I’ve never seen a used refrigerator shop or a rat cart before! So many cool and unique items discovered

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

This is my first time seeing a rat cart this close to the city, I was shocked.

the spirit house next to the Thai wooden house, priceless, nice walk and great voice over

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Thanks Ralph, appreciate it! I really dig the diversity of the spirit house designs. There is everything from super opulent to ultra simple, much like Thailand itself.

[@GoMoreHike]

I saw a Google Pixel 6 ad before this video. You big time 🕺🙏😋

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Big time, baby!

[@drapey292]

This is what I have been waiting for! I am in love with this series!

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Thank you, I hope it was worth the wait....

[@scotttownsend1922]

Great tour.Love those traditional wooden houses

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Thanks Scott! Yes me too! the old wooden houses are so cool, some of them are really well built! I am super happy so many are still around.

[@waylinnelson]

Another great video! I enjoy these videos very much!

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Thanks so much Waylin, we love making them so it means a lot to us when people enjoy them.

[@cal1103]

Great way to travel in Bangkok especially rush hour.

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

100% agree man, it's also my favorite way to travel in the city. Clean, fast and affordable, what more could you ask for!

[@porkpie8667]

Loved the old Japanese car . There's lots of these in Thailand

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

I love a lot of the old cars that pop up in Bangkok. The other day Jib and I were out and saw a old Japanese pickup truck that was ultra small. It was so cool to see.

[@drapey292]

Wow, so much rain!

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Tropical rain ain't nothing to F with.

[@thaitopfitness]

Nice video mate!

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Thanks Mark!

[@GottoLoveThailand]

Like the walking videos but missing the candy Challenges thanks for the video guys have a great day

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Thanks Dave, Hahaha, The candy challenges might return some day. ;-)

[@jimmoore8891]

This series is worthy of either Discovery or the History Channel. Great stuff showing Bangkok well beyond the tourist destinations! Already planning on using this as an activity if we can come during Spring Break in March.... "Kids, pick a BTS stop and let's go explore what's there."

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

James, Thank you! Wait until you see the next episode there is something cool in that one I think your kids will love to explore.

[@ThailandLifestyle]

Ha Ha Ha ... I was laughing when it started to rain and your wife came running with the plant. Well done! Have a great weekend.🙃

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Thanks 👍

[@tomcullen7861]

Excellent report about water infrastructure in Bangkok!

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Many thanks!

[@lloydnaideck8664]

So happy episode 3 dropped. Really love the pace and narration of this series. It really feels like you're just walking around with a friend who knows the area. As to your question at the end about how does a locale deal with constant heavy rains; non-pervious pavement, integrated storm management systems, regular dredging of canals...and those are just the low-hanging fruits. It's a good question for a jumping off point on climate resiliency but also for a city like Bangkok, it kind of is just regular life. However it's tough to imagine that it gets better in the future. That being said, looking forward to the next episode!

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Thanks Lloyd, This area is currently flooded, as are most of the areas south of it. a combination of surging sea level, a cresting Chao Phraya River and several days of rain. All compounded by many of the infrastructure issues highlighted here, and as you said, a lack of canal dredging. I am working on a quick edit of that issue now to keep that conversation going.

[@faamp]

I love this series and really enjoyed this episode. Really got a feel for the area.

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Thank you! That makes us so happy! we love doing this series, they are a lot of work, but really enjoyable to research, film and edit. There are a lot of stations left and more planned to be added so with any luck we will be making this one for a while. With other videos mixed in of course.

[@RodKrisBisdakMotovlog]

Wow that's very cool and beautiful place to explore my friend

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Yeah, it's a cool area. Thanks.

[@Oliver-Travels]

Awesome 👏🏻😍 love this series, the Car with the side mirrors 🤣😅 love it. I think that was a serious attampt of pinping the car 😅

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Thanks bro, yeah this was a wild area, some cool sights for sure.

[@Oliver-Travels]

@@IdeaStudioBKK yeah was a bit different from the first 2 but it had its charm i say 😊

[@mariettathornton5924]

My husband and I are loving all of your videos so far Dana! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Thanks, the next episode in this series is in the edit queue... Hope I get to it soon because it's an epic one.

[@mariettathornton5924]

@@IdeaStudioBKK cannot wait 😊

[@ThairishTimes]

Cool area Dana, I’ve never been. Super informative, I like the detail you add

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Thanks bro, we got to make that colab happen, maybe we go explore somewhere together?

[@ThairishTimes]

@@IdeaStudioBKK Dana it’s the interview we need to do. I need to tap into your mind😂

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

@@ThairishTimes i’ll be back from my trip next week. Lets make it happen

[@RyanLeeTVThailand]

Love how niche you guys are! Great stuff.

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Thank you! We are glad that other people enjoy watching how we see the city. Jib and I are both designers and have a passion for urbanism so we figured we might as well highlight those aspects of Bangkok and beyond.

[@RyanLeeTVThailand]

@@IdeaStudioBKK it's great to see. Lots of people doing same stuff in Thailand. I love the channels that are different. I don't really know what I am doing I just like making vids 😆

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

@@RyanLeeTVThailand I could do condo tour videos, but I would rather not 555. You need to enjoy the content you're making, that helps a lot. I'll check your channel out as well, I always love checking out Thailand content.

[@RyanLeeTVThailand]

@@IdeaStudioBKK appreciate it 👌

[@sealight777]

Netflix level quality stuff, guys! Love it.

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Thank you! 🙏

[@BIGJED75]

Really nicely done. Weirdest mix of buildings, same as here in Phnom Penh around the Russian market. PS Cake is also good.

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Thanks Jed, i really expected there to be more built up, We had been passing by this filming the first two episodes and I thought this for sure was gonna be poppin... but nope. I was at the Russian Market in 2004 on my only trip to Cambodia. I think PP was a much different place then so I don't have a good point of reference. But I do remember a lot of the same infrastructure issues that were widespread in the city at the time. I even remember one bridge that looked like it was about to fall into the river.

[@HamNoytheDutchGuy]

So well documented Dana, the luxurious shopping mall and the old condos, wooden houses, old shops, and some nasty creapy snacks 🐀 love seeing the real thailand trough your eyes and with your thoughts. There is so much going on, wow 😲 Khob khun ma krab Dana & Jib 🙏 P.S. tha action shot of Jib runnin in the rain🤔 what were you thinking buddy 🙌

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Thanks man! The rats were a bit of a shock to me, I have seen them for sale in more rural parts of Thailand, far, far away from Bangkok. This was the closest I have ever seen it. I have a friend who lives in Issan and eat them regularly he really enjoys it and likens it to duck. As for the running shot, we had to cross that street anyway to get from the garden shops to the train so I figured I would run first and film Jib running over. LOL. Jib is always game.

[@HamNoytheDutchGuy]

@@IdeaStudioBKK hahaha Jib is always game. But i know the rat thing in Isan, my wife has family who hunts and then eat them, they put them on a stick above the self made camp fire, never tried but never say never 😉

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

@@HamNoytheDutchGuy If I were going to try it, I would do it in Issan, those are rice field rats, they are living in the fields, eating plants all day. This close to the city, I would have some serious concerns about the rats environment and diet.

[@alans8315]

Hey Dana.how you doing.I am subscribing after watching your interview with Pete. Inspirational man. Rock the dream. Oh your voice is also somehow very honest and soothing…. Cheers bro

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Awesome! Thank you! Much appreciated

[@robbo8888]

Great video what is the condo block called near the Robinsons?

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

If I am not mistaken its called The President Sukhumvit

[@tomcullen7861]

Khlong Takhet Fang Tawan Tok 6 Alley, Tambon Pak Nam, Mueang Samut Prakan District, Samut Prakan 10270, Thailand

[@WellRoundedMBS]

got her cake

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Yes she did!

[@streetfoodquest4198]

I've seen grilled rat before, but I have never tried it, have you?

[@KnitbyJib]

Nope 😬. I never try it

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Never....

[@steveaustin1984]

How long does is a BTS ride from Saim Station to Kheha Station?

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Between 50min to an hour once you are on the train.

[@REPSSTUDIO]

HEY GUYS.....

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Hey Kim! How is KL?

[@REPSSTUDIO]

@@IdeaStudioBKK i think KL is fine, phase 3 & 4 some areas if im not mistaken. Strick S.O.P rules. But people are allowed to go malls, watch movie, conduct sporting events.

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

we are pretty open here, but Loy Kratong just happened and there were some large gatherings, so lets see what happens.
