Lumpini Park is the first public park in Thailand built over 100 years ago. King Rama VI donated land at the outskirt of Bangkok to construct the park. The King used to be educated in a boarding school in England as a prince for several years and thus Lumpini Park was an attempt to emulate Hyde Park in England. Lumpini Park is the favorite park for people to exercise in the morning and evening. The park is world famous for its many monitor lizards, some are as long as 2-3 meters. Monitor lizard lives in the park's pond for decades. It has no predator so the park is the heaven for them. Nearby is Benjakitti Park which is connected to Lumpini Park via Green Skywalk. Benjakitti Park and its new extension (Forest Park) land used to house factories of Thailand Tobacco Monopoly. The factories were relocated to a remote province decades ago. Both Lumpini and Benjakitti parks are favorite for Thais and expats to relax, walking, biking or simply walking in the morning and evening. Biking is allowed in Lumpini park from 10.00-16.00. Other times are allocated to walkers and runners. Biking is allowed in all hours at Forest Park due to its dedicated bike lanes.
The sculpture in Benjakitti Park is Prathumchart or literally Lotus Species. Lotus is the symbol of Buddhism and Thais bring lotus to the temple as merit offering. There is an annual event at the end of Buddhis Lent in October at Wat Yai Bang Pli to float a decorated boat to receive throwing lotuses along the canal th-cam.com/video/KzOtkYDcvu8/w-d-xo.html

You left out watching Muay Thai fights.
True that is something but not for all

I like you bro ✌️✌️🥰
The lady laughing as you eat durian is everything 😂
I like the fear in your eyes every time you taste something. XD
You must know BKK really well to do this list! How many times have you been there and do you plan on returning again? 😮💨
Spent more than 3 months in Bangkok on 5 different occasions, i'll be back soon enough 😁
Bangkok's Grand Palace was built in the style of Ayutthaya Grand Palace with a royal temple inside reserved only for the King and relatives to hold Buddhist ceremony. Since the temple is in the Grand Palace there is no monk living in the temple. It is only the functional temple in Thailand that has no monk resides in. Monks from temples nearby are usually invited when the King performs Buddhist ceremony. It is a tradition that any novice who passes the highest Pali Grade 9 language proficiency will be royally patronaged and ordained into monkhood in this Emerald Buddha temple. Pali is the language spoken during the Buddha's era. Buddhist Dharma was originally transmitted by Pali oral tradition (still practiced even today when monks cite Pali sutra every morning and evening) but later transcribed into Pali alphabets, similar to Sanskrit which is the main language of Hinduism. There is a nationwide exam conducted annually to assess Pali proficiency and few novices/monks pass Grade 9 language each year, normally fewer than 10. So you can imagine how hard it is.
At the Grand Palace, you can see Garudas (mythical flying deity) grab Nagas (mythical serpent-like deity living underworld). They are sworn mortal enemies in Hindu and Buddhist legends. However, both are God Vishnu's mounts. When travelling, God Vishnu mounts on Garuda. When resting in the sea, God Vishnu lays on bed transformed from Naga's body. Garuda is a sacred deity in Thailand and Indonesia. Thus Indonesia National Airlines is "Garuda" while Thailand's official emblem is Garuda which is affixed in front of official paper and shown on Royal Announcements on Thai TVs. Naga is sacred deity in Thailand and Laos as protector of the Lord Buddha. Temples in the Thailand's North and Laos often feature 2 Nagas at the front leading the steps into the temple. Standalone Naga is featured prominently along Mekong River on both sides of Thailand and Laos as well.
Here is the full name of Bangkok.
Krungthep Mahanakorn Amorn Rattanakosin Mahintra Yuttaya Mahadilokpop Noparat Burirom Udom Rachnivet Mahasathan Amornpimarn Avartarnsathit Sakkatiya Witsanukamprasit
Here is my rough translation. Bangkok Metropolis, the royal capital of Ratanakosin dynasty following Ayutthaya dynasty, a grand palace resided by God King.
Wat Pho is an old temple south of the Grand Palace. It is also known also as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha rebuilt by King Rama III in 1832. The King also decreed that traditional Thai massage and traditional medicine be inscribed on stone tablets to diseminate the knowledge to the general public. The famous Thai spa and massage are believed to originate from such stone inscription. King Rama III was also known as Merchant Prince because when he was still a prince he conducted trade with China and asked the ship captain to bring back stone sculptures such as Chinese deities, mythical beasts as stabilizing balance in the ship's belly. These stone sculptures are now commonly seen at Wat Pho, Wat Arun and the Grand Palace. When President Obama had only one day to tour a Thai temple, US Embassy recommended this temple due to its unique architecture, history and beautiful reclining Buddha.
Love your video so much. I gonna fly from Frankfurt to Bangkok in next 2 weeks. Existing!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Traditional Thai costumes seen at Wat Arun are hi-so and usually worn by wives of high officials at former occasions such as Royal Ballroom celebration at Government House or at Official New Year's morning merit making presided by Thai prime minister/wife as well as cabinet ministers/wives. Woman also wears traditional Thai dress during wedding ceremony while Thai man usually wears western suit or white formal uniform if being civil servant.
Legend states that when King Taksin, at the time Ayutthaya mandarin, led some troops to break the Burmese siege of Ayutthaya and arrived at this old temple at dawn, so the temple was then named Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun). After Ayutthaya fell after one-year siege, he led troops from Chanthaburi province to expel the occupied Burmese troops in Ayutthaya. Then he proclaimed himself King and moved the capital from Ayutthaya to Thonburi and built a royal palace adjacent to Wat Arun and this temple then became the Royal Temple within the Palace domain in line with Ayutthaya tradition. The same could be said about King Rama I when he moved the capital from Thonburi across the Chao Phraya River and built Emerald Buddha Temple within the Grand Palace. When Thonburi was still a distinct province before it was dissolved to form Bangkok metropolis about 50 years ago, Thonburi's symbol was Phra Prang (Stupa) of this temple. Phra Prang is lit at night and can be seen from tour boats or roof-top bars on the opposite side of Chao Phraya River.
ขอบคุณน่ะ
Really shocked for me to see the foreigner go to party at the Thai style club, you really known Bangkok well my friend.💕💕💕🙏🙏
Most of the tourist they just love to go to the bar on the streets at the red light areas and I bet that's why they never known where the Thai teenagers go to party and I believed many of them thought that Thai people go to those places too while many Bangkok teenagers never even go to party at those places before, that's why you'll see more than 60-70% of the customers are only foreigners.
I’m coming in 2 weeks and want to party with the locals at Spaceplus!
0:17 you look like this typical Swedish guy at the balcony checking out the view.
Looks like you are eating something.
It's fun to see someone looking out from Thailand's 2nd tallest building and eating something, it reminds me of Sweden.
Also tomorrow is Julafton, ska du göra något speciellt?
Is August a good time to visit Bangkok for like 5 days? Mainly on indoor activities and some shopping and Supercars spotting. If you know..
Definitely. Since you're mainly interested in the indoor activities, a little bit of rain here and there won't ruin your experience. When it eventually rains, usually it only lasts for an hour or two so it's not even that bad.
@@Robert_Berg Thanks. That helps 👍😊
Chinatown in San Francisco is the largest Chinatown in the world😉
You learn something new everyday 😄
How do you meet other travelers in Thailand????? I love to visit Thailand but don't want to do it alone... it would be fun to meet other travelers and be friend with...
Staying in a hostel is a great way! Everyone staying in hostels tends to be up for meeting new people and letting them join in their adventures or joining yours! It’s a very fun environment and tends to be cheap accommodation too!
Hi , I will be traveling to Bangkok in March , so my question is : Do i need to buy the entrance tickets in advance to enter the temples ?
No, you can buy them at the spot :)
@@Robert_Berg thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question 😊
I’m planning to go in September 14-22nd is it possible to enjoy the beach around Phuket?
If you go to this beautiful city (Bangkok) you have to be careful to one thing: Around you can find tuk-tuk drivers that for a really small amount they bring you around(so you say okay let's go). At a certain point of the trip, they bring you to a travel agency(okay it can be useful you think). In these agencies, they charge you a lot of money for nothing. They make you believe that they are going to give you a big service but that is false. Yakkoo travel is one of this agencies
Good point
For me it was trying to get me to buy suits😅
wat pho pronounces like ‘wat po’
Lmfao that scam ass crane machine. Claws opened on the way to the drop zone ROFL
Why would anyone go to Starbucks, McDonald's, Burger King or KFC in Bangkok?? Oh, and you left out Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy, Patpong (not so much thee days) and Lower Sukhumvit for naughty nightlife ... 😋
They might want a coffee or some western fast food?
I tend to think like this too :P I love exploring new! Not what I can get at home!
But people might be feeling homesick or not be as adventurous with their tastes.. or someone is coming from a country that doesn’t have them!
But where's the Massage Part 🤨🤨
Rien ne va
Based on your video I went to Kao Ston road (forgive spelling). It was full of people doing whip balloons.. like everyone is on drugs.. with loudness wars of terrible music.. kind of like a trashy spring break crowd.. not my thing
Khao San Road is definitely a hit or miss, sorry that you had a bad experience. I’d say KSR is mainly for the younger travelers out there who’s visiting for the first time, perhaps looking for other travelers to party with. During my first couple of visits I went there quite a lot but I’ve grown out of it and there’s definitely better areas to party in imo. However I do think it’s one of those places you atleast have to see once if you visit Bangkok, regardless of what you think of it so hey, atleast now you have seen that side of Bangkok too 🤣
I guess you need lots and lots of money.
no nee to go in thailand when we know there's ton of scams
I'm visiting Spain this year but I simply can't decide between Thailand or Japan for 2024
Japan all the way
Wouldn't the largest "chinatown" in the world be in "China"?
It would just be a town there.
@@aakashshringare6670 you mean like Beijing?
No because that would be called China-country
Not original women be careful 😂😂 sword vs sword ⚔️
