Thai Issan is actually mean Lao speakers ppl from Issan region, Issan is actually mean northeast in Sanskrit it's used to be call Hua Muang Laos and was part of Lao lanxang from mid 13th century to 1707, Esan is an ethic group of ppl from Nigeria, Africa. Lao population in Northeast Thailand is about 18 to 22 million out of 25 million ppl the rest are Mon-khmer, Malayu, hill tribes ppl, Vietnamese, variety of Chinese. Thai Issan food, Issan is Lao food is Lao foods, Thai Bangkok food is Lao food, Northern Thai food is Lao food, Southern Thai food is Lao food, etc, is because they're ethnic Lao came from mostly Laos they were the founders of Chiang Saen, Lan Na kingdom, Lanxang kingdom, Sukothai kingdom, Ayutthaya kingdom.

The dishes look very appetizing although I have a couple of questions. The first is: how would a novice to Thai cuisine tolerate the huge quantity of chiles? And don't they hurt later? I have had delicious Thai cuisine in Mexico and elsewhere, but never at the level of chili heat shown here. The other question is in regard to fermented fish entrails. I imagine that they are salted, or else they would rot and make you sick. On second thought, some of those dishes seem to be an umami bomb.

Mark. I'm so mad at you and Ying. You guys have ruined 'Thai' food for me for ever Just kidding. but seriously, I've tried eating Thai back in London like 3 times since our trip and I just keep wishing it will be as good as all the things we ate but nothing compares Thank you for taking us to this place. It's one of my favourite memories. Loved watching this vid now having been there. What a great little restaurant. Love you and Ying and my buddy Micah - Love, Pooshi and James.

Hi Mark, I found that place from another person's blog. You should warn people, that place is like a sauna. Food there is epicThe lady in the front I'd in charge and she's super nice and the staff will help you the best they can. Tell them not to make it too spicy. Not all of us can handle their spices like Mark. It's a bit of a walk from Silom. Get you google maps ready.

I've been watching your videos so often lately You inspire me to try new foods. I'm usually the type of person that eats one same dish at any restaurant. Once I find something good I never try anything new again. Since watching your videos I'm excited to try new foods I dream to visit Bangkok one day and try the crazy good looking food.

Mark, please tell about the rice types. It seems to be kept like a huge secret as nobody explained how to choose rice. When you come to the market how do you choose - is it a brand? As I understand it is a matter of place so there is no any recommendation or general rule to apply when choosing rice.

Going here for the second time, twice in a week. I had a hard time finding soi phipat 2 though, took a few tries. The easiest way to find it is to go to the Chong Nonsi BTS platform, find the 7-11 underneath. Follow the soi next to 7-11 and walk down a couple blocks and it's on the left.

I'm not a fan of tripe or liver but you made it sound so good i'm going to have to try it. I'm going to Thailand in Nov and staying around the corner from Som Tam Jay So so I can't wait to eat there and so many other places in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Thank you.

You tested the broth after your first bite? I can't deal with this lack of continuity Just kidding, laughing out loud(that's right, I spelled it. Great job, like when you got your little outtakes reel in the end too Thanks Mark and Ying.
