Exploring Bangkok's Hidden Side with

I gotta say it was definitely an afternoon very well spent in the company of someone who has the same passion for this city as me, a very big thank you to yourself and the hard working Jasper, whom I met 2 days later doing b-roll, the ultimate perfectionists, both of you. Thanks again and see you soon!

Your little crusade against Khao Soi 🤣Yeah it's nothing special, just noodles in curry broth, It's all right, but I wouldn't want it every day. More of a Chiang Mai thing.

32:39 This graveyard was the place where my grand father was buried, but about 30 years ago when the land was reclaimed to build the express way, we dug the bone and cremated. Now his ashed is kept in the other temple where my family can easily go and pay respect.

My mistake it was 40 not 30 years.

Pat is a Fantastic ambassador for Bangkok, also a true gentleman. What you see is what you get . Spending time with him was the highlight of our trip to Thailand.

I literally just finished writing a community post right now where I described Pat (and Gary Butler) as being absolutely authentic on-and-off screen. What you see is indeed what you get. Thanks for the comment and hope you enjoy the video

I also binge watch Pat's videos and have to agree that he is the hardest working youtuber. No one does the amount of research that he does. Thanks for more insights into Bangkok.

[@garethpotter]

Excellent! You, Pat and Gary’s are my favourite Bangkok channels and I love a decent collab. I first visited BKK in 1990 - no subway or skytrain. I love how it’s changed but somehow retained a whole lot of the character I first fell in love with. Thanks for this.

[@CBD7069..]

The deep research you and pat do align with how I view history, food and culture. I’m very thankful your channel exists. I can have a shit day at work but feel happy watching your videos!

Such a kind comment. Thanks!

[@richardhughes8352]

I can’t thank you two enough for all you do. Both OTR and Bangkok Pats channels are outstanding. I’m a Canadian who comes to Thailand every year on vacation. I’m counting the days until October 5 when I fly back to Bangkok. In the mean time I live vicariously through your channels. They never fail to bring a smile to my face. To you both a very sincere thank you!

There are a lot of Chinese cemeteries near Charoen Krung road. That Teochew cemetery is the largest one. From there to the north near Sathorn road there are Peranakan, Hokkien, and Hakka cemeteries. To the south near Chan road there are another Hakka cemetery and also Cantonese and Shanghainese cemeteries too.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

Yes, Pat does do all his own work on his videos, although i can claim to have helped him in a very small way by holding his camera while he did a couple of pieces to camera, when out on a tour with him. And it can take a while to get it right, shot after shot until it's just right! Well worth doing one of his tours......

[@lalida6432]

My dad’s in his ‘80s now. He was born in Bangkok near some canals. When he was little, Thailand was still a Japanese puppet state. On one of our last trips back to Bangkok, we were talking about where places were in the city. I asked him where he grew up. He said it didn’t exist anymore due to development. That was kind of sad.

[@marciewyatt2342]

My father was stationed in Bangkok when he was in the Air Force and when he first arrived he took pictures of the Bangkok Airport, the floating market boat tour and the temple tour in 1967 while he stayed at The Parliament Hotel. Now, I wonder if it's still there. 🤔

[@aitheignis]

Thanks for a great video portraying the side of Charoen Krung that not so many people visiting it realize it exists. I had been living in the area for 22 years before moving to Europe. Your video make me miss the area, and inspire me to also record Charoen Krung from my point of view - to keep it as a historical evidence of this period in time. In case you haven't visited the souther part of Charoen Krung road starting from the intersection between Chan road to around Thanon Tok (Tok road) yet, I really recommend it. Unlike the hustle and bustle of Bang Rak/Yao warat area, the southern part of Charoen Krung road is more of a quiet residential area. However, that is also the best thing with this area as you can feel and enjoy everyday life of locals even more. There is also another cemetery called Bangkok Protestant Cemetery in the area. This one is one of the last few Christian cemeteries left in Bangkok (The one near Silom got demolished many years ago). Not to mention that this area is also full of many local restaurants that I consider the best in Bangkok. Just to give some examples, there is one Pad Thai stall in Charoen Krung 79 that I dare say that it is much much better than Pad Thai Pratu Pi. You can also find many great muslim restaurants around Charoen Krung 103 and a great dim sum shop near Charoen Krung 74.

How are the hutongs these days?? Those (pre-2017 "re-bricking" demolition) were some of the best years I've ever had. Just the coolest place on earth for a short time.

[@laisee]

@@OTRontheroad Still great, no more "chai's" of course except when irreparable buildings are rebuilt in traditional style. The great brickening came and went, but places still pop up where they can and gentrification proceeds which is good and bad (some great coffee places with oodles of atmosphere now in Shichahai). I still love it, but am contemplating that move... oh man... can I? after 27 years?

[@Urlocallordandsavior]

My maternal grandparents were born in 1920s and 1930s Thailand and moved to the US in 1977, alongside most of my dad's side of the family. They lived in the US for the rest of their lives: I never got to saw my grandpa since he died in 2001, a year before I was born, and my grandma recently passed away a year ago. Despite them apparently Americanizing to the culture, I appreciated them telling me their memories and traditions: of surviving the Allied bombings of Bangkok during WW2 and old Thai pop music from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. My grandma tried to teach me the Thai script but I was too lazy to do so, I still somewhat regret that to this day (even though I speak Thai).

[@alanaung1960]

In this video you mentioned about Khao Soi. This dish was original from Myanmar, but you can get in Chang Mai too. Full name was Ohn Noe means Coconut (Ohn Noe Khao Soi).

this must just got release when in going or about return bangkok ,Pat a great fun smart guy yes he is great to meet chat hang out with and always has fact or history to share

[@Tom-Yum-Gai]

NO ONE beats these guys for info and entertainment in and around Bangkok. Come to think of it no one does it outside Bangkok either which is shocking considering how much there is to see and know out there. Real vacuum (guys...hint hint...roadtrips!). More collaborations could only be a GOOD THING. IF there was any brainpower left in televised market, stations around the world would be knocking on their doors and paying high dollar for shows. Imagine what OT,R and Bangkok Pat could do with that budget. Spinofffs for example. CBS Sunday Morning makes interviews a staple of almost every show as does 60 Minutes. Profiles of amazing everyday people, boggles my mind what COULD be done. I'd suggest getting a media lawyer in for a chat :)

Hi Adam! Love your channel! Did you notice that Thais hold their chopsticks differently from say Japanese or the way you use them? Is it a Chinese technique?

[@OTRontheroad]

I'd say chopsticks are held differently simply because of different materials/shapes/styles- Korea and Japan both use unique styles of chopsticks. In Thailand it's strictly a Chinese-Thai thing. Classic Thai food is eaten by hand or with a spoon-and-fork. Chopsticks here are intended for Chinese-Thai food and are Chinese-style sticks. Hope that answers your question?

[@kittenastrophy5951]

@@OTRontheroad I hold the chopsticks Japanese style since I don't like the Chinese way. You know, I'm Thai. By the way, most of Thais don't care which style since they don't even know. Just use the way they're convenient with. May be it mixed in between.
