Emal for work: braden@smallscreenmarketing.com Today I'mI'm heading away from the tourist areas of Sukhumvit, Silom and Khaosan Road to the new (ish) Thonburi Market Place which houses Bangkok's BIGGEST SEAFOOD MARKET! It's also got what I'm lead to believe is Bangkok's biggest food court by area (I'm more than happy to be corrected on that!) and I would say it's definitely the cleanest market that I've been to in Bangkok. I'm joined today by my partner in crime @hungrytoexplore as well as my man @keisone to eat some delicious fresh Thai seafood dishes as well as some Thai street food classics. It's a little bit of a mission out to Thonburi Market Place but I'd say it's well worth the trip.

Iβm obsessed with Thai street food and itβs that obsession that led me to start this YouTube channel. I want to share my favourite hidden spots in Bangkok and the rest of Thailand so you can fall in love with authentic, local Thai food as much as I have! If you love seeing off the beaten path, non-touristy, local life and authentic local life in Bangkok and Thailand then this is the channel for you. If go go bars on the Sukhumvit Road are more your thing (Iβm not judging) then maybe not!
