BANGKOK First Impressions! 🇹🇭 First Time in Thailand - Bangkok Isn't What We Expected

Hello Bangkok!! 👋 This is our first impression of Thailand as we start our travels in Bangkok. We are so excited to be here and to have the opportunity for the next few months to explore this amazing country. Being our first time here, we were honestly surprised by Bangkok! We had been warned by many of the chaos to expect when arriving here. But, we were surprised that not only were we not overwhelmed but instead fell in love with this amazing city. With so much to see and do, so much wonderful food to enjoy, and the people being so kind and welcoming - Bangkok is a must for everyone to visit.

I got home to the UK two days ago and I'm still gutted I love Thailand my favourite country by far

[@DT-gs3wi]

The best country in southeast Asia ❤️

[@user-ej7qd7vx8o]

🙏🇹🇭🙏⚘️

[@dcorman2350]

Our first trip in Asia… 20 years ago ! We love Bangkok. We ate on the side streets with family for the whole trip, sitting down with them on small plastic chairs. Awesome food and experience. My wife and I couldn’t stop buying fresh fruits, freshly cut in a plastic bag and came with a stick … Breakfast? My job was to take a walk around our appartement, coming back with fried rice, eggs, sugar coated toasts in the bbq, veggies… Oh we now want to go back! Almost forgot.. biggest regret, discovering the mango sticky rice way too late !

[@BrianandCarrie]

We have bags of fruit in our refrigerator now, and yes, we have discovered the mango sticky rice!! Thank you for watching, we will have a street food video out soon! Cheers!!🍻

[@imonmywaybyoreo]

Thank you & Welcome to Thailand I hope you enjoy with our food, culture, traditional, people. if u got inconvenient in as host we apologize for that Welcome back all time ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@DT-gs3wi]

Eating thai streets foods are way better then eating fast foods in USA.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Without question! Thai street food is better than a lot of restaurants in the US! 😄

[@DT-gs3wi]

@@BrianandCarrie thank you sir!!! Welcome to Thailand 🇹🇭 if you go to chiang mai there are so many veggies foods there. When you guys get there I will give the restaurants names.

[@miker7233]

I’m an American expat living in Bangkok for almost three years. Excellent video. With very good and clear descriptions. From my experiences if you are a foreigner. You won’t look out of place not wearing a mask. Anywhere. Including the BTS and MRT. Because the majority of foreigners do not wear masks anywhere here in Bangkok. Which I recommend wearing at least on public transportation because it can get very crowded. The majority of Thais do wear masks on public transportation Ari district is very nice. It’s more of a type of upscale area here in Bangkok.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Hi, Mike! Thank you for the kind words. Mask wearing for whatever reason has become a hot topic, and we choose to when on public transportation. Especially as a tourist out of respect for others that also choose to. However, if you choose not to, that's ok as well. We loved the Ari district and plan on staying there again next time in Bangkok!! Thank you again for the comments and for supporting our channel! Cheers!!🍻

[@BrianandCarrie]

We are so excited to be in Thailand and look forward to the next month of exploring. If you have any suggestions of other areas of Thailand we should visit, please let us know in the comments below. Thanks so much for watching!!

We are really excited to be here!! We think we may be acclimated to warm weather because it hasn't been too bad. We have arrived in Chaing Mai, and it is only about 80 and not humid at all. Bangkok, however, was about 75% humidity. Thank you for watching!❤ Cheers!!🍻

I hopped on my Peloton and your video was so amazing, I'd gone 6 miles by the time it ended! And if I can say, you both seem so relaxed, I hope the Thai culture suits you both. And Carrie has a Tatt!!! Who knew. Very nice! As always, we wish you both were "our" personal tour guides, well, you are, sort of. Such fun! Please spill the beans and tell us if apartments in Bangkok are as cheap as everyone says!!!

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you - we're so happy you enjoyed it! We do know it shows in our videos if we are really excited and love a place we filmed in. I'm so happy that it comes through in this video as we are LOVING it here so far. We found the pricing in Bangkok a bit more than where we are in Chiang Mai, but we expected that coming in as it was the "big city". We will be doing our Thailand costs breakdown after stays in a few places, so that will be interesting in the end to see how it adds up in the end. Thanks again for watching :)

Great video! Best advice I ever got from a well traveled friend - if you’re looking for a fun spot to hang out just find the Irish pub!

[@BrianandCarrie]

That is great advice!! We may use that quote the next time we see an Irish pub!! 😀 Cheers!!🍻

[@pongpetmekloy3965]

Welcome to Thailand! Thank you so much for mentioning about mask wearing on public transportation. Too many tourists are not wearing them on the trains and it makes we locals feel they don't care about our well-being. Enjoy your stay in the Land of Smiles!

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you, we are so excited to be here and explore your beautiful country. We have very much appreciated how welcoming and kind everyone has been. 😊

[@geoffreyhills4978]

Hi Khun Pongpet. Your comment regarding masks on the BTS is a little off - and so is Brian’s comment during the video. As at the date of this video (January 14, 2023) masks are NOT required on the BTS. This has been looked into exhaustively by the expat community and the English announcement on the BTS is an accurate translation - masks are RECOMMENDED on the BTS in accordance with GUIDANCE. (BTS is a private company and is free to adopt a mask requirement as part of its terms & conditions; however, it has chosen not to do so - probably because it would be inconsistent with government laws at the moment - which were changed in July 2022 - to not require masks anywhere, including on public transport and in shopping malls). The foreigners not wearing masks on the BTS are generally NOT tourists, they are expats. Tourists aren’t aware of the legal situation in Thailand and so generally wear masks out of ignorance or as some kind of virtue signalling. The foreigners not wearing masks on the BTS are generally expats, who are better informed about the legal position. There is another question, of course, aside from the legal rules as to whether foreigners should wear masks out of social conformity or concern for the views of Thai people. I will make four comments about that: (1) By 2023, most Thai people wearing masks are not doing so because they are concerned about Covid but out of social conformity and as a matter of social pressure / not rocking the boat. (2) Foreigners are not members of Thai society and accordingly, it is not surprising that they do not feel subject to social pressure that applies only to Thais. (3) You will notice that, over the past few months, increasing numbers of younger Thais are not wearing masks on the BTS or indeed elsewhere - particularly in the evenings and particularly in nightlife areas. This is particularly so amongst more affluent young Thais who have had the opportunity to travel outside Thailand in recent years and realised that the rest of the world is not wearing masks. Those Thais clinging to masks by now are generally the less well-educated and less well-off who have not been outside Thailand since 2020 (or indeed, ever). (4) I have had Thai people say to me “please DON’T wear a mask; you need to set an example and we need to wean Thai people off their fear and mask addiction because otherwise, when will it ever end?” Sorry to inject a note of realism. Brian and Carrie, I hope you enjoy your time in the country.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you for posting this, Geoffrey. If you go back and watch the video, you will see that I said highly "recommended" which is a quote from the announcement on the train. Up here in Chaing Mai, there are fewer masks being used by locals and tourists than in Bangkok. We also understand that masks are not just used to prevent illness. Again, thank you for posting your opinions!! Cheers!!🍻

[@Darknessawaitsuandu]

​@@geoffreyhills4978thanks so much for clearing that up I've been planning my own trip and I'm from the US where that mask thing has finally fully died off and I was not looking forward to having to go back into that unwanted lifestyle again lol so glad it's not required in Thailand and now I cannot wait to visit

[@BrianandCarrie]

We were hesitant for so long, but now so happy we took the leap. So far we are loving it and excited for the many months ahead to explore. Keeping trim while on the road isn't easy, that's for sure. No matter where we are I love a workout routine and try to improvise where needed. For instance our place in Croatia was in a building with 18th flights of stairs. That was my workout each morning, doing 3 sets. Thankfully here in Chiang Mai we have a gym in our building, so we plan to use that daily to work off the amazing food were eating every day 😊

Great to see you in Thailand. A bucket list place for me to be sure. I am anxious to see where you go. I had always thought of Thailand as a more beach destination. The City scenes are changing that view! Couldn't convince Carrie (even with the dare!) to eat bugs on sticks! Funny! The markets look overwhelming. Food selection I wouldn't know where to start! Brian needs that haircut! Whoa, he's a hippy! Glad to see that got addressed! Always fun with a language barrier! How did you choose the restaurant? Did you have a guidebook, or a google search of places nearby? How long are you in Bangkok? Seeing plenty of Carrie's ink that I have not noticed before. As always informative and interesting. A good overview of the places you have explored in Bangkok. Safe travels and enjoy.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Hi, Robert. We were in Bangkok for 8 days before we moved to Chaing Mai, another non-beach town. The district we are staying in has great street food and restaurants to choose from. We usually google the place that looks interesting and read the reviews. We will be hitting the beaches of Thailand, but we will spend a month in Vietnam first. And yes, I was desperate for a haircut!!! Thank you for supporting us!! Cheers!!!🍻

Welcome to Thailand... I'd like to recommend you to go to visit Thailand's highest tower : King Power Mahanakhon at 78th floor to see panoramic view skywalk with one of the fastest elevators in the world and walking around downtown Ratchaprasong to shopping with 9 famous shopping malls. If you have time the night scene is a must Find the experience with your dinner at Alangka Cruise Dinner Buffet on the Chao Praya river. Enjoy and have fun.

Thank you so much for the recommendations ❤️

We were there in November 2019. We spent a lot more money, we did a 19 day small group (13) of Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. We try to travel about 6 months of each year.

Nice video. Love how many KZbinrs use the title, "we didn't expect this". I sort of can relate cause first time in Thailand almost 17yrs ago my only reference was Kickboxer 😂 After traveling there for many years I'm humbled at how much more organized and superior life is compared to north america 😊

[@BrianandCarrie]

We had an idea that Bangkok would be incredibly chaotic. While it was busy it is very organized and easy to navigate. We plan on returning next spring for another short stay. Thank you for watching!! Cheers!!🍻

@@BrianandCarrie make your way south to Trang, Songkhla and Hat Yai, food paradise, you won't regret it!

[@debbieg8951]

Loved this video, and I'm looking forward to the Chang Mai episode. I'd really like to see you eating insects at some point, though. ;)

[@BrianandCarrie]

We will do a food tour video and see what bugs we can find that we are willing to try. 😜 Cheers!!🍻

Rock Paper Scissors, winner gets to choose a bug for the loser to eat 😂

Thank you for getting back to me about which area you stayed in. You said it was in the video but i must of missed it. I heard you say RA but you confirmed Ari. This has helped me in which area i will stay when I visit next months. Look out for 10 bucks to buy some street food..

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you so much ❤️. You will love that area, it's still close to everything but a much more calm area with plenty of cafes and restaurants, and of course street food.

Bangkok wasn't on my must see list, but now it is. It looks like a lot of visual feast and affordable touring.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Bangkok has so many things to see and do. You could spend a month there and find something new every day.

[@ZhetJourney]

Welcome to Thailand. :)

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you - we are so happy to be here 😊

[@jamesparnell1131]

Thank you very much guys ! I watched your video about the medical check up : love it. Are you planning on staying to Thailand for long term? Did you use to be in Portugal? Anyway, let us know if Thailand is a better place to live or retire. Once again thank you very much!

[@BrianandCarrie]

We are here for 45 days and will return next month for another 30 days, we really enjoy Thailand. We spent a couple of months last year in Portugal and loved it as well. Thank you for watching our channel!
