I have been visiting Thailand flor more than 25 years and I got family there as well. I can surely say that, from all the videos around about Thailand, your channel is one of the very few depicting Thailand as it is -its past and present, culture, religion, society- without nonsense. Congratulations and thank you. Keep it up please.
Excellent work as usual - even as a long termer, I still find something valuable in every one of your videos
Thanks mate!
Excellent video as usual Pat, thanks.
As always I love your work Pat can't wait for my next Thailand trip. 🙏
Thanks again BKK Pat for another fascinating insight to what makes Bangkok such a wonderful place to visit, it ain't all about the Gogo bars and getting girls... it's the vibrant steady flow of life and the great walks about town, once again thank you BKK Pat, hope to buy you a cup of coffee here in the near future :-)
Hi Pat: Great post. After what will be three years of the 'no fly' we have had plenty of time to plan our next visit, and we had chosen soi 10 a year ago due to its access to the park. We used to stay closer to Queen's Park and would walk there every morning, but Benjakitti provides a much bigger loop that we have taken advantage of for a couple of years. And my favourite 'gold guy' is right on the corner of Suk 10.
Another insightful video, Pat many memories just seeing some of the business logos overhead.
A fun part of town Pat. Great video mate.
Awesome episode! Great work once again!
Thanks a lot Scott, hope you're good !
I’ve spent many of days and nights in the Asoke area and it still surprises me to watch your video and see places I never knew existed. Will definitely be checking out many of them on my next trip!
If that don’t make you miss BKK .. nothing will .. great video Pat
Thanks Gary!
Great vid again BP. Always entertaining & full great info.
Thank you very much.
man i gotta say, you are class! thank you for the amazing video.
Thank you Patt this was very informative
As usual great video
Thank you ! Very informative as usual !
Cheers Tom!
Thanks a lot for making this one Pat; it's just perfect for sharing with friends who ask me what's Bangkok like.
Cheers Nassim
Thanks Pat that was terrific. I will be in Bangkok next month and will check out a few of your suggestions
Great to hear that Peter, thanks.
Clearly a superior channel! Great info!
Thanks Randy!
OMG! THIS IS SUPER USEFUL! Great video, I MISS BANGKOK so much!! Great job, great narrative....
Cheers!
Another great video Pat. Thanks 👍
Thanks mate!
Excellent video, thanks a lot for the recommendations.
Another great production. I tend to stay in this area and during my recent six week stay, I had accommodation on soi's 18,10 & 19. On soi 10 I stayed at Center Pointe with a great view of Benjakki, which I walked every morning while there.
Thank you pat, Love the channel. I miss Thailand. Spent a month there in 2016 mostly traveling north into chaing mai and Mae hong son loop etc etc. Made massive use of the train and stopped in many areas while traveling north... was a blast.. motorbiked through the loop in Mae hong son beautiful ride. Keep playing to my nostalgia I love it.
Great video! Can't wait to try out some of these places in July.
Thanks a lot Ken! That's only next month!
Great viewing again Pat can’t wait till November
Thanks mate!
Was in BKK last Dec, Jan, and will be back over same time this year, great info
Nice video Pat, glad you included Sudas too. Sorry I missed you
It's so good to see all those places immortalised in your video!
(After all, they've been a part of my life.)
Thank you very much Khun Pat. 🙏🙏
Thanks for the tip on Suda! I will check it out when I'm back.
Another great, informative video Pat. So glad to see Bully's has reopen. I love Bangkok but generally find that after a week to 10 days the terrible air quality starts to get on my chest so I move out to somewhere more rural.
Great job , Pat !
Cheers Paul
Pat, as always a really good, well informed vlog !
Cheers Mark.
Hi Pat, this was a good, informative and interesting video, well done and please keep them coming.
Thanks mate1
Once again Pat ...great content. Great delivery, perfect editing and very informative. Keep up the good work
Thanks a lot Kevin!
Very professional production and presentation thanks.
Another gritty video Pat, thanks so much. Dying for some Bangkok street food!!
Cheers Lorraine, could have been grittier I feel....
Awesome!! Pro tips galore amazing lights & imagery miss it.
Cheers Bat man!
Thanks, Pat. Great video.
Cheers mate
i really appreciate the food recommendations
Cheers Tony, I'm a fussy eater!
Another great video. Keep up the good work 👍🏽
Thanks Christian.
Really enjoyed this video Pat .. !
Cheers Jon!
Always informative & entertaining - well done Pat!
Thanks Lee
Classy guide around the area that’s so skivvy. I applaud your composure.
Great stuff Pat
Thanks Jack!
I like this new "informative video for tourists" format.
33% of the poll said it could be a good idea, so why not!
So many new places have popped along that bit of sukumvite.... The place seems to be always evolving,. Great video as always in keeping us up to date
Thanks John!
Interesting and informative. Thanks
Mate!? You covert so much! 😮I love this episode! Thanks for the tip about Soi 14! I have never been yet and I definitely wanna check it out. Cheers mate and stay champ!
I almost asked you to go there last time we met in Bkk but I can't remember what happened, anyway it's decent and the portion sizes are big. She's been there over 30yrs
I must agree with everyone. Getting better and better. Top music, great presentation, informative and respectful. Couldn't wish for more. Bet there's a ton of viewers dreamily planning the next trip because of your excellent post. Thank you mate.
Thanks a lot Trev, I could have fitted in another 30mins, there's so much around but I have a food guide to Nana in the pipeline.
Loved you chat with pete and loved your vid
Thanks Peter, Pete's a good bloke and we're meeting wednesday to work on something new.
Another great video Pat! I’m slowly getting caught up on them all. I’m apparently one of those odd ones that doesn’t mind basing myself out of the bigger cities. I love Bangkok’s energy. When I need something a bit mellower, I just hop on a plane south to the beaches and islands for a few weeks.
Great video with slick editing & a drop of humour as usual. Thanks Pat.
Cheers!
But I love the lack of continuity when it comes to Pats shirts.
Dark, white, dark, white. He keeps changing shirts every few minutes!
@@chrisburdett2460 I do try and keep an eye on my shirts but it gets sweaty and I change them sometimes 3 times a day.....
Many thanks for this! Your signposting to the Railway Community, Benjakitti & Lumpini Parks were especially helpful, during my recent trip to Sukhumvit!
Glad to hear that! Hope it was an interesting walk.
Good job again Pat
Cheers!
Your show is by far the best on uTube re: Bangkok love your show so much rely look forward seeing your shows ..
Thanks very much Les!
I've stayed in the Sukhumvit area a few times. Didn't know about those parks and other areas. I have to visit on my next trip. Thanks for showing us around.
Great information. I'll be in Thailand in July. As always your narration is the best
Thanks, great to hear that mate.
Another super video Pat. It has brought back a lot of memories for me from my short Bangkok trips. I never ventured along the railway track. What a pity but at least I know to do it when hopefully I will get back to Thailand in the not to distant future.
John
Great video I feel like I'm watching a proper travel show on TV 👏👏
Good video Pat!
Cheers and hello to you in Brazil!
As usual a great content
Thanks PT!
I do like this guy he's easy on the ear and to the point .
Thanks a lot and I'm assuming you're new watching my vids? If so welcome mate.
Good job Pat thank you
Great video Pat, I visited Bangkok for the first time in April and stayed at the Ambassador in Soi 11, for a week, wish I had known half the places you showed.
Interesting video come Thailand a lot but learn a few bits along the way
Another fantastic and informative Vlog. I’ve been watching expat Vlogs on Thailand for years and yours are head and shoulders above anything else out there. Great to see Billy’s has reopened. One of my favourite watering holes. Great food too. Keep up the great work, Pat!
That should be Bully’s of course!!
Cheers, glad you're enjoying the channel!
A Very Interesting Video and Very Useful Clear Information as always from you Pat. 🙏
Thanks Gert!
Super Pat. 👍
Excellent work thanks
Thank you Ahsan!
My friend you are best,honest, no hype, smooth, super cool,ect ect
Wow, thanks very much Daniel.
@@BangkokPat I am an old school guy, don't use my card for overseas charges,from usa,but I will treat you dinner and meet you when a guet there early spring, and contribute to Channel when I am there,keep your good work, and sneaky sense humor at times,super entertaining,yet very Bankok learning skills and knowledge for newbies like me lol your are the best! I know higth value person, and you are one of kind lol😁
Great video Pat, it’s good to see the bully back open, I will have to go and check out the breakfast 👍
Was gonna get ribs to take away the other night but didn't fancy waiting and it was busy, I do intend to, we could do a video as I've mentioned it and showed in in about 3 videos already!
Awesome vid. I never knew that soi 10 leads to Lumpini Park. You learn something new every day
It doesn't. It leads to Benchakitti Park but the Green Skywalk mentioned does connect the two parks.
This brought it all back mate!…….
Glad to hear that mate!
GOOD MORNING PAT, top vid that :}
Thanks Ivor!
thanks for bringing awesome content of Krung Thep and up to date information without clickbait B$.... much appreciated,,, been subbed LT
Thanks Andrew! Glad to hear you've been subbed LT and not short time! I'm not attractive enough for that clickbait game!
@@BangkokPat 555 good response 555
@@Farang_Lifestyles I've been waiting months to do a joke like that
Allways great videos.very interesting
Cheers John!
Thanks Pat for the great video! Two weeks ago I was asking myself what to do in the Sukhumvit area. Funny enough I went to the Kicking Donkey, Suda, Old German Beer House and Little Spicy. I can only recommend these places.
Maybe you were attracted to my perfume because that's the route I took!
It's very true what you say about moving hotels around. It saves so much travelling time if you can walk to where you want to go.
Thank you again for all your hard work on your channel.
Thanks! Often when you book a hotel and have never been to the area you may regret commiting to booking too many nights if you don't like where it is, and Nana is not everyone's cup of tea.
@@BangkokPat I guess the tipping point was sitting in a taxi for an hour on my way back from MBK or my tailor to East Bangkok all the time.
As you suggest, Nana isn't really me but you have to see it once.
My Thai friend is an exec with a major hotel and I think she takes it personally when I don't stay there. They treat me like royalty when I arrive and it is difficult to resist.
It's an art form to decline or say 'no' in Thai - worthy of a video in itself.
I like to have a 'street beer.'- A cold Cheers Xtra from 7-eleven and drink it on the street! My favourite spot for years has been the parking places opposite Dets Soi8. There are many other places to enjoy a drink while soaking up the BKK atmosphere, and so long as you are discrete no one seems offended. Thanks for the video.
Cheers Pat. I've literally seen none of this when passing through BKK!
such underrated video! Wish your channel grows more, I admit earlier on I didn't click on your videos because the banner seems off.
Gonna spread the word around to refer your videos for Bangkok guide
From Malaysia with love~
Another interesting view of Bangkok...... i liked the sign you were standing next to in Terminal 21, they seem to have 'borrowed' the London Transport roundal.......
One of the floors is 'London' themed
I grew up round these neighborhoods from 1999 to 2021 I’m away for a 1 year now hopefully coming back next month November 2022 🤗i miss bkk so much thanks Bangkok pat for posting my beautiful Neighborhood’s 🙏🏾🤗🥰✌🏾🎩
Great vlog. Thanks for the recommendations and tips 🍲 . I have noted many of them for my next trip to BKK planned for September 🙏 krub
Another Excellent video BKK PAT, miss bangkok
Hope to be there soon 🙏
Thanks very much J!
your videos are so well shot and very comfortable to watch. may the algorithm grant you its boon!
Thanks! ...the algorithym is a mystery.........
Great video!
Thanks! The Plaza ain't everyone's cup of tea....
@@BangkokPat So true. It's actually an area I avoid at all costs, but it's insightful to look at it through your perspective.
‘Clean Fresh Healthy and Cheaper.’ Best ever elevator pitch.
He had to do a few takes to get it perfect but nice bunch of guys there
Thanks Pat Returning in Nov, Saved Me from doing Hours of Homework. Cheers.
Glad to hear that!
I have been there 25 times since 1985, Did Nine Months as a Monk, Rains Retreat at Wat Sai Ngam in Supphanburi, some time at Wat Sai Dai in Nakhon Sawan, and Wat Racha Nadaram in Bangkok. Thanks again
Loved the video especially highlighting Suda on there. When our team comes up from Singapore for the GAS football tournament that is a must visit. Looking forward to a quick holiday in September and another visit
Suda's is a great place and deserves the publicity. She's been serving great food for a long time, and it's busy every evening, plus there are 3 big cats that prowl around too!
Love your videos and your unique view of Bangkok. I come here often, I’ll be sure to say hi of we cross paths.
Fantastic information Pat, only just discovered your channel and loving the content- in Pattaya now and returning to Bangkok tomorrow for 2 nts , asok soi 21 walkable to soi nana bearing in mind I’m suffering with sciatica at the moment!
Cheers Martin glad you found the channel 😎
Nice vid Pat, have literary just walked all that area and hit the BTS too. Landed Fri morn. Done the octave sky bar and Nana.
Good to hear that Gav, straight out no time for sleeping off jetlag!
Are you sure you wasn’t following me about last time I visited!
I loved seeing my regular jaunts.
You’re giving me the incentive to return fairly soon.
Lovely video again Pat.
Cheers Joey, those places ain't going away don't worry! The area's getting busier! I've been up and down Sukhumvit so many times the last 2yrs shooting and seen it through all the lockdown crap and now it's come to life finally!
Wow great video. I finally have my passport on the way & the first place I want to go to is Thailand! I wasted so much time in the military & never got to travel. Well, now it's finally time! I've been dreaming about visiting the land of smiles for YEARS. I'm going to reference your videos when I go hopefully in October. My plan is to visit for maybe a month, explore the land, meet friendly locals, & LIVE LIFE. :)
Cheers 🥃
Popped into 'Little Spicy' Friday evening as per your recommendation. Indeed, good quality food, good service and plenty of choice at a reasonable price. Cheers
Grwqt vlog Pat. 10/10
You make Bangkok seem very interesting. My wife and I usually never spend more than a couple of days there before heading off to Isaan land . Never been to explore sukumvit rd in any detail looks like a lot to see thanks.
