Alex Boonphaya is currently in Thailand, doing research (aka eating and drinking everything in sight) for his two Circles Thai restaurants in Philadelphia. His rep sent over this short compilation of some of the fun he's been having in Bangkok. The video opens on a back-alley restaurant that serves nothing but stewed whole chicken - including the intestines - over cilantro rice.
You’ll also see Boonphaya and writer Brian Freedman nibbling on octopus skewers and hot dogs next to the Lebua State Tower Hotel, which happens to be the site where Paul Giamotti arrested Mr. Chow in The Hangover Part 2 (dubious claim to fame, but you take what you can get). The final scene features a food cart tucked behind the Mandarin Oriental that serves grilled chicken, pork and fish in plastic bags to go. Watch above and stay tuned for more dispatches later this week.
