The first Thai Language Challenge sold out just from the email list so if you want to get on the Waitlist for the next Challenge just go to www.thailanguagechallenge.com/ and sign up to get notified as soon as registration opens, which will be pretty soon.

[@BadboyMax1986]

The Temple ist called Wat Pha Si =) I like to bike in Bangkok =) You can see much more things but you are not so fast as a scooter =)

[@humpernickle]

You were at Wat Pha Si วัดภาษี. Long time follower, but first time commenter. Love your channel, content and the love of my motherland. Much love from NorCal, US. Keep living the life I dream to have one day!

[@BadboyMax1986]

There are two Old German Beer Houses, One you show on the video and there a also one on the next street no. 13 =) Which you like more?

[@dongshengdi773]

Too many ladyboys scam

[@NanV5956]

Good to see you take us around in different spots in Bangkok. 😊and definitely friendliness in the Thai's culture. ❤

[@davisfamilytravels]

For those for you who haven't been to Thailand yet, just go. Chris's comment about Bangkok being less formulaic is spot on in so many ways. No matter what you're doing, you feel alive with all of the others who feel alive. Always talk to the strangers in Bangkok.

[@DreamofThailand19000]

I love when you said " you feel alive with all the others who feel alive". So true, I can't wait to go to Thailand 😢😢😢

[@giannilyanicks1718]

but why? it's never a good idea to talk to strangers

[@andrewcampbell8912]

Heartbeat of a beautiful Kingdom , Bangkok has something for every one , Worlds best food , great people , old traditional and modern new , When you do a holiday make Bangkok part of the trip it’s not a place to change planes , it’s the capital and a place to start your trip , get there

[@yasmeenislam3330]

Couldn't agree more! One of the best cities in the world ❤

[@southpaw1755]

Thai children make me smile!

[@nornill6885]

Friendliest people in the world. Hands down.

[@alansapilipinas]

Filipinos are about the same as well.

[@farangatang]

There are very few respectable Thai KZbinrs. But you are definitely one! You are knowledgeable, passionate, and genuine! Unfortunately the majority of Thai KZbinrs are little more than online beggars!

[@unclebobl]

Hey Chris, our Granddaughters goes to NIST.(New International School Thailand) great school, they both love it, great staff, and diverse programs, all the kids are in community programs and love the school, good to see the Bangkok Governor got that bit of the walkway along the Klong both cleaned up and the missing section finished, so kids and others can walk to school.

[@EarthCamper]

Absolutely loving this walk around n talks n street food video.....❤so nice ... Thai people live up to the saying live n let live...they are welcoming n smiling...I have not seen anywhere else .... specially if we make video they smile n welcome...not in most other places. Even people visiting from other places become more happy n friendly when the come to Thailand.

[@rzadigi]

Back home you were just an average Joe (or Chris) but in Thailand you are a celebrity. Who wouldn’t like that!?😂

[@utaiwandora2524]

of course, he is celebrity here because he did a lot of good work to my country and city he's living in ... Chris can spot on something that we, Thai, might forgot and show us the beautiful side of our living. He started this right after the Covid when the world was turning back to us... the very first youtuber that made us back to tourist spot again. I wish Chris will not go back home because he's already home now.

[@markadler8968]

Every time I go to Bangkok depending on the weather I just intentionally "get lost" at least one day on my trip. I will find an area I want to explore, go there on the BTS get off and just wander around for most of the day. I usually find some really amazing food and interesting locations. Also for people wanting to see parts of the city that are seldom visited I suggest going on a bike tour.

[@hunterlord101]

I work in Korea and im visiting Bangkok for a week soon. I just wanted to say thank you for the videos you make and how they've helped me prepare for what to expect! (Also cant wait to feel the heat again because I need a break from freezing my ass off!)

[@josephfazio7648]

Loved the video Chris! So miss Bangkok and it's people. Counting the day's till I'm back 🇹🇭🙏🏻

[@floyd-peki]

Chris, you are simply the best, simply wonderful❤🙏🏻👍🏻🇹🇭

[@blueorchidimports]

Great job Uncle Chris! I'm so glad the Thai language challenge is sold out. Everyone who is enrolled you won't regret it. Chris, that's exactly how you use Thai; you just go out and speak what you know; who cares if it's perfect Thai because the most important lesson is to overcome the fear. Beautiful video. Beautiful reminder that the beauty of Bangkok is not in its golden temples or massage parlors, but in the smell of grilled fish, the sound of a 7 Eleven door chime, and the sight of friendly people smiling. ❤️ รักในหลวง ❤

[@nikkinfl]

There is an extreme difference between public filming in Thailand versus the U.S. or Canada. The Thai people in this video are so friendly and even want to be filmed! If that was in the U.S. you would have people ready to confront you and saying, "You don't have my permission to film me!" And they would be ready to fight..lol...Love Thai's!

[@jerryb9182]

Depends on your job in any country .😂LOL

[@hanknotchinaski8222]

That's because so many people with cameras out in the west are complete douchebags

[@StoicTraveller]

So true

[@jeffryan7262]

True, but if you had any common sense you’d know there’s no expectation of privacy when it comes to filming in public. Whether you’re in the US or Thailand…

[@markart157]

the Western world is collapsing...

[@SherryPotter-ww6tb]

LOVE LOVE tour Thank You after visiting Thailand exploring all avenues of Thailand and after 2 years of investigating we are on our way back to Thailand May 10th with a one way ticket - Bangkok again for 2 weeks to finalize banking, etc then onto Hua Hin for our final destination. By the way coming from Canada

[@StevieSwed]

Chris, this was a really entertaining and interesting video. This video captured exactly how I feel about comming to Thailand. I don’t have a boring life back in Sweden, but Bangkok and Thailand overall, gives a extra boost to my life in so many ways. Thanks for all good things you bring. 🙏🏻😀

[@KingRisen-g1n]

That is Wat Pha Si, Chris. Great Video. No matter how many times I visit Thailand there is something new and exciting to see and do, you have stirred the wonder lust in me once again for my next trip.

[@RobFomenko]

Chris I like much how you interact with the people. I definitely feel the love and admiration you have for Thailand. The boat travel there was pretty cool. I spent the winter in Mazatlan Mexico 2 years ago and getting around by boat was the way to do it. Much smaller boats though. I am so excited that in less than 2 weeks I'll be in Bangkok.

[@dagsterblaster4973]

Chris, you radiate such joy and peace in this video. I’ve seen many of your videos as I plan my trip to visit. I’ll be there for all February 2024. Only 2 days before my longest trip of a lifetime! Have spent last two winters doing cross country travel in South USA. I’m so ready for my first Asia trip!

[@ศิรวิทย์เชื้อทอง]

As Thai people, we always welcome you. No matter what nationality We welcome you to Thailand.

[@BangkokBarry]

Great video, your words ring true about how alive you feel walking the streets of Bangkok. The people and the connection with the city is an experience like no other. The canel boats are a unique and popular way of getting around and I'll definitely be trying the Nongrimklong restaurant next week thanks for the tip CP! Hopefully I'll run into some time 😊

[@rabbittyb7019]

Heading to Bangkok in march, i love your videos. Spent my sunday watching your verson of 25 things to do in bangkok! best video on youtube!

[@arwenmegan]

I think the temple you were referring to is called Wat Pha Si วัดภาษี

[@AbroadInThailand]

Keep up the great work Chris Parker! 😃

[@henrymatheson54]

Nice video and interesting commute! My local neighborhood back a few years ago around Charn Itsara and I used to get that boat over to Central World. Wat Pha Si Temple is where you were. I saw that temple used to get busy during the evening of Loy Kratong where locals would gather to release their kratongs into the khlong.

[@micahmorris2905]

Your videos continue to inspire me. Im making a discovery trip if at all possible early December.

[@NeonGenesis808]

These wandering videos are always so fun to watch. Appreciate the tip for visiting the Green Lung Bang Krachao in an earlier video, was out there start of the month and got 21miles in on a bike.

[@bentleytoma4217]

9:01 pm Cairns Australia. Just watched my first KZbin of you. Earlier today taking an Uber from my motel to a travel agency. The driver found out I was from Edmonton, Alberta. He said have you heard of Chris Parker? I told him I was going to Bangkok. He said it is a must to watch your KZbin channel. He was right! Hopefully I will see you around.

[@gattibandz2808]

YOU and Mark Wiens are the reason why iam in Thailand now (Samui). I came before Covid hit. Left for two Months and came back. Back then i was on Samui and it was so sad to see all those People struggling. I saw the Video where you Donate Food packages to all those people. This is by far my Favorite Video. Samui is now also my permanent "Home" Thank you Sir!

[@Vandergravel]

Your Thai is getting much better! I have been trying to learn a little before our trip and it is very challenging. Thanks for all the great videos and Teenee!

[@dylanappenfeldt2442]

My daughter went to a preparatory school in Florida great education and $45K per year plus books uniforms etc but I am definitely a proud person for doing what had to be done. She is an only child too.

[@lisaelliott3246]

My daughter is also the only child I have. She had never spent one day in public education from day one up until her college years. She graduated from Oklahoma Christmas University. Then, he went off for her second bachelor's degree at the University of Oklahoma. Lots of money, but she is always graceful for what I had done for her.

[@michaelkivlin464]

Ok I am in scotland and have been watching you on a few occasions, but today was the most interesting one I've seen in ages,keep it up good watching. Even a Scottish guy getting on the barge

[@kubejeeva9904]

Thanks alot Chris. Visiting TH in 2 weeks and you are a great inspiration for this, and all your recommendations are noted and your app is downloaded as a backup. Again thanks alot Chris. -ON, 🇨🇦

[@burnzp]

Chris, I really enjoy the style of video you do which give insight into daily life in Thailand. My wife and I were in Thailand 10 years ago, and we are heading back in December. This time with our kids. Can't wait for them to experience how great Thailand is. Keep up the great videos. Hope to run into you on the street and say hi.

[@jpedmo]

Such a fun and interesting commute! I love Thailand. Great video, as always. Take it easy man!

[@teresap1172]

Great walking vid...thanks for going the extra mile for your viewers.

[@marksoler7338]

❤❤❤ videos like this! Totally brings me back to my own wanderings just a few weeks ago in Bangkok. You expertly bring back that feeling. Yes, I felt more "alive" there (but slowly dying from the air pollution)! Big Smile😂😂😂 -Mark from Santa Barbara

[@VHS_GIS]

ahh Chris!! this video is an instant classic! be well and stay cool brutha 😎

[@พัชรินทร์ศรีวัตร]

Wow !! It's a wonderful and very funny VDO. I 'm glad to see you walk along a small road and soi of Bangkok. I' m Thais but someplace I never see and go it before; you know road and soi more than many Thais ; thank you so much kaa...

[@mallya9424]

Love this video so well done how you always capture the true daily life of what happened in Thailand and when you said how you feel alive and enjoying the moment that is exactly how we feel when we were there two years ago there’s always something going on looking forward to going back very soon

[@KTT_-vw2ur]

Two decades ago, the state of Khlong Saen Saep's water was dire, akin to a river tainted with crude oil. The pollution was so severe that it cast a shadow over the waterway, transforming it into an environmental hazard. The stench emanating from the contaminated water was nothing short of overwhelming, creating an atmosphere of disbelief. At that time, the river's condition underscored the urgent need for environmental intervention and raised concerns about the impact on both aquatic life and the surrounding community. Thankfully, over the years, efforts have been made to address and mitigate the pollution, fostering a gradual improvement in the water quality.

[@user-hc3ce7ye6r]

Hi Chris! Love your videos, both informative and entertaining! A request- when walking past the more reputable money changers, could you show a few seconds of the current exchange rate board? Arriving in March and can’t wait to walk the streets, and jog in Benjakitti and Lumpini at 5am! Who knows, maybe our paths will cross! All the best!

[@johndoyle9695]

[@Hard_7_Iron]

We live in the Philippines about half the year… same response from the locals. Always interested in talking to the foreigner…maybe the only difference is “Hey Joe” 😂.

[@D_R_Martin]

Nice! It was fun to join you on the commute home. My wife's cousin took me on a tour of Bangkok using the various forms of transportation one time. It was a lot of fun, and we got to see so much more than we would have just taking a taxi everywhere.

[@sharonla8071]

I love this kind of video. I've seen all the videos about must see tourist sites and have visited most of them so now I prefer seeing videos about everyday life. It's still my dream to live in Bangkok and wander the streets and parks feeding treats to the cats and taking photos.

[@warrenhogan8786]

Hi Chris , just spent a week in bangkok ,, the trafic on the main roads was so bad I ended up walking most places leaving the motorbike at the hotel which was way better...found the thai people in bangkok so kind and friendly with great food and culture makes it a great place to spend some time...I also saw some things that i found a little upsetting but none of those things involved any thai people and did not detract from my visit although i will stay away from that area when i return for another visit

[@mrtravispickle]

What area?

[@faranglao4988]

This is one of your best- and great to see you’re still excited to be there

[@Kwippy]

We are lucky in Bangkok to have so many good expat teachers. The salaries may not be very much higher than at home but the working conditions are infinitely better than in their home countries. Here they are respected and appreciated, plus they have a great chance of going home alive after each working day.

[@Storocj]

Perfect video Chris! We live in the Satorrn Bang Rak area so it’s a little far from Ekkamai. To keep up, we are looking to enroll in a Thai language class. Thank you for the inspiration. Chris & Faby

[@pietverbeeck8144]

We hang out in this neighborhood every time we're in Bangkok! Great area, remember every step you take.

[@randallvandegraaf1066]

This is another reason I am in this amazing country again. Second time back since we could ❤bkk

I love taking those different commutes in Bangkok and experiencing so much more of that lovely city instead of the crowded middle with all the tourists... Such a joy to watch and cant wait to walk those different paths again in 4 weeks time.. Keep up the good work :)

[@TheMexichingon]

Great Video as always Chris !! the temple's name is Wat Pha Si and the park is Somdet Saranrat Maneeram Public Park ! i just love how friendly the Thai people are and seems you are getting very famous now in Bangkok , even thai people recognizes you !! greetings from Cold Vancouver Canada !!

[@genoeckley3442]

This is a good example of why RW4Y is so good. The team can produce great professional content or Chris Parker can pick up a camera and go old-school vlogging...both are equally good.

Hey Chris I'm a fellow Canadian from Vancouver, almost retired, starting to do research on moving to Thailand. I'm really considering Hua Hin, but I will take a good look at Bangkok, and see if I want to stay in the city or start out somewhere more quiet and laid back; the beach life is my dream.

I do like this kind of lo-fi type of video Chris. It make a nice diversion from other videos you’ve made. Like the disorganized fashion of it all, making it up as you go it seems😊… obviously you’ve planned some of it. But it’s a great way for viewers to get a good feel for the street view of the city.

[@javierencinas7908]
