Soi 8 Sukhumvit, Bangkok

Here's a few links for my favorite credit cards. I try to check the links often, but let me know if there is a problem. If they change the offer on the card, I may need to update the link. Full disclosure, I get a few airline miles for referring a new customer. You should get the same public offer at no additional cost. Thank you very much.

If you enjoy checking out Bangkok and other SE Asia spots, consider subscribing. I'll continue to make videos showing the streets in Bangkok and beyond. Thailand is amazing and a great place to visit, work or retire. I'll do my best to show you how to live affordably in SE Asia. Plus, enjoy some great side trips from Bangkok.

I think I wrote a comment about one of your more recent soi 8 videos, but I found this one. My grandfather's old house is the one at 26:17.

[@davidkeery3509]

It's such a big city, your establishing shot was amazing. Such big streets

[@EagerExpat]

Thank you very much

[@mmamommamo6152]

Lovely.very informative. Thanks

[@EagerExpat]

Glad it was helpful. More videos on the way

[@mmaranta785]

I stayed at the Adelphi in Nov 22 for a couple nights. It was about $50 USD a night. Very nice place but the rooftop pool is tiny. The Ambassador Hotel has a large pool and good rates.

[@EagerExpat]

Thanks for the tip. Soi 8 is pretty nice

[@CocoDodoTV]

Good luck, man. You’re doing a great job.

[@EagerExpat]

I appreciate it. More to come

[@roybaht]

Kiwi was indeed on soil 8. Great local bar.

[@EagerExpat]

That was a fun spot. Hopefully, it comes back one day

[@peten409]

The second side soi connects to soi 6 via the kasalong which is a great short cut, I usually stay soi 6 in bangkok love the location. You have to go thru the shops and it zigzags thru thai style.

[@EagerExpat]

Yes, I've used that shortcut a few times. Good tip

[@capetonian]

Thanks, great vlog. I usually stay at the Crown BTS Nana, only 2 stars, but well positioned. Earlyish morning coffee at Tipsy Tat - they are mostly the only ones that open early, and I eat mostly at Det 5. All round, it's a great area to base yourself if you're in town for a coupla weeks.

[@EagerExpat]

Thanks for the tips. Yes, people like Tipsy Tap

[@eugenevincent145]

Totally agree with the point you make about tailoring. Fabric is so important.

[@EagerExpat]

Nice to get a shirt tailored for $2

[@TonyVsSportsShortsandMore]

That pizza place, Vesuvio is actually really good. I bumped into Thailand Rob on a visit to Phuket and he recommended it. The spicy pepperoni was delicious. You should definitely give it a try. Det5 is very good too. You’re spot on about the chicken soup. Thanks for another great video. Love the exploration. Since I can’t make it over there right now, your videos are probably the next best thing to being there. Keep it going Joe.

[@EagerExpat]

I'll have to give Vesuvio a try. I'm a Pala Pizza or Bella Napoli guy. Det5 has great soup

[@TonyVsSportsShortsandMore]

Well done, “Squirrel on the line”, another great band name.

[@EagerExpat]

Ha ha, that would be a good band name

[@mariovandenhovel1341]

Nice vlog❤

[@EagerExpat]

Thanks for watching

[@vs123]

Thanks you very much promotes traveling in thailand

[@EagerExpat]

I love Thailand. Great place to visit or live

[@LuckyCatAdventures]

thanks for the tour.👍 seems nice and quiet the further down you go 👏

[@EagerExpat]

Yes, it's mellow down near the park

[@Marinate305]

"And I'm always packing Leo's." 🤣🤣🤣

[@EagerExpat]

Always room for a Leo

[@Marinate305]

@@EagerExpat I just left Phrom Phong, moved down to Nana. I really like the Phrom Phong area. Hope to run into you before my trip ends. Appreciate your videos and as I’ve stated before, more so the commentary.

[@EagerExpat]

@@Marinate305 Cool. I'm trying to be on the wagon for a few days, but I'm always around. Maybe meet up for a beer before you go

[@udonboy7584]

Kiwi bar was in the first Soi you went into . Now velvet bar , was a great pub more a rugby bar but great food

[@EagerExpat]

Kiwi was a good bar back in the day

[@01Goochie]

Great area of Bangkok.

[@EagerExpat]

I agree. Soi 8 is a great area

[@peten409]

I have a thai friend that used to work for a tailor shop in Bangkok until covid put them out of business. She's now in Pattaya and owns a massage shop.

[@EagerExpat]

You can get some great tailor deals around town

[@chas284]

Hi there Joe, you mentioned heavy metal, any good country bars etc in the city, common sense Chas.

[@EagerExpat]

Country is a little more rare. You'll hear country if someone puts it on the iPad. There is Country Roads in Soi Cowboy. But that's a little more 70's rock. As far as a Texas roadhouse style bar, I'm going to say no. Years ago, I remember one in Pattaya. I would go, if we had a good honky tonk

[@mmaranta785]

If you keep walking past Lolita’s you get to soi6 which takes you to Soi4

[@EagerExpat]

You sure do. Used that shortcut many times

[@tw25rw]

Kiwi was where Lyf is now.

[@EagerExpat]

Ya I remember it was in two spots. Back in 2013 the original spot, then it moved to the alley for a few years

[@mikaelVikberg]

Hi thank you for good video only thing im not agree is soi 8 is scandnavian or Danisch soi , Det 5 is so nice it is my first place to visit when i arrive to have some coold chang and a spice biff salad or before they have nam tok mmm so god. Thai lady have this before whit super service maby now ownd by falang ?? hope not ,,,

[@EagerExpat]

It's not a Danish Soi, but Det 5 and a few others have Danish dishes. Hard to find in other parts of BKK

[@paulmjprinz]

I thought they were advertising internet speed, lol.

[@EagerExpat]

Speed is usually good in Bangkok. Thanks for watching

[@FOCSANI]

The guy is old as well so walking so slow

[@EagerExpat]

I walk slow, so the video isn't blurry. You can speed it up if you want it faster.
