Rarely Seen BANGKOK FOOD MARKETS / Samrong Temple / Hidden Gems 🇹🇭 Was I Wrong?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- Woke up today and decided to explore the rarely seen Bangkok Samrong street food markets, an amazing temple and whatever other hidden gems I could find near the Samrong BTS stop. This was a great little area with lots of markets, an animal themed temple, a huge shoppng mall and more. Yes, there will be street food, as always! There are some great little hidden gems in the Samrong area. Was I wrong to go to Samrong? Join me for another day of exploring Bangkok, Thailand.
I recently moved to Thailand and am beginning to roam the country while documenting my travels here on UA-cam. Join me for my assorted adventures in the many different regions of Thailand.

11.49 This is a Kawasaki Serpico 150. It was first launched in Thailand in 1993.
Wow! Thank you so much for all of that information, I really appreciate it.
WHOA!! It takes so much effort to give full details like this. Epic!👍👍
Very impressive translation and knowledge here
Hi Serg, the statue was not a black buddha, actually it was a black monk. Luang Phor Thuad, the famous Thai monk
Luang Phor Thuad, whose name is sometimes spelled Luang Phor Thuat, lived some 400 years ago in Southern Thailand. He is now famous all over the country for the miracles that he performed. It was said that Luang Phor Thuad turned salt water into fresh, drinkable water on multiple occasions. Near Hua Hin you can find a huge temple complex named Wat Huay Mongkol which is dedicated to this monk.
Ahhh! Thank you so much for correcting me. I was kind of wondering that it didn’t look like a Buddha at all, and I kind of figured that it probably was a monk as well. I really appreciate you giving me all of that information. From time to time, I make mistakes in my videos because Google is not always good at translating things.
Serg, you should do a video on your daily routine in Bangkok. Most of us here, are so sick of the 9-5, and get a bit of pleasure watching you do something we wish we could do, but for life reasons are still stuck to the mill stone.
An honest walk through of what it’s like “a day in life” of Serg in Bangkok.
That is absolutely in the works. I will do one of those within the next week
Hey, I resemble that remark. Lol
Cool idea A Long!👍
5:20 Jackfruit
6:36 Rambutan (not mangosteen)
I believe the meat balls in your boat noodle were made of pork as they were supposed to better match with the pieces of meat there which, I believe, were blanched or stewed pork.
I love your videos as I always do. 😘
Ahhh Rambutan! So close, lol. I will always manage to mess something up, I don’t mind. Thanks so much for the corrections and your support!
Less foreigners know about the Mine Smart Ferry that ride along the river and it’s dream taxi ferry coz it’s clean energy and have air conditioners, this may be your next content to introduce it with how to get it and the schedule detail
It’s funny you say this, because that ferry has been on my list of videos to make. I will get to it.
The big spiky green things you were unsure about were jack fruit. They are kinda of crunchy, not too sweet, and definitely an acquired taste. I personally like it a lot.
I realize that later when I looked it up online. I will definitely have to try some.
Serg, just out of curiosity, in your next video, would you please add the information on the distance you usually walk everyday? It seems your daily walk easily exceed 40km.
I love the way you make your videos. I watch you and listen to you while I pay attention to the people, the streets and all the places you pass by. It feels like I am really walking along the streets.
Thank you for bringing so much joy and fun to us.
Wow, I’d be so dead if I walked 40km. I average abut 8km a day, in general. A day that I big videos like this, it’s usually closer to 13 km. It’s not so much the distance for me, it’s the humidity that wipes me out.
I need to include a little bit more footage, or B roll as it’s called, while I’m transitioning from one place to another. I keep thinking people find it boring but I think people want to see it to feel like they are there with me.
Nice video! I go to Bangkok at least once or twice a year and have a place to stay in Samrong. Riding the BTS a few stops and you're in Asok and downtown. Hopefully the rain season blows over when I go in November. Keep posting!
The rainy season is in full effect. Will be done by November I think.
▪︎ 9:03 It seems to be park's liver.🤤😋
▪︎ You are more than youtuber. You are an adventurer. 😅😂🤣
I just left to go and explore random things. I’m glad you enjoyed it. And yes, I thought that was liver as well.
when i see your videos, you bring me happiness. I dont have friends and so, thank you for helping me not feel lonely anymore.
I am so very happy that you enjoyed my videos and that they make you feel better. You are not alone. You are with me in each of my videos. See you soon!
Happy 12k subs congratulations
Thank you Jennie! We are on our way to a million. Lmao. 😜👋
Good job , thank you for Sharing
Glad you enjoyed this video Jack.
you exploring and learning so much
I try to explore new areas at least two or three times a week. In July I will leave Bangkok and explore other parts of Thailand.
👋 Hi, it’s 36 here yesterday too but dry heat. I saw those Giant Jackfruits ( looking like Durian), here in Asian market. I like the idea of taking us around the city on public ride instead of Uber or taxi.
Hi Sheila! I’m still trying to get used to the heat and humidity. It’s really the humidity that’s the energy drainer. The taxis here are extremely cheap, but I live less than five minutes walk from both the sky train and the underground. They are very convenient to use. Although, it’s definitely cheaper for two people to get a taxi then to go onto the public transportation like that. Unfortunately, the traffic on the surface streets here in Bangkok is so horrible that there’s been times when I’ve been able to walk faster than I could’ve held a taxi when it was less than 2 km away.
Can't wait to watch your motorbike tour series. My suggestion as a local is to roam around Petchabun and Loei provinces, hilly routes with such incredible views 👍
Keywords to begin with:
- Khao Kho
- Wat Phrathat Pha Sorn Kaew
- Phu Thap Boek
- Phu Ruea
- Huai Tong Bridge
- Route 2016
My original plan was to go to Chiang Mai and spend a week there checking it out. Then from there go do the Mae Hon Son loop. Of course I feel like I can just get on a bike and go anywhere. I know with the way I like to explore, I will find interesting things.
Thanks for sharing your amazing video and good luck for everything 🙏😀
Thank you very much for your support.
2:48 Chow For Tap Shrine
Chao Pho Thap Shrine is a sacred shrine that has been revered by Samrong people for a long time. Every year there will be a parade, festival and celebration.
4:19 Luang Pu Thuat
Luang Pu Thuat is known by all Thai people in every Province. "Pu", meaning "grandfather". Luang Pu Thuat was a real person, he really existed. He was born about 400 years ago. He is a revered Buddhist monk who lived in Siam. He is said to have performed miracles.
Excellent video Serg! Sarong market is one of my favorite market in Bangkok. They have got everything. As always your video was so interesting and fun !!!
Thank you so much for sharing that information. I kind of had a feeling that the statue was a monk and not a Buddha. That’s very interesting to learn about him. Many others have shared information about the things he did.
I was really astounded at the size of that market. I’ll have to come back sometime at night just to see it in action.
Nice video! Another area I’ve never been to. Thanks for going to the non touristy areas
I’m glad you enjoy them. They’re not always glamorous areas, but I really enjoy going into the smaller neighborhoods. Today I went to another area that I really enjoyed. I’ll make a video about that next week. I need to do something a little bit different for next video. Have some ideas, stay tuned.
Thanks for the beautiful walking Video. Bangkok is really an interesting city.
Yeah I think you’ll get everywhere tasty food.
There’s so many fun places to explore. I’m really enjoying finding the more hidden areas in the city.
@@LifewithSerg Yeah that’s true. By the locals you’ll find the true life. I like that too.
The animal pictures at the Shrine represent asterism years. 😉
Ahhhh. Ok thanks! I knew someone would know.
That imperial mall is the oldest mall in Samrong area (at least 40 years), guessed it was take over by Big C. About the bike, you can consult Micky. He's good at that.
Thanks for that information. Yes I’ve chatted with Mickey several times. He has been very helpful.
Another great vlog, clicked thumbs up again love your videos...matt from scottsdale
Thanks Matt, I’m always happy to know people enjoy watching me get lost and ramble. Lol. Take care!
I grew up in that area. The place to catch the bus, get some dinner, shopping with friends before heading home from school. No BTS back then...what a big change has come.
Isn’t it always amazing to go back to neighborhoods you grew up in. Every time I would do that I would always notice all the things that have changed.
Fun video!
Glad you liked it Brian! I actually went out today and made a similar video about another less or known area. I’m going to hold onto that one and release something different next.
Hi Serg while looking for a cooling place at Imperial World shopping center, you missed the ice rink on the top floor 😊
There are so many places, I can’t find them all. Thank you for letting me know. I will definitely take a look next time I’m there.
Youre my favorite Thailand UA-camr brother. As a fellow Californian, we share the same kind of personality and interests. I can see the effort you put in to show us your adventures there (not just your sweaty shirts) lol. That spice tolerance level is weak though ;-). As soon as Im done raising my kids I'll be there with ya! Keep it up brother!
Thank you, I really appreciate the warm sentiment. I’ll be sure to bring you many more sweaty shirt adventures. Lol. I don’t know man, that five chili dish at that restaurant was just too much for me. 😜
love your video
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it. New one coming out tonight
I like videos like this. Bring us along wherever you go. As for Lom Phor Thuat, we pray to him to help smoothen obstacles in our lives. And totally agreed on having a real good helmet and protective gears. If only I can afford the Can Am Spyder.
I’m glad you enjoy my exploration videos Bob. The Can-Am spider is an interesting vehicle. I’ve never ridden any of these three wheelers but they look quite fun.
Thumbs Up 👍
Thanks!
Hi Serg 😊 I watched this this morning while having breakfast in bed, I didn’t want to get up because it was -5 deg celcius (23F) and everything was white outside lol. Good old lower South Island New Zealand. Enjoy your warmth and thanks for another day out exploring!!
Wow. I seriously had NO idea that it gets that cold in NZ! Since I am now much closer to both New Zealand and Australia than I was in the US, I really wanna go visit.
It gets colder than that 😂 especially in the south. I’m about a 2 hour drive from Queenstown, have a look at there on google, very popular with tourists and skiers/snowboarders.
Yeah, I don’t know why I keep forgetting that it snows there. I think even after three months of living in Thailand, going to the cold climates gonna be a bit of a shock. I actually got rid of all my warm clothes. All I have left now is a long sleeve shirt and a hoodie. Lol
Walking from Samrong to Bearing is something else, especially on a hot day
Yah, I walked 13km that day. It really wiped me out. I usually do quite a bit of walking when I’m making these videos. I really enjoy it, but the heat and humidity take their toll.
Thump up for nice clip
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Ok, thoroughly impressed with your bravery. Getting lost in Asia is …I have no words. I contacted a travel agency and had a sample itinerary for a 3 week stay, but it had nothing like what I see in your videos. So I kinda halted everything, I also made a big mistake, I told people at work I was going to Thailand. As expected, not one positive comment. Even my closest friends, who have never gone anywhere in Asia cautioned me about all the dangers. Ugh. Love your videos!
Yeah, I tend not to listen to people when they have no experience in the subject matter they’re talking about. I’ve had several negative comments like that for people who have never steped foot in Thailand.
I actually met one of my subscribers here about a month and a half ago. She was an American woman who was in her mid-60s. She has spent the last six months traveling the world alone. I was blown away by her bravery. She was a normal person, like you and me. I was blown away by her desire to travel and see things. She had been to so many different places on her own!
Hi Serg great video. Maybe next time jump on a number 2 bus from Nana or Askoke ( 8 baht all the way)and just people watch and check out the various neighbourhoods on the way to Samrong. It's not aircon like the number40 blue bus but you really get to see real thai life as you pass . Give it a go mate 👍
Ahh yeah I need to try that bus!
Check out any bus stop to see which ones go but the 2 and 40 and 511 will do but if going the other way use a number 2 with blue sign not yellow on the front or you will end up on the flyover and going away from Asoke.
If you want to support me, a like or a comment on this video would really be appreciated.

G’day mate, you may have discussed this in your earlier vids, but do you mind if I ask what type of visa you have? How long can you stay in thailand? Thanks, mate
Visas are quite different for each situation, so I don’t get into that topic. I am on a long stay visa. For long term stays, there are many options. I suggest you Google visas and you will see all the options. Thanks for watching.
Samrong is a good area for long term expats.
Only 23 minutes from Asok on the BTS and good cheap condos, mall , market etc.
That area definitely had quite a bit going for it. If you don’t need to be near the Asok area, I think it’s a really good place to live. I’m really curious with some of the condo rental prices are down there.
Hi Serg, We're your big fans for a while. Subscribed both on TV and laptop. We're at ME!! not TX like you were :P Would you like to go to the Phuket or some beautiful beaches at South? :)
I should be leaving Bangkok in about two weeks to go explore some other areas. I’m glad you are enjoying my videos. Thanks for your support!
Very nice video, you hit a lot of neat spots, great food and the best narration. The soup is pork and you nailed the organ meats. They have a few nice thai phrases to request no organ meat. Also, for 30 it's Sam Sip, like. you sip a tea. Sam Sip :). One more pro tip, throw a face towel in your camera bag. A real towel dries fast, removes the lovely sweat itch and will last all day. Also, forget about toilet paper. 5 years without it, it's a better life. Here toilet paper is for restaurants :)
Yeah, I realized I miss pronounced it. I’m working on my Thai skills, but a lot slower than I would like. I typically don’t bring a camera bag with me. I film everything on my iPhone 13 Pro Max with a small handheld tripod. I just use some cargo shorts and stuff my pockets with a few small things. Whenever possible, I try to travel as late as I can get away with.
The fresh market you stumbled upon in Samrong District is one of the few very large fresh foods market in BKK. These markets are a favorite of restaurant owners. As for that noodle dish, I'm pretty sure its the ever popular Boat Noodle with blood broth. Boat Noodles are delicious in both beef and pork versions. I usually eat the pork version, but I ate beef much more a few years back and I do think the beef version tastes better to me. But that's if you like beef though, as many people in the country do not eat beef for religious reasons. I'm really looking forward to watching your motorcycle trip around the country. Regarding long trips and motorcycles, I would prefer a heavier bike. I use to ride a motorcycle in BKK for a few years as traffic is incredible as you probably already know. My choice was a Honda NSR 150 or it's equivalent to the CBR 150 today. It's got clutches and I think it is much better than automatic bikes when you need the speed quickly. Anyway, too much rambling on on my part. Have a great trip!!!
Yeah I’m sure this had blood in it, but I couldn’t taste it so I really enjoyed it.
As for the motorbike tours, I’m really looking forward to those. I want quite a few motorcycles including a couple of the BMW R 1200 GS adventure bikes, a Ducati Hyper Motard SP, and several Honda 600cc sport bikes. I also owned three of the Honda Grom, I believe they’re known as the MSX here in Bangkok. Definitely one of the funnest little bikes I’ve ever ridden. As much as I love the fast powerful machines, I prefer something a little bit slower in this country. The slower I go, the less likely I will be to sustain major injuries in the event of an accident. I also like the idea of an automatic motorbike so I can shoot video while I ride. I’m not going to buy one, I’m just going to rent small motorbikes. The tours will not start in Bangkok, because that would be just too long of a ride. I’m going to either fly or take a train or a bus to wherever I’m going and then start the tour from there.
Your choice of music in the temple scene is soooo good!
2:40 The 12 Chinese zodiac years of birth. The banner is for people who were born in the year opposite the current year = bad luck year.
Such as this year is TIGER YEAR. Opposite Tiger is Monkey year. If you were born in the Monkey year you can have the “cleansing ritual” in this temple to get rid of this year bad luck.
Glad you enjoyed my music choice. As for the animals, I don’t know what I was thinking. I’ve been to Chinese temples before both in Hong Kong and mainland China. I think the heat just got to me that day.
Oh the Yamaha Aero is a GREAT choice for several reasons, but the bit one is you have actual real road tires that won't go flat every other day. (See Patty Doyles recent video in VN for an example or about 30 percent of his other videos)
Well I’ve owned, and ridden, many much larger motorcycles, I’m not in a big hurry here and the slower I go the less likely I am to have a major accident. It would be really cool if I could find a 250cc dual sport. I’m sure somebody makes one here. GPX or Royal Enfield does, as far as I know.
@@LifewithSerg Totally agree, just please keep the emphasis on the non-scooter tires and you'll be fine in my opinion. :) In your BKK market down there, loads on FB Marketplace and around. Just screencap the initial price and have it handy in case they raise it when they talk to an American guy :)
Oh sorry, I have no desire to buy one, I’m just going to rent one when I arrive at the starting location. I appreciate all of your suggestions!
Go to Pak Nam station, you will be at Chao Praya estuary. Very nice there..
Oh nice! I just made a video the other day using the MRT. Found another interesting area. Then again, every area is interesting to me because it’s all something different. Lol.
@@LifewithSerg or you may go to Kheha BTS station and take a taxi to Bangpu Recreation Center you will be see Gulf of Thailand. The BTS can take you to the sea. 👍
Yes I have that planned as well. I definitely want to go see the ancient city also.
It was written
Chanting lyrics for abbot - who turn seawater to fresh water
Then the lyrics in Sanskrit
Ahhhh ok. Thank you!
Looks like its your hottest day ever in Thailand, all sweating when you have noodles. Great vid again!
Definitely was! It was 98° that day. Extremely hot. I really need to go and buy a bunch of black T-shirts. There’s just no way not to sweat here. At least for me. 😜
Samsong is not in Bangkok but it is in Samut prakarn province. Samut prakarn province is the industrial area .
Yep, thanks.
Samrong is Samutprakarn province. BTS Bangna is last station of Bangkok then next others station is Samutprakarn province.
So my title and thumbnail are “wrong”. Lmao. Too funny. 🤣
I love imperial, minimal with Turist’s
Yes. Vey true!
คีบเส้นก๋วยเตี๋ยวใส่ช้อน แล้วกิน คุณกำลังกินแบบคนไทยหลายๆคน 😁
Yes I have learned. 555
Serg, was the A/C in the enclosed mall good?
Yes, the AC in all the malls is excellent. There are also very many enclosed restaurants that have air conditioning.
The animal pictures at the temple represent the Chinese zodiac. It is a traditional scheme base on the lunar calendar,each animal attributes to each year in a repeating 12 year cycle. Originated in China and spreading to south east Asian.
This year is a year of Tiger. Not every temple having that kind of zodiac pictures,just only Chinese-buddism influenced temple.
I actually know that. I think the sun just bake my brain that day and I couldn’t remember that information. 🤣 I need to be a little careful out in the heat.
6:37 video mark: those fruits are actually Rambutan
Yes, turns out I was wrong. Lmao.
@@LifewithSerg that’s okay. Rambutans and Mangosteens are both very delicious (Aroi mak 😋)
Hi, Serg enjoyed your video. Time to buy a hat that sun beating down on your head is not good. take care GOD Bless you and yours. m
Yes, I have three hats at home. I really should wear one of them once in a while.
ศาลเจ้าพ่อเสือ สวยครับ ใกล้ๆบ้านผมเลย แต่ทุกวันนี้อยู่ สกลนคร ครับ เที่ยวไทยให้สนุกครับ อย่าลืมมาเที่ยวสกลนคร นะครับ k.Serg
It was a really cool area. I have the most fun exploring hidden areas. I found some more fun stuff today. That will be in a future video.
@@LifewithSerg Awesome
Actually, at 4:15 the translation is quite accurate :p
Ah ok. Thanks!
Enjoyed the video as usual Serg so thank you. I have started following you since your move as I too am making the move to Thailand. In fact I am here now for my planning. I do not believe you have done a vlog on your condo experience, location and costs , if you have then I would appreciate the vlog number. I also follow Live Love Thailand and did see he recommended Soi 71 Nest appartments, which look great but I would value your experience also. Much appreciated
I have not done a condo tour. I can tell you that I live in a luxury high-rise in a very popular area. and including food, phone, rent, and all, my total expenses comes in at $2000 a month. I rarely drink alcohol so that’s one of the reasons my budget is so low. That building is pretty far from the BTS skytrain. Try to find something near the sky train. Or some kind of public transportation. My best advice to you is come here and rent something for a month and then go around and look at other areas. My Instagram username is in the description of this video, feel free to reach out with questions.
@@LifewithSerg thank you for the quick reply and advice much appreciated
Hi Serg! Congratulations, you’ve eaten boat noodle soup with blood in the broth! I bet you didn’t even noticed it. The blood makes the broth dark and rich. Most people are turned off by the idea of blood in the broth but when they try it, they never notice the blood.
I don’t think these had blood in the broth. When I first got them I even said on camera that I thought it had blood. But I cut that part out because it didn’t look like it did. Do you think it had blood in there? If it did, I loved the taste of it.
@@LifewithSerg Yes, boat noodle soup always has blood in it, or else, it isn't a boat noodle soup. The broth was a dark brown which is indicative of blood in the broth. I've commented in your past vlogs about blood in the boat noodle soup and I did mention that you won't notice it in the broth. I order boat noodle here in SoCal all the time and I can never taste the blood. It makes the broth rich and so tasty! You should go BOAT NOODLE ALLEY at Victory Monument in Bangkok. It's a food market where there are several boat noodle vendors. The portions are very small so most customers would buy 5-10 bowls of boat noodles. Back in 2015, each bowl cost about 10-15 baht. You should check it out!
I will definitely go do that, thanks for the tip. OK, good to know that it was blood and that I didn’t mind it at all.
👍👍👍😊😊😊
🙏😊👋
Being 30 Baht !!!, very cheap, in an inflation situation nowadays. 😱
It was quite delicious. Of course the one I had was 30 Baht. But The Original Thai Noodle Shop, located next to Lotus in front of the On Nut BTS, also has boat noodles for 20 Baht.
9:58 Actually that's illegal and many people think it's disorderly. But you know, this is Thailand. X-D 'Thai' means 'Freedom', we do whatever we want.
Wait, there are things that are illegal AND enforced here in Thailand? Lol. I’m kidding, of course.
@@LifewithSerg only for farangs
I was so afraid Samrong heat would knock you down. 😅 Better find some thing to protect yourself such as uv proof jacket and a hat.
It was brutal that day. There’s actually a period of three days where I had walked between 10 to 13 km each day. Making this video was the last of those three days and I was completely wiped out. I found another lesser-known area today and made another video. I’m gonna save that one for a little bit later as I want to bring some other content out first.
@@LifewithSerg Get acquainted to the heat a little bit at a time. Don't overdo it please. As we want to watch your yt many years more. 😂
I’m pretty stubborn, but yes, having been born in Russia I’m definitely not built for the heat. I lived in California for 40 years, and although it got quite hot in summer, it was never humid. I will make sure I take care of myself so I can annoy all of you for many years to come. 🤣👍😁
ขอบคุณที่นำเที่ยวสถานที่ต่างๆของประเทศไทยซึ่งบางที่คนไทยบางคนก็ยังไม่เคยไปเที่ยวเลยค่ะ
I am very happy to explore all these different little places. Happy you like the video
Nice video i enjoy your presentation. However if you want to highlight "rarely seen" markets a BTS stop on Sukhumvit is far from that.
Thanks for watching.
🙏👍❤️🇹🇭
Thanks.
7:30 dude, how do you live in bangkok and not know about "boat noodle", im a tourist and i recognized it immediately. 8:15 is a meatball
Today is your lucky day. I have one more virtue signaling trophy left in my closet. Let me go fetch it for you.
I have never been to that area before, its kind of outer Bangkok and nothing popular there I guess 🤔.
I like exploring the lesser known areas.
you're so adventurous. i'm thai living in bangkok but i've never been to that area. if you ever ride a motorbike in thailand. please, please be very careful. many people do not really obey the traffic rules here.
Since I don’t know which areas are good to explore, I just randomly pick an area and go explore. Each time has been very interesting and I always manage to find something neat to see.
As for the motorbike tours, not to worry. I will be buying proper safety gear and I will be taking it very carefully. I have seen how people operate cars and motorbikes in Bangkok. It’s definitely interesting. To say the least. 555
The animals are the Lunar Calendar zodiac animals.
I don’t know why I didn’t realize that at the time, I think the heat was getting to me. Lol
Samrong is located in Samutprakan province, not in Bangkok.
Thanks.
Samrong is in Samut Prakan Province not Bangkok.
It’s close enough.
@@LifewithSerg yes , it's a nearby province some time even the Bangkokkian don't realise 😅.
I get a pass as I am new here then… 🤣😜😁
Reverend Grandfather Tuad stepped on fresh water Thai people believe that someone has you around their necks. It will prevent accidents on the road. Every day drivers have everyone. Guaranteed no accidents for sure. ..very sacred but only through the process of consecrated called the real monk
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Can you compare Thai cop versus American cop? Just want to know your opinion about this topic.
I originally wanted to do this topic, but I’ve come to the conclusion that it is not a good idea to do here. For a variety of reasons. 😬
Last time I went there was 1998, even its not the best spot for tourists but it’s still a vibrant twin city of Bangkok more like industrial areas
I don’t care for tourist attractions much. So I like to explore the more local areas. It’s a cool area. 😁
+1 for the algo
Thanks as always.
love love.
Samrong is not in Bangkok
Yes yes.. I know.. 😜
Chinese zodiac.
Yes that’s what I thought.
Random question, do you still speak Russian? It would be good to see you going to a barber and the price. I would get a legitimate massage if I were there. 26 yrs of marriage, definitely legitimate!! Must be humid, your shirt is totally soaked!!
If you follow Ride4Kicks on UA-cam, he has a friend that has a bike tour business where he supplies everything and it’s a tour of Thailand which includes hotel stays. He’s based out of Pattaya. Maybe worth inquiring about.
I was born in Russia and lived in US for 40 years, so I speak Russian. I actually have had a legitimate massage here. Found a deep tissue massage place.
@@LifewithSerg I immigrated from Korea when I was 6 and lived in the US 48 years and speak Korean but I know many that don’t. Would be good to see videos of massages too. Jason Rupp does those and haircuts on UA-cam.
Too much talking and less showing ❌
Ok Karen.
