The so-called slum he went to is not Klong Toei. This one is at Pracha Songkhro/Bangkok Metropolitan Council/Bangkok Youth Center (Thai-Japan), or what's the local usually call แฟลตดินแดง or Din Daeng Flat. I used to live just across the street of these packs of flat since birth. Now moved out just a bit further and near the MRT station. The outer space or the nearby market is safe like other normal parts of Bangkok. Up inside the building, idk. Tbh, as I lived near there for ten years. I never enter those building even once.
fuck dude. 14 years ago i was skating so much. i had so much fun with friends. but at some point, we all stopped it fore some reason. now i am 29 years old with multiple sclerosis and i thought, i will never give it a shot again. but now with videos like this on youtube, i have a deep burning longing to skate again. just need to fix my old ass board and i will skate again. i am very excited, happy and looking forward to it. thank you skatenomad, that u contribute to these videos. i just can't wait to skate again! :D
Dude you are doing what most would never dream of doing. I love your vids. I'm 48 and used to skate a lot. But now I just surf and I love visiting asian countries for the food, waves and friendly people. I hope your channel really blows up man. You are a real one.
@@Theskatenomad its not super underground, i used to go there a few times a week when i first moved to bkk. its pretty central in bkk and well known. cool guys tho :)
Best Skate Channel of all time! Love the content and the exposure you are bringing to the skate community globally. I'm buying the merch as soon as my check hits!! Mike, you have struck gold!
This vide literally shows more of ''how it is'' than any travel vlogger does. As all we see are beaches and temples. Not this. Showing that beyond the stereotypes, propaganda, and what people think they know, because of what they are able to see (and many never care to look beyond that). It shows yet again society is society anywhere. Humans are humans anywhere. Just as you said; Beside languages, cultures, and the things that make it look we are so different from one another. Behind all that is - something I know many don't like are true - humans no matter where, have far more in-common that not. Awesome vid man, btw!
Dude thank you so much! I like to show my skate traveller perpective which is different than most people. This is the core concept of my channel. I’m super glad you appreciated it. Let’s show what is it for what it is 🙏
As a capital city goes Bangkok is the safest I have ever known. I have been out drunk barely walking down the wrong streets and seen some very dangerous-looking people to be greeted and welcomed by them to stop and have another drink then call me a taxi to return me safely back to my hotel. I have never seen anyone beaten up or robbed, but go to London or New York you'll find the complete opposite.
Agreed. I could leave keys in my moped with belongings and it was never taken. I do believe it has changed somewhat but compared to most western cities, you’d never be able to do that.
This reminds me of being a kid in Brunei 🇧🇳 from Australia 🇦🇺 I met some guys at the shopping centre who where skating. Couldn’t even speak to each other with the language barrier. They took me on a small long boat to skate spots around the city. Skate culture brings people together
@@TheskatenomadI’m back in Australia now but I was there for a few years during high school. Awesome memories. Thanks for sharing your experience in Thailand love it
You and spanian are the most honest travel vloggers 100%..my fave travel channels by far...both awesome..i hope i get to meet you on the road somewhere sometime bro your energy is fantastic..
I love you're upload!As a former skater from the 80s,windsurfe and surfer then turned everyday sports bike rider,these have been the best relationships in my life.Now 52 separated getting a divorce but still holding on to the best relationship I will ever have in my life.Trust and Respect!My brothers!
Volleyball with the feet @5:45 is called Sepak Takraw and it's an amazing sport. I would really recommend searching it on TH-cam. Especially at the Asian national teams level.
super cool video!! i got an element deck and i am trying to learn to skate at the age of 29 right now and this video was just super cool to watch :D thank you for your nice content ur super cool and it was sooo interesting to see thailand from this non-tourist perspective
I've only watched a couple of your videos but soon ill need to do a deep dive because its been some of the best skate content on TH-cam I've seen.. maybe ever
Went and skated bangkok a few years ago. Theres a crazy vert ramp in the middle of a nature park by the pink park. Ive never seen any videos of it but i dropped in on it. Just stumbled across it walking around.
They see me rollin', they hatin'... nice to see this video doin' well for you. you went to Thailand several months ago, but this time, it's getting the clicks. haha, YT world can be such a mo-fo. anticipating the one with a 🇹🇭 skater girl.
@@Theskatenomad ahh man that would be awesome! I’m 41 and I used to skate when I was younger! I love skating and I really want to get back into it! You and your videos are an inspiration!
I always respect to skateboards people I try to do trick but end up getting hurt from it and it effected my job. I always admire people doing trick that mean they practiced a lot and probably getting hurt so many time before do it so well so I stop it and using cruiser board instead and I love it ❤
Go to Cebu City,Philippines a plane away from Manila. There are a lot of promising skateboarders there who participate in SEAgames and Olympics. travel to a 4 hour drive to south or north of Cebu the beaches are really good and food is great too! Enjoy!
Great Job mike! Insight was cool. How they just chill and have fun. Good skateboarding too! Kat is probably the coolest too! Big 🛹🌏❤️✊ from #rollnfunsb 🙏✌️
tomber sur ta vidéo (première fois que je vois ta chaine) et me demander pourquoi je reconnais cet accent la ahah notre fameux accent anglais québecois 😂😂😂😂😁
My best friend died from drugs and then I almost died from alcohol and drugs. Sober since August 2022. Life is precious and we should be kind and loving towards everyone especially our friends and family. Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. I'm trusting in nothing but the blood of Jesus to pay for my sins to keep me out of hell.
Balance is key like with everything, hard drugs are bad but having a wine with dinner or a joint here and there is fine no harm in that. I’m sorry to hear about your homie & glad your doing well by the sounds of it 🙏🏼

Pink Park locals are one of the most rawest and realest skaters! Skated there many sessions a couple years back, specially during rainy season
