Street Food Tour - FRIED CHILI CHICKEN!! 🌶️ Giant Chinese Food at the GOLDEN TRIANGLE!

GOLDEN TRIANGLE (Chiang Rai เชียงราย,, Thailand) - Welcome to the Golden Triangle, a strategic area in Southeast Asia where the borders of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar, all come together, separated by rivers. It’s a bit of an infamous region of the world, due to its history of drug trafficking and the production of opium poppy. However, many of the Hill Tribe communities within Thailand have given up growing opium now and instead grow coffee or tea. #ChiangRai #Thailand #streetfood

Today, we’re going on a Thai and Chinese street food tour of the Golden Triangle area of Thailand. First, we’ll start by touring the Golden Triangle park and area, and getting an up close view of the region. Then to really find delicious street food, you need to go downstream a few kilometers to the biggest main town called Chiang Saen (เชียงแสน). I really loved this town, so peaceful and quiet, and right along the banks of the Mekong River. There happens to be an amazing Chinese food restaurant, and some fantastic street food in the evening along the river.

Kiao Siang Hai Restaurant (ร้านอาหารเกี้ยวเซี่ยงไฮ้) - When you’re in Chiang Saen at the Golden Triangle, this restaurant is a must. They serve properly good and comforting Chinese food, with a mix, but mainly Sichuan style Chinese food. I read in Lonely Planet, that this restaurant is very popular especially with Chinese boat crews who are sailing down the Mekong River (though not at the time of filming this video as the border of Thailand were still closed). Food was outstanding, and I especially loved the deep fried chili chicken.
Total price - 1,230 THB ($41.14) for everything

Mekong dinner street food - After a fantastic afternoon in Chiang Saen, visiting some of the historical monuments, we then headed back to the Mekong Riverside for dinner. In the evening you’ll find a bunch of street food stall, that all pretty much have the same menu of pounded salads, freshwater shrimp, Mekong River fish, and the highlight - snake head fish roasted in bamboo. Food was delicious, and the atmosphere was so perfect on the Mekong River. An amazing meal and time to relax.
Total price - 540 THB ($18.06)

The Golden Triangle is a very unique area to visit in Thailand, with so much history to learn about. I would recommend staying and eating through Chiang Saen when you’re in the area.

Thank you for watching this Chinese and Thai street food tour at the Golden Triangle!

Wore my 'Not spicy, not eating' shirt out today here in Perth, Western Australia. Had 5 people point and yell, 'Mark Wiens!'. High fived strangers. Was a great day.

[ml.r]

Something about his videos just makes me feel so relaxed and happy. He just clears my mind from everything. The scenery, the food, and most importantly the nice people and his personality. Keep making us happy Mark. All the best

[excellentnkuna]

I always watch a Mark Wiens video whenever eating in the house.

[caseyley]

Mark, I just want to say a huge thank you to you and to Ying and Micah. Your content has played a huge part in keeping me sane during the craziness of the last year. So happy your family is well and that you're still able to create fun, tasty content. Looking forward to a much better year and wishing you all health and happiness. <3

[nickonwheels]

I love that we get knowledge in the midst of your videos, so entertaining and at the same time we get to see the beauty and learn about the cultures, thank you for making our day

[thefoodtouristvlogs]

When it comes to food vlogging, Mark Weins is the ultimate standard. I will try to cook the food you’ve eaten!

[swissfoodie]

That Chinese meal looks amazing.I love Xiaolongbao, and the chili oil also looks great. Man, I miss travelling so much ! Thanks Mark for all those great videos, which allow us to "travel" in this horrible time.

[reneethomas]

even my 12 year old granddaughter knows who Mr Weins is💞haha when she was a lil girl she would ask if we were going to watch her friend with the backpack eat weird food🤗now of course she knows him by name..we love him and watch him always sometimes the same episode more than twice

Another great video Mark! Over the years I have spent a month in Chiang Saen; seeing your video made me long to be back. Most striking is the lack of people at the Golden Triangle Park and the lack of traffic along the river road in Chiang Saen. Both these locations are always teaming with tourists and locals enjoying this unique spot. COVID International travel restrictions have left this area a ghost town. If you are currently in Thailand, enjoy the Triangle under these unusually quiet conditions and PLEASE generously support the local merchants who are clearly struggling. I hope to return in late 2021 and as much as I would enjoy the serenity of no tourist traffic, I hope to see many more visitors supporting the local people. Thank you Mark for all your uplifting videos!

[MyWalkLondon]

I might be lazy sometimes but whenever I see Mark Wiens Video, I have to click and watch it whole heartedly.

[guywhosleepallday]

I enjoy watching your kid grow through out the channel. Its a blessing mark.

[behappiday]

Thank you Mark for taking me on this journey! Absolutely amazing! Much love.

[edenzeriunwase]

What an amazing world we live in. And humans can be a beautiful creative species :). We often sadly forget it. Thank you, Mark, for reminding us. Stay happy and stay safe!

[aleeburitz]

For all of us that can't travel to see and experience such beauty...
We thank you!

[daveryandirect]

I love the love you have. Not only for the food, but your adopted country and most importantly your lovely family. Mika is going to have some wonderful memories 👍🏻

[Lucybell]

Mark's statement of "Those chilis are decently spicy" in the fried chicken and chilis means I would be on the floor crying because it's so spicy! :D

[pattybunde]

I love the way Mark likes to layer his flavors and take each dish to another level of taste
