This video was so nostalgic for me! I'm from Vancouver too- and 19 years ago, having never travelled, just graduated college with no money to my name and never really having travelled but desperately wanting to- I on a whim applied for Emirates. I got the job and my first layover as an Emirates flight attendant was in Bangkok! It blew my mind! The chaos, the excitement, the food, markets, temples and especially the kindness of the local people. I was hooked! I don't work for EK anymore but have been back to Thailand including Bangkok many times! So many of the places you visited in this video I remember so well! Thank you for taking me back to one of my favourite places! Loving all the Travel videos lately btw! Fantastic quality too!

[@maxcrc]

Bangkok is nowhere near as dirty as many major cities ,including of the first world like New York City. It's packed with people but it's not bad organized. I lived in Bangkok 10+ years and there were never blackouts despite millions and millions of AC units work 24/7. Hospitals are excellent, even better than many of the West. Crime is ridiculously low, much lower than major cities like London or Paris. Shopping malls are amazing. Beautiful women are allover. Transportation with skytrains,undergrounds, boats, taxis is very good and it somewhat helps to reduce the crazy traffic. There are zillions of places to eat great food, for any taste and wallet. Bangkok is not bad at all. It's hot like hell but yoi have AC everywhere. I take Bangkok over most cities in the world.

[@kevinp8108]

My wife and I are in Bangkok currently, starting our retirement with multiple years of slow wandering. You did a great job capturing this city! In previous visits we only spent a couple of days either end of the trip in BKK, now we've been here for a month and it is so much better! The perspective is different, exploring local neighborhoods and meeting the same vendors over days and developing a different relationship with them. Anyway, kudos on the video and thanks for covering a city I enjoy. Cheers!

I hated it at first too 😂 it was a culture shock and like a different realm coming from America. It’s hot and humid, so much hustle and bustle etc and my first time was when it was still developing. No bts or mrt just tuks tuks, buses, taxis and motorcycles. It took me about 3 years for me to acclimate and feel like it was home. Learning the language and going to School there helped a lot too because you make friends and become part of a community.

no BTS and MRT!!? I was a middle school back then when BTS just finished!... tho the route is very limit but it super convenience.
