  • Me & my Thai girlfriend went on a romantic trip to Ayutthaya, one of Thailand's ancient capital cities. It's worth a visit if you want a slice of historic life and a look into Thailand's turbulent times in the past. Its an hour by train from Bangkok and there is plenty to see and do. Myself and May visited 3 of the most significant temples and the floating market as we only had one full day. We also rode around the city to get a good look at the area which we will visit again in the future.
    Ayutthaya also has many canals and the Chao Phraya River running through it, and with so much of Thailand's important history to be told, you may need several days to get around and take it all in. There are many good hotels and places to eat and drink. Enjoy!

      The night life is a good substitute for heading into BKK. Next time stay a couple nights. Falang Street where Planet Earth is, there's a couple nice hostels walking distance. Night clubs of interest, The Story, New Cowboy, and Yermmm and the Boss on the other side of town. So for the foreigners that want to see the temples and elephants during the day, there's definitely some night life. You should have called me, I would've come meet you.

    Hi BKK Pat & May. How lovely to finally "meet" May. May reminds me of my junior HS classmate who was so smart/clever/intelligent. Last I heard of her, after she graduated from the top Uni in BKK, she opened her own book store somewhere in BKK. This trip/journey of you guys to Ayuthaya, a sign of Pa Sak River, which also runs through my old home town in Saraburi, brings back my childhood memory. Where have the time gone? Anyhow, good to see you get out of your "stomping ground" every now and then, BKK Pat. Still waiting to hear you mingle with the locals and speak Thai though. Just be true to yourself. No acting or phoniness allow. 😁

    My wife and I just returned from Bangkok after four long years away. I just wanted to check in--after buying you a few coffees--and say a big Thank You for all of your hard work on YT. Besides being an essential pressure release valve during the quarantine years, I have been amused, educated, surprised and delighted by your vlogs. And they helped inform this trip and made it that much more rewarding for both of us. In particular, we found our way down to Jack's on our last day and had a lovely time with our feet practically in the Chao Praya as we sipped a couple of cold Sings, promising ourselves we'd be back again soon...and toasting to Bangkok Pat, of course! Thank you, brother! Safe travels and best of luck going forward. Hope we can cross paths when we are living in SEAsia in a few years. Cheers!!

You'll be getting like Jonny in Hua Hin, reviewing hotels (Jeroen went to see him). You talking about lifting toiletries reminded me of a trip to Sri Racha. I 'borrowed' a face flannel, as I'd forgotten to bring one, and it was checked by the cleaner, who then rang down to reception. Not the same as Europe, where bath robes & towels go missing lol.

    Nice to see you spread your wings a bit Pat, and to see your lovely girlfriend! The steps on that Temple seemed a bit tame comapred to one i went to just north of Khon Kean at Phra That Kham Kaen. The steps there went on forever! There are vids on YT of the place.... Ridz For kicks does good 'couple travelling' vids but yours seems to have a nice, natural feel to it, so if May is up for it, why not do more? She obviously knows a fair bit, she answered all your questions ok, maybe a bit of a closet enthusiast? When they open after the flood damage they recieved, a nice day trip would be to the Jesada Tecknik Museum at Nakhon Chasri, or perhaps the Mae Klong market at Samat Songran, you could give us a bit of history to why it evolved the way it did? Just some random ideas although i'm sure you have plenty of your own......

    The relaxed pace of the vlog reminded me of the relaxed pace of train travel. I usually carve out time at night to watch travel vids when everyone else has gone off to bed. Your vids are too interesting to drift off to but they are a welcome respite--and inspiration--at the end of my day. Well done!

    Nicely done Pat! Did a Day trip by the local train to Ayutthaya in '08 with my family and Mai is right in that at least two days and probably three would be good. We lucked out and hired a taxi to take us round to the temples, the driver was very good at showing us some of the prominent temples as well as a wonderful lunch spot and we really enjoyed the whole day even though it was a long one. Thanks for stirring those fine memories Pat and keep up the great work!

Your very calm in your voice, your knowledge is amazing, I’m sure you do research, but to remember it all on camera, I take my hat off to you. And of course whenever I see a cat here in Thailand, I think, mmm, I wonder if you have been a star of the show lol. Just keep doing what your doing pat.
