    Walking in any Chinatown around the world is a must BUT definitely my favorite one is Bangkok. The lights, smells, alleys, gold shops, food and the PEOPLE. Great video Chris Hi 🇨🇦 from Samut Prakan ☺️

    Good morning from Chicago Chris.
    Wow crazy busy in Chinatown.
    I'm waking up with my sweet wife and watching your video. We are watching and making plans for our trip to Thailand for a list of things to do. Chinatown is a top choice, looks like a fun place. Love the energy of so many people.
    Thanks Great Video

    Just back from Bangkok after 4 long years away. Your site has provided a much needed pressure release and enabled my wife and I to stay connected to our wanderlust and dreams of travel. This year was a scouting trip for our 'gap year retirement' plan: Prior to retirement in a couple of years here, my wife and I would like to live in SEAsia for an extended stay of travel, food, drink, friends, language & cultural immersion. VN [Vung Tau or Hanoi] is leading the pack with Thailand nipping at its heels. Besides an existing network of friends in Laos, Viet Nam & Thailand, a few YT channels--yours included--are helping us form a plan. I just wanted to say that your vlog on the Bangkok Seafood restaurant on Sukhumvit was a pearl of great price amongst the many pearls you've proffered. We were in Bangkok for 4 days and ate there twice! We feasted on seafood like a couple of King Neptunes [although let's be honest: it would make much more sense for his reign if he ate turf instead of surf]. Either way, Cheers and many, many thanks for that insight. Keep up the hard and helpful work, brother!

    Do you believe it or not, 50+ years ago, Yaowarat was very quiet at night. After 8 pm, practically all shops closed. There were no food stalls in those days. Yaowarat was/is famous for gold shops. There are more than 10 gold shops lining along the street. I believe that Yaowarat began to offer street foods at night 20+ years ago when Princess Sirindhorn began to officially preside over the Chinese New Year celebration on this street. Yaowarat area is the world's biggest China Town. BTW, Thai donuts you mention is called Pa Tong Koh in Thai.

    • @michaelb2388
      @michaelb2388 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes I don't remember much about Chinatown in Bangkok 35 years ago apart from the gold shops and at night there was nothing going on

    Totally agree with the fun comments from friends & fellow fans here... loving this list, thank you Chris! To your request for top-3 predictions, here's my guess: #3: Soi Cowboy and Soi Nana (not just Nana Plaza but all the new eateries and bars); #2: Long-tail khlong tour, and #1: Chatuchuk Weekend Market.

    Bangkok Chinatown must be a must when traveling to Thailand. To spend a whole day in that era, daytime and evening and in the night, Chinatown has everything. just ordering street food and sitting at small tables on the pavement and feeling the atmosphere, people, lights, smells, the chaos of it all,
    It is always wonderful to come back here, and every time there are new experiences even if you have been there several times.. food is an important part of life, just love it, can`t wiat to be back .. :)

    I'm not sure what the locations will be, but I'd guess the viewership is 3) UK, 2) Thailand, and 1) US. Seriously, you've included all of the places that I'd add, so I can't wait to see what the three best spots are. Then get up here to Chiang Mai and let me buy you a Leo!

    Wat Traimit is another Chinatown temple that's impressive. Has the large, solid gold Buddha. As for your Top 3, I have already predicted Ruam Sab's Pad Krapow lady. That leaves two more. The Jim Thompson House Museum would have to be. Years ago when Mark did his list I gave him a hard time for not including it. Turns out, he didn't even know about it. There's also a possibility you could have a rooftop bar, so I'm saying your #1 might be a combo: Phed Mark for meetup and dinner with Mark , followed by a short walk to Octave Rooftop, where you will treat Mark to drinks. Did you include massages in your list? They would be in my top ten.
