- 🇧🇩 There are few countries in the world with a bigger image problem than Bangladesh. I mean, just tell me the last time you heard a good news story from the nation? Exactly! Well, I thought I'd go and see if it really was just a place of monsoon floods and outbreaks of disease or, if there were some good reasons to visit the country. And what I found might surprise you so much that you might want to come visit too...Welcome to what is perhaps the world's friendlist nation: Bangladesh!

Seamlessly stepping into that rickshaw during the intro monologue was the most epic piece of YT videography I've ever seen. What a legend!
for sure! not even planned, just go with the flow
I know right? Wondering the same thing
Yes it was amazing!
I thought the exact same thing when I saw it haha epic!
Absolutely legendary!!!
I would be overstimulated and burned out within minutes in this environment but I'm glad I get to experience it through you! Cheers!
You sound like an introvert, too much noise, hectic, too many people just drains me out.
I agree!!
@@TeleeFONEIm extraverted by western standards and I would go crazy over there on the first day.
same for me lol i would get a cultureshock
@@TeleeFONEnah bro nobody would resist a minute there if as soon as you get off the bus your swarmed by beggars
20:14 the 'bald drum' song translation is here-
"Christians will be in coffin
Muslims will be in white cloth
Hindus will be cremated
So, hey Human being, there's nothing for you to be so arrogant on earth"
Love from Dhaka, Bangladesh ❤❤
Wow! Thanks for translating. Understood only that he was singing about the three religions but did not know what he was saying.
that scene was a brilliant show of affection between 2 strangers
How beautiful! Thank you!
Sound a peiceful song. Some cultures are better than outhers ha
Love it
I am a Bangladeshi and i am thankful and grateful to you for visiting and showing our country people don't really care about our country thanks for showing our country and sorry for any inconveniences
Thanks again
Love from Bangladesh
Those two men acted as very good tour guide for you I must say. They knew decent English, were familiar with the local people and knew about interesting places to see. What a lucky encounter.
must be a constant battle/decision on if this person im running into is a friendly interesting guide thats gonna make a great video addition.. or just a beggar/scam artist trying to plunder the foreigner
@@AndrewBrowner I feel like bald is the best at recognizing that
That guy at the and with the blue shirt, seemed more like a guy who oversees construction work and led you away from the bad environment so you wouldn't see it
I was really surprised about that. And very thankful to both guides for showing him in a proper manner.
I love how Ben just walks through anywhere like he's an old timey mob boss, its wild
Yeap, that keeps him safe
A good trick is also to keep moving and don't stop.
He's British. Walking into other people's countries and acting like we own it is in our genes.
@@babyfaecThat is almost universally true, in many situations.
I remember leaving the airport in Puerto Villarta many years ago. Right before the main exist was this long hallway with lines painted on either side. Right on those lines were DOZENS of people speaking with alot of authority, demanding I show them my passport. Unfortunately many hadn't read the notes on their plane ticket mentioning these people as being time share scammers who the moment they get your passport you're stuck listening to a sales pitch for half an hour, basically until you agree to go to one of their presentations. This was obviously something sanctioned by the airport.
Just keep walking is a VERY good piece of advice in many situations.
With these genes and income You get to operate within different environments
I love how you essentially just wandered around until you randomly came across these fellas who took it upon themselves and decided to lead you around on a guided tour of Dhaka. 😂 You are a man with far too much charisma, personality, and confidence. If it were to fall into the wrong hands, it would be dangerous, but with you... It's perfect. Thank you for taking us along, once again, Mr Benjamin. 🙏
How the hell is he completely wet from sweat and this fella in blue uniform has zero sweat stains? What magic is this? 😁
Great comment.
@@xlukas93 because he is from England xD xD
Those two guide was "Security guard of Sadar Ghat, Dhaka". They are good people that's why they come forward so that vloger do not be scamd by bad people. 🇧🇩
I ran into the same guy (blue shirt) yesterday. His name is Nur. He showed me around for more than 4 hours and even introduced me to his mother :D
If anyone's going there and wants his number just answer this comment. I highly recommend him!
You've never met me but I want to say thank you for creating and sharing this video. It opened my eyes to how normal, everyday Bangladesh citizens go about their lives. I was also in a bit of a funk from my workday not going to plan but then I saw this video and it made me realise that I'm incredibly lucky to have a roof over my head and food in the pantry and a car in my driveway. Occasionally we need reminders not to take our first world lifestyles for granted. Thank you.
What does meeting him have to do with anything lol such a pointless addition to your comment
@@AZ-vp7xi
kind of pointless to be a dick
@@AZ-vp7xiand bringing that up is pointless too. Spread a little joy once in a while, mate
@@AZ-vp7xi Relax. You're losing it. Sit down.
This is why Benjamin is a legend. NO ONE has ever presented countries like Bangladesh to the world in this way. No BBC film crew, no army of Food Channel producers, just Benjamin, his camera and his "Hello!" to everyone that walks by...
Its not true. I know some peiple who did amazing travel stories feom Banglades but only in their mother languages. I do love b&b but a fact that he is famous YT creator doesnt mean that he is the best and that nobody else never did something similar or even better.
@@Biciklom_oko_sveta Give some examples. I might even agree.
@@Biciklom_oko_sveta eh benjamin is just the goat of travel youtube theres nothing to even say
@@Ingens_Scherz Luke Damant presents Bangladesh in a very nice way too
Actually there was a great BBC doc about Bangladesh and the Ganges.
There is also an old BBC doc on Bangladesh which is seminal and well known in the history of docs.
I’m in awe of Ben’s ability to find mosaics in the most unlikely places.
No soviet sink though
He's bigger than Mr Beast, the Benjamin Franklin Bankrupt 🏦💰➡️🕳️
Haha, and he made me look for mosaic where ever I go too ;)
LIVING BEING IS OUR RACE,MANKIND IS OUR RELIGION HINDU,MUSLIM,SIKH,CRISTAIN,THERE IS NO SEPARATE RELIGION

PRESENT MESSENGER of ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is SAINT RAMPALJI MAHARAJ 🙏🙏😊😊
Do you fancy him. Maybe you wanna get out more?
Your videos are always exceptionally unique and adventurous. What a beautiful take on life in Bangladesh, thank you for sharing it.
Omggg, I've been watching you for many years now. I'm sooo happy that you visited our country! 🇧🇩 I'm glad you like it here. ❤️ Hope to meet you somewhere. 😭
You went to the very raw part of Dhaka city but you will find it more comfortable on the other part. These 2 guys have done a really great job to guide you around, thanks to them.
I think its good to do so because thats where the real people live yk
Those two guys are genuises :) They had a grand old time ditching work (hence the guy changing his shirt) and probably got more money out of good will from all parties involved than they would have made at the harbour. And I'm quite sure nobody noticed that they were gone.
@@Okeanos86 good lads, too, it's small things like this that gives faith in humanity, even if their motive was skipping out on work to make better money, they opened up their world to bald, and in turn us, and we're all much better off for it
@@Okeanos86It was like an emergency call. And they did a great job responding and rising in the occasion.
I'm an openminded person and i like to see places outside of the beaten path but this is the worst nightmare for my social anxiety
Don't worry this isn't actually what it's like. He's chosen what to show for entertainment purposes. This is old Dhaka. Most ex pats etc live in the modern city where it's sushi restaurants and Ferraris.
@@Akuu820[x] doubt
Going somewhere like this would help you get over your social anxiety super quick. You should consider it
can't blame you, even I as a Bangladeshi am often embarrased to see foreigners face this situation. It's definitely not everyone's cup of tea.
@@ahmedkamalhasin2070 It also shows how fun and nice people there are, so dont be too embarrassed.
Wow, i've been binge watching your videos and this is one of if not the best. Amazing job finding those guides, they did amazing job!
Benjamin, you are really unique!! It's just as if I were there with you. Such vividness, such strength and spontaneity!! Thank you, really thank you!
This video is like a fever dream 😂 I don’t understand how Benjamin has such a positive attitude the whole time mad respect✊
Because he likes experiences
@@jake-qn3tl not everyone likes experiences like that tho, me being one
@@V8ToYy I'm in between. This is a little overwhelming for sure for most people
Westerners accustomed to quiet and peaceful living environments might find it overwhelming. However, this is the reality for many Bangladeshis and Indians, as well as for people across the entire Indian subcontinent in our daily lives.
@@jake-qn3tlyou're right, this can be overwhelming for weak people
As an Indian who lives 20 kilometers away from the Bangladesh border. I experience new places vicariously through Bald's videos. His Russian adventures will always be a TH-cam classic.
Let his Russian adventures be given another chance in the coming years, concerning his banning for now.
Do nod redeem it sanjesh
Do you also encounter how your BSF treats Bangladeshis at the border?
@@ranjanbiswas3233why would BSF treat illegal crossers nicely? I mean that's the point of their job right?
I wanna come see India one day
Such an amazing video! As a second generation Bengali living in the UK it's nice to see Bangladesh getting some media. Bangladesh and the UK have a special relationship as there are a lot of Bengalis (primarily from sylhet region) who live in the UK. More vids please!!
You are British now.
ABSOLUT GREAT BEHIND THE SCENES - THANK YOU A LOT 💙
Honestly, much respect to the guys that showed Bald around the city. T seems that they were genuinely having a great time :D
hope he cut him a good deal!
I love that thay had generic blue shirts, that looked like some police or security. And that opened them door to any fabric and nonbulic place. What a legends:)
@@crazy-channsame
Heroin
@@tgregiexactly what I was thinking. Noticed him taking it off and hiding it once on the top of that boat. 😂 legend
There is a reason why Benjamin releases his first video in ages and has almost half a million views in just 11 hours. Absolutely classic and epic, as always. Thanks, Mr, Bald!
its 22 hours since the video now and three quarter of a million views. :D
Been the best travel show going for the past 5 years. Rick Steves is #2
South asian related videos wont have lackings on getting views..india, Bangladesh, pakistan these countries got tons of people and they would rush in when you post something about them or their country.. Common youtube algorithm
As a Bangladeshi living in Ireland, I laughed so hard a few times while watching the video. You're probably been poorer area of Dhaka. Still so happy to see that few lads helped you out. Haha this people are insanely friendly.
It's amazing where Bald will go to get his viewers the most interesting content!
Keep the good work up, Benjamin!!!
I appreciate that Benjamin does not accept endorsements, ever. No sales pitches, no promotions, just pure content. 👍🏻
He should
@@JayCeeMax he has in the past
I mean yeah you can appreciate but I def think he should have, it wouldn't hurt the video, he could just talk about the ad while filming the city and walking around, I would still watch. This gives him an opportunity to make money, but from what I understand he doesn't need the money, he's ok with what he has, it enough to travel and do the videos like he wants.
Except he folded like a cheap suit with plandemic propaganda. Broke me heart.
What you mean? @@ducksinarowpatience3670
Wow, just wow. This feels so real and in the middle of life. No one can show faraway countries and cultures like Ben. You are a legend!
😮 You are a great BN!!! 😮
Ship Yard, Garment Factory, Residents Homes, Baber Shop, and History lessons. Great content from a local perspective.
Wow. Your flow is amazing ✨ You get so much info communicated to us as you journey, and it feels like we’re meeting the peoples as they are and life as it is outside the confines of our self imposed boxes. Most definitely subbed 👍🏼
Absolutely amazing video. Ben has no fear and it's a delight to watch him interact with locals of all countries. Better than any network or reality garbage on TV.
I felt in his voice some concerns by moment
@@malzahar33 he does amaizing job to refocus on other thing when ever weird situations happen.
A double decker bus haha
Nah, the Kardashians show is better and also those MTV reality shows.
No one does travel videos like Ben does. Fantastic adventure - as always.
💯
Hes a n9nce tho
Dhaka, a 3rd world city, has better and worse areas. Outside the big cities, the rivers (huge), fresh air, flush green fields...amazing, and almost void of tourists.
This guy is brilliant on camera. He's able to just jump in the deep and make it work. Also, there's a bit of journalistic quality. Great stuff.
he's a great bluffer but he's had a few scrapes, his saving grace is his schoolboy silliness
You are my favourite TH-camr, i watch your videos most of the time. Thank you for visiting my country and giving us the scope to watch, know the world through your videos. ❤❤
As someone who was raised on a small farm in Ohio, my anxiety could not handle such chaos.
It is INSANE!!! I'm speechless!
As a Bangladeshi, and Dhaka-ite, I also get overwhelmed by Dhaka sometimes XD
As someone who was raised in a big city, my anxiety could not handle such chaos.
I dont think someone raised in Downtown Manhattan could even handle such chaos tbh
The barrage of chaos is amazing, I would need a 8 hour sleep after 20 min.
Those two blokes who guided Ben around are two legends, really had a great time together. Bangladeshis seem to be really friendly. What an incredible video, just unbelievable. Thank you Bald!
That one tour guide you found was legit amazing, he showed you SO MUCH of their little city.
I ran into the same guy (blue shirt) as Ben yesterday too. His name is Nur and he is very friendly person. Showed me around for more than 4 hours.
I just love how Ben takes us around the world to find many beautiful people
The heat is unbearable out there, the fact that ben is able to run around for hours through some of the worst conditions is incredible. All while making an entertaining video. Also seeing the poverty out there is really eye opening, especially seeing it for myself a few months ago in person on a work trip.
Imagine banging on a ship for 12 hrs in those conditions, every day
@@iflycessnas4707 I know it's unbelievable that people can work like that. Not a hint of safety or ear protection. It must be unbearable.
They arent poor, nor are they hungry. They have some of the richest culture and cuisine in the world, just because they dont meet modern "western" "standards" that doesnt give you the right to pity them. They are less depressed, suicidal and mentally ill than most europeans and americans. So feel sorry for yourself first before you judge people who dont live the same way as you.
@@chepesantacruz777 much as i agree with you on the cuisine and cultural richness. You are incredibly naive if you think a majority of these people aren't impoverished and by denying this with copium you're acting against them. no one was being judgemental except you.
@@chepesantacruz777I don't feel sorry for them I certainly wouldn't give them money they don't have the right to beg u for money when they are dressed and fed. Them boys wouldn't leave him alone and the way they just saying money for nothing. Good on him for saying you don't get money for nothing
I went to Bangladesh for three weeks in the late 90s after visiting 44 other countries over more than three years. The people were incredibly friendly, and I think that’s primarily due to virtually no tourists visiting there. Though one visit is enough, it provided a good glimpse into a place that gets very few visitors.
From this video it seems they just have no boundaries and really want money. That's the opposite of friendly, they're like flies on a corpse
visit with you daughter or wife
One visit is enough 🤣🤣🤣🤣nah bro you need to get more bangla experience. Come here i will buy your tickets🤣🤣
Yeah, that's not a place to visit. You can lie to yourself as much as you want, but reality is what it is.
Did you hold your nose throughout the visit, or pinch it ocassionally or was that just before you disembarked from Bangladesh airways where rumour has it you have to sh*t on Bangladesh so they can recycle it to save their economy?
Fantastic. When i was watching this video i don't have any boring. Thanks for coming in Dhaka and also thanks for exploring our old capital city 🎉❤
Love your content man! Totally different than others! Unique ❤️🇧🇩
this was one of the funniest episodes in a while! I liked the two unlikely guides and their humour. You captured the life and the way people live so well. Your openness and friendliness opens people up. Amazing job Ben!
the fact that one man was rubbing and playing with another mans bald head would be homo in USA ....what a contrast between cultures
Így igaz!🤣
The head drumming was great. Witty people exist in all cultures, and it's great when you find them.
The King is back! Bald's videos are always insightful, entertaining, and legendary. You are the origin of travel vlogs on TH-cam
Facts influenced me to vlog
@@AmalekTroughtyour vids are cool but you should do a lot of research like bald does

@AmalekTrought I have subscribed. Good luck brother
@@Yasser.Osman.A.Z. Thanks I appreciate it
I miss the months I would spend in Asia, this video brings back so many memories. All the random alleys and mini adventures that I don’t get in the USA. Looking around and being the only person sweating through my shirt, the heat and humidity makes Florida seem mild.
I really enjoyed this, it was totally immersive and natural and felt you really showed us the real Bangladesh. What a crazy and chaotic place but wonderful people all just trying to get on with life. Thank you for taking us on this journey.
I live in Australia and met a bangladeshi guy through work, here on a student visa. He is one of the friendliest, most hospitable, and most generous people i know and i've come to be really good friends with him and love learning about his culture. He had only known me for a couple of weeks and would invite me over to his house. " You are not a guest here brother, make yourself at home". Such a friendly people.
people from south-asian countries can be nice too? say wuttt /s

I spent some time in an Indonesian city that looked like this. The airconditioned and quiet hotel room feels like heaven after a day outside.
Indonesia is a lot richer then Bangladesh though. Not so many beggars either
@@MrJimheeren agreed indonesias standard of life is far better than this.
@@MrJimheerenTotally Agree 💯
Was it Medan? I got some Medan vibes from what Mr. Bald showed us of Dhakar
Was it jakarta or medan?
Been awhile since I have seen your videos, so good to watch again. Loved your series on the middle asian countries (the stans).
Writing from Bangladesh here, welcome to our country. The places you're visiting are some of the most chaotic, overly crowded places of Bangladesh and their main language is Bengali. But there are other parts in the country where you can get people who know better English, offer hygienic food, has less chaos and what not. Please also visit those places and not only the chaotic and poor ones.
As an example, many Bangladeshis don't even shave their beards in shops like that, we have better and more hygienic barber shops for this. That's just an example. Hopefully you get the full experience of visiting Bangladesh but not only the bad ones.
which city is better in bangladesh?
@@rizkyadiyanto7922 The Capital Dhaka has less chaotic and cleaner places, there are Chittagong, Rajshahi, Rangpur, Bogra, Khulna, Sylhet, Moulvibazar and many more which are better for tourists.
I wouldn't go to your country sorry
@@marieminshull1400 Thanks. 🥱
@@marieminshull1400did someone invited you? But feel free to come we don't judge people by their humor
I wish that Mr Bald will be uploading more frequently. But unfortunately, it's not our choice, he has achieved his dream of travelling the world and have been through it all. He literally inspired me to learn languages and know more about world and how amazing we people are with our diversity, traditions and cultures. This man deserves everything good his way..
The infrequent uploads make it all the more special when he does upload, we’re lucky that Mr Bald is producing the best travel content in the history of TH-cam
look at the views.. He is not doing this for charity he's making millions.@@briansexton2011
Benjamin is a geomaxxer God preying on brown women 👼
you knowe why i dont like to travel
once im there i think
shit i need to go al that way back home!
I wish he was still aloud in Russia, miss those adventures the most.
Bald and Bankrupt is the best travel TH-camr hands down. Every time I think he’s done it he come out with something even better, cheers mate.
It is definitly on my bucking list... I just visited Bahrain a week ago and met some people from Bangladesh there, extremely friendly guys!
That was not bad. I like videos like this better than the dangerous ones. The fact that you managed to go to the busiest area, kept your cool, and carried on your thought process is just very impressive.
Honestly this is one of the best and rawest footages ever of bangladesh. No other vlogger has done what Ben is doing in travel vlogging. Raw and natural. He shows it the way it is and he blends in with the locals so genuinely and naturally.
he definitely did not blend in lol but i know exactly what you mean
Old Dhaka does NOT represent the whole of Bangladesh 🙄
@@HomeTravelGardenInspo no one said that
Check out Gabriel traveller
I've been watching him for years and I didn't know his name was Ben, he should be calling his channel "Ben, The Bald & Bankrupt"
I get nervous when I have to go to London to catch a train, yet here is Bald in a completely different country, walking around with only his camera, and still being able to understand and communicate with the people there, amazing stuff.
TBH London area isn't very far from being like Bangladesh.
Do you mean this is not London ??
But I thought this was London 🤔🤔
Get out and see the world. London is 5star compared to much of the world and not bad by world standards
He was making a quip about demographics@@ronniet8802
I thought this was San Fransisco?
One of your best videos in a while. Amazing stuff.
I've watched a couple of documentaries on these ship yards, including Reggie Yates, but this short walk with a realistic commentary seemed a bit more enjoyable. Thank you
Those two guys were absolute champs.
Spoke enough English to help him learn about the area and showed him around with ease getting into any area.
As a Bangladeshi, I would say the second guy had excellent conversational English for his socioeconomic status. He may have worked with foreigners or worked abroad before. Rare to see that because spoken English is not something generally taught in Bangladesh before the University level.
@Tpoleful You're absolutely right! Despite his socioeconomic background, he had a quite decent command of the English language, and he was a genuinely kind person. By the way, I'm from India, and many of the things you mentioned about Bangladesh and Bangladeshis can also apply to India and Indians, respectively.
They look like and acted like friendly cops that are proud of their city and country.
I laughed so hard when you said to the guy 'you got the eyes of a demon' haha. Also love how you interact with the child beggars. You just pay them ebough attention that it is not rude or arrogant. And in the end you find a way that benefits all when you let them guide you to a barber shop. Your empathy for people of all ages goes a long way.
Anyone understand what that man said to Bald?
This LUL so good😂
The man said "you look like johny sins"
sounded like 'cut the crap' but not 100%@@Chucky134
Those child beggars are honestly annoying, wish their parents would teach them better than that. But the way he deals with them is good, I’m amazed by his patience!!
Wow you finally made it to Bangladesh, this makes me very happy. I've been following your adventures for a long time. My favourite video being the one where you escaped the Bolivian man eating villagers. 😂 enjoy Bangladesh mate! It's great minus the traffic and the heat 😅
You're amazing. just take care always every travel you have. Keep on pushing, good luck bro! I recommend to visit our beautiful country Philippines also in which you will see the real paradise scenery adventure, nice culture with happy loving friendly and hospitable people.
This video depicts authenticity and realism as well as hardship of present situations in densely populated city in the world without any modification. Thanks for visiting 🇧🇩.
Hello Benjamin. I am a Bangladeshi watching you for the last 4 years .I never thought that you would be visiting Bangladesh. I feel honoured to see a Bangladesh Video in your channel.I hope that Bangladesh will be one of the best countries you ever visited.Just make sure not to carry too many items while exploring (Pickpocket) and your surroundings.Other than that it's pretty safe.
Wishing you a very good and enjoyable journey .Take Care😉
Man, it is so, so Noisy in your country!!! It is Insane! How do you take this noise?!? Greetings from Bulgaria! :)
@@vasiovasio It's not really that noisy everywhere in our country. A little glimpse of the busiest and craziest part of the capital city doesn't depict a country's full picture, I believe.

This is the wildest video I've seen from Mr. Bald. Not the most dangerous, but easily the most chaotic. I can't imagine living in this environment.

Is there a more interesting channel on TH-cam? Seriously, Ben just does things differently. So captivating from beginning to end. And it’s all real life stuff, truly increíble work.
Yes- watch Mr Beast hang out with some weirdos while he blows up crap
Yeah this isn’t the typical “I’m staying at this 5-star hotel, eating at this Michelin Star restaurant” travel channel.
It's crazy how he pulls this off way better than any actual TV show ever could have. I like how he's not even trying to be this big production either. So many TH-camrs try to be this big spectacle but with Bald it's Llike he just picked up a camera one day and decided he was gonna travel and show people for fun. He has no real posting schedule and disappears for months at a time and will probably juat end this channel abruptly someday when he's bored of it and yet he's created one of the best series of videos of all time without even really trying very hard. Such a legend.
I've done my share of traveling, eating in modest eateries, and stayed in modest accommodations. His travels seem completely authentic to the point of hopefully scaring off the non-hackers to the traveling lifestyle.

If somebody wants to start travel vlogging this is the required channel at the front of the "research first" syllabus. This was an awesome video Ben. I loved that the pace of editing matched the pace of the experience very well, the banging of the hammers the 'money!'

I was afraid Ben would get ripped off by the rickshaw driver at the beginning since he just jumped on and didn’t negotiate a price. Happy to see he didn’t and got rewarded for his honesty.
I don't think they are used to tourists so ripping off tourists isn't a thing there. Although extremely hectic, the people seemed to have a small town vibe.
@@toolbaggers Ripping off tourists is absolutely a thing here. But touts are kinda scared to scam foreigners. If they complain and police gets involved it can be very bad for scammers. Locals get scammed all the time, especially is touristy places.
They are of different culture ... not all poor people rip people off, especially the people there are quite close to Sunni Islam there and ripping people off in strict sunni Islamic cultures is not a thing.
They are a majority Muslim country so they will not think of scamming him. The tenets of religion guide their morals.
@@JosephMwema lmao I'm a Bangladeshi. This country is full of scammers. Just open any Bangladeshi news website and see for yourself. Religion has nothing to do with this.
Thank you Bald ...that was epic on showing Dhaka👌👌👌
Brother, you've experienced the busiest area of Dhaka, but there are other parts of the city that are much more well-organized. One crucial point to note is that the information you gave about the garment factories is not accurate (31:00 minute), Those small rooms actually produce exclusively for the local market of BD. However, brands like Zara and H&M have their products manufactured in highly advanced factories. Some of these factories are so impressive that you might mistake them for 5-star hotels.
I've been a fan of B&B for the past four years, and seeing him wandering around in my homeland truly left me in awe! FCKING LEGEND! BBIG FAN
Im sweating just watching you make your way around crowded streets of Dhaka. Those kids would of pushed me over the edge.

Fell through the worm hole after watching mr bald and timmy on the migrant tour to usa.. which was crazyyyy.. Bangladesh is the kind of place im perfectly fine saying that ive been there with mr bald by youtube. Thanks for all the great content. Laughed out loud a couple times.
You creat the very best videos causes you talk to people so much the whole time while you are filming and telling us about everything that you know about brother ❤
Talking to the people and learning us their culture life is what creates the best videos ❤😊
It’s why you are very successful at social media marketing creating great videos with so many of us supporting following you 😊❤
I spent 3 months in Bangladesh when I was 18 a few years back and this is bringing back so many memories. The people were so kind and friendly and would always shout ‘bideshi’ (foreigner) at us!🤣. The people, the food, the noise, the public transport - I miss it greatly.
Come again brother 😊Bangladesh is waiting for you ❤
you wouldn't miss it if you had to live it
The smell*
Where are you from brother
@@pooopeeheard bangladesh
I'm a Bangladeshi. 🇧🇩 Absolutely loved this video. It was amazing that you took risk and trusted two strangers (they were super nice btw)! I wouldn’t do that, even being a Bangladeshi. Lol
But this is not the whole picture of Bangladesh but a small part of Dhaka tbh. I'm inviting you to visit Bangladesh again. This time not in Dhaka, may be in a small village outside Dhaka, you'll see how beautiful the country is and the people are. You will be amazed by their hospitality.
Thanks
Why are Hindus living there in poor conditions? Are they getting discriminated?
@@leechee5721 Where did you see Hindus?! They are Muslim familys shown in this video, who are living in some shelters. Ben got it wrong when he said some of them are Hindus. In fact you will find thousands of poor Muslims sleeping in the street of Dhaka. You will hardly find any Hindu there.
Sometimes, it’s really far more efficient to hire some local guides who know their way around.
@@nazmulhassan6732Even so, why would people living in those poor conditions prefer the overcrowded city instead of trying a rural lif?
idk if job offers pays up for living conditions...
@@bragagd1618 There isn't enough job opportunities for people in most of the rural areas in Bangladesh. So, they chose to live those places for absolute financial necessity disregarding the health hazards.
I had a blast watching thank you
This vlog is on another level. No youtuber has done so thrilling vlog before, here in old Dhaka. Thanks for showing the world a small piece of versatile people of The capital.
why do you look austro asaitic and not dravidian eh?
I am sorry?
@@hellonoitsfine9681
After three months with no videos it was nice hearing Bens voice again. Proof that he's alive.
Blimey, I never quite expected to see you venturing to my homeland, particularly during the height of summer! I've faithfully followed your travels for over four years, and you undoubtedly reign as my favorite travel blogger. Your style is refreshingly devoid of ostentation and commercialism, offering an informal yet remarkably informative perspective.
I happen to reside in the southeastern corner of our fine nation, in Noakhali, and I would like to extend a most sincere and genuine invitation to you. It's not a mere formality; you are genuinely welcome to explore this region at your leisure. I must say, I sorely miss your earlier blogs detailing your adventures in the former Soviet states and Eastern Europe.
Have a smashing and safe journey, pal. Cheers!
What a kind invitation - I hope that Ben sees it and you two can meet sometime.😊
you have a better vocabulary than 97% of native english speakers.
@@yearight6294 exactly my thought. Excellent.
@@yearight6294 they might be a native english speaker given the colonization within the region
I can show you some of the post soviet states😂
Glad to see you’re back brother, always anticipating a awesome video from you. I recently encouraged my dad to watch a vid with me, he didn’t take to it, but I still love you! 😂
Good video! Thank you sir. 😎👍
What a Legend! Dissappears for 3 months then returns with this banger 😂 bald’s vlogs just never get old!
why for 3 months?
Brother, I suddenly saw your videos today and realized that you were really enthusiastic about visiting Bangladesh. First of all, I would like to thank you for coming to my country and introducing my country to people through your channel. But after watching a few of your videos, what I realized is that when you travel, you mostly meet a little lower class of people who can't actually present my country to you in that way, but instead, you have to suffer from different angles. As our country is a populous country, if you go to any local place like our railway station, you will meet beggars and other uneducated people who can't really give you an idea about our country. By doing this, you and your audience are presenting a very poor image of my country. Which is not the true form of my country. If you want to know my country properly, you must visit my country again and have at least one university student as your guide. By doing this he will guide you around by giving you the right information and taking you to the right places as well as save you from the irony of various lower castes. Thank you.
You made me a big fan of you. Salute to you. Love you from Bangladesh.🇧🇩
You don't realize the affect Ben's channel has on you through the years of watching until you are abroad travelling and find yourself more interested in old Soviet mosaics and architecture rather than the local touristic sites....was recently in Georgia, Tbilisi and got really excited about an old Soviet built bus stop or so I presumed...I must have been a little over excited I guess, at least the looks I got from my wife and daughter were priceless, and my wife asking me ''since when are you so excited bout Soviet architecture?.....I said its a Bald thing which seemed to confuse them even more...I could here my daughter muttering must be a midlife crisis 😂😂😂....thanks for what you do Ben, you have changed the way I see things while travelling....and I think that is a good thing....Dr. B.❤
I completely understand you and I agree!+
Mr Bald, so happy you are back. I started watching a video a day on my lunch break at work and they help me get through my boring office work life. Literally started off with your first ones in India and am working my way through them.
I am from Bangladesh and even I have not seen these places. Even though I grew up in Dhaka. Thank you for showing these places to us.
I went to Dhaka once and was anxious by people staring and following me, even waiting outside cafes for 30 minutes, staring at me through the window just to follow me whenever I left. They didn't approach me, didn't say anything, just follow me. Gave me terrible vibes and made me paranoid at night. Never again
sounds terrifying
Haha I feel you man. My country's people are a bit off putting to foreigners sometimes. They are just very curious to see white people. You guys are like exotic creatures here lol. But I can assure you we don't mean any harm.
ne işin var la 10. dünya ülkesinde lol
Thank you@@ahmedkamalhasin2070
You experienced the life of a celebrity like Kanye being followed around by paparazzi
When I was in India, on my first walk around similar sites and streets, I was offered a free ride on the back of a motorcycle by a random stranger and later got a free cold drink from him. A bit later on, walking further, I was given the honors to plant a symbolic tree on a busy street by some other people I obviously had never met, etc, etc...and I'm not even that sociable :D We westerners are a long stretch away from that kind of hospitality.
Yeah the tree planting stuff is very odd 😮
We have a saying in India that goes 'atithi devo bhava' which directly translates to guest is god. No wonder you received the hospitality that you did
u r lucky one, the drink could be spiked
No one in their right mind would compare the filthy Bangladesh with the great nation of India.
@@anwayapimpale2644thank you for sharing this
Hello, I'm from Bangladesh as well. you have just explored the root of the city that's the old Dhaka town. There is much more to discover mainly in the countryside, and the actual experience is hiding in rural villages. welcome to BANGLADESH.
Amazing content baldy, your adventures are in a league of their own..bravo 👏👏
I live in Dhaka my whole life. Even I haven't been to that Ship building area. These travel vloggers are really showing the interesting parts of my country. Thanks, bald and bankrupt. I first watched your Dagestan vlog.
Ben my brother you're literally the only TH-camr I never miss even a single video from. You help us see places and meet people we never could and see how they live. Thank you so much for your videos, please keep em coming!❤
same here lol
