Day 4 (Trat ตราด): Eastern Thailand Food and Travel Tour. Watch all 8 videos here:
Trat (ตราด) is a beautiful tropical province in Eastern Thailand, home to a wonderful culture and lots of delicious food. But one of the best places to eat Thai food is in someone’s home, home cooked food is the best. So today we had the opportunity to visit a village in Trat, forage for a few ingredients, and cook some amazing, very local regional specialities.
Baan Huai Raeng (บ้านห้วยแร้ง) – This is a beautiful tropical village, and they also offer home-stays and cultural tourism. I contacted them to arrange a food experience, and I think they did a fantastic job.
Khao haw kab mak (ข้าวห่อกาบหมาก) – This is the first dish that Aunty made, a mix of fried rice and ingredients all within a banana leaf and another outer wrapper. It was a delicious mix, soothing in the morning.
Khanom jeen sao nam (ขนมจีนซาวน้ำ) – This wasn’t planned at all, but Uncle was planning for another group and decided to make a dish for all of us to eat – khanom jeen sao nam. This is a Royal Thai food dish, that’s not common to find, and it was delicious.
HEre are the two main regional Thai food dishes we cooked:
Sour curry with local vine called sandan (แกงส้มใบสันดาน) – I still can’t find the name in English of the local vine, and they made a sour curry with fish and shrimp. Awesome dish.
Gaeng kradom (แกงกระดอม) – The little fruit is called Gymnopetalum chinense in English and it’s bitter tasting. They made a curry with shrimp and curry paste. It was awesome, I loved the bitterness.
Interesting ingredients:
Chamuang (ชมวง) – gacinia cowa
Bai sandan (ใบสันดาน) – local vine
Kradom (กระดอม) – Gymnopetalum chinense
It was a fantastic day in Trat, exploring regional Thai food and unique dishes and ingredients in the village!

"Oh Yeah! Look at that ant!" smack! I love Mark. So excited about everything!

What an amazing family! Their compound is so beautiful and perfect, everything they need, fruit, vegetables, access to the river to forage and fish, just perfect. It makes me want to move to Thailand and live in the country! Question, Are off grid tours like this available to regular tourists? It would be awesome to drive out and spend time with a family like this, cooking and eating this fantastic, clean food! Thanks for the great post, Mark!

Thanks&MarkWiens@ for sharing videos////
How long have you lived in Thailand, Mark? Did you take any formal training in the Thai language? Do you read and write it, as well? You seem to be quite fluent!
Mark wiens ! We love you :)))))
you made me homesick Mark because my part of family they're living at Tart, but I living in New Zealand.
Please keep doing what you do it's amazing every episodes. Mun
you meet the nicest people. the food looked very good.I believe that if you were there in the 60's there would not have been a conflict.
คนในบ้านหลังนี้เขาพูดภาษาอะไรกันคะ ฟังเหมือนภาษาเขมร ไม่รู้ว่าใช่หรือเปล่า
ฝากถึงผู้ชายที่กินขนมจีนซาวน้ำด้วยว่า คนไทยเวลากินข้าวเขาจะถอดหมวกค่ะ ถึงจะเรียกว่าคนมีมารยาท
ห่อข้าว คืออาหารที่คนโบราณห่อให้คนเดินทางได้กินเวลาหิว คนไปทำไร่ทำนา คนเข้าป่าล่าสัตว์ คนเดินทางไกลไปต่างเมือง จะมีห่อข้าวที่คนทางบ้านเตรียมไว้ให้ค่ะ
what a beautiful place and house!
Lazy bum
Brother Mark, courage. I know the garlic might not be as appetizing as you look, but keep it up. If it is same garlic we use, and for it to be raw, added with ginger, you definitely have a right to sweat and move the camera (13:10 – 13:20). God Bless you.
