Don't Miss it! 10 Things in BANGKOK we've seen since THAILAND’ REOPENED. This is how it is NOW.

I don't like to repeat myself - and this is the last time: Your channel and Videos are unique in the Thailand related KZbinr-Community. Also when not all your topics are my cup of tea

[@BangkokPat]

Thanks Franko, you're a legend mate, but you were one of the pro-feline supporters who asked for a video, not to say that's a lesser topic, far from it. I just try and show what I think may provoke interest, it's hit and miss.

[@deanpapadopoulos3314]

Such an organized, professional, and relevant presentation of facts. It’s refreshing from the scooter ride and the commentary about the palm trees.

[@BangkokPat]

Thanks Dean, your name is Greek right? I can't do a video without talking about whats around and finding details....I'd feel like I was cheating any other way!

[@deanpapadopoulos3314]

Yes, indeed, Pat...born in Athens (from Crete) and raised north of Chicago. Reside in Micronesia for past 30 years. Chiang Mai is like a second home to me since ‘97. Visit there twice a year. You have a knack for what you’re doing - many developed skills in this skill-set.

Pat, I haven’t really been watching many videos for a while, but I’ve noticed you’re video making skills are coming on. I liked the Q and A with Pete half way through. It adds a personal touch and breaks up the info with chat. Then there’s the jazzy 30s music that seem to be a good fit with your content. All the best. Tom

[@MisterPhat]

Agreed. The interview interspersed changes the tempo nicely and livens it up.

[@BangkokPat]

Thanks Tom, I am constantly learning, and when I began I wasn't that clued up on video making! That jazzy music is flavour of the month at the moment, expect to hear a bit more of that!

Great video as usual! And nice to see Pete and Jeroen's clip 😎

Thanks Liro, I thought about going to one or two places only but I thought let's go everywhere and show it for real. Too many videos shot to make viewers think it's back up and busy everywhere because that's where the hits are!

Thats where the guys are playing. Also experience of the moslem boat people who live along the canal. This is Bangkok for me.

Victory Monument is a cool area. While riding Skytrain, my Vietnamese wife spotted it out the window and really wanted to go back and check it out, which we later did. Tons of street food on offer and lots of bargain shopping. Not touristy at all, and so much going on. And you won't find better prices on fishermen's pants than here. ;-)

Back in the day, my father spent at least 95% of his time at the Madrid.

I've only been to Patpong once and that was during the day back in 2010. Of course, I went to the Madrid! He always stayed at the Nana and I'm guessing Nana Plaza wasn't up and going in the late 60's and 70's. That was back when the Nana was a brand new beautiful hotel.

The majority of 'Tourists' since 1st November are actually people returning to see their Thai partners/family/property, or at least being TH regulars rather than holidaymakers, although I'm sure there are a few brave souls purely holidaying in TH. Whilst all governments are making knee-jerk and/or illogical rules/decisions at the moment, Thailand does seem to be one of the leaders in that field. So very few will risk having their precious holiday time restricted by an odd order from TH, possibly followed by another one on their return to their home country. TH could have avoided the worry on their side but the gov appear to like making inconsistent/hypocritical decisions to prove their authority.

Traffic is back to pre-pandemic levels. Went to a restaurant the other night and a bar broke out, almost everyone there was drinking, hardly anyone was eating.

💿 Fortune Mall Rama 9 🤫 Victory Point used to have a small stage for locals musicians to play but normally busier lunch times. Plus it's where all the buses stop so noise and pollution a factor. Was busy back when all the white vans parked in saxophone pub street. Victory Monument I see many expats living in the area. Center One Mall gets busy + Century The Movie Plaza which I frequent the most. King Power Duty Free Rang Nam Rd has a food court pricey but good and tourists used to be offered ฿400 meal vouchers. Yes lots of hospitals in the area. Ideo Victory Q next to BTS and Rythym Condo's are full of doctors + Students of Mahidol University. They have the best views of Victory Monument. Cheers!

Thanks Lindsay, I'm a regular at Eat Am Are on the corner of Rangnam, which is the first branch I believe.
