I have been visiting Thailand flor more than 25 years and I got family there as well. I can surely say that, from all the videos around about Thailand, your channel is one of the very few depicting Thailand as it is -its past and present, culture, religion, society- without nonsense. Congratulations and thank you. Keep it up please.

[@schellmann]

Excellent work as usual - even as a long termer, I still find something valuable in every one of your videos

[@BangkokPat]

Thanks mate!

[@twentyrothmans7308]

It's very true what you say about moving hotels around. It saves so much travelling time if you can walk to where you want to go. Thank you again for all your hard work on your channel.

[@BangkokPat]

Thanks! Often when you book a hotel and have never been to the area you may regret commiting to booking too many nights if you don't like where it is, and Nana is not everyone's cup of tea.

[@twentyrothmans7308]

@@BangkokPat I guess the tipping point was sitting in a taxi for an hour on my way back from MBK or my tailor to East Bangkok all the time. As you suggest, Nana isn't really me but you have to see it once. My Thai friend is an exec with a major hotel and I think she takes it personally when I don't stay there. They treat me like royalty when I arrive and it is difficult to resist. It's an art form to decline or say 'no' in Thai - worthy of a video in itself.

I like to have a 'street beer.'- A cold Cheers Xtra from 7-eleven and drink it on the street! My favourite spot for years has been the parking places opposite Dets Soi8. There are many other places to enjoy a drink while soaking up the BKK atmosphere, and so long as you are discrete no one seems offended. Thanks for the video.

Sofitel hotel is a great place for a beer, at the rooftop bar. I used to visit place frequently. Westin's lounge is also another relaxing place for drinks, and after that I get to play pool at the nearby bars.

Thank you pat, Love the channel. I miss Thailand. Spent a month there in 2016 mostly traveling north into chaing mai and Mae hong son loop etc etc. Made massive use of the train and stopped in many areas while traveling north... was a blast.. motorbiked through the loop in Mae hong son beautiful ride. Keep playing to my nostalgia I love it.

[@danieltalbot749]

Thanks again BKK Pat for another fascinating insight to what makes Bangkok such a wonderful place to visit, it ain't all about the Gogo bars and getting girls... it's the vibrant steady flow of life and the great walks about town, once again thank you BKK Pat, hope to buy you a cup of coffee here in the near future :-)

[@carverbob54]

Hi Pat: Great post. After what will be three years of the 'no fly' we have had plenty of time to plan our next visit, and we had chosen soi 10 a year ago due to its access to the park. We used to stay closer to Queen's Park and would walk there every morning, but Benjakitti provides a much bigger loop that we have taken advantage of for a couple of years. And my favourite 'gold guy' is right on the corner of Suk 10.

[@Chai_Travel]

Mate!? You covert so much! 😮I love this episode! Thanks for the tip about Soi 14! I have never been yet and I definitely wanna check it out. Cheers mate and stay champ!

Another interesting view of Bangkok...... i liked the sign you were standing next to in Terminal 21, they seem to have 'borrowed' the London Transport roundal.......

[@BangkokPat]

One of the floors is 'London' themed

[@JGerman68]

Soi 11 is a good place to stay. It has lots of places to eat and it's near the more busy parts of the area, but slightly removed. You can use the Nana BTS station to cross Sukhumvit Road which gives you clear access to Soi 8. There's an elevator just inside the walkway to the Q building that will take you back down to street level.

[@BangkokPat]

I agree with you, bottom end of 11 there's some decent places. Shame about Q Bar!

When in BKK, Sofitel is always my go to hotel. Great breakfast, bone crunching Bose Sound system in the base suite and easy to get around. Or frasers suites at Soi 11. Washing machine/dryer and kitchenette in the studio rooms and full kitchen in the 1 bedroom apt. Bit of a walk to get to the main road but value for money, and cheaper than the sofitel. Both are "guest" friendly as well. 🤣
