This video of a Pok Pok noodle cart shows an ancient way of selling food which includes a familiar sound--in this case the sound comes from a bamboo block. Hawkers use all forms of noise to sell items in Thailand, the bamboo block is common for pok pok carts ("pok pok" is the sound made from the bamboo). Other sounds you might hear: horns and even singing the same song loudly at the approach of a customer's house. This custom, likely started by Chinese hawkers, involves repeating the same sound while passing through a neighborhood. We love Pok Pok noodle carts, and we hope you enjoy this video and take the time to leave a comment below.

I grew up in the Philippines and although this is Thailand, it's a heck of a lot closer than Baltimore, MD. This reminds me of my youth. The videos also make me very hungry. I enjoy watching; please keep them coming.

This just looks like Chinese wonton noodle soup without the wonton.

I don't know how I missed this video before! What a great custom. The noodles looked delicious. I wish there was a Pok Pok cart that came down my street. Thanks for all of these wonderful videos that give us all a look into the lives and culture of Thailand, and of those who have given us these fabulous recipes.
