• 62 Chiang Rai Must-Eat: The 100-Year-Old Khao Soi Recipe | อาหารเหนือ 100 ปี

  ad-free version and full transcriptions, vocab list here → ⁠patreon.com/c/ilearnThai⁠–Hidden in Chiang Rai, ข้าวซอยร้อยปี สูตรตาหงษ์ is a Northern Thai โอมากาเสะบ้าน ๆ (omakase-bâan-bâan, humble omakase) where every dish carries เรื่องราว (rʉ̂eang-raao, stories) as much as flavor.From the slow-braised ข้าวซอยหมู 100 ปี (kâo-soi mŭu nùeng-rói-bpee) to ancient recipes like น้ำเงี้ยวเชียงตุง and หมูนึ่งน้ำพริกข่า, each plate arrives with warmth, intention, and the depth of เครื่องเทศเหนือ (khrʉ̂ang-thét-nʉ̌a, Northern spices).No walk-ins, no calls—just a handful of seats, an intimate pace, and a chef who shares the soul of “บ้านเหนือ” (bâan-nʉ̌a, Northern home).It’s the kind of meal you remember not only for its รสเข้มข้น (rót khêm-khôn, bold flavor) but for the feeling that you’ve tasted tradition itself.–

• 61 Phuket: First Time in Thailand? Start Here! | ภูเก็ตครั้งแรก

  ad-free version and full transcriptions, vocab list here → ⁠patreon.com/c/ilearnThai⁠–Phuket is where ทะเลสวย (thà-lay sŭay, beautiful seas), อาหารอร่อย (aa-hăan à-ròi, great food), and ผู้คนอัธยาศัยดี (phûu-khon àt-tha-ya-săi dee, kind people) meet in one place.From the pastel streets of ภูเก็ตเก่า (Phuket Gào, Old Phuket Town) to Kata’s easy surf and sunsets at แหลมพรมเทพ (Lăem Phrom Thep), the island blends color, calm, and culture.And with bold รสชาติแบบบ้าน ๆ (rót-châat-bàap-bâan-bâan, homestyle flavors) in every local shop, Phuket quietly becomes the place you’ll want to กลับมาอีกครั้ง (glàp maa ìik-kráng, return to again).–

• 60 Nonthaburi — The Hidden Calm of Bangkok’s Neighbor

  ad-free version and full transcriptions, vocab list here → patreon.com/c/ilearnThai–Just across the Chao Phraya River, Nonthaburi feels far from Bangkok—quiet, warm, and full of ความเรียบง่าย (khwaam-rîiap-ngâai, simplicity).From เกาะเกร็ด (Koh Kret) with its Mon pottery and sweet ขนมถ้วย (khà-nŏm-thûuay) to riverside cafés where sunsets slow time down, the city blends heritage and modern life with real ความเป็นกันเอง (khwaam-bpen-gan-eeng, warmth).And then there’s the food—boat noodles, old family recipes, and รสชาติแบบบ้าน ๆ (rót-châat-bàap-bâan-bâan, homestyle flavor) shared by people who still greet strangers like neighbors.Nonthaburi is a reminder that sometimes ความสุขเล็ก ๆ (khwaam-sùk-lék-lék, small happiness) is waiting just one river away.–

• 59 Love of Siam — The Film That Opened Thailand’s Heart to BL Stories

  Full translation & vocab list here → patreon.com/c/ilearnThai–In 2007, Love of Siam didn’t just tell a love story—it changed Thai cinema.A quiet film that spoke softly but hit hard, it opened a new space for stories of same-sex love with real ความจริงใจ (khwaam-jing-jai, sincerity).It begins with มิตรภาพ (mít-dtrà-phâap, friendship): Mew & Tong, childhood neighbors who grow apart after tragedy—then meet again at Siam Square, where old feelings return and questions of ตัวตน (dtua-ton, identity) rise.Marketed as a boy-meets-girl romance, the reveal shocked audiences—but word of mouth praised its ความกล้า (khwaam-glâa, bravery), warmth, and emotional depth.The soundtrack—“กันและกัน,” “เพียงเธอ”—stitched past to present and lived on in people’s hearts.There’s no fairy-tale ending. Instead, a small wooden doll and a big ความเข้าใจ (khwaam-khâo-jai, understanding).More than a love story, it’s about family, loss, forgiveness—and it quietly ignited Thailand’s BL wave.–

• 58 Thailand’s Nature Haven of Flavors, Khao Yai | เขาใหญ่ รสชาติกลางขุนเขา

  Full translation & vocab list here → ⁠patreon.com/c/ilearnThai⁠–When people think of Khao Yai, they picture mountains, mist, and pretty cafés.Look closer, and you’ll find something richer: a food lover’s paradise where local Isaan heat, homespun Thai comfort, and farm-fresh goodness all share the same table.Start with legends like เป็นลาว (Pen Lao)—som tam pla ra, larb, and rustic soups that taste like they were ladled straight from someone’s kitchen. Then slow down at small farm cafés, where greens are picked that morning and cold-pressed juices glow green, orange, and beet-red in the afternoon light.Craving cozy Thai? ยุ้งข้าว เขาใหญ่ sets a countryside mood—tomyam steam, crispy seabass with fish sauce, chili-paste fried rice. Or dress it up at Prime 19, where a big, honest steak and a good glass of wine meet cool mountain air.In Khao Yai, the secret ingredient is care—grow it, make it, serve it with heart.You come for the views; you stay for the flavors… and you leave with full memory cards and a fuller stomach.–
