Grab a copy of my Eating Thai Food Guide here: Pad Thai is quite obviously one of the most popular Thai dishes around the world. While there are so many different Thai dishes to consume where you're in Bangkok, Pad Thai is still a local favorite and consumed widely throughout the country. So what exactly is this super famous Thai noodle dish? Let me explain. There are many different variations, but normally it all begins with an extremely hot wok that's coated in oil before big meaty shrimp go in. They are seared on high heat for a few moments before the noodles, which are dried Thai rice noodles, are added to the wok. The mixture is then topped with all sorts of different sauces and oils before being vigorously stir fried so the heat is equally distributed throughout the entire noodle dish. Once the noodles have reached a certain consistency, they are then topped with all the goodies - and this has to do with what particular order has been made. Many Pad Thai dishes include small pieces of tofu, leeks, baby shrimp among other things. The last essential step in making these fried noodles is pushing the entire mess of noodles to one side of the wok and cracking in a bunch of eggs which are scrambled and mixed with the egg. That is the basic cooking method Pad Thai Thip Samai (Pad Thai Pratu Pi) ) is one of the most well known Pad Thai restaurants in all of Bangkok both for locals and even for visitor foreigners. One a local small eatery, the restaurant has turned into a literal pilgrimage site for lovers of the dish. Now I'm not normally a huge fan of Pad Thai, but when it's a special opportunity or chance I will take it. So one evening we ventured to Thip Samai ) to get a sample. The most impressive thing about the restaurant is that they still cook all their noodles right along the street so you can stand and watch them as they make huge batches of Thai noodles over flaming hot coals. One of the best things about the restaurant is that they have something I like to call the gift wrapping station. Once a wok of the noodles are finished, depending on what version a customer has order, the noodles will then get wrapped like a gift in a very thin layer of beaten egg for the final touch. Then once the Pad Thai is fully finished, the cooks scoop them onto big plates and either serve them to customers that are dining in or put the noodles in takeaway to go containers. So how did it taste? Well I order two different versions, one had just big shrimp and was wrapped in fried egg and the other was orange red in color because of jumbo prawn head juice, known in Thai as man goong. Again, I'm not the biggest fan of Pad Thai, but I must say the experience eating at Bangkok's Thip Samai ) was fantastic. Getting to watch the chef's at work and then ending things off with piping hot meal was a great way to spend the evening. If you are go, here's all the information you'll need to eat and get there. Prices: 70 THB Address: 313 313 Thanon Mahachai, Phra Nakorn Hours: 5 pm - 3 am daily

I had high expectations for Thai food after watching all of your videos, but funny enough, I'm currently staying in Bangkok and I've had better Thai foods elsewhere in the world. The best food I've tried ever since I got here was. well french fries that came on the side with the chicken burger. I've bought Pad Thai from a street vendor once and it was just too sweet and bland. Would really like to try this place. How do I get to this place from Democracy Monument?

This must be one of your very best videos. Inspired photography, and just fantastic all around. Thanks much. I have collected all the pad thai and kuaytiaw khua kai clips on Youtube + articles. Used to cook at a Thai-Lao restaurant owned by a Laotian, hence my interest. This is the finest clip I have seen, simply inspired. Spent my 2 days in BKK sampling every type of green curry, just to learn nuances, and need to spend years to even touch first base

My favorite Pad Thai Place is just off Sukhumwit. a small side street, before you getto Soi 4. Push your way through the lady boys, and for 30 baht. the best Pad Thai I've ever had. For 40-50 baht, you can have luscious shrimp pad thai. No where in thailand have I had such great pad thai. I love that fish place you mentioned outside the supermarket. I have to buy and print out your guide this year.

I finally went to this place today and tried their superb pad thai Definetely a lot better than the street vendor's near where I'm staying, though a bit more expensive (street vendor near my place = 40 baht, Thip Samai = 70 baht. The food was delicious and it was fun to watch them cooking, but I have to be honest I was a little bit worried the sparks from the cooking fire might burn my clothes.

In the video the restaurant look so small, but it was actually more spacious than it looks on the video. There's also a pretty good pad thai place by Thong Lo on either soy 55 or 57. My bill came out to be 90 baht there, but I had a cup of water so that might have affected the price and the area also I think it's more expensive to rent a place there.

I went there and the our hotel was a 5 minute walk to thipsamai, they say its the best pad thai in thailand, or probably in the whole world. I didnt enjoy it but i got satisfied as a lot people said it was the best pad thai. Also michelin star Jay Fai cooks near there although thipsamai serves a lot more of customers.

hello. i am just wondering if you know and could recommend any good thai restaurants such as the above but that is halal? we know that Nana in particular have a lot of middle eastern restaurants but we don't want to travel down to thailand and have to eat hummus instead of pad thai. :D thank you in advance

You're welcome, thanks for watching. I'm not sure how it's so orange, but I saw him add an orange sauce to it, and also in the second version they add the juice from the head of a giant prawn. I'm not sure about the cholesterol in Pad Thai, but it's definitely not the healthiest Thai dish

I like your thumbnails with big fonts. Do you have to be a youtube partner to pick your own customized thumbnails? But you videos have no ads, so how can you get away without ads and still be a partner with youtube? Also nice camera shots. Do you have a camera man besides yourself?

Mark. I have a question for you. It seems to me that you are taking massive bites of food and shoving them into your mouth. Is this culturally acceptable? I know in some Asian countries, slurping one's soup, noisily is considered good manners. I just wondered?
