CORRECT INFORMATION The easiest, the cheapest and the fastest way to reach Wat Paknam from the centre (Sukhumvit) is to take the MRT (blue line metro) and get off at the "Bang Phai" station and then walk for 5 minutes through the Phet Kasem 19 Alley.

Thanks Rob, you've added another place to my Bangkok list. It looks amazing! Cheers, Phil.

[@ProjectBangkok]

Your welcome Phil! Happy to share with you

[@ketzer1964]

I can`t how many times I said "WOW" in front of my laptop screen in Germany . Definitely worth a visit

[@herseydogada8161]

I liked ths video Rob... it was peaceful

[@ProjectBangkok]

Thank you.. sometimes I don’t capture days like this because that are personal and I like to be in the moment.. but happy I shared it today with you guys 🙂

[@Kiwiboy1929]

Love your videos. They make me want to visit

[@ProjectBangkok]

Glad you like them! Get them flights booked 😁

[@Kiwiboy1929]

​@@ProjectBangkokI will have to persuade my wife first. Then again if I left her at home it would be more fun

[@SevimDalgicGul]

Don't listen to the haters, you are making deccent content.

[@ProjectBangkok]

Oh I don’t haha 😂 haters guna hate 😂

[@JustBaileey]

I’ve seen other KZbinrs video featuring this temple but they didn’t capture the serenity and beauty of the scenery quite like you did. I was hesitant about visiting previously but now I definitely will.

[@ProjectBangkok]

Not my best work but I really enjoyed my day out so that’s all that matters 😁

[@JacksparowLL]

Wat Paknam is so peaceful place.Most of Thonburi(Bkk westside) has so many canals, temples and beautiful communities.

[@ProjectBangkok]

I really like the canals! Opens up Bangkok and gives a different perspective

[@britslivinginspain]

The quality and footage of this video is epic. Very vibrant, and covered in depth showing some buts we've not seen before. We're doing a boat trip with hidden bangkok amd this is where we will stop (maybe around sunset)?- looking forward to this even more now. Thanks for sharing.

[@ProjectBangkok]

#ShotOniPhone 😂 always a pleasure to share this amazing city with you guys Boat trip coming shortly!! 😁

[@vincentsubmarinismo774]

Impressive Budda, and beautiful surroundings. Been to Bangkok many times, never been there, next time definitely! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@ProjectBangkok]

I wasnt too sure if it was worth a video or not but enjoyed my day out and wanted to share it

[@PaulTCoffee]

You have shown greatness !! This is best Vlog going around you have virtually brought us there … I have been there before but watching it on the Tele I feel like I am there . Thank you Rob and your friend this was very entertaining and informative.✌️

[@ProjectBangkok]

Always a pleasure! 25% of people are watching me on TV so I’m happy to capture things in high quality for you to enjoy

[@RickPatNB]

I went there with my friend last week. There were no other tourists around because we were there really early like 7 or 8 am, can't remember exactly. Because we took the night bus from Koh Samui to Bangkok and arrived pretty early at 5 am. So we had some time to kill. It's a beautiful Buddha, really impressive.

[@saekhudinyongdae-jp3bt]

how much is the entrance ticket?

[@ProjectBangkok]

It’s free

[@jimshelley8831]

The walk if you come from Wongwian Yai is good , some great samoas from the woman outside thw mosque. Big Buddha ive seen so many over Asia is not so much of an attraction for me.

[@GBobFree206]

I was there last week. Didn't see the waterfall though. Now I'll have to go back again to see that area. Thanks :)

[@richardbrown9344]

Is it easy to get to from Sukhumvit mate?

[@ProjectBangkok]

Yes can either take MRT or BTS to get close to it. I went to Talat Phlu BTS then walked 👍🏻

[@Hieronymous_Lane]

I see you had a Bangkok Pat moment there

[@ProjectBangkok]

What part

[@Hieronymous_Lane]

@@ProjectBangkok videoing the cat Pat always has a closeup or two of a cat

[@joezip6389]

Wow an amazing spot Thanks for sharing!

[@TheKingOfBeans]

It’s magnificent

[@YinYangJourney]

Wow. Amazing! What camera did you use?

[@ProjectBangkok]

Thank you 🙏 iPhone 13 Pro 👍🏻

[@w8ngr]

Ngl it looks as big Buddha in Hong Kong,,,, if you include the mountain and the thousand odd steps as well but keis will prob beat us all if he goes to the 1 in china lol

[@ProjectBangkok]

Oh you know it! Some of the stuff I seen in his latest china videos looks amazing! He’s got a good eye for capturing things well

[@w8ngr]

@@ProjectBangkok Ano that mountain shopping thing was amazing looking, when it comes to china people just think about Beijing Shanghai and Shenzen but 90% of big cities in china are just as modern nowadays, what he should check out is the ghost cities but the tourist board will never let him go

[@jasonbelt3624]

Beautiful, thanks for sharing!

[@ProjectBangkok]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jeff1bruin]

Went there earlier this month. Definitely worth the trip.

[@ProjectBangkok]

Hopefully the video gets more traction for people to see there’s more than just the big Buddha haha

[@mariovandenhovel1341]

Wow sooo Nice and soo cool ❤

[@ProjectBangkok]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@theresafry3514]

Great video. Nice .

[@ProjectBangkok]

Thank you very much!

[@abitofeverything2254]

Nice... 👍

[@ProjectBangkok]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@PamelaAlston-x5j]

We were in Thailand early this month and we took the Long Boat tour. The view of the big Buddha from the front side and the backside was magical as our boat slowly paddled through the Chao Phraya River. Absolutely stunning!

[@ProjectBangkok]

That sounds amazing! I have a boat tour like that coming up shortly! Can’t wait

[@TheOriginalFs]

Keis One called and he wants his KZbin vidoe style back. Hack

[@ProjectBangkok]

What you talking about? Me and Adam have completely different styles lol are you new here? Lol
