Mark Wiens Goes Night Fishing and Jungle Foraging in Remote Thailand | Epic Food Journeys | Nat Geo
Mark Wiens travels to a Karen village in the remote mountains of Mae Hong Son Province, in Northern Thailand, to reunite with his friend Mook. Mark’s challenge is to fish and forage for ingredients to cook a traditional Karen meal. This will serve as the culminating flavor feast for a wrist tying ceremony, a Karen tradition to mark the planting and harvesting cycle of rice. But first, Mark and Mook must trek through the jungle to collect things like bitter melon leaves and broken bones pods. Once the sun goes down, they will join Mook’s brothers on a nighttime fishing expedition which doesn’t quite go as planned. Anytime you’re deep in the jungle looking for food, it’s guaranteed to be an adventure!
