My first visit to Bangkok was in 1966, R&R from the Vietnam War. About the Rex Hotel bit: My first wife and I were married in Bangkok on October 17, 1969. Our wedding reception was at the Rex Hotel on the pool and party floor. (If I knew how to do it, I'd post a photo or two of our reception.) She was Thai of course and I was stationed at Camp Friendship up near Khorat. We were married for 43 years, until she passed away in 2012. Over the years since our wedding, we visited Thailand probably 20 times, including once for my brother's wedding to a Thai lady up in Nong Khai. My mother especially liked to visit and she went with us at least 8 times over the years. Our son has moved back to Bangkok several years ago. That bit of the hotel in this video brought back memories of "long ago and far away". Thank you.

[@BangkokPat]

Thanks Lloyd, glad it brought back nostalgic memories for you, over 50yrs ago!

Pat. you are by far the best Thailand/ Bangkok youtuber. Your work is consistantly outstanding. Unique, interesting, passionate and captivating. I really apprectiate the effort you put into these videos. Thanks for sharing your personal knowledge and history of Bangkok along with your well researched history of this incredible city. I learn so much about Bangkok from you. Thanks for including some gay bangkok history on your channel ...I had a good laugh thinking about Babylons HiSo neighbours hearing Bronksi Beat and The Communards on heavy rotation every weekend and a soi full of muscle Marys on Songkran! Happy days!

I first went to Bangkok in 1988. It has changed so much. Too much gentrification destroys a city's heart and history.

The old wooden houses are beautiful. So sad that all this lovely heritage is being ripped out to build yet another condo. Unfortunately money talks and corrupt money even louder.

OMG 😱 Don’t vanish Pat! I’ve enjoyed your channel about Bangkok’s social and it’s history too much. You’re the foremost expert on the subject.

[@BangkokPat]

Thanks a lot! I don't think anyone is doing anything whatsoever about the city other than the usual places and food

[@JohnMitch]

I could not agree more with your comment, however back then with no BTS or Metro it took forever to get from point A to Point B

[@berttkltan]

BKK is getting soulless without those interesting old buildings with unique characters, lots of places been replaced by the modern skyscrapers. Miss those laid-back era.

[@Toro_Da_Corsa]

Yeah. But doesn't the good stuff just get shuffled along to less developed areas ? Some of the night markets do. But I don't know about anything else.

[@BrianBaileyedtech]

I loved this. Had my first trip to Bangkok in 2009 and even in just 14 years, the city has changed immensely.

[@BangkokPat]

I would love to find a timelapse of the skyline over the last 20yrs!

I wish I could come and see it 20 years ago.

[@tg916.th.21]

Brilliant video, as a Thai myself, I had no idea many of these places existed! It brings back a lot of memories of when I was a little boy in BKK. I hate that so many beautiful places are being demolished in favour of flashy condos.

I first stayed in the Federal Hotel in March of 1992. It was and will always remain like a second home to me. The location was ideal and the staff are still my friends to this day. Such a loss to Soi 11 and the many people how loved that hotel.

[@BangkokPat]

Federal was obviously very popular here, many suggestions and comnents. Loads of great stories too 😎😻

[@TheSwede70]

Loved this episode. 30 plus visits to Bangkok starting in 1991. A few nights at the Federal was always exciting. The food, the staff and the location was great. Great place to meet new people in the restaurant/coffee shop.

[@jenvan8799]

Travelled to Bangkok possibly 15 times over 20 years and I’m picking up a lot of valuable history and places to explore / visit on our next trip early in the new year thanks to this channel. Very much appreciated. Thanks BKK Pat.

I rarely comment, but this video series is absolutely amazing. I started traveling to Bangkok in February 2011 and spent hours walking around. Moved there from October 2018 to July 2023 and man it brings some memories, now I'm in Phuket for a lung cleaning therapy lol. Thank you Pat. Sincerely. it's a thank you from the heart, not just saying it. Please don't vanish, I need part4 😀 Have a lovely day good sir !

Those beds in the Federal took some hammering during the Vietnam war! Mattress salesman's delight! Good Vlog Pat.

[@BangkokPat]

I bet they took a good hammering, the hangovers must have felt like a hammering too!

My first visit to Bangkok was in 2015. I appreciate seeing the old neighborhoods and businesses.Bangkok is becoming my 2nd City but I can imagine it was fascinating place before the turn of the Century.None the less it is still a unique City.

[@frankoseven]

As always an interesting video about the past in Bangkok. My first visit in Bangkok was in 2011 and I remember my time in the Bed-Supper Club in Soi 11. Since them this street changes his face nearly completely. Kind of sad. Good video, Pat👍

[@BangkokPat]

Soi 11 had a great past but there still a couple of drcent places to eat. Too many touts though.

[@TeresitaPadilla-y9k]

I’m so glad to have come across your channel (all by chance!) and have signed up immediately as a subscriber. I lived and worked in Bangkok from 1969 for over 30 years for different entities, the first one being Mater Dei School in Ploenchitr and the last the Asian Institute of Technology in Pathum Thani. Your vanishing Bangkok series surely filled me with nostalgia. I have retired in my home country, the Philippines, and continue to visit and revisit Thailand. It was a sad day when I surrendered my Resident certificates/documents to the Immigration Office and said goodbye to Thailand, my second home for so many years - in fact all my professional life. Thanks for your vlogs. I shall look forward to more in the future, and will recommend your channel to my Filipino friends and colleagues who like me have very fond memories of Thailand, the Thai people, Thai cuisine and everything Thai.

[@scottDchicago]

The music track at 2:06 perfectly captures the essence of this scene and overall episode! Awesome episode!

[@BangkokPat]

Had to find something a bit sad for all those who miss it!

[@scottDchicago]

Thanks for the personal touch caption at 5:15! The Royal Orchid Sheraton (Riverside) has an awesome breakfast buffet, great swimming pools, and a magnificent river view. We’ve enjoyed stays there in December of 2022, July of 2023, and back in August of 2017. The ICONSIAM is located across the river. I need to emphasize just how awesome their buffet breakfast is! Excellent quality and extensive variety of food offerings. My father has also enjoyed about fifteen stays at the Sheraton dating back to the 1980’s!

[@BangkokPat]

I had to mention that Scott as you're almost a regular there and we've become friends. Shame that House no1 is only open for private stuff, but it's a lovely area. I am planning a proper video on that area, aka The creative district.....

Great work as usual Pat. The Federal Hotel was the first hotel I stayed at in Bangkok in 1996. Down Soi 11 towards Sukhumvit was a resturant called Pinochio's. It was the best Italian food I have ever had anywhere. It was a 13 or 15 course meal, no menu for 500 baht.

If condos distroy clubs, may be we need a law that they have to give space to the clubs below one of their car park decks. 14.13 ... that old building in royal hands looks like indiana jones or Lara Croft 23:48 ... the bonus shot shows how much more space there was in that time and trees and air and how better the car design was. Looks so clean and beautiful. Lookinf forward to the next episode very much

[@seanbunzick7357]

The Federal Hotel is where I first stayed in Bangkok in 1987 when I was a mere 23 years old and what an experience THAT was for a First-Timer like myself! Still, I DID have a wonderful time there and the service was great. I went back there in 1988 and it was fully-booked so I ended up at the Sukhumvit Crown Hotel which has become my HQ in Bangkok when I'm down from Chiang Mai to visit. The Crown is now called SI 6 but otherwise, it's about the same and I'm always happy to visit it. Thanks for another great video, Pat--brings back many-a-memory! 🙂

[@BangkokPat]

Glad to hear it Sean, many had such nice memories of the Federal, no wonder so many suggested it!

[@mfj2648]

Great report Pat. Around 1 year ago or more, I asked you to do a report on what happened to Soi Twilight. I am so happy to see that you finally did it, and you gave us a bonus extra piece about what happened to the famous Babylon. All the best Pat - I truly enjoy your KZbin channel.

[@BangkokPat]

Yes, I always had it in mind to cover Soi Twilight at some point, after you mentioned it and then a few others, then someone said ''What about Babylon?" and I realised they weren't that far apart in terms of distance and when they closed.

Hey Pat...I lived in Bkk 2005-2014. Some of the places featured in.this vlog I remember seeing or used to go to such as Thonglor soi.38 food stalls, the Coliseum where I was given a shoulder massage while taking a piss. This past weekend my family and I.were staying in Bangna and I.started filming all.the condo crap going up and displacing old neighborhoods and houses. Was planning to feature the rampent development taking over in Bkk then I watched your vlog. Always interesting and informative. Next month my wife will start her new job in Bkk so we'll be Bangkokians again. But we're not giving up our other home down south near the beach. Hope we can meet up one of these days in the Big Mango. Fyi..we had the same happy weed seller Queens Park Hotel back in the day...cheers!

extremely interesting videos. I personally love the different eras of buildings in bangkok and I'm just a fan of urban decay and history in general. I used to frequent Bangkok 23 years ago but these days next to the beach in rural south Thailand. Its rather sad to see certain areas erased by "progress". I heard the Lido and Scala are no more? Loved those cinemas. I'll definately check out the indian area. I had no idea. Thought Parhurat was the only one. Cheers

[@StagAtLarge]

The Federal Hotel was the first hotel I ever stayed at in Bangkok, June 1980. If I'm not mistaken, there was a "Mister Doughnut" up on Sukhumvit and a small go-go bar at Soi 11. I was never able to stay there again as it was always full. My go-to hotel became the Crown, on Soi 29. Bring back the good old days!

[@christianguitard3932]

Hi Pat, I used to stay at the Rex evry year from 1998 till its closure. The rooms were old but great, spacious, some of the aircons a bit of a lottery. Bathrooms had bath thubs and powerful showers. Big bed with great hard mattresses (Darling brand), fantastic sleep for my bad back. The staff had been there for years and most were very friendly from the door guys, reception staff, cleaners to the old manager . The breafast was really good at the Rexa 24 hours coffee shop where I used to get my "poat eg" (poached eggs) , bacon just the way I liked it by the old lady who also was working there all that time. Used to be 1000-1200 baht a night. I miss it very much, every time greeted like an old friend. Luckily, I found another good place but I am keeping that one to myself, selfish I know, but I dont want it to be spolied (:>)))). When I used to stay a few omths in Bangkok, I stated in AA House Soi 36, cheap and chearful, 6000/months but great staff again, good coffee shop ( friendly lady cook with 6 fingers hands and the cat also had 6/7 fingers paws, no kidding), laundry and a shop where you could get most daily necessities. Also moto taxis just outside, very conveniant for Thonglor BTS and many shops too, Tesco and BigC on Rama4, Emporium at Soi24, etc. Not sure if AA House still there...Cheers.

I fell into the Rex at midnight once in 2008 when l was too lazy to go all the way home, too drunk and taxis refused me. I remember it was a bit worn out and on the ground floor.
