My goal with this channel is to grow a community of people who like to have fun.
People who like to travel.
And people who understand you only live once!
I want to inspire you to see that being retired is the best chapter in life.
At the end of the day, this Channel is all about YOU. Let me know what you want to see next and I'll do my best to make it happen!
After all...I'm Retired, Working For You.
Thailand's is the 2nd largest in the world. The largest one, opened in Nov 2019, is in Chicago at 3251 sq. meters (35000 sf) and has 4 floors. I'm in Chicago and used to be a baker there. Our recipes came from Princi (joint venture partnership with Starbucks) in Milan, Italy and we received frozen dough from a central kitchen in Chicago every day to be baked fresh in the store twice a day. Very expensive but customers in Chicago don't mind paying for good quality and the "ambiance". Cocktails and wine were the big moneymakers though.
Not sure if Starbucks in Thailand is the most expensive !
Damn it you beat me too it 😂 thats the only thing good about chicago
@@anagamin6793 not so expensive but very very good coffee they brewed over there.👍👍👍👍👍
Yes u are right ❤
ICONSIAM is the most beautiful shopping mall I have ever seen. It is worth the visit, even if you don't buy anything. The top of luxury (you can shop Bentley of Maserati, Gucci and Louis Vuitton), but also mid range restaurants, and fast food. The extraordinary is the water music show in the evenings ! Splendid !
55555 omg Chirst! Im so impress and laugh when see you drink coffee from amazon! 555 best moment
원스 다
One s네
Hahahaฮาก๊ากเลยตอนโชว์แก้วอเมซอน
From somebody that LOVES SE Asia (and misses being there horribly now), this channel is truly the best! Great job, Chris!
A Canadian hoser, drinking Seattle coffee...in an Asian mall. I love the world!
what a great comment!
Crap coffee at that.
@@RetiredWorkingForYou meant as such-Im a fellow hoser and fan, brother!
@@glengamble526 did you see today's video Glen?
@@RetiredWorkingForYou yes, I thanked you...and thanks again!
I didn’t have chance to go there,thank you for making me see a beautiful place in Bangkok 👍👍👍
My pleasure 😊
You just cracked me up hahah. At the end revealing your cafe amazon coffee! I stopped drinking at starbucks and coffee club a long time ago. Cafe amazon is so much cheaper and good quality as well. Keep up the good work your videos are really becoming more professionally produced each time I watch.
Love it!!
Local is always a better choice. Keep drinking that coffee at home.
You got that right!
@@RetiredWorkingForYou Cafe Boolan 25 baht. You know the deal!
So true..dont like Starbucks..since years i dont go...
Amazon is my favorite too. Great review, will definitely take my youngest son as he loves caramel frap.
Completely agree the price for Starbucks is same as if I was in Aus so no point unless its to treat the kids.
Dang it... now I miss Thailand more now.
Thanks for watching!
from my experiences Thailand has the best café ever..... I go there every year. only Thailand and Japan that I like 🇹🇭
you are a better man than i, waiting in huge line for crappy over priced coffee .. dedicated videographer
yeah its really huge Starbucks, i was there last Saturday... stay safe always sir
Thanks, you too!
That whole shopping centre is really nice went there November 2019. The architecture and detail is immense
Hey Chris. Happy Family day to you and your family. As a proud Canadian make sure to celebrate ! !
Will do!
I’m in Thailand right now and I didn’t even know about this Starbucks opening. Not that I drink coffee anyway. Just illustrating the point that you’re doing such a great job of sharing about Thailand. Thanks for all you do Chris!
Looks like an awesome place to set up and work. So many new places have opened since last year. Can't wait to go back soon.
yeah lots of cool spaces to work in there.
I never buy Starbucks and stick to local coffee but it’s huge!
Thai cafes making old fashion coffee are so much better corporations
I drink enough coffee to support both
That's basically why SB failed in Australia 😆
That's my thought as well. I usual don't buy Starbucks unless I get Starbucks gift cards from friends and family.
that starbucks croissant import cruise cracked me up lmao
Looks very beautiful. A nice place to meet up with a friend or just hang out alone and read a book. I love visiting Starbucks all over the world. I like to see and experience the different drinks, sandwiches and pastries offered because they vary vastly from the USA. Thanks for sharing this tour.
Best channel in Thailand
I'm not a massive fan of Starbucks but even I have to admit that's a pretty stunning place and the views from the outside area are just spectacular 😀
Fantastic
WOW..!! For the size of that Starbucks.. AND a BIG Wow for your camera work and editing Chris...;0) this is your best video technically speaking. I enjoyed watching it from a creative veiw.
Well done mate.
Wow, thanks!
Finally ended up for Cafe Amazon's Thai milk tea, that's the best part of it, Chris 😁😁😁
Incredible view, awesome video.
I need to wake up & smell the ☕
🇹🇭🇬🇧👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Your humour infected info is exquisite Chris😂.. ship it in mate👍👍🙏🙏
Deal!
I love this video and like your sense of humor! I'm visiting this cafe tomorrow so I really appreciate this video :)
Thanks for the quick update on a great place
This channel and CB Media's channel makes me want to move to Thailand tomorrow.
hope you make it!!
Thx....now I miss BKK more. 😀
chers.
We visited ICONSIAM in 2018..... beautiful area, inside and out!
Great small places in Thailand have good coffe
Great retired report
i agree 100%
@@RetiredWorkingForYou please can you do a video for teaching jobs in Thailand 🙏
One of you best so far.
Hi Chris and thanks for another great and interestng video about my lovely Thailand 🇹🇭
I like starbuks but i will always prefer a great Thai cafe !!!!
Cheeres from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Thanks for watching!
You have great taste 👅👍👍👍
It’s beautiful and Artistically done up I can’t wait to visit Bangkok specially to have coffee here. I wish Tourist are allowed sooooooon
You can go, depending on what country you are leaving. Google it. We have hoops to jump through but are trying to get there this year.
@@larrainedeloach726 I am from Pakistan and been to Thailand 23 times before covid but feeling sad now
Chao Doi coffee is my go to perk me up, when in Thailand.
I love thailand for holidays and thaifoods
Place looks great, Will definitely visit for the view, but Starbucks is the worst coffee in the world, failed miserably here in Australia, will always buy from the locals, keep up the great videos
Haha! Guess you’ve never had Tim Hortons!
Peter Hodge yes i agree from Sydney 🤣🤣
Thailand can be expensive if you want to live a western lifestyle there.
It depends on what you consider western lifestyle. You can still enjoy luxury at budget prices, but it's so much on offer - spending loads of money is as easy as anywhere. Especially if you get in the monopoly money mindset because the bath generally is worth less than most western currencies.
To me, as Bangkokian love to have local coffee
but I like it
From my experience a western lifestyle in Bangkok is at least expensive if not more expensive then in the west.
@@Dodger1999 but with better weather....
The Starbucks Reserve Roastery Chicago. Located at the corner or North Michigan Avenue and Erie Street on Chicago's Magnificent Mile, the Roastery is five floors and 35,000 square feet, making it the largest Starbucks in the world.
It’s about 4 blocks from where I am.
thanks!
Cheers
Thank you for knowledge.
I like your presentation
🇹🇭🇨🇦🤝❤️👍✌️🍺🍻
So nice of you
Loved your bicycle tour with Global Travel Mate...you are truly amazing and generous with everyone especially pushing his channel. Cheers
My pleasure!
Love your videos Chris. Thank you :)
Thanks for taking one for the team today Chris hopefully the booze is better than their coffee.
Glad they are doing something for the community. We might have to take them on in a challenge though.
You bet
This is a place people come to hang out and enjoy the view and spend time. You do not come here to get a coffee to go and walk out. Much different than in the US or elsewhere. This is a luxury experience that people do for a special occasion. There are also benefit cards from Thailand Starbucks that has rewards similar to the US. Buy one get one, free desert etc after earning points. Before pandemic Starbucks on the 2nd floor, Icon Siam, always busy with tourists and locals.
The biggest starbucks is in Chicago which has 35k sq ft across 5 floors. Ive been to the second biggest one in Tokyo which has 4 floors and quite humongous. This one in bangkok looks great too.
Oh wow! Thanks for the info.
I was so sad when I heard that Crate and Barrel was going to be converted into a Starbucks. Chicago retail is heading in an odd direction (and not a good one!)
Wow Starbucks with a view! Very cool. When I am in Sydney I avoid Starbucks as there are so many excellent cafes here, In fact Starbucks closed so many of their stores here as they can't compete.
I must admit I do visit Starbucks when I am in Asia. Good consistent coffee.
Hi Chris, you are so gifted with your camera and editing. Everything looks beautiful and great! Thanks 😀
Thanks so much!
That’s like a whole shopping mall in one shop 🤔😎🇦🇺👍 - Thanks Chris
Any time!
I think the biggest one is the roastery in Chicago on Michigan Ave 35k square ft. When it opened tourists would stay outside in long lines in the snow and rain just to get in.
oh thanks!
LOL haaaaaaaaaaaaaa
happy .. ending w/Amazon coffee
Chris not a fan of starbucks but love your videos miss Thailand carnt wait to get back there towball
Do you have a link of that coffee farm/roaster?
Yeah I second this request, please let us know the Coffee you are getting Chris?
Chris's videos: the Venn diagram intersection of great information and shameless satire. Keep 'em coming.
Glad you like them! and you got it 100% right!
Thank you very much. After I watched your video. I feel like I m at home. Because I m living in UK. Good to catch up about Thailand.
My pleasure 😊
แอดมินทำคลิปบ้านริมคลองลาดพร้าวหน่อยสิครับ
ผมจะรอนะ ขอบคุณล่วงหน้าครับ
💘💞💖💝💓💗💕
+1
บ้านที่ทำใหม่ตรงนั้น ดูดีขึ้นเยอะเลยนะครับ เทียบกับสมัยก่อน เป็นสลัมและสกปรกมากๆ
เสียดายที่ๆตรงนั้น หลายคนไม่ชอบ และไม่โอเคด้วย เพราะก่อนหน้านี้ คนพวกนี้มารุกล้ำ และไม่ใช่เจ้าของที่ คือมาอยู่แบบผิดกฏหมายสร้างบ้านริมน้ำของตัวเองเอาดื้อๆ แบบน่าเกลียด ตอนนี้กลับได้บ้านใหม่สวยๆไปโดยปริยาย ทั้งๆที่เป็นสมบัติของชาติ ของส่วนรวม ทำให้หลายคนรู้สึกไม่ดี เพราะทุกคนที่ต้องจ่ายค่าเช่า รู้สึกว่าคนพวกนี้เอาเปรียบคนอื่น มาอยู่ฟรีกันถึง 50 ปี ทั้งๆที่ที่แถวนั้นคนอื่นต้องซื้อกันอย่างน้อยตารางวาละ 50,000. แต่ถ้าไม่ทำคนพวกนี้ก็ไม่ยอมเปลี่ยนแปลงและลงทุนอะไรเลย เหมือนที่ ดร.โสภณ ท่านกล่าวไว้ว่า เป็นการปล้นชาติ เพื่อกฎหมู่. แต่อย่างว่า เราคนไทย เค้าทำกันแบบนี้ คนอย่างเราก็คงต้องยอมรับ เพราะไม่อย่างนั้น ประเทศก็จะไม่พัฒนา และภาพก็จะออกมาไม่ดี มองไปทางไหนก็เป็นชุมชนแออัด และสกปรก แต่ถ้าคิดในแง่พัฒนากรุงเทพ แบบนี้ก็คงดีแล้วมั้งครับ ในความเห็นผมนะ.
being a coffee lover, I would always prefer the local coffee, preferably drip ones 👌☕️
I agree with you. The range in prices is nice to have. Most the time I'm a street food / Cafe Amazon guy. But there's nothing wrong with a little splurging once in awhile.
👍 Nice for the occasional splurge, change of pace/scenery.
thanks, Chris. worth it if you're going to telework for a several hours I guess. with all the new metro stations opening up and skywalks, parks, etc.. seems like BKK is making progress toward being a more liveable and walkable place.
Time for Luckin Coffee to also open up a few stores in beautiful Thailand
@Tobcmu Surit Awesome to hear, did not know they already had stores in Thailand
Considering the high number of Chinese tourists in normal times Luckin Coffee will do well.
@@Dodger1999 Agree!
Hah! I liked your drink reveal at the end!
If I ever go, it'll literally be just to taste the exclusive drinks, but other than that, I would go to Cafe Amazon too.
Nice beer in Starbucks
Good on you Chris! Loved that you didn’t buy SB in the end😂
Starbucks in BKK or some of the most expensive I’ve come across in my world travels and although I shouldn’t… I much prefer the insanely sweet street vending drip coffee that can be found just right outside most of these busy malls! Happy travels. Thank you for all your work bringing us pinners-4-BKK insights into the Kingdoms capital. Can’t wait to get back to Thailand in the coming year.
Amazon its best choice Chris. 😁
Favorite coffee: If I'm traveling then it's Amazon. If I'm in town, then Beyond Cafe. I think they are comparable for coffee, but Beyond Cafe here in Udon has better cakes. 555
A good conclusion。Amazon coffee which is one-third of Stuckbucks’ price might be a better idea for similar drinks. Haha 😂
Hi Chris, did not know Iconsiam has now a Starbucks and become the biggest ! 😱
Cannot wat to go there. Maybe during the week to avoid the queue 🤔
And maybe take only one small coffee (americano) for 2..... so expensive 😅
Thank you so much for sharing this video !
The first Starbucks is highly overrated too. Huge lines.
Nice video, cheers
Love your Videos. I am from Germany and love travelling Thailand in the past. You videos bring uns happyness during these hard Covid times withouth travelling. Thank you!
Happy to hear that!
Our favourite coffee is a older lady and her husband with a street cart on Silom Road between Soi 20 and Triple 2 Hotel 20 baht and it's the most delicious in the world Amazing coffee and beautiful friendly Thai people that have been in the same spot for the 20 years we have been visiting Bangkok
Chris maaan. You are seriously the ultimate content Creator. You are epic. You inspire me with every video. I don’t know if you know me by name but I’ve been a subscriber since you had 602 subs
I always feel like I accomplished something after visiting a Starbucks....strange but I do like the coffee when it’s the right bean and barista...beautiful though..thanks for that....
thanks for another great comment Craig!
Would love to visit that one day. And appreciate the continued price comparisons between what you can get at higher end chain stores like these and what you can get on the street foods, as always showing that Bangkok doesn't have to be as expensive as some make it out to be.
You'll also be at 100K subscribers soon!
agree with your comment about prices for every level of consumer. chiangmai kad suankaeow food court had a 10 baht mini coffee in a bottle.... of course the ambiance and view weren't QUITE as spectacular as this place.
I've been there. It's very nice and has great views, but because of the layout, it really doesn't seem that big. The line was relaxed and didn't really take that long. Starbucks has some of the best quality coffee in the world. I think they've slipped a bit with their menu offerings, but overall they're the best coffee shops and 'hang out' places in Bangkok.
Yes, you are right
@Nebula37 Starbucks is serving decent coffee, but not the best in the world. I agree with you that it’s a good ‘hang out’ place to meet friends or sit down for a couple of hours without feeling embarrassed that you only ordered 1 drink.
Epic views on the terrace...would totally enjoy a tasty Starbucks beverage while watching the world go by on the river at sunset. Stayed right next door @ the Millenium Hilton a few years ago when they were building Icon Siam
Morning Tea And This Channel= A Good Morning

all Cafe
Hi Christ, First of all let me introduce myself my name is Anucha . l have been living in the States for the past thirty some years. On behalf of Thai people l would like to thank you for give English speaking people clear understanding about my beloved country.
Dude I completely agree with you l will never ever wait for half an hour for a cup of coffee no matter what brand it is.
Buddha be with you be kind to living things
bakery is not cheap in Thailand.
Nice that you coffee provider ships it so quickly!
Now that everything is closed here in Europe, I’d pay anything to seat there and enjoy a coffee with that view
You can come to Bangkok! You just have to do 16 days of strict hotel quarantine at your own expense. I'm currently in Day 4 and I can see IconSiam from my hotel room (which I haven't left in 106 hours). Look up "Thailand COE" and you'll find all the details.
@@biztosdotcom yeah I know all about it, but sorry for this year I think I’ll pass...it seems very hard and unfair to spend 15 days in total isolation at my own expenses. A negative Covid test should be enough, anyway good luck with that!
@@pierluigisonsini9388 except the test itself is now an anal swab at the airport laced with micro machines and a 90 percent false positive
Starbucks charge 160 Baths for a cup of coffee, I can buy locally brew organic coffee for just 30 Baths and honestly, I think the 30 Baths tastes better.
Hi Chris! I’m glad I found your channel. You are a delight and your videos are so much fun to watch. You’ve made me very interested in visiting Thailand now. What a beautiful place!
I missed Thailand so much I want to move back home
I like the little kiosks often set up outside Macros. I enjoying supporting the independents whenever possible. Starbucks is also a favorite, and have enjoyed them all over Bangkok.
Damm at the end Haha. I use to have starbucks almost everyday when live in Dubai but when I am back to Thailand feel this brand very expensive street coffee shop fresh some is good taste and friendly packet
This Starbucks has a fantastic view, all the women are thin, cute, polite & well dressed. Unlike in a western country. This store is gorgeous.
wow i love ur videos and dynamic
thanks so much for this comment
Aussie starbucks prices in Thailand .... I don't personally drink coffee but enjoyed the video Chris. Nice views also :)
so beautiful and huge
Wow it’s a beautiful looking Starbucks. Where possible always support local!! Great video 😍
Worth visiting once just to see, but the local coffee shops run by Thais will definitely have my Baht!
สนุกมาก
Thai's love the Bling Factor.
Agreed! How they spend money on that tasteless coffee! They are madness about social media and showing off. Btw I'm Thai!
I love starbucks and I think the world’s largest Starbucks opened in Chicago- will but this is very interesting adventure- watching all the way from HongKong! New friend here
Thanks for watching!
แลนด์มาร์คร้านกาแฟใหญ่มาก! ต้องไปลิ้มลองให้ได้คับ ขอบคุณคลิปสวยๆคับ
Wonderful. Thanks !
Glad you liked it!
Unlike everyone else commenting here, I actually think Starbucks coffee is decent. I do find it puzzling that they seem to have higher prices in Thailand than they do in the USA though. In any event, the Starbucks in this video looks pretty cool. I'll definitely check it out if I can ever get back to Thailand.
