today we will do without unnecessary introductions, now you will understand why. good morning, i'm in krung, now, i'm in krung, thepmah, nakorn , amon, rotanoxin, mahintara, yutaya, mahadelok, pop, naprorat, radchita.

compassit, friends, you just heard the name of the city we arrived in in the local language, but now briefly in a simple way: good morning, i’m in bangkok, bangkok is the capital of thailand, this city definitely has its own face, its own charm , here in some amazing way traditions and ceremonialism cleverly coexist completely modern, bold, daring, how many videos i saw, how people were afraid to take a step on such a transparent floor, and i thought, how is it possible, is it really scary, now i myself, oh, i'm afraid, the seventy-eighth floor, and hoo-hoo.

by the way, the way the thais themselves perceive bangkok, it seems to me, is largely reflected in the translation of the very classic name of the city from thirty difficult to pronounce words, the city of angels, the great city, the residence of the emerald buddha, the impregnable city, the great capital of the world, and so on, of course, not everything. in general, don’t say anything, but bangkok is a city with pepper. but let’s put aside the thrill for a while, let’s first go over the iconic sights, although, as you already understand, there are such names here, as if not simple-haired, for example, the vinchama popha temple, which was built by order of king chulalankorn, phew, they say the king delved into all the nuances of construction, and about the slave and the architect of the temple , who was also his brother, literally spent the night at the construction site, it is not surprising that the temple

turned out to be so beautiful and elegant. by the way, marble for the temple was delivered all the way from tuscany. and for this temple, porcelain was already brought from china. to be more precise, the porcelain dishes were simply lifted from a sunken chinese ship that was heading to bangok and used to decorate the temple. at least that's what one version says. take a closer look, in some places there are literally plates built into the walls and a local custom, they say, if you crawl under the king’s bed, you will be lucky, well, let’s check it out, and this, by the way, is also a real working temple, the temple of the dragon. yes, in such a tight embrace of a sacred animal, a temple for sure reliable. well, now it’s time

to return to the promised peppercorn, attention, get your taste buds ready. hello, i'm zhenya, what's your name? i'm top. oh, so you're just a cool cook, what's the name of such a cook? thank you, listen, i want to know everything about tom yam soup, it's crazy. all over the world, in russia they also love it, oh yes, tom yam is like the gastronomic face of thailand, but they really eat it everywhere, and in general tom yam is a century old, a real legend, but the fact that it is so loved all over the world, you're pleased, you're joking, of course, correct thai, how is it? it is impossible without lemon grass, coriander and lime leaves and golangal root. listen, why did i think that tom yum is, first of all, coconut milk.

this is a popular misconception, coconut milk is an option, you can simply add it, the main thing is the base of the soup: the broth is boiled on the heads of shrimp, they have a very aromatic oil inside, by the way it is also called thai ginger and we tear up the lime leaves, oh yes , just such a lemon aroma i see this all right in large pieces, you cut them like this they don’t eat the ingredients anyway, they create a bouquet of aromas and tastes, they give it all to the alemon broth , by the way, the healthy broth has boiled , which means we put ours in there oh, a different aroma came out, well, a couple of minutes later, we throw in some more shrimp and mushrooms, by the way, here you go second discovery after coconut milk. tom yum can be made not only with seafood, but with beef, chicken or pork, the point is that this soup can be

prepared by any housewife at any time. tell me, how do we translate? tom means to cook. and yam is a spicy mixture or salad. spicy in general , almost... the main principle of tom'yam, our national food should be spicy, here, as you understand, there are no options for what this is connected with, at least for us it is tasty, and it is also a kind of thermoregulation thai, spicy food activates it, you start to sweat more and cool down, it’s convenient, it’s still hot here, in our makeshift kitchen it was also getting hotter, pepper, chili came in, we’re cooking, if anything is a mildly spicy option, for the thais this is not very good spicy, but for... me i'm sure it's it will rip your eyes out at how many peppers he has chopped, but this is nonsense, look, friends, and this is another pepper, or rather a paste based on pepper, of course, chili, add it to the soup, and then pour in coconut milk and fish sauce,

squeeze out the juice lime and put chopped coriander leaves under the finale, oh, how spicy, very spicy, it’s still weak, well, it’s a very aromatic soup, i can feel everything right here, all the seasonings, all the herbs, and most of all i feel the pepper, top, thank you great, you are a real top, thank you, in general in bangkok you go far for thrills and really it’s not necessary, well, we went out, say, for a walk with my friend kasim, a great... expert on the city, and immediately met some very unusual passers-by. wow, is this varan? yes, this is varan. oh, he's the fourth in this park. and this,

by the way, is still a baby, varan’s cub. listen, well, in the center of the city, where there are a lot of people, children, monitor lizards are just walking around. i thought they were dangerous. nobody is afraid of them here; they have learned to live together. fish, thunderstorms, birds, people are of little interest, and such a monitor lizard is generally inconspicuous, you won’t find it right away, oh it’s so big, it’s still medium-sized, it’s looking out for prey or something, it looks generally so -so, it’s quite a scary animal, well, yes, especially for those who are afraid of snakes, it’s a mixture of a snake and a crocodile, although you keep an eye out for it. kind of cute, or you want, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come here, swim, in general, they can generally attack a person, theoretically, of course, they can, in general their hunting style in nature is very curious, the monitor lizard bites the victim and waits a couple of hours until she dies from the bite,

such a poisonous bite, yes, dangerous bacteria in the mouth, the blood is immediately infected, what should you do if you are suddenly bitten by a monitor lizard, for example, this is of course rare, but if it happens. you need to immediately run to the doctor, and then most likely he will prescribe antibiotics, but there are some rules for the residents of bangkok, this is how you need to behave with a monitor lizard, the main thing is not to get closer to them than a couple of meters, that’s all, then monitor lizards are real safe, but how long have monitor lizards been living like this in bangkok next to people? they lived here long before people, the conditions here are good for them, there are many canals, so bangok - this is their home by right; in general, varanas are our great helpers. they are a kind of orderlies, they eat carrion and remains, and thus clean water bodies and the surrounding area. and what personally surprises you most about monitor lizards? i heard, for example, that he may not eat for 2-3 months, but at one time he is able to eat a portion of 60% of his weight. this is such a beast. wow,

hello, thai weddings, weddings? yes, from the water, at the tree, look. oh, there, i see. oh, wow, he turns out in water, on land, in trees, in general he can live everywhere, yes, but he can attack like that from a tree, yes, powerfully. that's it, thank you, let's go, there are so many beautiful things, but he wants... something local, colorful, what a beauty, hello, why do some elephants

have their trunks up, and some down, up, for good luck, yes, it turns out, it’s better to choose with the trunk up, listen, how beautiful, and this is one of the symbols of thailand , of course, by the way, handmade, so, well, now i ’ll choose souvenirs, i really like these little ones, 181, two for 300 , so be it, not on the market or something, a gift for my daughters, hello, what beautiful plates, what are they made of? made of coconut, oh, exactly, ho-ho-ho , how original, so, this one lasts for a long time, long, the coconut is durable, it can only break if dropped in a big way. and if i take five, will there be a discount? you take five , the sixth is free, oh,

i bought very cool souvenirs, it seems to me, wow, oh, apparently he is also hot, like me, the spar is flowing, very hot. it’s very hot, can i sit, friends, it’s only 43°, but because of the humidity of 95% it feels like 53° ้ จน คน จน เป็น คน

มีของดอนใจลอยคือมีลองใครลองเจ็บ ปวดว่ า ราว มา แล้ว ที่ ใน จํา จุด ใจ the next activity is very popular here, i will need a hammer and chisels, wood carving, no, making sculptures from stone, no matter how it is, massage, this is where the thrill literally begins, hello, good afternoon, listen, i couldn’t even imagine that a massage could be done with a hammer, not only can it be done, it’s necessary, it’s

a very useful massage that restores the entire musculoskeletal system, by the way, it’s called it is toxin, the current is the sound of the blow on wood, and sen - energy lines in the human body, i can’t understand why a hammer is still needed, with a hammer you can do something that cannot be done with your hands, if a regular massage affects the muscles shallowly, then it is from hitting the hammer with a tree, an impulse is created that passes through the necessary lines and relaxes even the deepest muscles. this must be some very ancient technique. yes, you're right, it is believed that the foundations of technology were laid by hermits in the north of thailand, presumably seven centuries ago, and already in in the second half of the last century, monks discovered this information, processed it based on scientific knowledge and basic anatomy, and we received hammer massage in its modern form.

by the way, on the altar is the founder of thai massage and medicine in general, we believe in him as god, we believe that he helps us in our work, to become a master of such massage you need to study for a long time, in general today there are schools where they can teach you all this in 10 days, but personally i studied for 13 years at the monastery. did you study directly from the monks? yes, you can tell from the original source. 13 years old, wow, we have about five degrees of higher education. well, 6 years, here 13 years, it’s really great, i’m ready, well then, lay down, it will hurt, a little. oh, it’s a very unusual sensation, listen, of a blow to one point, but all this is just directly sprayed onto the whole body, i can’t say that it hurts, but these blows are so directly noticeable, oh, something sharper

just went, you something is too tense, well, yes, somehow i’m a little on... so still a hammer. wow, oh, friends, in general ok, i’m getting the hang of it, just like that, get ready , i’m changing my technique, oh, i can really feel it now, the blows are getting stronger, ah, great, now i feel like a piece of chop. you wield a hammer so skillfully, you probably hammer nails easily with your eyes closed, yeah, and you’re married, divorced, oh, we already beat the sky like that every day with a hammer, so i couldn’t stand it, i wasn’t

a masseuse then, in general, life is the streets of bangkok are in full swing from morning to evening, but they come to life even more at night, and this, of course, is a special atmosphere, in in general, for those who are having breakfast, enjoy your meal, but for me, have a wonderful evening, bangkok is a city with a peppercorn. here , not only the soup, but the sensations can be spicy. here the most ordinary places present you with the most unusual encounters, and classic sights are looked at in a new way. here everyone is charged with local courage and longs for fun. i take this with me.
