Story: Travel by Mark Wiens
Hello friends, I hope you had a great day. It's Mark Wiens. I'm in the southern Thailand province of Panga.And to begin this video a really quick story. A couple nights ago, we were just driving down in Takua Pa and we just needed a really quick meal, we were hungry, Miko was tired and so we pulled off at a restaurant that we just saw, we had no idea. We ordered the food, the food was delicious and we met up with P'aey who is the chef, and he was so friendly, and he actually knew us. He watches our videos, and his food was spectacular. And so it just dawned on me, we have to make a video with P'aey from Khrua Nong restaurant.

And it would be so cool to go with him to the market as he buys the fresh seafood and so that's exactly what we are doing today. We're gonna go to the market with P'aey. Its restaurant is Kharwa Nong in Takwa Pa, Panga Province, Thailand and we are cooking and eating and I am going to share with you the amazing Southern Thai food in this video. (upbeat music) So we just arrived at the market in Takua Pa with P'aey. (speaking foreign language) And this is where he comes to do the shopping, where we are gonna buy some seafood, where especially we're gonna look for a big fish today at the market. So it's gonna be great to hang out today with P'aey (speaking foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) Wow. This is the main fish market.
The main market of Takua Pa, which is in Panga province in southern Thailand, just maybe about 15 minutes from Khao Lak and then this is where he comes to buy fish. He has an amazing selection of fish. Looks like some different snappers, looks like some different groupers, there's some red snapper, there's some-- (speaking foreign language) Ah, okay. What is this one? What is this one? Same family as that snapper? - Yes. (speaking foreign language) - But another fish thatwe're trying to look for is something called (speaking foreign language) which is from this area from the undermine here, - Monk fish. - [Mark] Monk fish. (speaking in foreign language) beautiful selection of fish. There's some groupers, there's some Barracuda, there's king mackerel Barracuda and fish is essential, seafood is essential inthe diet in these areas and essential for P'aey restaurant at Khrua Nong (speaking foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) This is amazing, amazing selection of fish. (speaking foreign language) He's already ordered he has already ordered the king Mackerels and the huge (speaking foreign language) like a sea bass and then we're also thinkingto maybe get one more big fish. That's unique. Oh, he just brought that one out.
This one is (speaking foreign language). Specific type of fish and the English name Monk fish? - Monk fish.- Monkfish or I think a type of Jack fish. It's about five and a half, almost six kilos. We're gonna get that one, yeah. Sounds amazing and (speaking foreign language) is one of the main dishes to make with the (speaking foreign language) fish. That's a beautiful fish, even if you look at the skin you can see it's like reflective, it's almost reflective.
And those are huge Tigerprawns, huge Tiger prawns. If you look at the bag, the could almost see like a zebra-striped patterngoing down their back. Tiger stripes. (speaking foreign language) (Shells clinking) (speaking foreign language) Yes, in South . Always in south. (speaking foreign language) Watch out for the little foot. Have a little foot onit that you cannot eat, that's like a little hard, hard part. (speaking foreign language) They're like sea snails. Yeah. - Oh. - What's amazing is thatcoming here in the morning at 7 a.m, everything is fresh from his boat to market, right here at the moment. All the fishes are fresh. All the fish coming in, all the seafood and there's just an abundanceof seafood here as well and so P'aey is just doing all of hisshopping for the restaurant. Getting all of the ingredients before we go back tothe restaurant and cook. (upbeat music)(knives sharpening) He's now just filleting, cutting up the fish puttingup the pieces of the (speaking foreign language) that were the main specificfish that we're getting, although P'aey is buying all those fish, but this one is unique and he's now just fileting it. And because it's such a flat fish, the fillets are massive. Look at the size of that fillet. It's like a surfboard. (speaking foreign language) I mean, it's like a boogie board, a body board. That's what it's calleda little body board. The flatness and the widthof that fillet it's huge. (upbeat music) (board banging) And as I was watching himchopping up that fish, P'aey he went to go buy some other things, I think some of the vegetables. I'll go try to find him and Ying is off to buy somesnacks around the market too. This is an amazing market though.
