ไทยไม่เคยเป็นเมืองขึ้นประเทศ เลยภูมิใจในสิ่งนี้

Thai people are proud to be a yellow-skinned race but have never been colonized by Western white people.

I love Bangkok. Which is unusual. I don’t normally appreciate huge, busy cities. Bangkok is really more a very large collection of neighborhoods. We have to get access to the sky train to cross a major street but other than that everything we need is available within a few easy to walk blocks. To visit much further places the trains, subway and taxis are easy, inexpensive and clean. Two international airports, inexpensive and readily available exchange machines along with the best street food in the world makes the friendly Thai city the most popular in the world.

[@aandwdabest]

Bangkok is chaotic, cheap, and relatively safer and freer than neighbouring SEA nations. That constitutes its appeal, and I think you nailed it.

[@maegalroammis6020]

not a good city for westerners.

Thank you for a nice documentary ❤

As a traveller from the Philippines, I miss Thailand so much for 8 years now! My only attempt to travel was on April 5-10, 2013 in Bangkok, Samut Prakan, Ratchaburi & Sa Kaeo. Since I watched Miss Grand Thailand since 2016, I realized that there are 77 provinces that I need to memorize, and now I enjoyed BNK48's 7th single, 77 Suteki na machi e, just to memorize all 77 provinces, including its capital, Bangkok! As an MNLove (MNL48's fan) & 4648Group Hako, I'm also a fan of BNK48 & CGM48 (from Bangkok & Chiang Mai respectively)! Aside from them, I got to know other Thai Idol Groups there like Sweat16!, SY51, Violet Wink, Red Spin, China Dolls, Faye Fang Kaew, Tossagirls, Fever, Daisy Daisy, Cheesy Pie, Trinity, SBFive, and many more! Sending my love from Philippines to Thailand! 🇵🇭❤️🇹🇭

Since 2017 when this VDO first released, Bangkok now has 8 sky train / subway lines for a total of 210 km in lengths. they should reach the target of having 15 lines / 540 km in lengths by 2029. Things have already looked much different in the city after COVID hit. Lots of new attractions / conveniences. I would not be surprised if BK remains the top destination city for tourism post-covid.

Thank you for your hardworking to create this wonderful documentary about Bangkok, Thailand 🇹🇭 ! I really love the part that you mention about the full name of Bangkok. I think most of foreigners don’t know about this! The longest city name in the world in the Guinness book of records. It's pronounced as the following : “Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukarm Prasit” This means “The city of angels, the great city, the residence of the Emerald Buddha, the impregnable city (of Ayutthaya) of God Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious gems, the happy city, abounding in an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Vishnukarm.”
