This man produces beautiful, high-quality informative videos about the history of Bangkok. I rarely see this on TH-cam.!
Yes ! Interesting, exciting, and educational. One of the only such Bangkok vloggers. Most of the rest of Bangkok vloggers are just spitting out repetitive tourist trash ! Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the kind words Hector!
Agreed. If I see another vlogger sitting at a roadside stall and banging on about the noodles, it’ll be too soon.
Unfortunately, a majority of the people like to watch trash vloggers 😂.
I’m always learning something from this channel about Bangkok that wouldn’t be possible as a tourist alone even if I’m there. That’s what I love about Pat’s channel.
Still the best content creator in Thailand. Always learn such interesting details. 🙌🙏🏻
An amazing and dynamic city, is Bangkok. Thanks Pat for covering it, with such a depth of research and detail.
Your videos makes me miss Bangkok all the time. Maybe I should visit again in the next year or two.
I'm headed there in October for one month! I'll say HELLO to Bangkok for you.
@@kevinp8108Me too, the full month of November. Busting to get back, the wife and I adore Thailand.
I can see how much hard work you pun into your content.. shooting, research, editing...keep it up, Pat.
I loved such a detailed 2-part Chong Nonsi special!! I always stay at Silom area near Chong Nonsi every time i visit Bamgkok. I love this area. Pat's research was thorough, and every second of the video was enjoyable!! Great job again, Pat!
I concur. I thought I knew this area well but I stand corrected. Thank you Pat! I ate at two restaurants you mentioned last May, but I missed the Err restaurant because it didn't pop up in g. maps. 😊
One more fantastic video. Great production. Definitely the best BKK TH-camr.
I used to work in Sathorn Nakorn Tower at Chongnonsi 25 years ago, and would often look down and wonder at the House on Sathorn which was in a state of disrepair then, and across to the old cemeteries thinking about the by-gone eras.
Thanks so much for including our friend, the monitor lizard. Really appreciate it, mate. Love your work!
Pat never disappoints. Production quality off the charts!
Always loved the 'diamond tower' condo in Chong Nonsi, it's a big weird pyramid, looks like a bit of 80's retro futurism.
Your videos are excellent, love the history and depth of your research. Your 2 videos on the Sathorn area brought back fond memories, seeing my 1980s home at Diamond Tower and (after a 5 year gap in Hong Kong) my 1990s home at Palm Courtt (now Siri Sathorn), as well as the old BNH where my kids were born and the many old houses that used to line Sathorn. Left Bangkok in 1997, for many subsequent foreign assignments, but still return 3 or so times a year (but always stay riverside now).
You are now my michael parkinson of thai vloggers
Brilliant content of Sathorn! I live here and learn a lot from your videos!
Thankfully there are still some beautiful old historical buildings still standing amidst the towering glass and concrete the love of money tells the story, thanks for sharing 🏴❤️x
Bless you for those videos.
Yet another excellent video Pat.. cheers
Your work and research is amazing, insightful, and entertaining 🙏🏽 #KrapKhunKrap
Clear to see, most of the charm of what we knew as BKK is being demolished for the sake of "progress." Big business owners and other infulential folks seem to look to wipe out this classic Siam charm in Bkk.
I always like watching Pat's videos. He puts in a lot of time for preparation. But what I like the most is that no matter the topic he finds the bright side of things. Way to go, Pat!
Hello Pat. I live there now. I rent condo near in a amazing place called Knightbridge Sathorn. Thanks for covering that area. Hope to see you again in BKK soon.
I'm more or less living in Bangkok since many years, I loved this video a lot. Thank you and keep the good job on!.
Love your channel, informative and quite calming too. 😊
Thanks Pat. I stayed in Sathorn on my first trip back in 2004, so it was perfect timing to watch this after your Don Muang video. Cheers!
So refreshing to see such interesting content and not just touristy garbage that other creators post to get views. I normally go exploring around Bangkok on weekends, so it is nice to know more about the history and other hidden gems to go visit. Thank you!
As always another super interesting video.
Thanks🙏
Love your channel mate, very informative. Especially the history of This wonderful city. Keep up the good work 👍
my old neighborhood-i lived on sathorn soi 17 from 2004-2006 in the muslim neighborhood. we had a call to prayer speaker right outside a bedroom window. the somtam place looked a bit different. we had to drive our car down that tiny soi to get to our parking space next to the muslim cemetery. as for the chinese cemetery i remember overhearing a foreigner call it “thai future park” LOL. brings back a lot of memories.
we paid 7,000 baht a month for a small two story house. it’s still there at least it was in 2011 last i was there
The concept of a pauper’s field is probably non existent inThailand.A different outlook is taken to final resting places is maybe due to Christian views being different than those of Eastern Religions
Pat, keep up the good work. We have two children adopted from Bangkok and several of these videos have been a great connection back to their birthplace. And the cats aren’t too bad either.
Great second part. I am one of those in the camp of leaving the dead to lie where they were buried. It’s a bit nasty to turf them out and sell the land.
Another superb video thanks Pat , your research and presentation is second to none 👍🇹🇭🇹🇭.
Do a video on Rama III area next! It’s a bit under the radar, but worth a shout! (I am a big fan of yours and I live around there. Would be interesting to see what you make of it!)
Yes you are right, l will do it at some point soon, been looking at the map to see how wider an area l will cover.
lol I’ve been known to unsubscribe when a guy eats food every vid. Thanks!
Are you shooting with Canon? If so enable D+2 for highlights you will get more detail in video.
Another fantastic video pat, maybe your best yet 👍👍👍
After watching a steady diet of "food vids of Thailand" (pun intended), even cemeteries are a breath of fresh air. These are some of the best vids available. Pat makes me want to hop on a plane and see if I can tolerate the heat.
As Always Pat, much appreciate your vid's, so entertaining. Thank You
17:35 ... the Robot building: That if R2-D2 becomes architecture. I wish it started talking to us
Canal Park needs shade. Thai people don’t like to get dark. Build some shade and they’ll come!
Pat Great video and fascinating look at local history.🤗
Cities such as Bangkok are a collection of villages, thanks Pat😊
ทำดี ทำถึง ข้อมูลแน่น มีภาพเก่า ที่หายาก เป็นกำลังใจให้ครับ เสียดายอาคารเก่าหลังงาม หลายแห่งที่ถูกแทนที่ด้วยตึกสูง ด้วยความที่เป็นทรัพย์สินส่วนบุคคล หลายที่ปล่อยรกร้าง ขาดการรักษา ต้องขายที่ไป บางหลังก็เกือบจะถูกทุบทิ้ง ยังดีที่หลายอาคารเก็บไว้อย่างดี
I used to own a shoe shop at the MahanNakorn building and so I would often find myself hanging around ChongNoni area, All the businesses were waiting for things to really take off when that building opened but it never really improved the soi's around it, a lot of us thought it would become a world-class area, I think its because of the King Power/ Pace Development mess, the powers that be know there is failure at the heart of that build and so it will never be iconic
There's an overpriced mall that customers are forced to walk through when coming back down from the Mahanakhon tower, and of course being King Power things are more expensive than they are in other places. I doubt they cared about making the area take off
Absolutely agree with your assessment. We checked out the King Power mall after watching a local Thai video recommended. Nothing to write home about. Not even photo worthy.
Peaceful after life in Thailand as a Criminal in a burial plot !! hard to get
Would love to spend at least one night at the W Hotel and dine at the lovely old former Russia House. If you're a local it would be pretty cool to work there too.
In Manchester UK, the Council moved a full cemetery to make way for a new Tesco supermarket, what was immoral was the families were charged for the removal and
re interment of the graves, although they had no say in the matter. Same same different country. Another great Vlog Pat.
A great area Pat and well worth spreading over 2 vlogs nice one 👌👌
Great as always. And even an Alain Delon polo!. Fancy :)
Another brilliant video. So much history. Beautifully researched. Your unique style never disappoints
Thanks Pat.🫶🇦🇺
Glad you enjoyed it, cheers 😻
Another fascinating look at this area. Thanks.
These Sathorn videos have been really fascinating, an area of BBK I'm less familiar with. Really love the cinematography of those night time shots, so colourful and vibrant. Thanks for all your work Pat. Oh and anyone in BKK right now, I can highly recommend Pats walking tours!
What a shame knocking down some of those magnificent homes.
Your knowledge and work is actually priceless! Thank you very much Bangkok Pat!🔝👏🙏💙🇹🇭
Pat, Again a Very Interesting Video with your Clear Historical Comments. 🙏
Good Bangkok history as always Pat!
I love Bangkok and been in Thailand 5x already, but this almost documentary like infos in this channel is such an eye opener! Love it and thank you for your hardwork,for us to enjoy! 🎉
สวัสดีขอบคุณที่คุณ ให้เกียรติมาเที่ยวประเทศ Thailand บ้านฉัน😊❤
ขอขอบคุณและดีใจที่คุณสนุกกับวิดีโอ!!
Too bad that the canals around Bkk are dirty..
Thanks for the video Pat. Very interesting especially the graveyards I need to try that Irish Pub, I think it is quite new
Fantastic video Pat, really really informative, and about an area we love.
I loved the Robot building. 😢
Thanks for the advice with the isaan streetfood. My Mekongpearl thinks rhaan ahaans are a vaste of money
28:52, been there several times, one of the best local food places in all of Bkk imo.
Quality vlog as always from Pat.
Does anyone know the music piece at 14:30 btw....great choice in background music Pat always has.
That's ''Air on a G String" by Bach
ไม่เละเทะ มันก็ไม่ได้งบมาทำใหม่สิ ต้องปล่อยให้เละเทะเท่าไหร่ยิ่งดี อย่าไปดูแลรักษามัน เดี๋ยวอดได้งบมาสร้างใหม่ งบประมาณดูแลรักษา เทียบไม่ได้กับงบประมาณการก่อสร้างใหม่..นี่แหล่ะไทยแลนด์
I point these things out, I don't mock them. This is Thailand, as you say.
Pat i found that with the bridge park... only a couple of years old and now neglected.. the parks on eighter side of the river are rubbish and the seemingly new toilets have no water connected and theirs no plumbing in the sinks or toilets very disappointing and a waste of an afternoon
Another good infomercial Pat will have to visit the Irish pub next trip.
You'll get a warm welcome there Sam, most of those restaurants are not on my radar!
Absolutely brilliant Pat. A masterpiece mate. I thoroughly enjoyed it 👍👍
Where are you from or born originally Pat
I’m from London and just cannot place your accent
Would you ever a move to Cambodia or Vietnam?
Thailand has got so expensive
North London, although my true accent is a bit hidden in these videos as I am trying to talk more clearly. I don't think Thailand has got as expensive as people say. 4 Baht on a litre of milk in 5 years is hardly breaking the bank.
Rama III area please I want to move there.
I give you a thumb up because you mentioned Route 66 by Depeche Mode. My all time electronic music band
Their version was sung by Martin, which is quite effective!
Did the Wat Don cemetery with you a few years back . Was a great tour round the area. I think we walked that canal with no name. I remember heaps of cats
Thanks so much for your very interesting videos Pat! Always look forward to them krap! 🙏
Excellent vdos Pat! Great to find out about the history of the various buildings and area.
I lived in the Ascott for 6 months back in 2006. Looks like there has been a lot of changes since then.
Great video. Thank you. Are these cemeteries owned by the families of those buried there or by the religious institutions that initially set them up?
The religious associations that set them up. Land gifted to them by King Rama 5
I enjoyed the drone footage intermixed with the man on the street shots. I assume you outsourced the drone work to someone (jeroen?). That being said, you poking your head into small sois or old houses is what makes it interesting.
It's a very built up area with shiny towers of different shapes so drone shots are good for this, mostly Jaroen and some were by Rob (Project Bangkok) in part 1. Usually I'm not big on drone footage otherwise it becomes expected in every video, and it becomes less personal.
Good one Pat. Interesting. Thanks for sharing
I used to stay at Sathorn Inn many times back then, didn't know it still exists. It was affordable and close to the BTS station
Your love for cats is admirable,…..good man
Someone's gotta take care of 'em!!
I LOVED that BUS. It went right to my place. So nice.
Samui now.
😊👌
another excellent video Pat, actually since i came accross your channel i have been thinking about moving back to thailand and your informative content is making me look at Bangkok. keep up the good work my man 👌💯
Thanks so much a another masterpiece and deep dive into Krungtheps history
Cheers, that was a marathon video shoot for two videos!!
+10 for those cats!
Nice one 👍 thanks
fantastic video
Yes, as expected. Another great vlog.
Only 45k subscribers? This man deserves his own tv show! Well researched and put together imo. So much better than the most of the bangkok content out there imo. Keep up the great work and thank you, very interesting and informative. Can't wait for the next one!
Cheers and thanks for the kind words! Really it's because l don't do the generic content that l dont get the big numbers but l do what l love😻
@@BangkokPat you're very welcome Pat. Great to hear you're doing what you love. That's worth more than subscribers numbers imo. All the very best to the you!
Today i walked up some of the places Pat. I found this kanal with no name.
Glad to hear that! Hope you saw some of those cats hanging out too!
Yes somebody feed them daily but not all look in good shape. Sadly.
Brilliant content Pat 👌🙏
Another gr8 vid loved the random night shots
thank you very much for this and all of your videos. I love them all. It's fascinating to see the historic places then and now and get a glimpse of what life is about in the different Sois...and by the way... nice music taste: "Well it goes to St. Louis, down to Missouri, Oklahoma City looks so, so pretty..." ;)
Another gem
Bangkok Cats with Pat - new name for the channel 😊
I appreciate the work you put into these videos. Two small comments. Earlier on you showed the storefront of Kai New Zealand. I have never been myself however know people who have been, some many times. The reports (first hand and online), while the food is good the end invoice is an eye watering (read expensive) affair. As far as Saint Louis Hospital is concerned, since their renovation, their prices are in line with Bumrungrad. I think all the private hospitals as well as Siriraj have gotten onto the fact they can milk customers by taking BP and weight, often without a nurse present (the BP machine prints out the result). So money for nothing. Some charge up to 400 baht.
Nice one again here Pat. Thanks for sharing
