About

The story of food is the story of people. And our mission on OTR is to document the dishes, recipes, and chefs that push boundaries, preserve old traditions, and most of all, deserve to be recorded. From our home in Bangkok, OTR is following the road wherever it leads, as we unwind the stories of what today is called "cuisine"- because when it comes to food, our shared history unfolds on every single plate.

Video Description

35 kilometers north of downtown Bangkok, the man-made island of Ko Kret is one of the area's most popular weekend getaways. Viewed as a tourist, it's a relaxing and charming place to spend an afternoon- but as a cook, it's...confusing. The local food on Ko Kret doesn't look like the everyday cuisine anywhere else- even right across the river on the mainland. So we set out to find out why that is, and who the people are who call this place home. - Please "Like" if you enjoy the video, subscribe to the channel, and turn on notifications! - Please consider supporting OTR on Patreon and thanks so much to anyone who does; your support truly keeps us going. http://www.patreon.com/OTRontheroad Website: http://www.OTRontheroad.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/otr.offtherails/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D - 0:00 - Introduction 1:28 - Contact 3:26 - Across the River 6:16 - Basics and the CBT 7:13 - The Start of the Island 8:54 - People Arrive on Ko Kret 12:47 - Lunch 14:58 - Khao Chae, Khanom Jeen, and Orchid Ginger 18:25 - The Ko Kret Market 22:17 - 1774 to 1993 25:30 - Lunch 2 30:30 - Sailing 32:30 - Khun Songsiri's House 36:00 - Chef Nan and Dinner 41:24 - The Island's Main Draw 44:20 - Credits and Post-Credits - Video Credits: https://youtu.be/6O_1ZRQSrAg?si=SkW0qAKX1p-8n7jU https://youtu.be/SW--vYD1Z2s?si=tIKfkbG71f7X_m3l https://youtu.be/8Wlu7FwrUZI?si=oYpHGCHbWXP6YmT0 https://youtu.be/cW0AlW4ae20?si=gt41eWpbr3Czzhy- https://youtu.be/PV-q-MmriHo?si=6zpzrfg0JvHc2Ymk https://youtu.be/rPrGcmxDwKQ?si=1lN9m1IdyyOR_dA8 https://youtu.be/ZlN6w6v3DCo?si=NNe9eKlsaB0_6k0v https://youtu.be/MuWTKCvR4Oo?si=xYaSH7sF_-jpy63F https://youtu.be/prXH0bF49nM?si=v6Mzpo8sq1Oo9xWG https://youtu.be/37qRFrTJPUE?si=3FJfRHbr22fiOkwe https://youtu.be/-1H1tECGyVA?si=G0o7a-80rSeD3Cln https://youtu.be/5gFYOL6XDWY?si=XZbU9Q5XF9ud2YrJ https://youtu.be/rAY3XrkQyGk?si=6XVHUImOfVxFdh8A https://youtu.be/kcV0zaYiyhY?si=XMaVDwkyQpE6ZodM https://youtu.be/nDFBUg6sOnU?si=VOtHZV60Fcypi9hm https://youtu.be/S5NxrGu9R08?si=i8HOrOzlerRszltB https://youtu.be/3CRJWy5zXvg?si=lI-ZgNMOfxfOnwJd https://youtu.be/pK2Xuvtq8v4?si=iMxL3gKZCcI8K4LH https://youtu.be/UHvdmu2ocwE?si=_T_LCDHQybPucHnM https://youtu.be/4r4eT1Txmd4?si=ZrgjmoyZUfEKKrU0 https://youtu.be/dVITTpIiXyE?si=pf6fKsYc4ksl7OOd https://youtu.be/WLuQ2UzyIlY?si=G9LsbJtF_0hyiIQM https://youtu.be/NIzgTxBNoqk?si=SUYNSaUqmDRwBGRO https://youtu.be/72fYcmp-PWU?si=mf40sRluJgt6Ts0I https://youtu.be/P5oMP4Q_hFI?si=sSHF5jdPhGJ6bLDk https://youtu.be/oHdBr0CIObI?si=6m9-_dqXacLC-51k https://youtu.be/oHdBr0CIObI?si=tb3CZSUUu8ObqT12 https://youtu.be/nDFBUg6sOnU?si=F50WgqPrN_6lPenb https://youtu.be/DhMUpdUysdU?si=AVa0rJADyyMubC70 https://youtu.be/-vWFFgbp350?si=r6cfPbPeve342L__ https://youtu.be/Zwcyx7Mlk7k?si=bz3q344pJOsnJZ74 https://youtu.be/sOBg3UCeWPs?si=xuhSmAr13LfRnOM6 https://youtu.be/YWQDvjmbEZY?si=FxvJKrdzr-ONy-Av https://youtu.be/s_3eDWIrJM8?si=hDHrFsQFDPy_xglA https://youtu.be/kpbBlyIKQMQ?si=fT93Xc13xHPApqN6
