Mark Wiens is an American food-travel creator based in Bangkok whose channel documents street food and local restaurants across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.
Deep, respectful coverage of Thai street food built his first audience, and the format — long walk-through videos with vendors explaining their dishes — became a template other food travel channels copied.
Videos run long, stay in one city or market, and give vendors credit and addresses, which makes the catalogue genuinely useful as a travel resource rather than just entertainment.
He has published city food guides, opened restaurant projects in Bangkok and runs sponsored travel work with tourism boards and brands.
Mark Wiens is known for street-food travel documentaries, market tours and in-depth explorations of local dishes. His signature YouTube videos showcase food cultures around the world, with a strong focus on Thailand.
Watch his food and travel videos on his YouTube channel, Mark Wiens, with additional content on Facebook and Instagram.
