Rating: 4.3; Vote: 3

Welcome to Pattani, Thailand! This is just a short clip video today to recognize and honor a man who might be the world s oldest street food vendor. Uncle, how old are you? 129 years old! Now here s the thing, he was born before Thailand started numbering the years, and so he doesn t have an official ID card. But what we do know is that his oldest son is 80 plus years old. So even if he s over 100 that s absolutely remarkable. Even the fact that he stands there all day, selling, and chatting is incredible. But not only does Uncle sell candy, he jogs every Friday around the bridge, and he rides the motorcycle. And he still makes the toffee himself starting at 3 am. It takes 3 hours to stir, and another two hours to pull and stretch out until it s ready. He also happens to love cracking jokes, and if you start talking with him, he ll laugh, he ll tell stories, and he ll start joking around. Beyond legendary, there s so much we can learn from Uncle, his lifestyle, his friendliness, and how he serves others. This is what I think is his recipe for a long life. Aganin, we can t verify he s 129 years old, but that s what he says! And no matter what, he s one of the world s oldest street food vendors without a doubt

Thai calendar was introduced in 1888-1889. If he was born before Thai calendar was ever created. He should be at least 131-132 old. If his oldest son was 80, then he should be atleast 50 years when he got married. I question the accuracy of his age, but I do believe he's veeeery old

His oldest kid has to be almost 100 years old unless he outlived some of his kids or he started having kids in his late 40 or early 50s. If his oldest kid is 80 then he was born when the man was 49?

That old guy's oldest son is 80 years. And he is 129 years(assuming he does not have an elder daughter. So he had his first child at 49! That does not add up.
