[@davidnilsson1655]

As a digital nomad i was thinking about trying BKK for 3 months, thanks for this video!

[@ilovecoinz415]

I’m going for one month in April to may for songkran

[@blackauntienokids]

So far, your recommendations have been the best I've seen! With the help of this video, I found a nice hotel (reviews seemed fair) in the downtown area that is well within my budget for my 4-day stay. Thanks!

[@whitneynovela406]

Do you mind sharing the name of the hotel and your experience there? I'm looking for places and it's hard lol.

[@japanesedon.]

@@whitneynovela406I’m having the same experience, do you mind sharing the name of the hotel you stayed at?

[@henrywidjaja4982]

the other Sukhumvit area to stay; Ploenchit, Phrom Phong, Thonglor, for Thai Cuisine; Have a Zeed by Lao at Therminal 21, Ross Niyom restaurant at Central World, Emquartier, Somboon seafood at Ratchada Hwai Khuang (try Crab Mud Curry/ Phu Pad Gaeng)

[@rosstravels.official]

Super super helpful!! I’ll be traveling to Thailand this November (2023) and this helps out a lot! It’s a nice mix of locations that you recommended and I’m not a big partier or anything but also a few nights won’t hurt lol. Loved this video!

[@NickvainUSA]

Perfect video for whoever is traveling to Bangkok for the first time, which is actually my case. Curious on what you think about staying in Thong Lo instead? Thank you for sharing your insights, man.

[@Robert_Berg]

Thong Lo is a great area to stay in, very central spot and plenty of things to do around there. Go for it!

[@pantip57]

Long Ago there was a Travel Agency called Asia Travel which showed you hotels Available by different sections of Bangkok.For those of you who have never been to Bangkok the best choice is to have your hotel pick you up from the Airport especially if you are a woman traveling alone. If you are traveling from the USA you won’t arrive until 11 pm. The airport is quite a distance from Bangkok. Your hotel wants your money. They will have a sign with your name on it as you emerge from immigration. My wife was born in Thailand and this is the method she prefers for personal safety.

[@BeeBig3017]

At the airport there is an airport skytrain connecting to the city. Affordable and safe

[@pixiebomb28]

I'm thinking of visiting for my first travel next year, thanks for the video!

[@lenseofficial]

[@laisonalbarado]

Thanks for content. Right now I am in Pattaya but I will be going to Bangkok for an extended stay. Siam and Sukhumvit (soi 23) are the 2 areas I concentrating on

[@victorgans851]

That was very helpful and informative.....I'm planning a trip to Bangkok...this area looks great 👍 thanks so much 🙏

[@worigami]

We've just come back from Thailand, we spent around 7 days in Bangkok either side of trips to Hanoi and Phuket. We originally looked at Sukhumvit but ended up staying close to Khao San Road. I'm glad we did as there seemed to be more tailored to what we were looking for. We visited Sukhumvit and whilst there were plenty of bars, it had more of a built-up city feel. We are in our 50's and certainly not party animals, the Khao San Road area appeals to all and there are more upmarket hotels if you're not a backpacker. We stayed at the Dewan, a nice hotel with a good pool, 1 min to to Khao San Road and depending on where your room is, reasonably quiet at night. There are decent options a little further away and on the river should you like a little more peace and quiet. We were close to bars and nightlife and walking distance to the river for easy access to attractions, temples, China town and transport links. The metered taxis and Grab options are pretty cheap should you wish to use that option to get to railway stations or other parts of the city.

best area to stay in BKK is from soi 22 and across Sukhumvit road upto soi 59, many bars and restaurants and hotel options, soi 22 itself is a microcosim of restaurant and hotel options , its about 1km long

[@CowboysKeith]

Will you explain what soi 22 and soi 59 mean for my American Googling self? What should I put in maps to find the area that you are talking about? Thanks.

[@gordon3063]

its in the area of Sukhumvit and the street (soi) number

[@1bluensx]

Great and informative video. But….your prices are waaaaaay off. As an avid Marriott traveler, I’ve stayed in each property that Marriott owns in BKK, the average is closer to $200usd a night. I’ve been there 23 times over the past 18 years. Never below 161 a night

[@Robert_Berg]

Thank you! Mariott is a very exclusive hotel and is definitely on the pricier side. There’s plenty of mid-tier hotels in Sukhumvit that’s more affordable. However, they of course don’t offer the same standard as a 5-star hotel like Mariott.

[@GreggAnderson-v3c]

[@armyguytravels]

what was the name of the hotel with the pool in sukhumvit? thank you in advance!

[@drr229]

Great video. Ive got a two night stop over in Bangkok next. Woyid you recommend Khao san road or Patpong. Flying in to BKK thanks

[@Robert_Berg]

Depends on what you value the most. Khao San Road better for temples and I guess party if you’re a bit younger whilst Patpong is located closer to the city centre with better skytrain/Metro access, closer to and from the airport etc. Patpong is also known for its nightlife but I’ve never been there since its.. well.. not my type of entertainment lol.

[@Ash-jt6sl]

Which city would be closer to suvarnabhumi airport

[@CaptureJoseph]

I prefer to stay around Chatuchak. Sukhumvit is a busy and seedy. Chatuchak market and park, plus the cool areas of Ari, saphan khwai, and all the malls in Ladprao all make for a more relaxed Bangkok experience

[@Sooksookehhhhh]

Thus video is for first timers. First timers need to stay in the city center to save time. Suk is actually not that busy and only Nana area is seedy.

Not constantly but you can expect regular afternoon downpours. They’re usually pretty short-lived. Visiting in June can still be a great experience, especially if you’re prepared for the weather and want to avoid peak season crowds.

[@sampokaim3679]

Hi , can anyone recommend what hotel is good after I arrive in Bangkok for 2 days? I’m coming the first week of november ?

[@alviislam4412]

Would you preefeere sukhumvisit or siam/asok for first time travellers so that its eeasy to navigate around and use trains to go to and from airport directly?

[@Robert_Berg]

I think both Siam and Asok are great areas for first time travelers, you’ll be fine either way. Those areas are pretty much as central as you can get in Bangkok which makes it a great base to explore the city. You can take the Airport Rail Link from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Phaya Thai and from there transfer to the BTS (skytrain) which is 2 stops away from the Siam Station and 6 stops away from the Asok Station. Personally, I always take a taxi from the airport since it’s very affordable.

[@alviislam4412]

@@Robert_Berg Do you use grab and how much is it usually to and from siam/sukhumvit areas to the airport?

I use both Grab and Bolt and I usually pay around 400-500 baht for a one way trip

[@yepthatsme83]

Awesome vid! I am staying one night arriving to BKK at 9am and then departing from DMK at 5pm next day. I definitely wanna see the temples, khao san, jim thomson and other famous areas of Bangkok. Have a higher budget but more than the budget, I just really wanna stay somewhere convenient to move around. Would you still recommend Sukhumvit for one night stays?

[@Robert_Berg]

If you really want to visit Khao San Road and see the temples then staying around the Khao San Road area wouldn't be too bad of an idea. Most of the famous temples are in around that area and then you have Iconsiam not too far away if you're into shopping and you're not very far from Chinatown either. I guess it depends on what you prioritize! However, you can never go wrong with Sukhumvit if you're not quite sure about your decision.

[@chanansarakijjapool8105]

Take a look around BTS Rachathewi station (one station away from Siam). There is a mosque at Petburi soi 5 (or 7) and lot of street food in both sois. There are also a lot of apartments and condominiums for rent in that area. The rent could be around 5000-8000THB or more for an apartment. The condominium could be around 20K++

For the language barrier how big is it please? Although my uni is thought In English and has a lot of foreign students I could associate with but I wanna be able to experience Thai land and it’s culture as well as mingle with the locals

[@Robert_Berg]

Generally, the younger generation are more fluent in english compared to the older one but at the end of the day, it really depends from person to person. I’ve met people my age that speaks great english but I’ve also met people, again, my age, who barely spoke a word of english. Usually they’re pretty decent at english if they live/work in or close to the city centre (eg. Sukhumvit) since they speak english a lot there because of the tourists. Uni students in Bangkok seems to speak somewhat decent english in general.
