Man, 8 years ago I watched this video and subscribed to your channel. Time flies and now I live in Thailand myself... ;-)
Nice

You look like the wall streets bet logo 😂
Nice
Same here I subscribed 9 years ago and have been living for the last 6.5 years.
I love Thailand. Lived there for two years as a boy from 1969-1971, in Bangkok. 30 years later I married a Thai woman and have been back four times since 2003. Been to most places in the video. Very enjoyable. My only recommendation for people that don't like cities, noise, etc is to stay in Bangkok for a few days, spend a few days out of the city if possible, and then come back to Bangkok. It can be overwhelming.
The place is exotic, beautiful and there is ample KFC, McD's, Sizzler, Pizza Hut if anyone just has to have a fix of western food after a few days or a week. I was that way when I first went back. I could eat Thai food lunch and dinner every day but required an American breakfast. Now I love to eat Thai food for weeks before I need some western food. Sticky rice with mango is a very popular Thai dessert I love. Sticky rice is a more glutenous rice. When cooked for this dish it is pretty sweet. The rice is warm. The mango, which is placed on the side is cold and some coconut sauce is placed on the rice. Delicious, or as they say in Thailand; "aroy mach mach."
Another very fun, and very inexpensive, thing to do is to simply ride the Chao Phraya River Express Boat. They have multiple docks throughout the city; all with maps printed in English to instruct riders on what docks to disembark on to get to various places like the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Keow etc. Sometimes we find a street vendor selling a wonderful treat; sliced fresh pineapple in a bag with a mix of Thai spice, sugar and salt, and just ride the express boat for a while. It's not a tourist trip. There is no narration. It's a transportation for natives to use to go to work and travelers to use to get from place to place.
For anyone going to Thailand I would strongly suggest getting a book, video or online application that will help them learn a few basic phrases before embarking on the trip. Not only will this help with getting rides from a cabbie or a tuk tuk driver but it pleases the Thai people to no end that people take the time to try to speak their language.
The very best thing about Thailand is the wonderful Thai people. Thai food is delicious. The whole country is beautiful and exotic, however, the very best thing about Thailand is the wonderful, kind, warm and happy people that live there.
putrakenchana I'm thai people and I was not like your opinion.!!!!! Every country on this planet No other place is the best Inc.your country also.!! If someone insults your country, I would think that you would feel the same like me now.!! Stop insulting other countries.!! Thanks !
putrakenchana uses condom idiot
Condom still not save....
I guess someone has a experience on fucked someone who had HIV and caught it even used condom! LMFAO thanks for sharing ur experience LOL
I feel bad that all this conversation has been about prostitution/HIV. Thailand is a wonderful country with many more good people than bad. The prostitution in Pattaya, Nana district, etc gives a bad name to the whole country.
wow..such a beautiful city..it has everything.. mountain , river, fruits, market, malls, and I love how their people calm and always smile.. Bangkok is a beautiful city!
😊❤❤
Hi Mark,
My wife and I just finished a 3 day trip to Bangkok, and this video has made our planning so much easier. Thank you very much for your inspirations - I look forward to your videos not just only for experience, but also as a way to improve my life. Your smile, your love for your lovely family and the pure joy you bring in while creating those amazing videos make me really feel good about life in general. I wish there are more people like you in this world. I wish I could meet you in person in Bangkok, but probably next time. Thank you again.

Well done, Mark. Love your enthusiasm and your knowledge, and the expression on your face after eating your favourite Thai foods is priceless.
Keep up the good work.
I like the way you first had a bite of Thai food, it's really made me think that I'm having that food myself. You've done it perfectly, nobody could ever do it like the way you do!
WOW Mark, that face you made when you ate the durian was priceless! You and I both share our love and passion for durian. Also, you are a great writer.
I LIVED IN BKK FOR 7 YEARS DURING MY CHILDHOOD AND THIS VIDEO IS 100% ACCURATE

I loved this video , so so helpful . Especially the food , I tried Thai food many times and I am more than 100% in love with Thai food more than I am with my hus Lol !! Keep it up !! Bangkok is the best 👌🏻👌🏻

Not true
Bali better than bangkok
inilah kisahku no bali has spider
Wat Arun is amazing. The intricacy of the statues and buildings is mind-blowing.
Last year I took my parents to visit Thailand, totally agree their foods were so amazing.
Mark that was a really useful video. I plan to visit Bangkok next month and I'm sure your tips and suggestions will come in handy.
Kamel Haque Great to hear that Kamel, hope you have a wonderful trip.
This dude must be the happiest person on Earth. That face he makes every time he eats.. LOL.
Lmao
A good way to promote Bangkok.
Fawk
Your comment kills me😂😂. This is hilarious
True. It actually bothers me a lot. I wanted to watch him bec his content is good but everytime i see him eat, it kinda turns me off a little. He looks like a nice guy though
Love your enthusiasms about the culture and your respect for food! Enjoyed your style of presentation, and your personality.
I’ve been to Thailand multiple times, and it is the best place I’ve ever been. I plan to move to Bangkok in about 5 years when I finish uni!
Wow! Thai Durian! The best in the world! I miss this so much!
I love Thailand, proud to be Thai, thanks 4 video love Thailand.
So far the most informative video on Bangkok I've found. Thanks Mark! Your travel and food videos are a treat.
I’ve been a fan of your videos for years now and this 7 year old video that I just discovered is making planning my trip to Thailand easy peazy
I was in Bangkok in the early '60's and visited many of the sites you've shown. I ate at many street vendor stalls, bought many things for my family in Texas, and made many friends(such a long time ago.) I was amazed at the boats with the immensely long drive-shafts on the river, the beautiful sculptures, and the beautiful people. Thanks for the tour into memories! ... Clark
God I’d say the place is unrecognisable to the place you were in the 60s. I did not like Bangkok one bit
I am proud of the people of Thailand. Land Of Smile .. Your Welcome My Friend in The World ..Sawasdeekub... Long Live The King ..
I want to go Bangkok I need package form Hyderabad

Peru is a big cultural country and the food that you can find outside Lima is amazing. Thanks for show us your travels!
Bangkok is the best city to travel in Asia, it has everything.
WE are going in the month,I hope rain season will not spoil our 14 days trip
Thang Nguyen it is raining almost evrey day
Thang Nguyen p
Bali is the best for traveling
Bangkok is the # 1 travel destination in the world Not Asia.
Even though BKK is as crowded as some indian cities, i find it much cleaner and well organized.
u summed it up well....organised chaos maybe!! ...bkk infruasture is world class, whereas thers none in india!
***** lol this conversation got wierd xD
Most toilets in Thai supermarkets are free and clean.
I LOVE THAILAND, SUCH AMAZING FOOD! Thanks for this mark! x
That was very informative, thank you .) love from İstanbul
I'm finally moving to Bangkok! I always wanted to live there, and now I will do it! Watching this makes me so excited! Time to explore Bangkok deeper!
How did you do?🤩
I'm so excited to go to bangkok this April of 2017 for the very first time. Thanks for this video, i'm definitely gonna check out a lot of what you featured in here. And also feature it in my new vlog. Thanks for being an inspiration to a newbie like me
I really like this video of 25 things to do in Bangkok, do you think you'll make an update of Bangkok after all this is the base of your blog.
Looking forward to watching it soon.
One of the best guide about Bangkok. Thanks Mark for sharing.
Watching this video and recognising many of the places on this list makes me want to go back immediately
the food is amazing!
Going to Bangkok this week. Never been before and can't wait.
Relax, Enjoy and Have fun in Thailand! :D
One of the all time great videos on Bangkok city.
wow this vid is 10 years old and still providing massive value... thank you!
Hi Mark and thank you for presenting such a wonderful and comprehensive video. I recently completed a two week trip to Thailand, and I mist say, it was one of the most culturally enjoyable vacations I've ever had. I watched your videos before I went on my trip, and they were extremely helpful in planning to see the attractions that I wanted to visit. I also spent three days in the old capital city of Ayutthaya, While there, my friend and I rented a motor scooter and toured the ruins of many ancient Buddhist temples. As an amateur historian, I was in my glory. In closing, I want to thank you for your helpful traveling tips and suggestions. Without them, my vacation to Thailand would not have been the resounding success that it was. I definitely plan to return in the near future.
Hey guys, in case you were wondering how to get around Bangkok, here's what I know:
Of course you have the Skytrain, the Metro, the taxi's/Übers and the boats, but the best way to get around Bangkok is by local buses. You get to talk to locals as you zoom around in a bus from World War 2 (some are old Hino's), and you see the city from a different angle, amidst the local people. It is truly fascinating.
There are different types of buses - some with air condition, some without, and some modern, and some ancient. Equal to all of them - the cheap price.
The ancient ones w/o air condition, are the cheapest. During a regular week, chances are you'll ride free about 50% of the time. If not, you'd have to pay a mere 6.50/7 baht one way. This ticket is practically unlimited, until you hop off.
A few buses I know, and that I take often, are:
- No. 2 - it is a red, very old Hino, without airc ondition. This one stops at Sukhumvit, Khao San Road (just next to it, on Ratchadamnoen Klang Road - a huge highway, you won't miss it. It leads to the Democracy Monument), Si Lom, Pratu Nam etc. You'd be much better off in a bus, paying only 6.5/7 baht, no matter how long your trip is, or how much traffic there is.
- No. 152 is the same as above, only with air condition, and you'd have to pay 15 baht instead of 6.5/7. This one is blue, and with air condition. It is a little newer than the red ones.
- Bus no. 47 goes to MBK (from Khao San Road) - red, old Hino.
- If you feel the need to go to the Burmese embassy, take no. 15 (also a red Hino, w/o air condition).
Some buses will say their route on small signs on the side near the doors (in English), and some will only be written in Thai. If there is a white sign, with red on it, in the front window, it usually means that the route is different than usual, and that the driver uses the highways.
If you need any specific routing, check out www.transitbangkok.com/
- As always, great video Mark! I've tried some of it. I can also strongly recommend for anyone having more than a few days in Bangkok, to visit the Amphawa Floating Market. This is not touristy - very few go there. It is mostly Thai tourists, and it is a very pleasant experience. Make sure to go on a boat trip around the area, and see the fireflies at sunset. It is pretty cheap, expect around 400 baht, for a whole day, starting from your hotel in the morning, and returning around 8-9pm. Use Riis Travel & Tours on Khao San Road for your bustickets, tours, etc. - she is a friend of mine, and speaks very good english + very good prices! :)
If any of you guys need any assistance, feel free to contact me.
You're welcome :)
Califoast but now uber is illegal in thailand
THIS CHANNEL IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD. LOVE IT!!!

I’ve been to Bangkok a few times and visited all of these places and its actually one of my favorite cities in the world
Mine too. You have good taste.
Oh really...in Thailand dirty food
I love Bangkok! I went there last January. Extended my stay because a volcano erupted in Manila. Stayed in crazy khao san road. Ate pad thai everyday! One of my favorite trips ever!
I am glad to know that I got to enjoy almost all of these when I was in Bangkok, three times. I hope to visit Bangkok again soon :)
I'll be going to Thailand soon and I'll definitely be looking up some of these things to check out! Great recommendations
Stanley Chung welcome to BKK.
So... how was it?

Great video. Bangkok, Samui, and Phuket are my FAVORITE CITIES ON EARTH.
Britt McLeod same! ♥️♥️

Ananta samakholm throne hall. So gorgeous and beautiful inside, and also the night dinner river cruise should not be missed!
I am visiting Bangkok in one month for the first time! Love your videos!
i really can't wait to see the goodness of Bangkok Thailand.... Sawadee krub! khop khun! 🇹🇭🙏🇹🇭🌶️👍♥️🇵🇭
The best place to visit. i miss my hometown Bangkok :)
Amazing city…. Visited it in 2004, 2017,18,19,22…. And it has developed so much since 2004…. Impressive level of development
Thanks for your travel tips, i visited many locations and i am addicted,
i'm even part of the family now.
I found Bangkok quite intimidating as a Westerner. Barely anyone spoke English (and I mean almost no one...) and my Thai was very basic. That being said, I hired a guide to take me on a walking tour through some of the food markets. Thailand has, without a doubt, the most delicious food in the world. Our guide taught us some basic Thai, and the locals really appreciate it when you make an effort to speak to them in their language.
I wish I knew your video earlier 😭😭😭 I just come back from Thailand and I love Thai food
I've been to many of these places, just my first two weeks here! Love the boat noodles!
thank you so much ! There are so many uninformative "watch me traveling" videos on youtube but yours really helped me to see what I can do in Bangkok
I didn't know Bangokok was that big and fulled of sites for tourism interest! I want to visit this city once in my life
ขอบคุณที่รักประเทศไทยครับ
After having watched your recent videos from Prague, I've become a fan! Because as a local I often see poorly researched travel vlogs from the city I've lived in for 13 years. But not yours! It was relevant and interesting and didn't fall for the usual touristy stuff.
I've visited Bangkok 6 times - and even though I have only knowledge fro a tourist's point of view, I found this video very relevant as well.
Thank you! This is the most informative and amazing video I've seen about Bangkok !
Great job! You are capturing the feel of Bangkok. I live here now in Bangkok and even after coming here for 25 years, I got a few new ideas of places to visit.
I like your screen name. "Fun" Bangkok. Fits the Thai spirit well.
I live in Bangkok and I still enjoy your video, thank you. มันดูเพลินมากเลยครับ เจ๋งอ้ะ! ^^
this video really helped me out with a research project I'm doing on vacationing in Bangkok. Thanks man
Thanks so much for all your knowledge of Thailand. My family and I are planning our first trip to Thailand in November this year 2022. I have found you on utube and have been binge watching everything about Thailand lol. We are all so excited, thanks 🙏 so much.
I like your video even though I used to travel to bangkok twice a year sometimes. still I need to know more how to explore amazing Thailand! thanks Mark

مستر pin
hell yeah I enjoyed this video!! I am going to thailand to do back pack traveling for two months next year and I am so hyped!!! Greetings from germany xx
I love your video. I'm very glad you show us where to go and the pricing
Love Bangkok
Mark eats tons of food, how he manages to stay so slim ??
This should be the indecipherable mystery of the Orient!
LOL
i agree ... if I ate both would have exploded
It's all about staying active and keeping your heart rate/metabolism up. You burn more calories than you take in. People get fat because they eat unhealthily and sit around all day doing nothing.
look at the meals he consumes.
very little carbohydrate; many vegetables, white meat, fish ...
I love Thai food!!
shiningcross What? It's all about your physical activity and diet. Sure, your genetics play a very small role, but you're not born fat. Being overweight is a conscious choice. If you dont exercise and you eat processed crap and fast food all the time with soda instead of water, you're going to get fat.
Very informative and useful tips - great pace and engaging travel leader! Keep up the good work.
Can‘t wait for my next trip to Thailand, only a few weeks to go now, yippie! Bangkok is amazing, I just love the Chatuchak Market and Sampeng! Doraemon forever❤️
