Bangkok: The Drowning City | Extreme Cities | Free Documentary

[@FreeDocumentary]

A study in 2020 warns that global warming will hit Bangkok, Thailand hard. The city is vulnerable to flooding due to its soft clay soil. By 2030, coastal areas and the main airport could be underwater. Locals are doing what they can to defend their coastline. Some have partnered with a university research project to replant mangroves, while others are installing concrete and bamboo barriers in the sea. Question is: will it be enough? Does anyone know of other cities similarly endangered?

Ahh ''climate change''...and who do I give my money to this time to ''fix it''?

[@MrBombastic_007]

The capital city of indonesia which is in jakarta is also sinking. Jakarta is the world's fastest sinking city in the world🤭

[@robicamedia1554]

Keep up the good documentaries. Please stop the fear about the climate thingy, as it's plain nonsense and a scam. And the people know that. Some not, but in time they will, just like me.

[@jankees4037]

@@MrBombastic_007 7.5 centimeters per year. Things were investigated with solving plans already like 10 years ago by the Dutch water experts. Sadly Indonesia has a corrupt government and money is everything to them. So they now move the capital. And let Jakarta rot for the future. No proper plans are done for Jakarta. Sad.

Im Caucasian, live in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and I love these peoples from this part of the world , Such great attitudes, no "hang ups", They keep negative thoughts and opinions amongst themselves, and those GENETICS!! Those 2 ladies said one was turning 80 years old, and she didn't even look 50 !!! Wow.... respect !!

Greetings from Thailand. Bangkok is also drowning from pollution as same as Chiang Mai where we are „waiting“ for the time of worst bad air created in the „burning season“. Great documentary 🎉.

[@FreeDocumentary]

I know. I’ve been reading up on Bangkok and air pollution is also a big problem. It is such a great city though - I sincerely hope things change soon for the better. Not that much time left 😕

@@frankfurtur5531 Great idea. Some shops (Big C, Rimping and many 7/11) not handing out plastic bags since three years now. Ironically, the recycling system almost doesn’t exist, so that’s the core problem.

[@ThePatriot-gm1fg]

The pollution in Chiang Mai is much worse than Bangkok, particularly during the burning season you mentioned.

We were visiting Bangkok in November and had no clue about all this. We did know about the floods, but not the predictions and concerns within the inhabitants of the city. I pick bits of this information in the video I am editing now. This dok was very insightful and helped me see Krung Thep from a totally different point of view. Thank you for sharing🎈

Most people watch video's from a phone, doing a voice over like many other video's meant for english speaking audience's do this. I have wanted to watch several video's like this, but the small white lettering that also gets blocked by other colors on the screen is hard to read. I have vision issue's anyway from the MS i have. Please choose video's that do a full voice over, because i am frustrated everytime i want to watch a video like this that looks interesting, but i can't deal with trying to read something i can barely see. I appreciate your video's, and it's not just your channel, so I'm not upset with you, just the people who make a video for english speaker's, but don't have enough sense to do a voice over so people can watch it without missing half of what they are showing because of poor translations you can't read. G-d bless.

[@robicamedia1554]

Super city, been there for a year and it's wonderful, even in the most crowded places. By the way, Bangkok is not the real name, it's the western name. It's more beautifully name and official name is Krungthep. And that's the short version of the official name, as the whole name is like the lyrics of a song.

Hii guys how are you 😊 you have amazing videos.. can i use some part from your video for re-narrated on my KZbin channel.. i will tag your channel on description for original video..

[@AlanggarnChanyangarm]

This documentary was probably filmed 15 years ago. Notice the Makkasan airport rail link station still under construction (FYI : airport rail link system was opened in 2010). Should at least show the exact year this doc was released in your description. If not, many might be confused and assume that it’s an up-to-date information. Not to mention the data from 2020 in comment section which might further confuse viewers about when exactly this video being filmed.

[@duvidefit3123]

yes, because they would also have mentioned the big flood in 2011, which was almost as bad as 1995

[@xraystylex]

there is no date shown anywhere, in which year this film was made. not in the info box, not in the film itself in the credits or intro ?

[@hisride]

yeah i want to know as well. I heard they said its been 9 years after rhe tsunami so im thinking it was 2013, 10 years ago

[@masksarelies391]

The water has been washing away Bangkok for centuries. Just because someone has only been there 15 years, does not render history untrue.

[@aquicktake]

When was this documentary filmed? Certainly not November 2023?? Seems to be at least 10 years old.

[@patrixius1536]

I’m native Bangkok and I notice that airport rail link was still under construction in this video so it’s probably filmed prior to 2010, the year it finished
