If you all would like more nature, there's a new forest park that just opened next to Benjakitti Park and the "Green Lung" of Bangkok, Bang Krachao is worth a day trip too, you can bike around that area (they have rental bikes once you get off the ferry)

[@OnePackWanderers]

Bang Krachao! If time allows, we'll check it out! Love the parks here, they're really nice.

[@tripontube365]

Around the park at lunch time it has a famous Buffet curry topping on rice stall all you can eat whose price only 1.5 $ a person. lot Taxi drivers and officers come here for full cheap buffet

[@OnePackWanderers]

We heard about this place from a few people now! Sounds really great, although I have no idea how they can offer all you can eat for $1.5 😯

[@litalien26]

We were there yesterday (11th January 2022) the iguana are huge...my girlfriend taught at first it was alligator 😆

[@OnePackWanderers]

Ha, that's the same day we were there! Small world. They are huge! Wouldn't want to get too close to one, they look like miniature komodo dragons!

[@kamolhengkiatisak1527]

You guys mention that Lumpini Park is at the centere of Bangkok. In fact, historically it was at the outskirt of Bangkok surrounded by orchards and rice fields about 120 years ago when the park was established by King Vachiravudh (Rama VI) who was the second eldest son of King Rama V. The eldest son and crown prince Vachirunahit died young at the age around 18. So Prince Vachirayudh who was educated in English boarding school nearly a decade was recalled home and assumed Crown Prince position. When he became King, he established Lumpini Park at the outskirt of Bangkok, far from the center of The Grand Palance, allegedly inspired by Hyde Park in England. It was the first and biggest public park in Thailand for many years until the reign of King Rama IX where several new and bigger parks were established including Rama IX park, Benjakitti and its new extension adjoined Lumpini Park via sky walkway. Benjakitti and its extension used to house Tobacco Monopoly of Thailand (no private cigarette producer allowed in this country), but the monopoly's factories were relocated to faraway province, making way for the new park. In this present reign (Rama X), the former royal horse racing track about 5 km away from Lumpini is now converted into public park by the order of the new King to commemorate his late father (Rama IX). Within the new park (to be opened in 2 years' time) is the statute of the late king. King Rama IX was widely loved by the Thai people due to his long reign and dedication to develop Thailand via hundreds of Royal projects, mostly in hilltribe areas in the North and through water irrigation projects throughout the country.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Wow, how Bangkok has grown over the years! It's hard to imagine Lumphini being on the outskirts. What a beautiful park though, and it is nice to see another park being made in honor of Rama IX.

[@pomruntour7116]

Actually, there are many parks in Bangkok. , Another interesting place is the Railway Park or Wachirabenchathat Park, you must try to see. There are many interesting things , Take the MRT subway to the front of the park.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Good to know! We looked it up, and Bangkok has 32 parks! That's so cool 😄

[@BKKWheels]

The green bridge that you walk can take you to Benjkitti Park. It’s a new park in Bangkok, the view of sun set is so beautiful. If you see from that park.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you for the tip! 😄

[@hadynjeffrey8210]

Congratulations on 5K Keep them coming and you will be at 10K soon.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you! Maybe one day 😅

[@shena.gun59]

You can't miss Rice and curry buffet forty baht. It's on the side of Lumpini Park. It's really cool.

[@OnePackWanderers]

We keep hearing about this buffet, it sounds really nice 🙂 Will definitely look for it next time

[@otto3768]

The big size of giant monitor lizards like to hang out around the lake close to the Rama 4 road. There is a good museum in Siam centre area where you ate. It’s called Bangkok Art and Culture Centre. Nice building… similar style as Guggenheim Museum in NYC.

[@OnePackWanderers]

So many amazing places to visit in Bangkok! Thank you for the tip about Bangkok Art and Culture Centre!

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Ahh parks always keep us sane when we are in a big city! This one looks beautiful! And those giant lizards!!! Dang!

[@OnePackWanderers]

For sure! Europe has some awesome parks, doesn't it? 🙂

[@greencraig8570]

There are a lot of great restaurants on Soi Lang Suan, which is right off Lumpini. Also, one of the best times to see Lumpini is at around 8 am when they play the National Anthem. The park is full of activity. Tai Chi, dance classes, jogging, etc. Everyone stops what they are doing and stands at attention when the anthem plays.

[@mbkbenz]

This is my favorite travel vlog so far.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Wow! Thank you for saying that, it's really nice of you 😊

[@mbkbenz]

@@OnePackWanderers You guys did really great job, You always make me feel like those videos are too short and can't wait to watch next videos. So importantly, you guys are genuinely respectful and pretty informative but not boring, that's awesome and you have a good taste in picking Thai local food to present to audiences and you are really really adorable couple. PLEASEEEEE keep doing this and be like this. I'm a fan.

[@vivap176]

Foodstalls inside every public park are not allowed.. Only on some special occasions.. But at the Lumpini park.. there are foodstalls inside some certain areas in the morning to service people coming to exercise in the morning.

[@OnePackWanderers]

We had no idea! Kind of nice that they reserve the park for leisure though 😊

[@adorecharlie]

Actually there were no food stalls at the Lumpini Park even before Covid, except for some special occasions such as markets or celebrations. Those spots with tables and chairs are for the family/friend group picnics :3 The video was once again very nice, thank you ☺️

[@OnePackWanderers]

Oh, good to know! Thank you for the correction 🙂

[@manawatsankaburanurax5342]

If I'm not wrong. The food stalls in the clip was in Siam Square area.

[@frostx01]

I watch your videos and always like just so KZbin algorithm doesn't bury you. Wish you all the best

[@dannbangkok]

I think they will come good soon. ^_^

[@OnePackWanderers]

That's really nice of you, thank you 😊

[@lukevlogger]

ive been to thailand once . and i have to agree that they make good , delicious , quality food. i love thailand . wish can come back again .

[@OnePackWanderers]

Hopefully the border restrictions are eased soon and the situation gets back to normal. Really tough to say what will happen lately!

[@brynthomas2656]

We seem to be a couple of weeks in front of you guys traveling about 👍 the park had a large food market outside when we went on a Saturday, people sold what looked like popcorn to feed the fish in the lake so so many fish and lizards. Enjoy the travels🤙

[@OnePackWanderers]

Ha, small world! I think we'll need to go back to that park in the morning or evening, and perhaps on a Saturday!

[@kburke5564]

Another great video, thanks for sharing. Glad the lizard didn't 🦎 get you, good thing you were monitoring it. Looking forward to your next video, take care 🙂.

[@OnePackWanderers]

We see what you did there 😂

[@user-fk6zc8qp8x]

Actually the Green Mile connects 2 beautiful parks of Bangkok , the Lumpinee Park and the Benjakitti Park. I'd like to recommend you " the Benjakitti Park" since they have an expansion project called the Forest Park which will turn this park to be the largest forest park in central Bangkok. It's super chill if you go there in the late afternoon. The sunset at the Forest Park is so beautiful and at Benjakitti park as well. It's worth visiting and hope you guys will enjoy it. Fyi. Bangkok have a lot of green area and at least 11 large parks throughout the city.

[@OnePackWanderers]

We had no idea! Bangkok does indeed have beautiful parks. Many more than some other cities 🙂

[@jomontanee]

That calico kitty moment….awww I am melting!

[@OnePackWanderers]

He was so cute! Such a sweetheart 😊

[@topgammar3763]

A must visit Benjakitti Park and Central Forest Park are right next to Lumpini Park.

[@SarisaT]

Thank you for sharing again! This time you both walked passed where I used to work and that bridge that you walked across to lumpini park I was always walk to the MRT station back home 😊.. However, normally you will see more people go to Lumpini Park around 5 pm until evening because during the day people are working and also it is very hot that's why you see nothing there during the day so next time you go around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="330">5:30</a> and wait to 6 PM when everybody stop for national antheme 😊 also that green bridge if you walk there it access you to another park which is very beautiful. Also next time when you order food. If you want it to be less spicy then tel them "Mai Ped" it means not spicy but again not spicy it is still spicy but less spicy then usual or "Ped nid noi" it means spicy but not too spicy lol.. Or if not spicy at all say "Mai Sai Prik" it means don't add chilli so enjoy food and can't wait for your next video!

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you for all the information, that's is seriously so helpful! 😊 With the food, Cheveyo likes is spicy so sometimes when I try it, it's too much for me 😅 I usually order things not so spicy though

[@user-oq8ts4mt5m]

Have a good time and welcome to my country.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you! 😊

[@colleen4062]

Very nice the food looked so good i also do not like spicey. Thank uou stay safe and Happy.😊🙏❤

[@OnePackWanderers]

Spicy definitely is not for everyone 😅

[@WushuTaz]

A really chill park! I'm sure your spice tolerances have increased since your arrival to Thailand. Keep stepping it up!

[@OnePackWanderers]

Slowly but surely we are working on it! Cheveyo's has progressed further than mine 😂

[@lucca_lee]

U left wrong station got u walk pretty far if were at Sala daeng station it would be like 3 minutes walk or if u took mrt the station will be right in front of the park. Food court in Onnut is meh.... Terminal 21 mall at Sukhumvit station is among the best foodcourt (at least before covid) in town it also very cheap . Siam the station that u got off is actually very centre of town it the heart of commerical area in Bangkok there nice looking malls and good food court such as in Siam Paragon ( a bit pricy though) MBK used to have a nice international food court but not sure how is like around this time cause that mall rely main on foreigner visitor next to it is a free art museum pretty nice to check it out. Oh Central world mall also got a good food court on theor top floor it got sky bridge connect with Siam BTS or it own BTS at Chidlom. if you not get enough with the mall yet try Emquartier at Prompong station it got free view point on the terrace garden (in hellix zone)

[@OnePackWanderers]

We came from On Nut station so it was faster (and cheaper) to get off at Ploen Chit than to make the connection and go all the way to Sala Daeng. Thanks for the tip on Terminal 21! We ended up going there and it was really great! 😊

[@chatree1555]

You should also check out Benjakitti Park. It has a large lake with a nice view of Bangkok's skyscrapers. Right next to this park, Is a new forest park with skywalk, just recently opened. FYI, Benjakitti Park is in walking distance from BTS Asoke station.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thanks for the tip! The skywalk sounds incredible 🙂

[@ZomzNaey]

i like you guys I want you guys to stay in Thailand for a long time. Thailand has a lot of places to visit. I hope you guys happy and having fun in Thailand.

[@OnePackWanderers]

We are very happy in Thailand 😊 This is a beautiful, wonderful country

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Oooh I’m with you on the less sweet boba 😋 I saw the lizards on your Instagram but I had no idea the park would be surrounded by a skyline city view 😂 so awesome that y’all didn’t have to go far out to see these guys

[@OnePackWanderers]

We didn't expect to run into huge lizards so close to those tall buildings! Was a cool experience for sure 😊

[@nixferguson7323]

Well done guys another fantastic vid 👏 👍 👌

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you very much 😊

[@itsmepim]

I recommend you guys to visit suan luang rama 9 park it's really beautiful place and also near the srinakarin train night market and the market open on Friday to Sunday .

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you for the suggestion 😊 Beautiful park + night market sounds like a really good combination 🙂

[@itsmepim]

@@OnePackWanderers the srinakarin train night market isn't too far from Onnut road .😁 You can chill out at the park first and enjoy delicious food there . I think it will take 20 minutes by walking to the market :)

Another great video guys. Just got into Bangkok myself yesterday to start my 4 month Thailand trip. I hope my videos on my channel (one guy travels) turn out as good as yours. Thanks again for great content. Love Lumpini Park. There's a 40 baht street food buffet on the opposite side of the park that I want to check out while I'm here. Something you guys might be interested in too.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Welcome to Bangkok! We had no idea there was a buffet cart around that area! Really cool concept. We'll be watching to see if you make a video about it 😊

Tia, you probably tell the seller to make it less spicy, so you can eat that " Yum Fried Chicken"

[@OnePackWanderers]

We like to try it spicy, even if it's a bit to much for us sometimes 😅

[@nuniis]

i don’t know why but you guys became my friends in a way that i didn’t even notice that too. it feels like i need to watch every thai vlog of yours for no reason lol

Jim was an American intelligence agent & architect who worked here in WW2 and stayed on to rescue the Thai silk industry. Fascinating history & mystery in gorgeous settings and well worth the entrance fee & guided tour. Nearest SkyTrain station is National Stadium, take exit 1 and its a few minutes stroll.

Next time, tell the cook, PHET NIT NOI ( mild, not so spicy). Tia will be able to take it then. Enjoy your videos

[@KoffieMoffie]

Yes you can ask to moderate the chilli. Phet is pronouced pet not fet. And if you just want it to be the normal spice level you say pet tam madaa. Thai people are very used to farangs not eating too much chilli and will always help you. And if you want to tell someone the food is delicious say aharn aroi or aroi maak maak. A compliment will make their day.

congrats on 8K subscribers maibe soon there be enough comming in from youtube to just keep doing this for years to come seen some nature series about lizards (think they where komodo dragons not monitor lizards) they can smell blood from far away and even a woman on her period is not safe from them a bite from a komodo dragon causes a lot of inflamation due to bacteria in there mouth , they basicly bite a prey have it run off than follow it untill it drops dead from bloodpoisoning or bloodloss lets just hope these arent the same lizards as a komodo dragon

[@KoffieMoffie]

Definitely monitor lizards. Komodo Dragons do not live in this part of the world.

[@OnePackWanderers]

That would be one heck of a dream come true, but we have no expectations and we know that's probably unrealistic. We read that those lizards were monitor lizards. Not as dangerous as komodo dragons, thankfully. Still wouldn't want to get bit!

[@OnePackWanderers]

Yea these were monitor lizards. Indonesia has komodo dragons though 🙂

[@watahyahknow]

@@OnePackWanderers since youre channel is taking off its not that unrealistic to start a online travelagency , and spread the word through youtube , it would be a way to earn some extra money and keep traveling longer than the expected year you would need to have some background knowlege and company insurance incase people dont pay or companies dont deliver , another option would be to write a book or multiple booklets about the sights you whent to see per country , that would take some time away from youtube but the income from the completed and published book(let)s could be longer lasting dont realy need a printer/publisher for that , nowadays after having the book edited they can be saved in a digital file printed on demand using a docutec (copier on steroids) with a paperback and glued spine or sold in digital format to be read on a phone or laptop theres a little method to my madness , im hoping you can keep traveling and putting out content for a longer ime than youre planning at this moment and adding to the budget would be a good way to do it
