As part of the 14% of Thai of Chinese descent, I thank you for mentioning that fact! Maybe one day people will stop saying "you don't look Thai" when I say I'm Thai-American, lol. Great video! I can't wait to go to Thailand next month to visit the relatives.
Various Asian looks and ethnicities all throughout Southeast Asia. I don’t see a single Thai look, ever. And China is filled with people who have different looks and facial features, body types, etc.. Normal.
You two keep getting better! This was one of my favorites from you. You were so energized and excited and it really came through. Makes me much more excited to explore Thailand. And congratulations on 20k subscribers - you really deserve it!
Great vid and so happy to see your channel bouncing back with viewers. Stuck with y’all through the hard times and stoked to see it turning back around.
Absolutely loved Seeing The Dancing Dragon & The Lanterns In Chinatown. Got So Much Better At Nighttime Food Looked So Yummy. Think I Would Stay Inside Chinatown To Soak It Up. Absolutely Fantastic From The Moment It Started Until The Moment It Ended.
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it! It definitely got better and better as the night arrived. Staying in Chinatown would be a great idea to really soak it all in. The energy was unreal!
patongo is a magical thing. one of those food i absolutely miss every time i leave. we doing have that here (that is like what you got). classically, you'd eat dip it in sweeten condensed milk. for some people, that plus coffee is their standard breakfast. my favourite use, though, is them cut up and added to congee/jok. it's amazing.
Glad to see you have a good time here in China town Bangkok. Welcome to Thailand!! I had Patonggo since I was very young but now I have less because it's quite oily. But it always taste great. We can also have Patongo with coffee or tea for breakfast. :D
I was just in that temple a few weeks ago. Back home in Asheville, NC now. Returning to Asia for seven weeks a year from now...hopefully. Safe travels.
after the main dragon dance, there are multiple dragons that go door to door to bless businesses often by doing a small dance in front of their business, and of course they then collect a small fee.
Congrats on hitting 20k subscribers! Did you get a new camera or lens as it's feel like I'm watching Netflix production quality now. Loving the content.
Pathongko Chinese snack that came to Thailand with the Chinese immigrants. In Mandarin it is called Youtiao, in Cantonese Youzhagui, literally means ‘oil-fried devil’ Due to a confusion with a different kind of dessert, it should actually be called You Zha Guai in Teochew. It was previously sold together by street vendors who normally walked around and shouted both names out loud. However, Thai customers often mistakenly thought that the more popular You Zha Guai was Pathongko. Eventually, the real Pathongko disappeared from the market because of its unpopularity. In Thailand, Pathongko is also dipped into Thai Coconut Custard (Sangkaya) or condensed milk. The legend of the snack: During the Song Dynasty (960-1279), there was a famous and well-respected General, Yue Fei who had been known for his loyalty towards the kingdom and his Emperor. The Prime Minister of the time, Qin Gui had unusually resented Yue Fei. With the manipulative influence from his wife and to gain real power, he accused Yue Fei of a crime and executed him. Although frustrated, there was nothing the public civilians could do. To relieve his anger, a baker thought of an idea of making bread in the shape of 2 people twisted together and deep-fried it in burning hot oil. The shape was to signify Qin Gui and his wife. Symbolically, they had burnt the Qin Gui couple in hot oil and eaten them up. There are statues of Qin Hui and wife kneeling at Yue Fei gravestone in Yue Fei's shrine in Hangzhou. Some visitors traditionally curse and spit on the statues.
I'm Thai and I'm really addicted to patonggo. I have to remind myself don't eat too much because it can make me fat lol Actually it called youtiao in mandarin chinese but thai peoples in the past misunderstood and called it patonggo which is other type of chinese dessert.
Love your videos, especially in SE Asia. You two do a wonderful job anywhere you are of course. The videos are always very well done. I love your enthusiasm and undying wonder. Stay safe y’all!
10 million Chinese descent immigrating to Bkk is huge numbers in Thailand. In Turkey, just 100 Chinese immigrants you can observe as Turkey possess 91.000 mosques compared to 32.000 budhist temples in Thailand.
Thailand is country with largest chinese descent because buddhist and their king also had chinese bloods, for 2012 10 million thai people are chinese descent but for now its up to 40% thai people are had chinese bloods
Sorry guys but you should do your research, Yokohama is the largest Chinatown, plus San Francisco is larger than Bangkok according to google. Also Chinese Luner New Year was on February 1st 2022, so as you only just posted this I’am confused, in fact the end of last week was the Songkran Water Festival, which is the most important Festival for Thai people and it’s Bhuddhist. So is this also celebrated by the Chinese community in Bangkok? I can only assume you shot this on February 1st, that’s the only thing that makes sense for me! 🤷♂️. Ok I’ve just checked your Instagram and you were in Bangkok 11 weeks ago, so you’re not posting currently, no problems! But the date of the vlog would of been helpful
Our understanding was that there’s debate on which Chinatown is the ‘largest’ based on square miles, population, etc. So, guess it depends on definition. Regardless, the Bangkok Chinatown is huge and vibrant. Yes, it takes us a bit longer to publish videos since we film more per week than we can edit, and spend more time editing than most to have really good quality videos.
Thailand is the largest chinese descent in the world without china taiwan, thai people in 2012 had 10 million chinese bloods but now is more bigger than 2012
You said that 14% of Thai people are Chinese decent. Do you know that they were forbidden to speak Chinese, their native language, at one point until not too long ago?
Not for long time that Chinese in Thai land were forbidden to learn Chinese in schools . In Thai- Chinese family they mainly speak Tea-chew for the old and speak Thai for the young generation. And they want to assimilate into Thai society so they just speak Thai .

Love Bangkok for the multicultural atmosphere🙂
Agreed! We love it!
Foreigners will know more about the country because there are good tourists like you 2 introduced through your channel. Thank you very much.
You two keep getting better! This was one of my favorites from you. You were so energized and excited and it really came through. Makes me much more excited to explore Thailand. And congratulations on 20k subscribers - you really deserve it!

Nice video

😊😊🥰🥰
It s Michelin Guide, ( or Michelin recommended) it s not award. I heard. 😜
Ah, yes! That’s correct
I just notice , I couldn't heard any car horn while you walked by the street side . It looks like people there usually do not use it .
It considers rude here in Thailand. We don't honk unless we encounter a really horrible driver or nearly causing accident.
We heard horns every now and then but not as much as you would think
So cute
Thank you 🙏
Nice

China Town is but a very small part of Bangkok!
So true - it’s a massive city!
