CHIANG RAI, THAILAND - Welcome to Lanjia Lodge in the Chiang Rai province of Northern Thailand. What s amazing about Lanjia Lodge is that when you stay there, you are directly supporting two of the local Hill Tribe communities - a Hmong village and a Lahu village. Today, we ve been invited for lunch at the home of the Lahu Shaman. Him and his family shared with us a local Lahu food meal, and it was spectacular. But really quickly, who are the Lahu people? The Lahu are a people group who originally trace their ancestry back to southern China, Yunnan. In Thailand, the Lahu are known as one of the main Hill Tribes, often living in remote mountainous villages in Northern Thailand. So today, we headed to the house of the local Lahu Shaman, where he and his family made lunch. There were a number of dishes, including, greens with pork, wild jungle banana blossom with pork, bamboo shoots, and finally rice steamed in a hollowed out log. It was a fantastic home cooked meal, and the dish that probably stood out the most to me was the wild banana flower blossoms - so milky and fresh. Additionally, similar to many Hill Tribes in Thailand, the traditional spoon is more like a natural spork, made from a joint of bamboo that can be used as a spoon, fork, and mini cup, all at the same time. One of the most convenient way to eat ever! Huge thank you to Lanjia Lodge for arranging this. Highly recommended. The lodge is incredibly beautiful and relaxing. We loved our stay

I enjoy watching your videos. I'm working my way through all your past videos. So far there's only one I couldn't finish watching because of the animal that was cooked. I don't remember which country but, it's the one that had cooked guinea pigs. I wish you would include Mingh and Micah more in the videos. You eat alot of things that I would never eat. Keep on filming.

I just love this simple style of cooking. Just over charcoal and fire wood. It just connects you more to the food you are preparing and it makes the whole experience so much more enjoyable. At our home I also cook on a charcoal stove mostly. Now just need to check out some of these hill tribe recipes. Sounds super-exciting. Thanks for sharing, Mark.

We do use the baby bananas too which are at the base of every petal of the banana flower. after reaching the core then we cut the inner most part of the banana flower. Everything comes into use. Although it is a tedious process. but everyone enjoys doing it. Thanks for sharing the video, Got a glimpse into a different type of cooking.

I can't wait until I leave out of the U. S. and get access to so many other different food & spices. I hate the fact that they just want to throw a bunch of junk food at us. Being that I'm such a foodie already, Mark's videos defintely help to give me inspiration and something to look forward to.

I hope Thailand does not get too cold, the buildings lack insulation from cold: (

I'm always been curious about people that live in the mountains in Mexico like the Huicholes. They come down to the city to sell their natural medicines but would like to know about their food and living.
