[@superheroperso]

Hi Pat, Im currently living in Onnut and I can see how fast it changed since this video! you should come back again. Condos are already built, no more noise, nice food markets, and it's so convenient to live there. I don't think there is so many places in Bangkok which have BTS, 3 malls with cinema, street food, restaurant, night life, bars, river, coffee places, all within 5min walk... with a direct access to highway.

[@BjornWangNorway]

I'm going to onnut and will look for a short term rental there and go gym and work remotely. If you could tip me in any direction would be awesome. For now I booked a hotel for 3 nights in the area, then I will look for a condo.

Pat - Yes. I remember when On Nut was a remote stop way out there at the end of the BTS line. But now I find myself going not that far out there searching for scarce street food since they gave the streets and sidewalks "Back to the People" around Nana and Asoke. I think you have a very interesting and informative KZbin channel. Also noticed that the views you're getting are outnumbering your subscribers. Not sure if you're interested, but maybe this could be helpful to you in growing your KZbin base. Veritasium now has 11.6 million subscribers and this video has received a little over 5 million views to date. Wishing you equal or greater success! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWPbeY2GfZqGpMk

[@findingretreat]

Love the narration!!!somehow u made interesting, otherwise could have been a boring vid.

[@wonderingwade1802]

I think Onnut is pretty good area for these reasons: two huge grocery stores right next to the BTS, tons of places to easily get local and western food in the area, best beef buffet, outside eating/drinking area next to BTS, some chill bars nearby, often a lot of girls who like to date expats live in this area, and gyms, especially for doing Muay Thai or Jiu Jitsu. Also, you can rent a newer studio or maybe 1 bedroom condo here for as little as 10k to 12k baht a month. The bad part is that it's crowd with locals and expats alike and not as hip or close to the center as the other BTS stops like Ekkamai, Thong lo, Phrom Phong, and Asok.

[@CryptoSteve007]

I lived in The Link Soi 50 for 3 years. Nice

[@gazh9913]

Nice job Pat! Great to see brothers in arms finally cover my hood. Some cracking shots of OnNut and nice balance overall. My reasons for choosing Onnut as a newcomer to BKK, are.. a modern well priced condo, 3 mins walk to bts. 3 supermarkets, 2 beer gardens (u missed one just down the road from the one u visited, they play live music in there), a modern shopping mall with a cinema and plenty of western outlets, the bars on soi 50, the great street food on soi 77, all within 5 mins walk! And a local vibe where no one ever tries to sell me anything or treat me like a tourist, which can't be said for living more "downtown". Constant hive of activity, never a quiet moment. Sanriri and habbito also a nice quietish oasis 10 mins walk away..but u are right on the wall of noise, its relentless, probably get less decibels living on an airport runway at times lol. Loving the football shots and poor Chris waddle impression from world cup 90 mate. What a player by the way, one of best England's ever produced. Cheers. Hope to catch u again soon.

When I first came to Bangkok, Thailand, in 2002, I remember O Nut was the last stop on the BTS. Now, it's so crowded there, I actually saw a line of people going from the ticket booth all the way down the stairs to the sidewalk just to get on the BTS.

[@BangkokPat]

Too many farangs have crowded the area, it was never that great in the first place.

Having lived in Thailand for 17 years yet never having explored BKK properly, I really appreciate these fantastic videos you make. I find them fascinating. You do a really great job. Thank you.

[@crazymonkeytravels]

After a crazy few years in Thailand of night clubs, drinking, and beautiful woman I was going to choose On Nut for my choice of Condo but decided to purchase further out in Bearing and I'm happy I did being that's it's a more Thai area has everything I need and bigger distance from the bars and clubs and it has reduced the temptation of the drinking party nights I'm sure something that has saved me $$$ over the last 4 years.

[@tonythaiger93]

In my opinion, On Nut BTS station being the last station back in the days really gave On Nut area real opportunity to grow economically but noise and crowd can be overwhelming. The condos near Digital Park area just two stations down (Punawithee) is definitely less crowded with all the restaurants/ 7-11. The fruit price in Bang Chak area is so much cheaper than Thong Lo :D

[@BangkokPat]

I've heard that area has quite a few fans, I know many who lived there, although never explotred it.

[@iskandartaib]

"On Nut" and "Bearing" were ones that stick in your mind, since they were at the end of the line, you saw them on many signs no matter which platform you were standing on.

[@tonythaiger93]

@@iskandartaib sadly Bearing did not get same chance as On Nut. Still a rural patch except few condos

[@iskandartaib]

@@tonythaiger93 Don't know if that's necessarily bad... Rural patches are disappearing and they can be interesting in their own right. Condos might be nice to live in, but I'm not sure they add to the ambience of an area.

This is the first video of yours I have come across, and I am so pleased I did. I have subscribed now, of course! Me and Thailand go back a long way, but this is the first time I have seen a more 'illuminating' side of Bangkok. It was a most welcome presentation. Your style, locations, photography, editing, etc. are imaginative and humorous. I loved that when you were greeting the goats over the fence, you started a story..."When I was a kid...". Loved it!!

[@JustLikeParadise]

Pat, You are a cornucopia of useful information and you present it with style and Grace. It really is exhausting to see the work you put into a video. I moved to Sukhumvit/On Nut to be around more English-speaking Thais and Farang Friendly restaurants from 2017 to 2019 and when I returned after two years of Covid Drama, settled down on 77. You are right Mate, noise galore and the walk from The Base 77 to On Nut BTS can be a nightmare but I just love the diversity and convenience. Definitely, quieter places to live in Bkk but it is never dull. Thank you for exposing places I never knew existed in the Hood.

[@BangkokPat]

Thanks very much, the constant hum of traffic at all hours would drive me mad. It's the first video where I've had to reduce the volume for the street scenes and most of the off street scenes even had the noise. The expressway is to blame I think as well.

[@tylerlowther8861]

I lived in the T77 community for most of 2021, and enjoyed it. My gripe here is the pricing of drinks/food/services. It's almost Asok/Nana levels for eating and drinking, but just one stop either way on the BTS to Prakhanong or Bang chak/Punawitthi and things get back to what they should be. Feels like a bit of a stealth tax for the residents of the "luxury" condos in the area. Still, loved my year there, great areas to explore if you don't mind a bit of sweat and grime.

[@brianwinner2249]

Brothers In Arms. For years I religiously stayed around Soi 19 Sukhumvit, then I was told about On Nut six odd years ago, and loved it from my fist visit. A lot cheaper, more genuine people and every thing you need. Loved the video.

Pat, your content is addictive. One comment; you create so many action shots which are only 2-3 seconds long. Many sequences are worthy of much longer duration, giving the viewer a lingering experience and continuity to a subsequent lingering sequence. I find myself pausing and rewinding to truly appreciate what you have created. OK if that's your style but I reckon us viewers are not in a rush to get to the end of your presentations. To me you are the the David Attenborough of Bangkok street life. Just a good job the felines ain't gonna eat you. Keep up the good work.

You summed up Onnut just about right, but as a past resident for 20 years I still have good memories about living about 3 Klm from BTS. I lived with the local people and where we lived it was so quiet and the people were very friendly ,so thanks for putting this up.

[@harrykeogh3994]

Thank you for this video Pat, it reminded me of the very happy 3 years I spent living at Ideo Verve On Nut & was especially great to see my old "Have a quiet beer" haunt at the little food square downstairs (I didn't see it in your video but the owner, who used to come chat with us most nights, opened a new place just down the road on the corner of Soi 79 which is very nice as well)... Great place to live if you want to live in Bangkok but outside of the city center, If I ever move back then I know where I'll be living (most probably back at Ideo Verve)... Where else can you have a Shopping Center, Cinema & 3 supermarkets (Lotus's, Big C & Tops) on your doorstep whilst being a few BTS stops away from the CIty Center (+ 1 stop away from Phra Khanong with all of the W-District's food offerings). Unfortunately after 3 years there we decided that we wanted a change (mainly due to Covid making everybody feel stir crazy) so we decided to move to the beach (Wongamat, Pattaya way) but I still miss On Nut & just being able to pop downstairs for a couple of beers in the madness that is Bangkok :)

I have a condo at the Ramada Sukhumvit 48, spend time between there and the country. It’s actually 2 buildings, the smaller front one has a restaurant and coffee shop and will become a small hotel, the larger back building is the condo units. I chose their because of the easy access from the highway and the closeness to eateries and the BTS. Will do some more exploring after seeing your video, by the way the hamburger place right across cheap Charlie’s is one of the best kept secret if you like hamburgers.

Had your channel pop up the other day and have now subscribed. I haven't lived in Bangkok or Thailand for a decade now, but when I last did I was on Soi 81. Pretty much just a residential road but if you had gone left at the end where you turned around, just a short distance along across from a school was what was once clearly a beautiful old house that was still lived in but had seen much better days. Could be gone by now.

[@manfredm2516]

I have lived in the On Nut area for a couple of years during the mid 90's, so I was thrilled to see that there is a Bangkok Pat video on the area. Overall, I enjoyed it a lot. Especially, as it covers the area off main Sukhumvit and most recent developments there. Honestly, however, I would have loved a bit more coverage of the actual On Nut Road (Sukhumvit Soi 77). That, probably, is because I am particularly fond of your ghost stories and On Nut is where the bonafide, classic Thai ghost story plays. Just off Soi 77 there is Wat Mahabut and the shrine of Mae Nak. I am sure you've heard the story or even seen the movie about the beautiful young woman (Nak) who died while waiting for her husband to return from war (Mae Nak). Anyway, just a thought and maybe an idea for a "ghost story video" in the future. Keep up the excellent work.

Hi Pat, wonderful channel, I just discovered it! I have a video idea for you (I haven't found anything on your channel like it yet, but I may have missed it): You talk a lot about the expat and tourist experience but it's typically from the POV of the white farang Westerner. What's it like for the Westerner of Asian origin? For example, I'm Filipino-Canadian. How would my experience differ from the White Canadian (as an expat and tourist)? How would Thais treat me? Pros and Cons? As a half-Asian Westerner yourself you surely have stories to tell and if you can interview others there that would be super interesting to me. Thanks for all your work Pat!

You are completely wrong about that. Bangkok is basically a garbage pit. The Chao Praya River is brown with sewage and dead fish and motor oil,; the canals are in fact polluted with industrial runoff and human waste; the slums and homeless areas - like abandoned construction sites where funding fell through so the investors took their billions and went bankrupt - are inhabited by rats and poor people, drugs addicts and thieves. The air? People smoke cigarettes in order to filter out some of the pollution in the air. This guy is showing you a special area of Bangkok where rich foreigners live

Hi Pat. I'm really glad you did a video on this neighbourhood. I too am from the days when On Nut was the end of the line. I came to BKK in early 2004. I've been to that neighbourhood a few times to cat-sit🐈 for some friends and I always love exploring in there. It's amazing how when you're 'inside' where the buildings are, and the Sansiri garden, you're really in a peaceful haven. Whenever you go to the BTS station, however, it's massive sensory overload. BUT that's what we love about Bangkok. 😄 Would you be willing to do a video on my neighbourhood - Muangthong/Impact/Chaengwattana? It has the pink like being constructed now, and this will run from one end of Chaengwattana, all the way down Ram Intra, all the way to Minburi. There's also those tall half-completed towers that were just left during the '90's recession. There's an abandoned hotel lakeside, which now has vegetation growing out of it. I can't remember its full name, but I can easily look it up and send it to you.

[@ruskie007]

Great vid Pat. I moved from Silom to Suk Soi 81 back when the NUT was the last BTS station, it was sorta green belt back then, no building's over 8 floors, changed a bit now with all the hi rise popping up all over the place.

Nice little walk around. Only got as far as Prakhanong on the BTS when I stayed in BKK. Living near Asoke, On Nut just seemed so far away back then.

Thank you pat for taking the time for making these videos, very informative and a pleasure to watch for us folks who are interested in the history of different areas of the city. Keep it up ✌️

Cheers for a great video again Pat just read the comments and John Mitch mentioned a tailor in On Nut I’ll check him out when I’m in Bangkok,,,,

Thanks mate. That's a tailor I may visit at some point too.

When I first got a place in Bangkok I rented a place right beside the BTS at On Nut, After about a year of renting I bought a place down Soi 12 Sukhumvit. I used to love it down here but recently I've been thinking about selling and getting somewhere further up the BTS line again 😂 I'm like a gypsy, I like an area for a few years then I get itchy feet. Gotta say though I really enjoyed staying around On Nut area.
