number of places and then we're gonna have a seafood local seafood meal i know that mantis shrimp is the size of my forearm i'm gonna share this entire day trip with you all of the seafood and the viewpoints the places that we stop so we are on our way we're about to enter the kind of the peninsula where the cape begins so if you can just see on the map uh this is nakhon si tamara in southern thailand that's the that's the main city right there and then we're driving well right now we are right here about to enter the peninsula but you can see it's going to get more and more narrow when you really get to the to the cape that's the cape that we're we're going towards but you can just see the map it's just full of shrimp farms mostly shrimp farms it's kind of a wetland and mangroves so we're gonna drive all the way up here we're gonna eat seafood here and we're gonna stop at some viewpoints and some beaches and then get all the way to the end [Music] viewpoint [Music] hello [Music] just stopped in the village right as there's a small just event happening at the temple i think the whole group of people is coming and they all are stopping to eat her snack thailand yes thank you and then it's just like completely sleepy and quiet and all of a sudden like 100 people are here [Music] looks like pudding and gel but look at that thick layer of coconut cream oh and sticky from the cassava like jelly juan maguey oh wow that is really good it's the bottom is really kind of like sticky jelly from the cassava and sweet and then the top layer is just pure like condensed coconut cream and salty and it's really warm yeah really warm like a like a hot dessert okay that was a good little stop whoa look at those speakers oh it's the whole band it's on uh the whole band is on the truck and massive speakers but we're on our way we just go down the road here we'll get to the beach to the coastline where there's a lot of seafood restaurants that's where we're going next [Music] [Music] whoa that's pretty pretty green but what a laid spot there are a number of restaurants right here uh there are some places selling fresh seafood and dried seafood as you come we're on the coast on the sand wow what a just ultimate laid-back seafood dining we smiled at her as we were driving in and she has this trey saudi cobb he has a tray of different shells what shells are those things a gun we're buying some of her dried shrimp some of her dried fish and some of her huge shells which then they'll be able to prepare for us at the seafood restaurant but we also pre-ordered some seafood at the restaurant as well uh and the restaurant that we're going to is called and at the same time is taking this opportunity we also are buying some buying some dried shrimp and dried fish to bring back to has some gifts for ying's family all right and she just conveniently drove up to us on the motorbike side cart so perfectly okay and now i think we should go order our seafood what a spot though look at this is the kitchen all just sand floor on the beach and they just have tables just kind of spread out along the beach uh under shelters under a little bungalow cabanas [Music] [Laughter] big surprise fan just exploded on us uh and they all we all thought that was pretty hilarious okay what a kitchen wow wow so [Music] [Applause] okay [Music] okay [Music] unbelievably friendly and so nice so cool she just keeps bringing more seafood they're just getting started so quickly on everything here are those shells that have already gone into hot water to boil the ones we just bought off the motorbike cart [Applause] thank you so much for watching this video i hope you're already enjoying it but if you could just take a moment right now to give this video a quick thumbs up to click like on this video you would really be helping me out and it will just take you one second so thank you in advance for clicking thumbs up they just are laughs and happiness and positivity in this kitchen and she is you can already tell that she is an ultimate master of cooking she just like chops ingredients uh pounds ingredients tosses them into boiling pots of water blah blah blah blah blah blah blah which is a mullet it's a mullet type of fish ah and they have eggs and they specifically have eggs and vinegar ah so [Music] [Applause] on the other side here of the kitchen she's making our our pickled crab and on top of the crab she loads up garlic and chilis like handfuls of them uh for the shrimp uh she puts it into a pot and it's called which is like baked with salt so then she added in just some seasoning some lemongrass some garlic some coriander and then some soy sauce and some salt and that's just gonna bake and with the lid on just keep those juices in it's gonna be really juicy and fragrant [Music] oh shrimp which are alien looking mantis shrimp and she's gonna deep fry them with garlic that mantis shrimp is the size of my forearm [Music] [Laughter] one of the reasons i love southern thailand so much but specifically nakansi tamara the food is like ultimate full flavor to the max chili's to the max stink beans to the max but the food in this province of southern thailand for me some of the best in the world and the paired that with the friendliness with the natural beauty with ah nakanzi tamara i i just love it here and they are i think almost ready he's just flying around the kitchen again uh just such skill such expertise right now the the mantis shrimp are going in the oil they were pre-boiled she added in like literally a couple heads of garlic into it a little bit of flour to get it crispy and some pepper i think and those are gonna boil to crispy perfection alien mantis shrimp [Music] um [Music] i think this is the final dish that we're getting it's seawater catfish in a spicy chili stir-fry and they're making it spicy that's what she was chopping up that is a lot a ton of green pepper i think that is everything let's move to the table oh yeah oh that's a lot of chilies and i think we're gonna choose a table out here on the with a view of the ocean oh first view of the ocean because i just went straight to the kitchen so quiet i think one of the best things about here is it's just so quiet and peaceful they have a variety of tables and little private uh little shelters you can sit in there's ours right there [Music] [Music] i'm i cannot express myself in words right now feet in the sand the entire table loaded with seafood lounge chairs beach lounge chairs i don't think i don't think it's possible i'm gonna get any better than this with the beach and not to mention it's so quiet and peaceful and relaxing and their hospitality friendliness is just on the next level [Music] so much amazing food on the table that i'm almost it's almost a little bit uh i'm in a state of confusion right now of what to even do i guess i'll just start with this giant plate of uh it's i think it's some type of a local clam uh but all they did this is what we bought off the motorbike car is this a double no one of them was one of them was loosened and fell out into the other shell okay oh that's a plump a plump one into the seafood sauce of garlic lots of chilies in there literally all they did for this was flash blanch it uh just to slightly cook them not even fully cook them and that's it then to eat with the seafood sauce oh wow yeah they're extremely fresh they're sweet really sweet and then that seafood is just like salty punch and garlicky and like that green chili really stands out and i cannot wait to try the tom some this is the boiled soup lots of turmeric that's what's making it yellow but tons also of uh of uh garlic and lemongrass in here and these are the ones with the eggs the the mullet with eggs and then what i what i'm also very interested in why i want to try this so much is because she used the vinegar from the which it's a type of palm palm tree that grows a fruit and this is vinegar soured with vinegar from that which was definitely home home produced in a plastic bottle first i have to just try that broth there's shallots in here too it's so fragrant oh wow oh that's incredible that vinegar there's all sorts like depending on which region you're in there's all different types of variations of because it just means like sour boiled a boil a sour boil because sometimes it can be soured with fruit sometimes it can be soured with tamarind she told me the vinegar is a little bit sweet it's almost like like a pickle a pickle punchy that soup that broth and then with that turmeric contrast oh it's so good amazing the prize of this fish is the eggs that just bumps it whoa that's gonna need some re-juicing without a doubt i'm going to re-juice it there we go and maybe put a little piece of was there oh okay i got the garlic on there too there we go the double sack wow oh wow that texture just kind of like crumbles in your mouth with little beads and then wrapped up in that soup oh it just kind of melts in your mouth oh that's incredible i love the vinegariness of that though the sweet and sour taste mmm oh and the the lemongrass in there and the turmeric next dish let's dig into is the bukaidong which are these are i think that they're mangrove mud crabs they're mud crabs which have then been marinated in fish sauce mixture uh maybe overnight look at that let's let's save them at the bottom let's let's uh let the let's expose that orange that extremely orange row yeah look at that is that in this claws here but just look at that bright bright orange row it's just popping go for that shell the inside of that shell scrape it out it's filled with roe and wow it's best to put that onto rice until hot rice preferably okay then i'm gonna dig into all those chil all those droppings of chilies and garlic put that on the bite too and then seafood saucing you think and to bump up the flavor even more a little bit of the seafood sauce and now the biggest challenge is to get everything on one bite and balance it on your spoon with hot rice and that's the perfect bite oh and did i mention the crab is raw it's just pickled and raw and this is the perfect bite oh wow oh it's sweet oh it's so creamy it's so buttery it's jelly all that garlic burns and the chili's in the shifu sauce it just like melts like butter on the hot rice that's insane that is a flavor harmony of everything you could possibly want in your mouth at one single time that deserves a little a lean back in the chair that's the ice cream style and then you pick a pie yeah and there's two ways to eat this one is the rice way one is the other way the ice cream cone style oh wow and with the with the body section then you get the meat mixed with the row with the richness with that fish sauce with the garlic it's almost like unbearable to to handle how delicious that is and you can just kind of suck it out and squeeze out all the meat oh man i think after that it's an appropriate time to garnish the mouth with some fresh stink beans and it just never go until the natural vitamin aroma flavor everything about stink beans is makes it one of my favorite foods in the world we still have a few more dishes to try let's try the the padpet next which is the the stir-fried chili which she just loaded i'm dripping okay she loaded up with curry paste uh and she fried with uh stink beans with tons of green pepper and this one is made with the um with the sea catfish and add a bit more chilis and stink beans and green pepper nothing makes me more excited than all of what's on my plate right now and you probably do want to be careful of the the catfish with the bones okay oh wow that is a bite this is just a pure overdose of flavor on one spoon that's like it's literally like eating an entire an entire you know the the pepper shakers that's like eating an entire pepper shaker in one bite the curry paste the kaffir lime leaf and that okay that cabbage so it's stunning it just kind of melts in your mouth it's the texture is so soft but not slimy just tender and melts yeah be careful of the ones okay next dish the shrimp baked in this type of pan which is called and then that sauce down there is a mix of salt and soy sauce and garlic and lemongrass that she added you want one of these shrimp right now look at the bottom yeah loaded with coriander roots uh lemongrass and garlic this guy drink the head juices oh wow it's so sweet unbelievably sweet and just that taste of the shell like the vibrant taste of the shrimp the common thing to do in thailand would be to dip the shrimp into the seafood sauce as with most other seafood get a good little dose of the seafood sauce so fresh so meaty next dish which i've been saving this is like a trophy dish is the mantis prawn which is literally this is forearm sized a forearm sized mantas prawn mantis shrimp uh and one takes up the entire plate just one look at that amount of garlic and pepper that she added onto this you mainly want to eat that uh that interior flesh like a shrimp and this is the tail section but look at that just it's armored and you can see the flesh on the inside it's almost purple [Music] oh wow it's like a cross between shrimp and crab it's almost more like crab meat but more muscular just the flakes of it and the sweetness it's unbelievably sweet and garlicky and pepper oh man and just it's stringy [Music] that is unbelievable like blown away probably the best mantis room i've ever had [Music] it's so sweet and so juicy and so i think the way that she fried it uh we boiled it for us quickly quickly blanched it and then deep fried it so that it's crispy but that saved all the juices on the inside without getting dried out at all [Music] and another great thing about this restaurant this place you're just sitting in the sand your feet you're soaking up the the rays of the sunshine through your feet in the sand and that even makes it all the better okay back to the table and i think i've now managed to try everything except for all the oysters being said these oysters are really good before this was ice water or this was ice just ice but they've been they've melted so you're gonna gotta pluck the oysters out of the water and then for thai style oyster eating you add on crispy shallots raw garlic chilies go on some of the roasted chili jam just a little bit because it's kind of sweet for me chili jam and a little bit of seafood sauce and then you gotta get your chaser ready the gate the flavor overdose and the chaser [Music] um that's extraordinary too there's a combination that just it's so pleasing because there's so many layers and dimensions of flavor and then that cool plump slimy oyster [Music] [Laughter] that was a close call okay maybe it's better just for you [Applause] okay go to the water i think one of the amazing things here is just it's so quiet and peaceful too uh but we are here on a week day so that's also why it's very quiet there's only one other family here eating with us and the entire beach is just completely quiet but ah definitely if you come out here on the weekend i think it's a popular place to come but if you can come here on the weekday when it's quiet like this oh man is it pristine and beautiful and quiet and peaceful oh it's so warm if you happen to have a three-year-old there's no better place to let their energy out than right here on this expanse of a beach wow i love it and one more thing there is one thing uh our total bill came to 1 520 baht that's about 50 uh that could have definitely been for four to six people for sure do i have sand all over my face yes i do ultra laid back friendly happy service outstanding seafood pristine sand like stretch of sand beach okay and so that completes the seafood meal here cannot recommend enough from here we're just going to drive down i think it's another 15 minutes to the end of the cape [Music] coming back house audi cobb they are so yeah so unbelievably friendly and nice and he said he's a former policeman yeah he's a former policeman uh and they just like oh man they treated us like family there what a what a place [Music] you get to a checkpoint where it's kind of a national park down here and you pay just 20 baht to enter to the next section but i think it's about a 15 10 10 minute drive or so down to the end of the cape [Music] [Music] so this is it this is the very end of the cape the road comes to an end talk about peace we're the only ones here the mangroves meet the sea but the sea is so unjust unbelievably calm and glassy not like barely even a ripple because this is the end of the it's just surrounded by so many bays that's so peaceful it's so quiet but this is definitely not a swimming beach uh there's lots of shells it's kind of more muddy well worth it to come out here to the to the end just for a look just to see just to just to admire this landscape it's like almost otherworldly so cool amazing day trip from nakhon si tamarat right here from the end of lam talumpuk this is where i'm going to end the video an amazing day trip from nakhon
