Very appropriate to have a video about the ancient culture right after Songkran

As this was released, I was just leaving Ayutthaya wth my family, on route from Chiang Mai to Hua Hin.<br>I pulled out your info about the Japanese and Portuguese quarters of Ayutthaya and impressed my family. 👊

Thank you for making this very informative video. My ancestors are one of those old families who built Ayutthaya and later move south to now Krungthep you mentioned. You had said imagine what someone like me would feel like. I can tell you that my personal feelings is that I am Very proud of being decedent of one of the most civilized cities of the world and I feel very sad that it was All destroyed by the War. My Siamese and Portuguese ancestors were those lived inside the wall which was All destroyed; no, after all these over 200 almost 300 years passed, I would never considered moving back to Ayutthaya. Parts of your narrative in the video especially in the end had brought tears in my eyes 😢.

I've thoroughly enjoyed this channel! I love how in depth you go on the cultures and where the foods come from. It give a lot more context and value to the foods you're exploring

The Boat Noodles debate is like so many foods. Italy didn't have tomato for over 3/4 of their recorded history but pizza is so strongly associated with Italy. Ramen is ubiquitous with Japan but only shows up in the last 100 years.

You must have so much fun doing the research for your channel. I have a major in Engish, a minor in biology and a PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary biology. I am searching to find a way to travel more for work without having to do the backbreaking field work anymore. Your channel gives me lots of ideas, not a vlogger but as a global nomad!

I think people would benefit if you commented on the difference between shrimp and prawns.
