Sichon (สิชล), Thailand - This is one of those pristine beach villages, that almost unseen Thailand, and what I loved so much about it was that it’s almost completely non-commercialized.
Ok, so my wife and I were spending some time in Nakhon Si Thammart, southern Thailand, visiting family. Nakhon Si Thammart happens to be one of my favorite provinces in Thailand for Thai food, known for being spicy and harsh, and you’ll find some amazing cuisine.
One day, we drove over to the tiny beach community village of Sichon (สิชล), I had heard about a small local fish market, and I was excited to check it out. We arrived at about 8 am, and it was one of those place where I got so excited because it was picture perfect. But then I saw all the empty trays of fish and I thought I had arrived too late because all the fish were gone. Luckily, an Aunty explained that the fishing boats hadn’t yet arrived, to my relief.
The fish market itself was beautiful, filled with friendly people, small delicious Thai street food snacks, and scenery to dream about. We had some patongko (ปาท่องโก๋) - 10 THB ($0.28), Chinese doughnuts and Khanom krok (ขนมครก) - 20 THB ($0.58), coconut griddle cakes, for breakfast, as we waited for the boats to come in.
Unfortunately the catch in Sichon (สิชล) today wasn’t the best, they were mostly small fish and nothing too exciting. But I did notice an Aunty selling some eels, and that caught my attention. The next thing you know, I was on the back of her motorbike, and we went back to her house to cook spicy chili eel (ผัดเผ็ดปลาไหล). It was truly an amazing experience seeing her cook the eel at her home in the village countryside.
For the rest of the morning we drove around Sichon, enjoying the stunning beach coastal scenery and finding a few interesting things along the way. They don’t really have many restaurants to choose from, so finally we found a small Halal eater on the side of the beach and went for it. Again, the Aunty’s were extremely friendly, and we ordered a few simple Thai dishes to eat along with the eel.
Sichon (สิชล) is a true off the beaten path destination in Thailand, and what I loved so much about it is that it’s so non-commercialized, peaceful and quiet, and the people in the community are so friendly and hospitable. It’s one of the most memorable places I’ve traveled in Thailand in a long time!

Tour of Amman, Jordan - Delicious JORDANIAN FOOD and Attractions!
Get more Amman travel tips, things to do, where to stay, and delicious food here:
On Day 3 of our trip to Jordan we stayed in Amman, and did lots of the major attractions in Amman, including the historical sites. We also explored downtown Amman, went to the local market, and at some more incredibly good food. Below is everything we did during this packed day of sightseeing in Amman.
1:10 - Shams El Balad Cafe - For breakfast we went to Shams El Balad Cafe, a very nice restaurant and cafe that specializes in local Jordanian food with a fresh and healthy, and also organic twist to it. The place itself is very nice, and sits on a hill overlooking the main downtown area of Amman. We ordered a variety of different food, including some manakish, which is a round of dough baked with toppings including cheese and herbs on top. I also really enjoyed the makdous, preserved eggplant stuffed with nuts, and a certain type of labneh with local herbs. Total price - 28 JD ($39.40) for 4 people
5:35 Amman Citadel - 3 JD ($4.22) - One of the most famous things to do in Amman is visit to Amman Citadel, which is the high point on the hill and formerly was one of the main areas of the city - the lookout and high place of Amman. Located at the Amman Citadel you’ll find layer upon layer of history, and can see all the different civilizations that have once called Amman home. I thought it was amazing, and I especially enjoyed the views of Amman from up there and the temple of Hercules.
7:38 Roman Amphitheater - 2 JD ($2.81) - Right down the hill from the Amman Citadel is the Roman Amphitheater, a stone theater carved into the side of the mountain. When we entered, there was a group of boys singing, and I decided to climb to the top for a view and I was amazing how the sound carried all the way to the top of the bleachers. An amazing historical site of visit.
8:54 Green Almonds and Downtown Amman - One of the best things to do in Amman in my opinion is to walk around downtown where all the action happens. There’s a big central market where you can buy just about anything you’re looking for, including a fresh wet market. When I visited Amman it happened to be almond season, and it was my first time to try green almonds. They were absolutely delicious, and tasted a bit like green apples.
13:01 Habibah Sweets - Probably one of the most famous things to eat in Amman is the kanefeh from a desserts spot in downtown called Habibah Sweets. There’s always a crowd of people standing outside waiting and eating kanafeh, which is a cheese based dessert. It’s pretty good, definitely a place you’ll need to visit in Amman if you enjoy food - especially for sweets. Price for 1 piece of kanafeh - 0.65 JD ($0.91)
14:22 Sufra Restaurant - For lunch we went to Sufra Restaurant, a very nice Jordanian food restaurant, located on Rainbow street. The food was excellent, but the main dish that really stood out to me was the Kofta bi tahini, a bed of minced meat, topped with potatoes and smothered in tahini sauce. Price - about 20 JD ($28.11) per person
19:50 Shawarma Reem and Amman Shawarma Street - Finally for dinner, we headed to what’s unofficially known as the shawarma street in Amman, where there’s about 8 different shawarma restaurants. One of the most famous is Shawarma Reem, for their beef and lamb shawarma - it was a perfect way to end the day.

Eating Thai Food with Andrew Zimmern in Bangkok!
Thank you to Andrew Zimmern ( Patrick Weiland, Erin, and the entire team for the opportunity to hang out and eat some of the best Thai food in Bangkok!
Eating Thai Food with Andrew Zimmern:
00:11 Lunch at home in Bangkok - Before going to meet up with Andrew Zimmern, I had a quick early lunch back at home. My meal included some tom yum pla too (Thai tom yum soup with mackerel) and a quick kai jeow (Thai omelet).
2:06 Meeting up with Andrew Zimmern - We headed to the Dusit Zoo in Bangkok to meet up with Andrew Zimmern, and after the TV film crew arrived, I jumped into a tuk tuk and we picked up Andrew. From there, we drove around in the tuk tuk getting to know each other and started heading to the Soei restaurant area.
3:46 Soei Restaurant ( - One of my all time favorite restaurants in Bangkok, and I was extrmeely excited to eat here with Andrew Zimmern. We ordered a few of my favorite dishes including Thai crab curry, and also tom yum pla too, which is the same dish I had eaten for breakfast at home as well. One of the main snacks to order at Soei are the deep fried crispy mackerel heads, and they were, as always, extraordinary - crispy all the way through, lightly salted, and incredibly flavorful. Soei served us yet again another outstanding Thai meal in Bangkok.
9:34 On our way to Ratchawat Market - Along with Soei being one of my favorite restaurants in Bangkok, Ratchawat is one of my favorite markets in Bangkok. We jumped back into the tuk tuk and drove over to Ratchawat Market. Our tuk tuk driver, whose name was P’Weera, took us first to one of his favorite street food stalls in the market, which was hot dogs cooked in wrap around buns. Andrew and I both agreed that they weren’t the best things we tried, but luckily there was a lot more to eat at the market. Our next stop was for some Thai street meat at the corner stall where we sampled northern Thai sausage, and some crispy pork belly.

Baan Kiriwong in Nakhon Si Thammarat Thailand
Baan Kiriwong is the kind of place where it’s easy to feel right at home. Located in the countryside outside of Nakhon Si Thammarat in southern Thailand, exploring this little village makes a great day trip for many reasons.
The village is best known as an ecotourism destination, and it was even awarded for such efforts in the 1998 Thailand Tourism Awards. The residents are mostly fruit farmers growing local fruits such as mangosteen, rambutan and durian. As such, the daily way of life is very laidback around here. You can rent a bicycle for next to nothing and take in the greenery and mountain views. There are also lots of cute cafés and restaurants where you can drink traditional Thai coffee or eat southern delicacies like fried chicken and sticky rice.
Making arts and crafts as souvenirs is another main source of income for Kiriwong residents. We went to a local fabric-dyer that makes and sells beautiful scarves, cloth purses and clothing. Everything is dyed organically using leaves and pieces of tree bark from around the region. Colorful scarf designs are made by freehand drawings using wax. The wax is removed by boiling the fabric, leaving a fabulous piece of cloth that can be used as a sarong, tablecloth or a tapestry for home. The scarves can be purchased here, and they are also shipped and sold around Southeast Asia too.
If you’re going to be in Nakhon Si Thammarat, make sure you stop over in Baan Kiriwong. It’s a local, authentic experience you won’t forget!

Remember to watch this lobster video in 4K for ultimate mouthwatering clarity!
Mark Wiens and Trevor James (The Food Ranger) - We had this idea to go on a spur of the moment road trip to Hua Hin (it’s about a 3 hour drive south of Bangkok) to eat a giant lobster. We set off in the middle of the morning and first stopped to explore a seafood market Mahachai (มหาชัย). For lunch we enjoyed some amazingly good Thai chicken massaman curry (มัสมั่นไก่).
We continued driving on to Hua Hin and arrived in the late afternoon, just in time for the Hua Hin walking street to open and the Thai seafood street food restaurant we were going to was just open as well.
Lung Ja Restaurant (ร้านลุงจ่า) is a seafood restaurant in Hua Hin that I had eaten at about 3 years before, but hadn’t been back. The owner remembered me (you can watch my previous video about the lobster here: It’s amazing to see the seafood they have - including King lobster, which I think is also rainbow lobster or spiny lobster. Additionally, they have some of the most massive tiger shrimp / prawns that you might ever seen in your entire life. Trevor James and I decided to order to giant lobsters (they were spiny rainbow lobsters) and two giant tiger prawns.
Watching them cook the lobsters was half of the fun, and it only built our hunger and anticipation. Eating lobster is one of the great culinary experiences you can ever have, and I love being able to eat lobster in Thailand at a non-fancy Thai street food restaurant where you are sitting open air to enjoy the atmosphere!
Eating 2.6 kg's of lobster and giant tiger prawns with Trevor was a food experience of a life time!
