We're flying to Bangkok, Thailand from the US. This was a long journey but man, once we got there, Bangkok was everything we expected and more!
Often we hear people say, "Spend a few days in Bangkok and leave", however, we just don't get that impression. Bangkok was absolutely incredible and we hardly made a dent in everything there is to do here. The best part is, that despite Bangkok being a massive, sprawling city, we never felt overwhelmed.
In this Bangkok, Thailand vlog we're only scratching the surface of things to do in Bangkok. This will be our first impression of this vast city. We're checking off our first trips to Khao San Road and Chinatown, but we'll follow that up with a full-on detour through Bangkok in the coming video. Bangkok street food, temples in Bangkok, Corgi Cafes, Tuk Tuks and monitor lizards...There's so much more to come!
If you've read this far, you're a real one!
Leave a comment saying "Crispy Pork"
First things first, I still think Lhong Tou was in fact one of the best places we ate in Bangkok. Here's the location: 538 Yaowarat Rd, Khwaeng Samphanthawong, Samphanthawong, Bangkok 10100
Next, the Timeshifter app is TOTALLY worth it!
I, Tony, had zero jet lag. I was ready to hit the city running the next day. Sara had a little grogginess waking up, but she shook that off quickly after breakfast and was good to go. The app was really easy to use and we only used the free version. You don't even have to follow the sleep schedule strictly (I'd advise not drinking alcohol and following the schedule for caffeine though) Here's their website: www.timeshifter.com/

Welcome to Thailand, come to Chiang Mai too.
I like your Thai subtitles , it's perfect.
@@Koson_K thank you
@@roykeen2025 we're here now!
Welcome 🤗
WELCOME TO THE KINGDOM OF SMILES!!🙏🙏🇹🇭🇹🇭
I am Thai and I adore this song 500 miles so much!❤
Ps. Kudos to your camera work, editing skills and your charming personalities!❤❤
That song just felt so fitting. Thank you for all recognition. Took a lot of practice to get better at all those things
@@TheDetourDuoYes, you have to try it, bro, the highest fastest train in Southeast Asia... the speed is 350 K kilometers, the newest fast train in Southeast Asia, the first in Indonesia, Jakarta - Bandung, lots of tourist attractions in the city of Bandung which is beautiful and comfortable and cool and cool and beautiful...
@@ocshaljufrian6109From the thumbnail they might explore TH VN LAO first. May be they will fly across the sea later.
"i am thai" 🤓🤓☝☝
So like many people I just found you because of fair drop and being a longtime subscriber to Kara and Nate. how the heck were you able to use that song in your video without a copyright issue? You guys are really good at what you do and I just subscribed and look forward to watching all of your old videos and your new adventures on fair drop.
Have fun traveling I like Thailand very much I came to visit 2 years ago The food is delicious People are very fun and happy all the time. I lost my bags. Thai people bring it back to me without losing anything I have come in and out of Thailand 15 times. I am very happy throughout the vacation. ฉันIt is recommended that you visit the province with few foreigners because you will get true Thainess, local food, tourist attractions in that place. Thailand has natural attractions in all provinces. And most importantly, the price is very cheap. He will take care of you warm and be ready to help with everything. While we can communicate, do not understand each other, but he is always ready to help you.🎉😂 I miss Thailand, I am very obsessed with videos about Thailand so that at the end of this year I can travel in new places.❤
ยินดีต้อนรับ..ครับ❤❤❤ ผมอยู่เชียงใหม่😊😊😊
Going to try and translate this so sorry if it's off but...ตอนนี้อยู่เชียงใหม่เหมือนกัน!
We love it so far. It's everything you've said. We're going to do the Mae Hong Son loop and try and stay with locals and villagers along the way if they will have us.
เชียงใหม่..เดือนนี้จะมีงานยี่เป็ง..ลอยกระทง..สวยงามมาก
Thanks for loving my Country.🙏🙏🙏
Traveling or living here is quite easy and safe. Just be careful not to put yourself in risky places or situations. I hope you are happy in Thailand.
P.S. If you encounter any problems, try asking local people for help. Most Thai people are always happy to help you.
Totally agree. It's the same in the US. Traveling anywhere is fun, but you still have to be smart. We've already experienced that helpful friendliness first-hand.

@@TheDetourDuowe don't have any risky place in Thailand, you can walk everywhere any time 2-3 am with safety. Every Thai people talking care of you. And we never left any foreigners in trouble without taking care as possible.
And this is reason for people all over the world call us "the land of smile."
(And yes, we not smiling to everyone we never know, we are not insane.)
😁😁😁
เราเป็นคนไทย ยินดีต้อนรับครับ ขอให้มีความสุขที่ประเทศไทย❤❤❤
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for showing us Lhong You, it has been on our map for a couple years. Can't wait to go
Ok, that timeshifter app is AWESOME. Downloading it now. Also, I FELT that when Sara was choking on the spicy food lol my tolerance isn’t great either
It was clutch. I had my doubts. It does make things difficult because it tells you when to sleep and I usually knock out instantly while the plane is still on the runway lol. She's getting there! She ordered her first dish today without asking for just a little bit of spicy 🥳
The problem is I`m already waiting for the next episode
Lmao sorry I'm going as fast as I can 😂😅

@@ocshaljufrian6109 but tickets is quite expensive, 850 baht for 142 km.
HRS in Thailand will be finish in next three years, and tickets prices is 520 baht for 320 km

Welcome to Thailand kub. Wish you guys happy and healthy.
Thank you for the warm welcome and well wishes!
Just wanted to leave a comment to thank you on behalf of my mum who has been watching your Key West videos non stop and she loves them! My mum and Dad are going there soon and your videos have taught them a lot and ensured that they will have a really special time there, can’t thank you enough!
Wow really?!? That is awesome! I hope they absolutely love it!
Welcome to Thailand,. Hope you're enjoy every moment here.
Thanks! We are actually! 😃
Great video, guys! We had almost the same flight as you. We flew from Anchorage to Seattle to Seoul and finally to Bangkok. It was ROUGH but so worth it! Just subscribed. Have fun in Thailand! 🥰
Thanks guys! That's crazy. Thought our travel day was long. That sounds rough. Maybe we'll cross paths in SE Asia at some point!
A BIG WELCOME to Thailand. Enjoy your stay.
Thank you! 🙏🏿
So excited for you guys and looking forward to all your Asia videos! 🤗 I love all your Florida videos, and I’ve been wanting to do a tour of Asia so this is going to be so awesome to watch! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for supporting us on this journey. We were worried a lot of our Florida audience would leave but it sounds like we just found a community that simply loves travel.
ประเทศไทยยินดีต้อนรับครับ ขอให้เที่ยวสนุกนะครับ
Ka Khun Krap! 🙏🏿
What a journey! Thanks for visiting our country.
Thanks for watching!
My wife is Portland Oregon flying back to New York today
Yay! We need to make our way to New York again
Excited for y'all's adventure! I think I first subscribed when I found your Chattanooga video (that's where we're from), but we're also headed to Thailand soon, so can't wait to see what you think. -Steph
Thanks y'all! So far Thailand has been amazing honestly! Do you have your trip planned out yet?
Cheers to overseas travel and 10k subs 🎉 Tony, the editing is next level.
Cheers! Always appreciate the editing love 💯
Welcome to Thailand guys, have fun ❤
Thank you. We're already are having so much fun
Hi! Welcome to Thailand. Can't wait for next Vdo! Keep doing guy. ❤❤❤
Hi! Thank you. It's coming soon
Wow! Wow! Wow! Love the adventure. And great tips for jetlag. Did that plane pillow you used work?
Yes! Sara loves that pillow. It’s inflatable so it folds up fairly nicely too.
Nice ...and Thank you to visit our country
Thrank you for having us
Welcome to Thailand wish your so happy and fun all time in Thailand 🎉
Thank you. So far it has been all time fun and quite the experience
Even I m a Bangkokian, your VDO is so awesome!!!! Welcome to the city of super diverse. Enjoy.
That's awesome! We had no idea just how huge Bangkok was. Thank you!
Welcome to Thailand 🇹🇭 🙏🤗
and we will join together to celebrate Loy Krathong Festival on November 27, 2023.
(ลอยกระทง 27 พฤศจิกายน 2566)
I hope this will be good experience for you in Thailand. Thanh you for coming.
Thank you! 🙏🏾
ยินดีต้อนรับสู่ประเทศไทยนะครับ ดินแดนแห่งรอยยิ้ม สถานที่สวยงามและอาหารอร่อยเลิศรส
🙏
Wishing you a wonderful trip to Thailand.
Thank you! 😃
at 5:21 you were in front of gate D6 which is the gate I departed from on my last trip to Thailand. I'll be back this summer and can't wait!
That's so crazy. Small world. Surprised you remember that. I can't remember the gate we departed from last week 😅 Thailand is amazing. We've even had discussions about moving here
@@TheDetourDuo wow that would be so cool. I'm Thai-American and have lived in NYC my whole life. Most of my family and wife's family live in Thailand and I'm looking forward to retiring in there one day...well I have another 15-16 years to work and hopefully can make that big move when the time comes.
@@05Evolution8 those NYC prices compared to Thailand prices have to be an even bigger eyeopener for you
@@TheDetourDuo oh yes 100%
Our little channel, Navigate with Colleen and Nate, are watching with excitement! I hope someday to be able to travel to Asia! So happy for you both and can’t wait to watch all your new adventures!
You will! Just got the will it into existence. We knew from the beginning this is where we wanted to be so we just had to buckle down and make it happen eventually.

Sara - can you link both your backpacks and purse? They look perfect for traveling and I need new ones! 😜 Great video!
My black backpack is the Osprey Fairview 40L. I LOVE it!! It has been so durable and is pretty comfortable to carry: www.osprey.com/fairview-40-travel-pack-fairvew40f22-550
My purple bag and black cross body are both from Amazon!

Wow, did you guys shoot that opening timelapse or is it a stock video? That's one heck of a start to the video, lol
The clip actually stock that I spiced up a bit. It is the same vision I had in mind but didn't get my drone approved for flying in time before we left Bangkok.
Hello! You guys popped up in my feed. Love watching people explore Thailand for the first time. The people, culture and beauty are what makes Thailand Thailand in my opinion. Couple of tips you probably have already found out on your own. Thailand is super safe. Useful apps Grab and Bolt for transport. Agoda for lodging. Google translate for the rare occasion you can’t communicate or decipher an all Thai menu. Love the content and good vibes. Subscribed Dave in Florida
Thanks for the super tips Dave! We know about grab and bolt (used grab quite a few times already) didn't know about Agoda though. Haven't really needed translate yet minus having fun translating signs, but I bet it will be handy the further north we go. Totally agree with you as well. Just from our short time here the people and the culture are already so wonderful

oh interesting! Ok we will try it.

Welcome to Thailand Have a fun trip.
Thank you!
Love how you do the content and video editing style❤
Thank you so much!! Glad you like it.
Just had your channel pop up in our feed- and have been binging a few of your old videos as well. Good stuff! 👌
Bangkok is amazing. Easily one of our favorite food cities in the world! For that reason, we'd never suggest opting for breakfast included in a hotel. There are so many amazing gems for $1/2 per meal, that you're doing yourself a disservice by eating hotel breakfast! 😂
Excited to see what else you guys get up to on SE Asia. One of our favorite regions in the world, for sure. 🍻
Thanks so much! Totally understand where you’re coming from, but our preference is to have breakfast included 😊 We’re traveling nonstop for 8+ months so it is really nice to have the option in the mornings if we don’t want to make a decision right away. Or if one person wakes up before the other. We do also go out to breakfast some days too! But we really like having the convenience of it being included in our nightly rate since we're trying to stay under a budget
Welcome to Thailand 🇹🇭 enjoy your stay!!!!! ❤

Yall are just like my wife and I, or I guess we're like yall and we're moving to Bangkok and I'm pursuing youtube for travel content hahaha.
Anyway, Grade A content I love the pacing and story, you guys are killing it we think alike you'll be great one day.
Thanks! Wish you both the best of luck. Maybe we'll cross paths one day on the road to travel
Find some river view restaurant at night, not far from kaosan road.
Maybe taling bar or 342bar, can be around 20-30$ and good time. Hope u enjoy.
Thanks for the recs!

LOL Fain loves to stop for every person trying to sell us something. I’ve had to train him to say “no thanks!” and keep walking 😅
That's so Tony. He looks to me like a sad puppy to come save him because he knows when he's going to get suckered in. He will listen to someone's entire spill before he can say no. Lol
