Exploring Thai Summer Foods (and Bangkok's Old City) on One of Thailand's Hottes

In some ways, we have it easy. We get to film what we want, when we want, which means in the middle of Thailand's worst heat wave ever, we spent three weeks filming mostly indoors and avoiding the brunt of the weather. But not everyone has that choice- and in a country where many people still make their living outside, and 80% of the population doesn't have access to air conditioning, we wanted to understand how food and drinks have been developed to counter the worst of the springtime heat. So we took a walk...a long walk, across the entirety of Bangkok's old city, eating and drinking whatever we found that could help us get through a day when the local temperatures hit some of the hottest on record. - 0:00 - Introduction 1:23 - Khao Chae and Hot Weather Foods 3:30 - The Plan 5:35 - Fresh Juice, 7-11, and Common Sense 7:12 - Yin and Yang 10:07 - Hainanese Thai 12:11 - Pomelo and Entering Rattanakosin 14:32 - Old Temples and the Wheels Start to Come Off 17:23 - Coke Slushy and Old History 20:08 - Khanom Jeen 21:53 - Ice, Ice, Baby 24:08 - Nattaphon Coconut Ice Cream 26:57 - Rama V's Khao Chae 30:15 - The Beginning of the End 32:55 - Home Stretch - Thank you so much for your support!
