" alt="6498329987 75ec293f2e o Irresistible Southern Thai Curry at Sam Long Market Restaurant" width="640" height="427" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Lan Song Palinya Gaeng Pak Dtai ร้านสองปริญญาแกงปักษ์ใต้</p>
</div>
<p>The friendly owner of the restaurants cheerfully waited as I took a few photos of her food and decided on a few of the dishes I would sample for the day.</p>
<p>Everything looked awesome.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Plate of Rice and Kai Dtom Yang Matum (ไข่ต้มยางมะตูม)" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7150/6498332503_f0de755390_o.jpg" alt="6498332503 f0de755390 o Irresistible Southern Thai Curry at Sam Long Market Restaurant" width="640" height="427" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Plate of Rice and Kai Dtom Yang Matum (ไข่ต้มยางมะตูม)</p>
</div>
<p>We started things off with fresh steamed rice and <em>Kai Dtom Yang Matum</em> (ไข่ต้มยางมะตูม) &#8211; hard boiled egg made with an egg yolk that is slightly orangey and saltier than normal.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Gaeng Taypo (แกงเทโพ)" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7164/6498331941_a5711bcf95_o.jpg" alt="6498331941 a5711bcf95 o Irresistible Southern Thai Curry at Sam Long Market Restaurant" width="640" height="960" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Gaeng Taypo (แกงเทโพ)</p>
</div>
<p>The <em>Gaeng Taypo</em> (แกงเทโพ), though slightly on the cold side was excellent.</p>
<p>Gaeng Taypo a milky sour curry filled with morning glory vegetables and fried fish. The chunks or deep fried fish were still crispy on the outside and flaky with just a few bones on the inside.</p>
<p>My mouth was already overjoyed.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Goong Pad Sataw (กุ้งผัดสะตอ)" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7006/6498331321_aba1479fed_o.jpg" alt="6498331321 aba1479fed o Irresistible Southern Thai Curry at Sam Long Market Restaurant" width="640" height="427" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Goong Pad Sataw (กุ้งผัดสะตอ)</p>
</div>
<p>One of the <a title="Best Thai Dishes" href="http://migrationology.com/2010/03/100-best-thai-dishes-to-eat-in-bangkok-ultimate-eating-guide/" target="_blank">best Thai dishes</a> I can&#8217;t get enough of these days is <em>Goong Pad Sataw</em> (กุ้งผัดสะตอ)<em>.</em></p>
<p>I actively and frequently search it out. Shrimp, stink beans (sataw) and chili curry paste is about all that goes into this one hit wonder.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Ganeg Som Nor Mai (แกงส้มหน่อไม้)" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7011/6498332257_768a88fcf4_o.jpg" alt="6498332257 768a88fcf4 o Irresistible Southern Thai Curry at Sam Long Market Restaurant" width="640" height="427" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Ganeg Som Nor Mai (แกงส้มหน่อไม้)</p>
</div>
<p>Another classic southern Thai dish is Gaeng Som, that can be made with a variety of filling ingredients. <a title="Gaeng Som Sapalot" href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2011/06/delightful-southern-thai-food-in-bangkok-lan-ahan-puk-tai-dao-tai/" target="_blank">Gaeng Som Sapalot</a> (with pineapple) is wonderful as is Gaeng Som Malago (with green papaya) and Gaeng Som Normai (with bamboo shoots like above).</p>
<p>It was spicy, down to earth spicy&#8230;and sour to go with that.</p>
<p>This <em>Ganeg Som Nor Mai</em> (แกงส้มหน่อไม้) was made just the way I dream of it to be: out of control spicy, ridiculously sour, and absurdly flavorful.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Nam Prik Makam (น้ำพริกมะขาม)" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7005/6498332789_978b53ea02_o.jpg" alt="6498332789 978b53ea02 o Irresistible Southern Thai Curry at Sam Long Market Restaurant" width="640" height="427" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Nam Prik Makam (น้ำพริกมะขาม)</p>
</div>
<p>Lastly for this little pre-market brunch we ordered a side of <em>Nam Prik Makam</em> (น้ำพริกมะขาม) &#8211; tamarind based chili sauce.</p>
<p>One of the really nice additions to Lan Song Palinya Gaeng Pak Dtai (ร้านสองปริญญาแกงปักษ์ใต้) was that they served their raw vegetables on a huge platter sitting on each and every table &#8211; meaning you can basically eat as much of the veg as you want &#8211; nice touch in my opinion!</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Kua Kling Moo คั่วกลิ้งหมู" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7019/6498330509_beca12a384_o.jpg" alt="6498330509 beca12a384 o Irresistible Southern Thai Curry at Sam Long Market Restaurant" width="640" height="427" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Kua Kling Moo คั่วกลิ้งหมู</p>
</div>
<p>Too full, I wasn&#8217;t even able to sample some of the great looking other dishes like the <a title="Kua Kling Moo" href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2011/08/serious-southern-thai-food-feeding-the-addiction-at-lan-luam-dtai-restaurant/" target="_blank">Thai dry curry</a> (Kua Kling Moo คั่วกลิ้งหมู).</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Pla Too" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7173/6498330943_8c66c9be0e_o.jpg" alt="6498330943 8c66c9be0e o Irresistible Southern Thai Curry at Sam Long Market Restaurant" width="640" height="427" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Pla Too</p>
</div>
<p>Or this Pla Too and nam prik!</p>
<p>I guess it will have to wait for next time!</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Lan Song Palinya Gaeng Pak Dtai ร้านสองปริญญาแกงปักษ์ใต้" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7021/6498333237_76c7470d5f_o.jpg" alt="6498333237 76c7470d5f o Irresistible Southern Thai Curry at Sam Long Market Restaurant" width="640" height="427" />

<h1>The Bottom Line</h1>
<p>They make good solid southern Thai food, really really good. Then again, if you are making mediocre Thai food around Sam Long Market (ตลาดสำโรง), you won&#8217;t last long with all the competition around.</p>
<p>Their dishes are definitely on the spicy side, so if you are up for it, it&#8217;s wonderful!</p>

<p>Many of the most pungent foods in Thailand are what I strive and love to eat! <a title="Southern Thai Food" href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2011/08/serious-southern-thai-food-feeding-the-addiction-at-lan-luam-dtai-restaurant/" target="_blank">Southern Thai food</a> has many robust curries and strong foods that I just can&#8217;t seem to get enough of.</p>
<p>Along with Gaeng Som, Gaeng Tai Pla (<span class="Apple-style-span">แกงไตปลา </span>or salty fish kidney curry) is one of my favorites. It&#8217;s salty and spicy and full of extreme flavor! This breakfast I enjoyed Gaeng Tai Pla over a bed of soft rice noodles known as Khanom Jeen.</p>

<p>Along with the gorgeous limestone pillars of stone that rise from the turquoise Andaman Sea, Krabi is also a special place for those who seek to elevate their culinary interests.</p>
<p><strong><em>Nong Joke Restaurant ร้านน้องโจ๊ก</em></strong> on the edges of town is a famous restaurant that is popular with both locals and Thai tourists alike.</p>
<p>ไม่เพียงแต่ทัศนียภาพที่สวยงาม จากท้องทะเลอันดามันสีเขียวครามเท่านั้น ที่ทำให้กระบี่เป็นที่นิยมของนักท่องเที่ยวจากทุกๆที่ กระบี่ยังมีอาหารหลายหลายชนิดเพื่อให้ผู้ที่สนใจได้มาทดลองกัน</p>
<p>ร้านอาหาร &#8220;น้องโจ๊ก&#8221; ซึ่งตั้งอยู่ปลายสุดของเมือง ก็เป็นร้านที่ได้รับความนิยมจากทั้งนักท่องเที่ยวต่างชาติ และคนไทยทั้งสิ้น</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 427px">

    <p class="wp-caption-text">Tom Som Pla ต้มส้มปลา</p>
</div>
<p>Though I would have loved to order Gaeng Som (among my top things to eat in the world), because I had eaten some for lunch, I opted to try their <em>Tom Som Pla ต้มส้มปลา</em>.</p>
<p>แม้ว่าผมอยากจะสั่ง &#8220;แกงส้ม&#8221; ซึ่งเป็นอาหารจานโปรดของผมตาม แต่ผมก็จำได้ว่าทานเป็นมื้อกลางวันไปแล้ว เลยลองเปลี่ยนมาสั่ง &#8220;ต้มส้มปลา&#8221; แทน</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 427px">

    <p class="wp-caption-text">Tom Som Pla ต้มส้มปลา</p>
</div>
<p>I think<em><em> Tom Som Pla ต้มส้มปลา </em></em>is one of the sourest <a title="Thai dishes" href="http://migrationology.com/2010/03/100-best-thai-dishes-to-eat-in-bangkok-ultimate-eating-guide/" target="_blank">Thai dishes</a>. The tangy liquid was so sour it nearly gave me goosebumps, though it was so addictive that we managed to easily slurp it all down and still wanted more.</p>
<p>ผมคิดว่า ต้มส้มปลา ถือเป็นอาหารที่มีรสชาติที่เรียกว่าเปรี้ยวมากที่สุด เมื่อลองครั้งแรก รสชาติของน้ำแกงนั้นเปรี้ยวจนผมเกือบขนลุก แต่เมื่อทานไปเรื่อยๆก็เริ่มจะติดใจและอยากทานเพิ่มอีก</p>

    <p class="wp-caption-text">Nam Prik Goong Sot นำ้พริกกุ้งสด, Krabi, Thailand</p>
</div>
<p>One of my favorite forms of Thai style spicy chili sauce is <em>Nam Prik Goong Sot นำ้พริกกุ้งสด</em>. The tangy sauce was loaded with shrimp and alive with accents of chili and lime juice.</p>
<p>หนึ่งในอาหารประเภทเผ็ดๆที่ผมชอบมากคือ น้ำพริกกุ้งสด ซึ่งก็จะมีรสค่อนค้างเปรี้ยวเช่นกัน แต่เต็มไปด้วยเนื้อกุ้งที่ถูกปรุงแต่งให้ได้รสชาติด้วยพริกสดและมะนาว</p>

I attempt to eat it at every occasion possible, especially when I&#8217;m down in Krabi.</p>
<p>I was excited to find <em>Sataw Pao สะตอเผา</em> (Roasted Stink Bean) on the menu at Nong Joke ร้านน้องโจ๊ก. They were outrageously delicious when smothered in <em>Nam Prik </em>sauce (pictured above).</p>
<p>กุ้งผัดสะตอ ถือเป็นอาหารยอดนิยมของคนไทยชาวภาคใต้และเป็นหนึ่งในอาหารจานโปรดของผม ผมพยายามจะหาทานให้ได้ทุกๆครั้งที่มีโอกาศมาเที่ยวที่กระบี่</p>
<p>ผมตื่นเต้นที่ได้รู้จักกับ สะตอเผา ซึ่งมีในราสยการอาหารร้านน้องโจ๊ก เพราะมันมีรสช่ติที่อร่่อยมากจริงๆ เมื่อทานคู่กับน้ำพริกต่างๆ หน้าตาของมัน ดูได้จากรูปภาพด้านบน</p>

</div>
<p>I used to not find bitter melon very good, but after hanging out in China for a month and enjoying bitter melon almost everyday, <em>Mala Sai Goong ผัดมะระกุ้ง</em> (Bitter Melon with Shrimp) has been a highly attractive thing for me to eat lately.</p>
<p>It was stir fried with a handful of meaty shrimps and chunks of garlic and oyster sauce.</p>
<p>เมื่อก่อนนั้น ผมจะไม่ชอบทานมะระสักเท่าไหร่ แต่หลังจากได้ใช้เวลาอยู่ในเมืองจีนนานถึงหนึ่งเดือนเต็ม ผมมีโอกาศได้ทานมะระเกือบทุกวัน จนตอนนี้ผมมาค้นพบ ผัดมะระกุ้ง ซึ่งสร้างความประทับใจต่อผมอย่างมาก โดยเขาจะนำมะระมาผัดกับกุ้ง ใส่กระเทียม และปรุงรสชาติให้กลมกล่อมด้วยซอสหอยนางรม</p>

<p>Pak Goot ผัดผักกูด is a fernlike vegetable that I had never eaten before going to Nong Joke. In English it is a particular type of <strong>Athyriaceae </strong>leafy plant &#8211; but don&#8217;t worry, I didn&#8217;t have any idea what it was either.</p>
<p>It was an alright green vegetables, nothing to rave about, but good.</p>
<p>ผัดผักกูด เป็นผักที่ผมไม่เคยรู้จักมาก่อน มันมีหน้าตาคล้ายกับใบเฟิร์น และในภาษาอังกฤษนั้นก็จะจัดให้อยู๋ในสายพันธ์ใกล้ๆกับเฟิร์น อย่าตกใจไปถ้าคุณไม่รู็จักผักชนิดนี้ เพราะผมก็เช่นเดียวกัน</p>
<p>มันเป็นผักที่รสชาติธรรมดา ไม่มีอะไรโดดเด่นเท่าไหร่ แต่ทำออกมาทานแล้วอร่อยดี</p>

<p>Among my favorite restaurants in Thailand (and in the world for that matter) is a little neighborhood restaurant in Krabi town known as Lan Nong Jane ร้านน้องเจน.</p>
<p>The family run dinner establishment serves a few dishes that are entirely worth the try.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve eaten here numerous times, and it was one of my standard restaurants when I lived in Krabi for a month a year ago.</p>
<p>One of the best things about Krabi is the quality of fresh seafood. The shrimp the cook uses in dishes like <em>Goong Pad Prik Pao กุ้งผัดพริกเผา </em>are meaty and he takes care to never overcook them so they aren&#8217;t rubbery.</p>
<p>ร้านอาหารแบบครอบครัวนี้ มีอาหารที่น่าลองหมดทุกอย่าง</p>
<p>หนึ่งในร้านอาหารที่ชื่นชอบในประเทศไทย (และในโลกก็ตาม) คือร้านอาหารในละแวกเล็กๆ ในเมืองกระบี่ ที่ชื่อว่าร้านน้องเจน</p>
<p>ผมเคยมาลองทานหลายทีแล้ว และมันเป็นร้านอาหารที่ผมจะต้องมาให้ได้ทุกครั้งที่ผมได้มากระบี่</p>
<p>หนึ่งในสิ่งที่ดีที่สุดเกี่ยวกับกระบี่คือ คุณภาพของอาหารทะเลสดใหม่ อาหารเช่นกุ้งผัดพริกเผา ที่มีเนื้อเยอะ และไม่ต้มกุ้งจนสุกมากเกินไป ทำให้ได้เนื้อกุ้งที่สุกกำลังดี</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Yam Woon Sen Ruam Mit ยำวุ้นเส้นรวมมิตร" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6175/6174788895_17fc21b1f2_o.jpg" alt="6174788895 17fc21b1f2 o Sweltering Soups and Kickin Curries at a Krabi Top Restaurant, Nong Jane" width="640" height="427" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Yam Woon Sen Ruam Mit ยำวุ้นเส้นรวมมิตร</p>
</div>
<p><em>Lan Nong Jane</em> serves by far the best <em>Yam Woon Sen Ruam Mit ยำวุ้นเส้นรวมมิตร</em> I&#8217;ve personally every treid. It is absolutely everthing I could ask for when it comes to spicy mung bean salad.</p>
<p>ยำวุ้นเส้นรวมมิตรของร้านนี้ผมคิดว่าอร่อยที่สุดแล้ว มันเป็นยำวุ้นเส้นที่ผมคิดว่ายอดเยี่ยมที่สุดแล้วที่เคยทานมา</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Yam Woon Sen Ruam Mit ยำวุ้นเส้นรวมมิตร" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6159/6175316504_6f1921c902_o.jpg" alt="6175316504 6f1921c902 o Sweltering Soups and Kickin Curries at a Krabi Top Restaurant, Nong Jane" width="640" height="427" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Yam Woon Sen Ruam Mit ยำวุ้นเส้นรวมมิตร</p>
</div>
<p>The cook uses a generous southern Thai style amount of Thai chilies and the dish is heavy on sour lime juice. The combination of fresh and cooked ingredients, the seafood, and the pungent dressing makes the mung bean noodles shockingly good.</p>
<p>การปรุงนั้นก็ใส่พริกสดอย่างเต็มที่ มีรสชาติที่แซ่บอย่างพอดี และมีรสเปรี้ยวของมะนาวที่เด่นชัด ส่วนผสมของอาหารจานนี้ ใช้ทั้งอาหารทะเลสดๆ และการปรุงรสที่จัดจ้าน ทำให้ได้รสชาติที่สุดยอดอย่างไม่น่าเชื่อ</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px">

    <p class="wp-caption-text">Pad Tamlung Sai Kai ผัดตำลึงใส่ไข่</p>

<p><em>Tamlung</em> (Ivy Gourd Leaves), along with <a title="Pak Gachet" href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2011/06/pad-pak-gachet-a-tangled-mess-of-a-glorious-vegetable/" target="_blank">Pak Gachet</a>, is one of my favorite leafy green vegetables in all of Thailand. Normally in Bangkok it is served in plain <em>Gaeng Jued</em> clear vegetable soup.</p>
<p>At Lan Nong Jane, ivy gourd leaves are seared with hot oil on a flaming wok (<em>Pad Tamlung Sai Kai ผัดตำลึงใส่ไข่</em>). Due to the high heat, the egg instantly scrambles and is so good it could easily pass as minced meat.</p>
<p>ผักตำลึง และผักกระเฉด คือผักชนิดโปรดของผมที่สุดแล้วในเมืองไทย โดยใบตำลึงนั้น ส่วนมากคนกรุงเทพนั้น จะนำมาทำเป็นแกงจืดตำลึง</p>
<p>ที่ร้านนี้ เขาจะนำใบตำลึงมาผัดจนไฟลุก โดยผัดกับไข่ทำให้ได้รสชาติของไข่ที่ผสมกันจนออกมาเป็นอาหารรสเลิศ</p>

After being away in China for a month, it was the comfort of <em>Gaeng Som</em> that I really began to crave.</p>
<div id="gt-res-content">
<div dir="ltr">Lan Nong Jane in Krabi Town makes one of the best <em>Gaeng Som Pla Kabok Nor Mai Dong แกงส้มปลากระบอกหน่อไม่ดอง</em> that I have ever had the priviedge of devouring.</div>
</div>
<p>It&#8217;s cooked with the entire fish chopped up into pieces and the soup is deeply spiced and tingly sour like it should be.</p>
<p>A few bites of this sweltering Gaeng Som will have you dripping with sweat and pleading for more.</p>
<p>แกงส้มปลากระบอกหน่อไม้ดอง เป็นแกงที่ผมชื่นชอบมาก หลังจากไปอยู่ที่เมืองจีนมา 1 เดือน แกงส้ม คือสิ่งที่ผมคิดถึงมากที่สุด</p>
<p>ร้านนี้เป็นร้านที่ทำแกงส้มได้อร่อยมากที่สุดเท่าทีผมเคยลองมา โดยเขาใช้ปลาทั้งตัวหั่นเป็นชิ้นๆใส่ลงไป และปรุงรสด้วยเครื่องเทศที่จัดจ้าน ให้รสชาติเปรี้ยวกลมกล่อม แค่ทานไปไม่กี่คำก็ทำให้ผมเหงื่อตก แต่ความอยากทานก็จะมีมากขึ้นตามไปด้วย</p>

<p><em>Sataw</em>, known as Stink Bean, is a fantastic little beany vegetable. Their <em>Goong Pad Sataw กุ้งผัดสะตอ</em> is cooked with a dab of fermented shrimp paste (kaphi) to make a thick salty (and of course) and spicy sauce.</p>
<p>กุ้งปผัดสะตอนั้น ผ่านการปรุงรสอย่างดี และทางร้านใช้กระปิ ที่ช่วยทำให้อาหารจานนี้ มีรสชาติเข้มข้นอร่อยมาก</p>

</div>
<p>Everything down to just a classic omelet with minced pork (<em>Kai Jeow Moo Saap ไข่เจียวหมูสับ</em>) is wonderful at Lan Nong Jane.</p>
<p>อาหารทุกจานแม้กระทั่ง ไข่เจียวหมูสับ ก็ยังมีรสชาติที่เยียมยอด</p>
<h1>The Bottom Line</h1>
<p>As one of my favorite restaurants in all of Thailand, I have had dreams about this restaurant.</p>
<p>That being said, I enjoy dishes where flavors are extremely strong and pungent. At Lan Nong Jane&#8217;s, they take spicy and sour very very seriously. If you enjoy making your taste buds dance, I would highly recommend this restaurants. However, if you aren&#8217;t so much into spicy and sourness, you might want to try a different place for dinner.</p>
<p>โดยรวมแล้วร้านนี้เป็นหนึ่่งในร้านโปรดที่สุดของผม เคยถึงกับฝันถึงร้านนี้เลยทีเดียว โดยส่วนตัวแล้ว ผมชอบอาหารที่มีรสชาติเข้มข้น รสจัดจ้าน และร้านนี้เขาปรุงอาหารออกมาได้รสเผ็ด และเปรี้ยวเป็นหลัก ถ้าคุณชอบอาหารรสจัดๆ ผมขอแนะนำให้ไปร้านนี้ แต่สำหรับผู้ที่ไม่นิยมทานเผ็ดผมขอแนะนำให้ลองทานร้านอื่นแทน</p>
<p><strong>Hours</strong>: The restaurant opens at about 5:30 pm until about 10 pm for dinner</p>
<p>เปิดตั้งแต่ 5 โมงครึ่งถึง 4 ทุ่ม</p>
<p><strong>Prices</strong>: Prices are little more expensive than normal <a title="Thai street food" href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/" target="_blank">Thai street food</a>, mainly because of the generous amounts and quality of seafood. Seafood dishes cost 120 &#8211; 160 THB and vegetables dishes are around 60 THB.</p>
<h1>How to Get There</h1>
<p>Lan Nong Jane ร้านน้องเจน is located about a 10 minute walk from the center of Krabi Town, on the main road. From the Mall just head north on Maharaj and the restaurant is located right after a large Chinese Temple complex.</p>
<p>ร้านน้องเจน อยุ่ห่างจากตัวเมืองกระบี่ประมาณ 10 นาที อยู่บนถนน มหาราช</p>

</div>
<p>Today I just wanted to share a few photos from Krabi&#8217;s bustling <strong>Maharaj Market</strong>.</p>
<p>The market starts up way early in the morning, I think about 3 am, and doesn&#8217;t wind down until around 10 am. A good time to visit is the 7 &#8211; 8 am range.</p>
<p>The newly renovated Maharaj Market in Krabi is nicely organized and despite its heavy traffic, the market is clean and easy to navigate. There are sections for fruit, vegetables, fish, meat, dry food stuffs, and a huge breakfast pre-made food area.</p>
<p>วันนี้ ผมของเอารูปภาพจากตลาดมหาราชในจังหวัดกระบี่ มาให้ดูกัน</p>
<p>ตลาดจะเริ่มตั้งแต่เช้าตรู่ คือเปิดตั้งแต่ตีสามไปจนถึง 10 โมงเช้า ส่วนเวลาที่ควรไป ก็คือระหว่าง 7-8 โมง โดยตลาดมหาราชที่ได้รับการปรับปรุงใหม่นั้น จะมีการจัดแต่งอย่างดี ถึงแม้จะมีคนมากมายก็ตาม ตลาดนี้ ก็ยังคงความสะอาดไว้ได้ และเดินซื้อของได้ง่าย  มีทั้งส่วนที่ขายผัก ผลไม้ ปลาสด เนื้อสด และของแห้งต่างๆ  และมีส่วนขายอาหารเช้าที่ค่อนข้างใหญ่ที่เดียว</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Bananas at Maharaj Market" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6169/6183636687_46c8e55f12_z.jpg" alt="6183636687 46c8e55f12 z Bustling Morning Maharaj Market in Krabi Town, Thailand" width="640" height="427" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Bananas at Maharaj Market</p>
</div>
<p>Southern Thailand, just like other places like <a title="Kota Kinabalu Market" href="http://migrationology.com/2010/06/kota-kinabalus-phenomenal-market/" target="_blank">Kota Kinabalu</a> in SE Asia are blessed by an abundance of fresh produce and seas that teem with fish.</p>
<p>Banana vendors seem to have an infinite number of bananas, all lined up and waiting to be purchased.</p>
<p>ภาคใต้ของไทยนั้น  จะมีความคล้ายคลึงกับหลายๆพื้นที่ในเอเชียตะวันออกเฉียงใต้ คือมีความอุดมสมบูรณ์ด้านวัตถุดิบต่างๆ โดยเฉพาะปลาสดหลากหลายชนิด</p>
<p>ร้านขายกล้วย ที่ดูเหมือนจะมีกล้วยมากอย่างไม่มีวันหมด  วางเรียงกันให้ลูกค้าทุกคนได้ลองเลือกซื้อ</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Southern Thailand Chili Peppers" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6159/6184158644_01fbd5e9ce_z.jpg" alt="6184158644 01fbd5e9ce z Bustling Morning Maharaj Market in Krabi Town, Thailand" width="640" height="427" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Southern Thailand Chili Peppers</p>
</div>
<p>Chilies are worshipped in <a title="Southern Thai Food" href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2011/06/delightful-southern-thai-food-in-bangkok-lan-ahan-puk-tai-dao-tai/" target="_blank">southern Thai food</a>.</p>
<p>These little neon colored yellow, red and green chillies are slightly different and a bit more pungent from normal Thai chilies. They are one of my favorite chili peppers!</p>
<p>พริกเป็นสิ่งที่สำคัญยิ่งสำหรับอาหารภาคใต้  พริกขี้หนูสีสันสวยงามเหล่านีี้ จะมีรสเผ็ดจัดจ้านกว่าพริกของไทยทั้วไป มันคือหนึ่งในพริกที่ผมชอบที่สุด</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Turmeric Root - Maharaj Market, Krabi, Thailand" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6175/6184157906_f9a331b4d9_z.jpg" alt="6184157906 f9a331b4d9 z Bustling Morning Maharaj Market in Krabi Town, Thailand" width="640" height="427" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Turmeric Root - Maharaj Market, Krabi, Thailand</p>
</div>
<p>Turmeric root, though not overly common in northern Thai food, is used heavily in southern dishes like <em>Gaeng Som</em> (sour hot soup). There are piles of turmeric all over the <em>Maharaj Market</em>.</p>
<p>แม้ว่าจะไม่ค่อยได้รับความนิยมเท่าไหร่ในอาหารไทยของภาคเหนือ  แต่ขมิ้น เป็นเครื่องปรุงที่ใช้กับอาหารของภาคใต้อย่างกว้างขวาง เช่นแกงส้ม เป็นต้น และที่ตลาดนี้ ก็มีขมิ้นวางขายอยู่เต็มไปหมด</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Maharaj Market - Krabi, Thailand" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6172/6183640217_ab1d41158e_z.jpg" alt="6183640217 ab1d41158e z Bustling Morning Maharaj Market in Krabi Town, Thailand" width="640" height="427" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Maharaj Market - Krabi, Thailand</p>
</div>
<p>Southern Thai food is quite different from <a title="Isaan food" href="http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2010/09/isaan-food/" target="_blank">Isaan food</a> and it&#8217;s always amazing to me that they use an entire different realm of natural vegetables, stalks and herbs in their cooking.</p>
<p>อาหารไทยจากภาคใตนั้น จะแตกต่างกับอาหารอีสาน โดยสิ่งที่น่าสนใจ คือการใช้ส่วนประกอบของเครื่องปรุงอาหารที่ต่างกัน   ทั้งผักหลายหลายชนิด และการใช้เครื่องเทศที่ต่างกัน</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Pile of Coconuts in Krabi" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6156/6184165190_efeb8d9b84_z.jpg" alt="6184165190 efeb8d9b84 z Bustling Morning Maharaj Market in Krabi Town, Thailand" width="640" height="427" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Pile of Coconuts in Krabi</p>
</div>
<p>Coconuts, just like bananas and pineapples (and other tropical fruits), are in abundance throughout the market.</p>
<p>มะพร้าว เช่นเดียวกับสับปะรด และกล้วย คือผลไม้ยอดนิยม และมีขายมากที่สุดในตลาด</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Dried Fish" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6177/6183643191_05e3bb1ca1_z.jpg" alt="6183643191 05e3bb1ca1 z Bustling Morning Maharaj Market in Krabi Town, Thailand" width="640" height="427" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Dried Fish</p>
</div>
<p>Due to Krabi&#8217;s Andaman sea location, fish and other gems from the sea are what I strive to eat when I&#8217;m there. I love walking around fish markets!</p>
<p>The seafood section in the market is filled with loads of fish varieties including dried and fresh.</p>
<p>กระบี่ ตั้งอยู่ในฝั่งของทะเลอันดามัน  ดังนั้น จึงมีผลิดภัณท์จากท้องทะเลอยู่มากมาย และเป็นสิ่งที่ผมขาดไม่ได้เมื่อไปเที่ยวที่นี่  ผมชื่นชอบการเดินเลือกซื้อของสดในตลาดขายปลามาก<br />
มีปลาหลายพันธ์ให้เลือกซื้อ มีทั้งปลาสดและปลาตากแห้ง</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 427px"> 
    <img title="Cutting Fresh Fish in Krabi, Thailand" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6179/6183642677_1e5bc499d5_z.jpg" alt="6183642677 1e5bc499d5 z Bustling Morning Maharaj Market in Krabi Town, Thailand" width="427" height="640" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Cutting Fresh Fish in Krabi, Thailand</p>
</div>
<p>Like other fish markets, you have the choie of either buying your fish whole, or having a fishmonger scrape off the scales and de-gut it for you</p>
<p>เช่นเดียวกับตลาดขายปลาที่อื่นๆ ก็คือเราจะซื้อปลาทั้งตัว หรือจะให้เขาชำแหละให้ก็ได้</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 427px"> 
    <img title="Fish at the Fish Market in Krabi" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6170/6184161396_740afb9b78_z.jpg" alt="6184161396 740afb9b78 z Bustling Morning Maharaj Market in Krabi Town, Thailand" width="427" height="640" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Fish at the Fish Market in Krabi</p>
</div>
<p>This peculiar fish was stuffed with other smaller fish, or did it attempt to eat them all??</p>
<p>ไม่รู้ว่าปลาตัวนี้พยายามจะกินปลาที่อยู่ในปากของมันทั้งหมดหรือเปล่า??</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Stingray" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6177/6184164598_257e711a1b_z.jpg" alt="6184164598 257e711a1b z Bustling Morning Maharaj Market in Krabi Town, Thailand" width="640" height="427" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Stingray</p>
</div>
<p>Stingray is a popular fish throughout Southeast Asia. I&#8217;ve actually never eaten it at a restaurant in Thailand, but I did have it a few times while traveling in Malaysia.</p>
<p>น่าแปลกที่ปลากระเบนนี้ ถือว่าเป็นปลาที่ได้รับความนิยมโดยทั่วไป เพราะผมเองไม่เคยทานปลากระเบนในเมืองไทยเลย เคยลองทานตอนที่ไปมาเลเซียเท่านั้น</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Giant Shellfish" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6168/6184163940_cc77887497_z.jpg" alt="6184163940 cc77887497 z Bustling Morning Maharaj Market in Krabi Town, Thailand" width="640" height="427" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Giant Shellfish</p>
</div>
<p>I don&#8217;t really know what this giant shelled beast is, but it was HUGE &#8211; about the diameter of a basketball! The meat flowing out of its shell looked almost like a cow liver.</p>
<p>ผมไม่แน่ใจเหมือนกัน ว่าไอ้ตัวยักษ์ตัวนี้คือตัวอะไร แต่มันมีขนาดใหญ่มาก ใหญ่เกือบเท่าลูกบาสเก็ตบอล ส่วนเนื้อที่โผล่มาให้เห็น ก็มีหน้าตาคล้ายกับตับวัว</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Fuktong Sangkaya" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6174/6184160518_03f032b7e9_z.jpg" alt="6184160518 03f032b7e9 z Bustling Morning Maharaj Market in Krabi Town, Thailand" width="640" height="427" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Fuktong Sangkaya</p>
</div>
<p>Among the assortment of local speciality snacks and sweets, there are also a few classic <a title="Thai desserts" href="http://migrationology.com/2010/09/thai-desserts-khanom-wan-thai-the-ultimate-thailand-sweets-guide/" target="_blank">Thai desserts</a> like <em>Fuktong Sangkaya</em>.</p>
<p>ท่ามกลางอาหารเด็ดของภาคใต้ที่นิยมกัน ทั้งของคาวและขนมหวานต่างๆ  ก็ยังมีขนมไทยที่ได้รับความนิยมไปทั่วทุกภาค คือฟักทองสังขยานั่นเอง</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 640px"> 
    <img title="Khao Mok Neua at Maharaj Morning Market" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6163/6183642025_e9e5a9dfa6_z.jpg" alt="6183642025 e9e5a9dfa6 z Bustling Morning Maharaj Market in Krabi Town, Thailand" width="640" height="427" /> 
    <p class="wp-caption-text">Khao Mok Neua at Maharaj Morning Market</p>
</div>
<p>My favorite part of Maharaj Market is of course the section where freshly cooked food is served. There are loads of dishes to choose from.</p>
<p>So if you&#8217;re ever in Krabi Town, head over to the Maharaj Morning Market for a bit of observation and don&#8217;t forget to come hungry so you can eat a giant breakfast!</p>
<p>ส่วนที่ผมชอบมากที่สุดในตลาดมหาราชนี้ ก็แน่นอนว่าจะต้องเป็นที่มีอาหารที่ปรุงสุกมาให้แล้ว โดยมีอาหารให้เลือกหลากหลายอย่าง</p>
<p>ถ้าใครได้มาเที่ยวกระบี่ อย่าลืมมาลองเดินที่ตลาดแห่งนี้ รับรองว่าคุณจะต้องประทับใจอย่างแน่นอน</p>
