I steered my sister and brother in law to this restaurant today - they are in Thailand on honeymoon and for the last couple of days were in Krabi town. They had the dry curry and stink beans and a few other dishes and LOVED it from the photos they sent me! They even did a Mark Wiens impression photo!
new subscriber here - I've watched all your videos in a span of like 2 days! Your attitude and passion are infectious, and your unique style when it comes to critiquing/describing different dishes is one of a kind!
Being that your wife is from Thailand, I would love to hear/see her opinion of the restaurants you go to while still there. It's always nice to hear from someone who knows there homeland well enough to tell you what's good and what's not. Also, thanks for another great video Mark. I do a lot of traveling, but you make me want to do more. So thank you for that. :)
Just visited Nong Joke a week ago. Nong Joke now has English version menu book. We order 7 kind of Southern Thai style dishes. Tasty and excellent, especially 'sataw' .. yummy. I will visit this resto again whenever I visit Krabi. Thanks Mark
After all these years of watching you I finally took the time to check out your blog (sorry it took so long!) and I like that you encourage people (big thumbs up!) but I dont think that people appreciate a talent that you have which is a HUGE part of your success and which you are VERY modest about (as in - you dont seem mention it anywhere) - you are an excellent hybrid food photographer (still and video). Its clear from watching your early videos and then going forward how much hard work you have put into learning photography, videography and sound capture. These can be difficult learning curves for many people... you make it look easy!
Its a joy to see Mark delighted with his and Yings favorite foods. I have come to gauge how delighted Mark is by the degree of tilt of the head to the right.
Unique delivery, the honesty of the presenter really shines through along with the genuine interest he has in the topic. Nice, i like it. *Worthy !* (And thats rare these days ;)
I know the food do look delicious and your time taking them and eating them slowly and your way of enjoying them make those food million times way delicious than they look bravo mark
I have eaten a lot of variety vegetables in my life, pretty much all the Asian ones as well, but, there are number of vegetables that Mark eats which I had never seen before! I am looking forward to try those! This is why the Thai people are healthier than most of us Americans.
Another fantastic video Mark . I've never seen anyone enjoy their food like you 😃 My wife and I will be in Krabi over new years break .CAN'T WAIT . Cheers mate
@mark wiens, thank you so much for this video. My girlfriend and I just had one of the best meals ever at Nong joke. The 'khua Klink moo' is out of this world!!!
Mark and Ying, Oh how sweet a story about Ying. Oh the peppercorns, they look yummy! That was quite a feast and all dishes were different. Never had stink beans. Now I will have to try. TFS :)
Nice that you return to your beginnings as a couple. Even better that you enjoy the food so very much! I would be so willing to try the inside of a banana tree! Love the videos as always.
Mark, a huge heartfelt thank you for the fantastic job you are doing showcasing these food gems around asia. I've just returned from a 2 month trip around SE Asia with friends, where we used your videos as our guide, and each cafe, hole-in-the wall and street stall exceeded every expectation. Looking forward to your Japan series. Bon apetite!
+Mark Wiens 1:20 it's Kaffir Lime leaf , it's really great with any hot and spicy stir fried because it aroma is amazing it's Citrus but ppl in Thailand not eat it fruit only leaf stem and skin fruit are used . incredible aroma .

I love watching your videos. All the food is interesting. and because of you and ying. my boyfriend and i are thinking about honeymooning in one of the places you visited, especially the walk on the beach you put up a few days ago. Im in the U.S. and the food is nothing like it looks over there. i cant wait to try some.
Hello Mark and Ying, I am very pleased to see this new video Gaeng Som is one of the traditional dishes of Thailand. It can be found on many menus. But a very good Gaeng Som there are also not to be found anywhere. Mackerel is an underrated fish in many countries. He is so delicious, special I love grilled him, or in Curry. The food looks delicious, I get hunger immediately. Great video as always. Keep it up, thumbs up! You are great
Mark, I've been following you since I stumbled upon the creamy mango ice cream you had in India (I'm dying to have some!!) I immediately subscribed when I saw that you had several videos of food in Vietnam. My family are from Vietnam, but I've since been away from them, and I don't know much about the food culture there- only the Viet food culture here in the states (pho...spring rolls, all the general stuff). Thank you for diversifying my knowledge on more region's food and culture. It's been incredible watching your videos, and I always look forward to seeing you upload a new one on RU-vid. Thank you, and keep it up!!
ONE WORD FOR MARKS, VIDEO ABOUT HIS WIFES BIRTHPLACE AND HER FAVORITE RESTARAUNT IN TAILAND AND THE FOOD REVIEWS AWSOME! WITH RESPECT TO YOU MARK AND YOUR WIFE YING. MR.MOLINA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA 619

OMG that web oozing out of the banana stem !! now that's something you don't see everyday. Gosh the food looks amazing, I'd spend a whole day at this restaurant.
I can't wait to see your video from Japan since I was born there!!! Wow your meals always looks so amazing and makes me so hungry...the fish would be my favorite!!! Thank you for sharing this with us!!!
Wow each dish was so unique, and looked tasty. I got really bad food poisoning when I went to Thailand so didn't get to eat as much as I wanted. Thanks for sharing =)
Hii Mark...I'm a great fan of you and i enjoy all your videos...I'm visiting Bangkok soon and i would like to have the insanely good thai street food...As this is my first trip to thailand i don't know the places to eat...Please share the top 5 street food places in Bangkok
What are the other vegetable leafs next to the banana stump call? I love your videos. There are so many foods I need to try and vegetables I've never seen before.
i can tell how well you like something by the "extended" closed eyes, just before a slight tilt of your head to the right. the look tells it all! cheers
Hi. Actually last week I visit Nong Jok Restaurant, Krabi. And.. as for me, it is not easy taste. I think i need to get this food at least 10 times to enjoy the taste... ^^;;;
