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 ☺️
Totally agree!
Salut alain
If there is one truth in the world, it's go to Yaowarat super hungry, cuz you are gonna eat more than you plan! Keep em coming, brother!
ผมคนต่างชาติ ที่เข้ามาดูสารคดีท่องเที่ยวไทยนะครับ ชอบมากครับ
คนไทย?
I can't wait to visit in January, I will definitely being giving the list a go
thanks a ton for this Andrew!
@RetiredWorkingForYou would love to catch up when I'm in town in January, downloaded the app and some great suggestions. I'm moving to KL full time for work in a few days
@@andrewknell3421 if the videos are click bate I want to catch up too Mark Wiens is in Trinidad ..not Thailand lets all see what happens.....
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
We stay four nights at a hotel in Yaowarat - a not forgotten part of our holiday.
Heading to BKK for the first time in July. Rewatching your top 25 now! Thank you 🙏
Hello Criss, this is the Resin Cajun from the bayou Outside of New Orleans. I have been following you on Retired Working for you. got up one day and here I am in Bangkok. checked in to the C House Hostal and about to start my adventure. So put Mardi Grass aside and party here in Bangkok.
Haha Haley is always so happy. What a cute life they have created in Thailand
Yaowarat + Ong Ang Canal walking street: great evening combo!
Yay 🇦🇺! An avid Korean-Aussie fan who used to live in BKK for several years 😃. Man I miss Thailand!
One of the best and most interesting neighborhoods in Bangkok and now so easily accessible by MRT Blue Line!
Bangkok number 1 place
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.
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
Vibrant is an understatement. People living what lifes all about there. Food, people, entertainment you got it all.
my humble version of gourmet food ... this little thai donut or youtiao.... eat it hot with some cheese on top.... heavenly 😊 ...
Sounds great!
Another fantastic video, Chris! Man, your channel is so great! Love Haley, too!
👋🏼Hey Chris! Episode 4👍🏼👍🏼another awesome video! The street food looks so delicious! Making us so hungry! Keep the videos coming!
🍻Cheers🍻♥️🇨🇦
Chinatown that everyone must come to, suitable for the 4th place.✌️🇹🇭
No.3: Mahanakon skywalk
No.2: Jodd Fairs market
No.1: Chatuchak market
Thought it would be a bit closer to number 1, good to see you Haylee. Hopefully the river will be number 1.
2 thumbs up for Yaowarat & Soi Nana
That vegemite squirt absolute legend, I'm coming to the city is a couple of weeks.
Love China town anywhere. Back alleys are the best places to be! Some amazing finds. There is hope for Mark Wiens, he was in Cebu Philippines yesterday, said he was on his way to meet up with you Chris. Another great video, looking forward to your number one!
Bangkok's Chinatown is my favorite Chinatown. I lived within walking distance from here for about half a year... loved the street food. Can't wait to get back.
Thanks Chris I think I will drop by tomorrow for my first time to the worlds biggest Chinatown
hello my friend it is a pleasure to meet your work
It's painful to watch you eat Vegemite like that 🤣 great to see Australia on the list. Awesome video, Chris! Making me so excited to return to Thailand next week 🥰
next week.....awesome!
YEAH.. THAT HURT,
วันนี้ได้เห็นคุณฟ้า อันดับ1อาจจะเป็นการนั่งเรือล่องแม่น้ำเจ้าพระยาชมกรุงเทพตอนกลางคืน พร้อมกับกินอาหารไปด้วย
The Chinese Wat is called ‘Toa Pek Kong’…used to visit the one next to Shangri-La, new wing….lots of fond memories㊗️❤️🙏🇸🇬
Beautiful
Thank you Frank!
Another great video about 🇹🇭 Thailand. Thank you.
Well my first winter away was going to be Mexico but I'm starting to think Thailand. Chinese food got me interested in Thai food and your channel. Thanks for opening my eyes Chris.🙏🙏🙏
You and your Hailey is so nice to follow ,full energi and spirit
On the mango, there's something good about a very ripe mango, but .... a crispy mango, just turning yellow orange, that is stunning. Then green mango, with salt, curry powder, vinager as a dip, ...
It’s not just the maturity, it’s the type that makes the different tastes.
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 .. :)
Yay! Was waiting for Oz to turn up on the list.😀 I resisted the urge to look ahead. I'm a latecomer to this series, but man, what a phenomenal job you've done on it, Chris! Can't wait to get back to Bangkok. You're an amazing ambassador for Thailand!
Shark Fin, yes a topic to discuss.
If they used the whole shark instead of throwing back the live animal without fins that would be ok.
I’m loving this Chris!! So glad to see Haley with you on this video….gotta love her & I adore her!! Cannot wait to see China Town in February of 2023🎉🎉🎉
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.
Haylee looks amazing with her lovely new hair style!
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!
No.3 Chatuchack Weekend Market
I like the video's flow which is super fluid and smooth. Very good shots and editting. Also awsome contents. Really want to have a taste in the China Town. Thanks for making this info!
Just fantastic!!
Love the daily uploads! You’re probably exhausted but we loveeeee the daily uploads 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love this VDO Clip.
We have been going to BKK for over 26 years and I lived there with my husband for 3 years.
Chinatown is a favorite. Have enjoyed your list.
Woah I could see some shots from the latest iPhone 14! Great way to implement this
Another enjoyable video 👍🏼 Looking forward to our trip next month. Shout out London, UK 🇬🇧
Im so excited to taste Chinese food in China Town for sure.
Wow. This place has changed a lot, in a good way, since our last visit. No wonder you (rightfully) moved it up on the list. Thanks for another tip on where we can visit next month, my friend. Three more days to go! (I haven't missed one so far, hehe...)
Thanks for such a great video of Chinatown in Bangkok 👍
Good vid! Eager to visit again
This Chinatown I Shopping very menu Time ; Hello From Finland
Retired 4 You.
Love it keep up the good work.
My wife and I will be in Yaowarat for 3 days next week, before finally heading back to Melbourne, Australia after a 4 week holiday. Can’t wait to explore Chinatown after seeing this great video. Thx Chris
Sounds great!
Chinatown is looks very nice, need to add to bucket list....
My fave street in my fave city! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Yaowarat must be so much easier to reach now that the MRT goes through it.
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!
Vegemite lightly spread on toast is the best breakfast
Just give it a little tickle 😂 that got me. This dude has a way with words
Yes! I love Bangkok CTown! I actually needed to visit the embassy there but they had not yet announced their reopening so all I could do was call the number they had posted on the wall just outside of the entry gate. Oh well, I ate and shopped my way around! Amazing place.
ผมรู้สึกดีทุกครั้งที่วีดีโอของคุณ ...คริส ขอบคุณมากครับ
Great to see the Aussie's at no# 5. Coming back in Oct. Thanks for the shirt, Chris. Keep up the good work.
Terrible the shark fin soup. Love you're video's
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.
That thai doughnut is call fried butterfly in Singapore and Malaysia
Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi. Not too shabby coming in at #4. Excellent vid Chris! 🤘🇦🇺🤘
Great Video as always, top 3 countries I guess is US, UK and Thailand. No idea of what the top 3 places are but cannot wait to find out. Maybe Pad Krapow lady Number 1
very interesting David
Finally Australia has it the list😉🙏🏻🤪. Loving the Bangkok top 25. We are planning our trip to Bangkok next year from Perth Australia.
Outstanding Chinatown is absolutely number 1. Patong number 2
Great to see Boris Becker over in Bangkok just before 10 mins
Ok, you and your crew are doing a KICKASS job with this list! No need to have a new list EVER in the future!
thanks for the encouragement!
Visit Chinatown and the back alleys in 2016.
very good chinatown
nice video
I have gotta tell you - thanks to you, I've changed where I'm staying now, so I can be IN Chinatown!
Hi from Melbourne Australia
the food looks delicious
another amazing Bangkok story...thaks for making my day ..and tonight is the night.. happy meal ther haha
Enjoy!
Good video 👍
Thanks!
oh wow Kelly, you are too kind!!!
My most favourite part of BBK
Wow Vegemite and warm beer!!!! Unique but very funny. Aussie's at number 4!!! Bring on January when we are back and taking the kids to Krabi
Thai donuts! Sweeeeet!!! 🤤
สุดยอดครับ..จาร
Bsngkok touted as World's Best Chinatown
ดีใจที่คุณชอบ
Chinatown well deserved spot, definitely top five. But if you are in Bangkok for four days or more, a floating market should be one of the stops.
Great honour that UK is in the top 3! BTW congrats to Aussies for winning against Tunisia today although shame you guys didn't quite make to the top 3.
6:08 G'day mate!
Australia #4 :). Had a little bet going in our family that we were top 3. I lose, as usual. Loving the series!
Bummer. Australia missed the bronze medal by THAT much. Great vid, Chrissy P. You’re a fun dude. Hayley is hot. Food looks yummy. Busy place that!
Can Hailey do a video on where she buys all her outfits? Her go to stores/ market in Thailand ? Nice video as usual!
Well I am hoping you moved Chatuchak market to number 3 as that’s where I’m heading today. Keep up the amazing work!
cheers from Australia!
I liked the Grizelda Ghastly Gourmet caldron reference lol
I'm surprised Australia isn't higher! Australians love Thailand!
Proud and awesome to be 4th(Australia) on top of the list! 😎🇦🇺🤙🏼 oh man that Vegemite shot haha 😭
Glad us Aussies got no. 4! Woo Hoo! Love ya Chris 🙂
