I had a beta firmware for OP 3 and crackles of mic 2 were gone. With the new official firmware crackles are back.

[@JohnnyStrides]

They're gone for me (on the latest firmware). Hopefully this problem is solved for good!

[@azamyahmad]

Absolutely beautiful beautiful sharing adventure documentary updated resume and you nailed it again and doing such an amazing job, gorgeous filming footage and appreciate your efforts and hard work for sharing your beautiful sharing adventure .. Merci beaucoup

[@Perfectlyhonest22]

I’ve stayed in the adjoining Novotel and loved the location and facilities

[@devinsullivan6160]

Always great review videos Johnny. LOL, the voxel art and colors, it feels like a very strange ultra modern/ minecraft vibes.

[@m.l.e.8956]

Very nice views. I had no idea Bangkok was that big and sophisticated.

[@IvansBikesBmws]

Top notch review.

[@dylanreynolds8264]

good morning everyone

[@KammiNeko]

That was an awesome tour I'm gonna watch all of your other ones. Good job! 👏👏👏

[@martym61]

Great video. Nice views of the skyline. For the money, this looks like an excellent choice.

[@brentsarazin6597]

Wonderful looking room and the mattress, like you mentioned, is the key. The computer chair looked like a toad stool...😂

[@timothymantey7737]

I just came across your page! Its great and I love you videos, as you always seem so calm and just take it as it comes! Love to travel as well and been around the world and appreciate and enjoy your take on the world. Love Bangkok, and Thailand as a whole. Enjoy your vacation and time there. :)

[@elizap]

Looks comfortable and good location. Price is really good.

[@unknownuser0006]

4:03 you edited out some elevator fun here :P The room is more than fine or I have low standards, the whole building is nice to me

[@harjotjassal9180]

Very nice video Johnny

[@jacquelines9966]

Good morning

[@JB50713]

Wow big city!

[@colindavy5554]

Thank you for the review! Loved your review of The Standard too. Just so you know, Ibis is pronounced Ai Bhus

[@KammiNeko]

Yes, or "bin chicken" in Australian

[@user-pz4el9mh1g]

Доброй ночи, Джонни! Ты красавчик, все интересно рассказываешь, видео замечательные! 👍🏻

[@aerodicus]

Nice wiring!

[@christinecamley]

Hi Johnny! This is a terrific tour and your hotel looks awesome! Did you prefer The Standard? I know that hotel line is where 'influencers' (whatever they are!! - lol!!) stay and more of a young/hip crowd although I felt like I fit in during a couple of stays at Standard hotels. I think the LA Standard has been sold. This one looks great with lots of things to make a stay nice! Hotels are never perfect but it looks like a good choice! $136 is amazing for a room rate! For me I find such great luck with hotel bed mattresses! I always want to buy one when I come home! Lol! I sleep so well in many hotels! Not sure why! I do always ask for a quiet room! I admit I like I nice room. I stayed cheaper in my younger years but at 59 and working damn hard as a psychologist, and it's a never ending job, I have to luxuriate a bit on trips. I like your room and it's definitely a 3.5 which is great and comfy! Cheers! 🙂

[@johnsmith67931]

Yeah I would want something like what Johnny got. The pool looks very exquisite too.

[@fattony9227]

@@johnsmith67931The rates tend to fluctuate according to seasons. I have booked a room for next June at around the equivalent of $50 a night. During the busy tourist season (Dec-Jan), you could pay over $65+ a night.

[@JohnnyStrides]

The Standard was leagues better as a hotel, but that's reflected in the price. If it was entirely on my own dime I'd opt for something in between the two (we were trying to keep costs low on this trip). But if I'm getting cut a deal to stay there and make a video I'd have opted for The Standard lol

[@christinecamley]

@@JohnnyStrides Very understandable Johnny. Costs matter.

[@Eli.Outdoors]

Does the bathroom have a vent fan and can you open the window?

[@wilburbonzo]

there isn't enough room for more lounge chairs in the pool area

[@Christina24life]

Are there laundry facilities?

[@Letsgowarriors2023]

At 3:40 into the video the names of this channel changed to Johnny Stares!😂

[@justinha778]

Is this hotel close to the skytrain station Johnny?

[@fattony9227]

Yes but the hotel has a shuttle tuk tuk that takes you to Nana BTS. From there you can walk onto soi 6 all the way to the hotel.

[@BarbaraPerkins1952]

The table...

[@jesset4437]

Those Thai words mean admirable or fond of (profoundly)

[@JohnnyStrides]

Thanks!

[@A380_Flyer]

is there a mcdonalds anywhere near this hotel?

[@JohnnyStrides]

About 7 or 8 minutes away by foot yes.

[@Perfectlyhonest22]

The problem is that the pool is shared by both Novotel and Ibis Styles guests so too busy at times

[@Aces77777]

Unbelievable I saw 7-11 store

[@fattony9227]

7-11 stores are every where in Bangkok!

[@Importantfeelings]

Looks like a great country to visit. But*, 33 degrees! No thanks.

[@fattony9227]

Enjoy your freezing tundra!

[@kayflip2233]

Funny now Johnny always insists on speaking English to every Thai person. Never a Sawadee Krab or Khub Khun Krab. He can't be bothered to make an attempt. 🤣

[@JohnnyStrides]

Funny how you’ve never made a single intelligent comment despite having dozens of attempts 😂

[@kayflip2233]

@paulwagner9788 lmao, another Westerner with zero language skills. How about I visit you in Canada and speak Mongolian? I mean most Westerners want to be cosmopolitan and sophisticated right? They can practice their Mongolian with me. 🤣

[@zulithern]

I'm watching from Thailand and mentioned the hotel chair sucks, because it's "iBis Styles" so the design always awkward ... Maybe try regular iBis or Mercure hotel. I highly recommend "Holiday Inn Express Siam" near MBK Center because it's more suitable for you... Love your reviews too

[@babyshark5647]

Good morning
