Excellent video!Thanks for sharing.
lol thanks a lot. I will need this
Wow, thanks a bunch! This will make coming back to this video so much easier. Have a good day!
This video has fantastic quality footage. I felt the same way about Bangkok but from a different perspective ua-cam.com/video/8OViwmoFPu0/v-deo.html
You're bang on point, Matt. I've been visiting Thailand every year for the past 14 years - spent bundles of time and cash all over, but particularly in Bangkok. As a British/Jamaican who's traveled quite extensively over the past 30+ years (SEEN SOME THINGS AND DONE SOME STUFF IN NO GO PLACES) I can truly say that I don't know any other place in the world quite like Thailand. Peace
dremtay8 Agreed! No place like it. It’s a wonderful country. Thanks for the comment!
Cheers,
M
Also fell in love with Bangkok the first time my family and I went there this year!!! This video almost made me tear up. Can't believe I'll be back there by this Saturday.
Probably the best video on Bangkok I have ever seen, and as I have been there 17 times (my wife is Thai), I can vouch for ALL of your tips. Spot on the mark. Just like to add, use Bangkok as an entry point to Thailand, get out into the country, meet the real Thais. The country has so much to offer.
David Nash Thanks so much for the comment! So glad you liked the vid!
All the best,
M
Omg. Your video is the best Bangkok Travel Guide! Love it
Thanks! So glad you like the vid!
One of the best Thailand videos I've seen !
Thank you!!!
Matt's Travel Tips im goin there for first time in july ill definitely check out that hotel in soi 4 . any other tips for a first timer do i need vaccine shots?? cheers
+Wayne Mathews As far as vaccines, I forget exactly what you need. But if you just google "Thailand vaccinations," you'll get a bunch of Intro. As for other advice...just have fun, be open to new things, and remember what I said in the video about the scams:) Cheers!
+Wayne Matthews Hepatitis A and Tetanus, that's it (and you should have a Tetanus shot anyway, no matter where you live)...both good for 10 years. That's all I've ever gotten, and I lived in Bangkok for six years and travel there every year since 1999.
indeed!!!!
A nice and pleasant tourist destination, awesome street food and affordable fir the upper middle class people, the scenery, maintenance of tourist spots are commendable. The vibrant place for free mind people.
Amazing country I love it even more every time I go,And yes wonderful people
Best Bangkok videos I've watched! so informative and genuine! really love it!!!Thank you for sharing your tips with us future travelers x keep on the epic work!
Remember! When you use Thai Taxi. ALWAYS! go on with Meter. I'm repeat. Always go on with Meter
[tackle4826] - Tackle Minecraft I just ordered Ubers
Brownhippie X hey boo you went to Thailand? Can I hit you up to ask some questions
Lauren Anderson yes love
I wish someone would have told me that my first time in Bangkok. Taxi driver charged me 2500 baht from airport to Soi 12. No meter.
hilltop202 whoa I never paid more than 500 baht in a taxi. I took some if it was going to be faster
Cool video man. You really put a lot of work into this!
I hit your channel accidentally when I was finding some tips for London, UK. I have to say that all of your videos are AMAZING. As a Thai local in states, I have been asked all the time about travel tips in Bangkok. I think I need to share this clip to my friends. I like the way you present. They will get a perfect introduction in 12 minutes.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Glad you liked the vid. And thanks for sharing! Cheers
Love this video! Great job!
Still loving this! Hilarious, captivating, and informative all at the same time! Truly a grand slam trifecta. I myself am definitely looking forward to being there in a few weeks to try the amazing food and see all the temples. Thanks again for sharing this and I look forward to more to come. :-)
so refreshing !!! loved your video ! THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
I love love love what you do. Saw the Tokyo video too. I love how you keep it super cool and inspiring, not boring for a moment, but also it shows how respectful and humane you are. Love you for it.

Amazing video! Great content and editing. I just finished exploring Bangkok for the past few months and your tips are spot on!
The best, THE BEST(!) Bangkok video I've ever seen! Was looking for something like this for weeks.
Sara Garagozlu Thanks!! So glad you like it!

You're honestly so under rated, your videos are funny and incredibly informative (not just a few shots of the place you're going to with almost no information)
Thanks for the tips Matt! I'll make sure to skip the Gummi bears!
Yellow Productions Hahaha. Glad you liked the vid. I’m a fan of your vids as well! Keep up the great work!
All the best,
M

Most Videos are like: this is a Park you can go there you can take pictures, you can feed the Fish and there are nice flowers, too...
But this guy is coming up with straight facts!
Priceless!!!!

Avoid khoasan road these days 10/15 years ago it was great not anymore ..
Wow! Amazing! Great job Matt, your travel tips are the most useful.
Thanks so much! So glad you like the vids!
Very informative and amusing too! Thanks!
This is awesome. Some great ideas! We're here now and will be making more like this one, for sure. Thanks for the inspiration!
Matt, i've been there recently and i must say Thailand is an amazing country with the most beautiful, kind and friendliest people i have ever met. I loved it there and planing to go there again very soon :)
Imran khan Sadri Glad you had a great time!
Cheers,
M
yup good travel vid. been there a lot and this is gold.
Glad to hear it from a seasoned traveler. Thanks!
Thank you for the video. You are very entertaining and likeable. Useful tips!
What a cool style video, and cool, fun personality. Killed it. Planning to go in February:)
Unless you're a local, Tuk-tuks are NOT an option (apart from the one-off novelty trip). If you know where you're going , by far the cheapest (and sometimes even free) way is by bus - 7/11s sell pretty accurate bus route maps. Any destination walkable from the river, use the standard ferries - cheap and scenic.
I always take tuk tuks and never had any problems
Tuk tuks are ok just bargain hard on price avoid the smart drivers who approach you at least half the asking price
@@philflat4765 No matter how you bargain they will always be overpriced. The best fastest and cheapest way to travel is to take the MRT or BTS to the nearest stop near your destination and take a taxi bike (or use grab bike so you don't get ripped off by the bikers you get from the street). P.S: Been working in Bangkok for almost 3 years
Great videos, nicely edited..... New subs
Sensory overload is how I describe Bangkok. All senses are heightened too. I don't mind going back every year. Great video.
Ernesto Jr. Acosta Thanks! And I agree:)
Best dam video I've seen on a trip to Bangkok! Straight to the point, funny and entertaining! Thank you for this video.
wow...very nice one :) I really like your presentation
He looks like Shaggy from Scooby-doo.
I thought hes Jason mraz LOL “ im yours tooot tooroot tootoot “
I just got back from BKK, went to Raja Fashions to buy some shirts and told them about this video. This guy is great and should be on TV.
Excellent guide! One of the best I've seen. Thanks for sharing your tips!
Check out my channel!
that lizard is actually have a Animal protection act. so you can't kill them or will be jail .that's why it grow so big.
I'm Thai and i can guaranteed that Thipsamai Golden Gate is NOT that good, it is wayyyy overrated, local would not go there, some people might try it once because of the hype then never visit again.
Totally get that it's a tourist spot...but I thought it was pretty darn good:) To each their own!
I don't like Thipsamai and I'm Thai as well. I agreed that it's quite overrated, however, when it comes to taste... it's relative. It depends on what one's like .... so I'm not gonna judge anyone for that. Especially travelers..... At least they do it in the right way, unlike so-called Pad-Thai cart around Khoa San Rd.
I agree with you.. There;s so much more to enjoy and I suggest people just venture out on their own.. This video covered a lot of the touristy spots which I personally hate. lol.
ผมว่าการเราจะแนะนำอะไรไป ควรเขียนให้ถนอมน้ำใจคนที่เขาทำวีดีโอให้ประเทศไทยน่าจะดีกว่า การจะออกความเห็นค้านอะไรไปไม่น่าจะเป็นผลดี แต่ควรจะออกความเห็นแนวแนะนำน่าจะดีกว่า และสั้นๆสร้างสรรค์ เช่นเขาบอกว่าตลาดนั้นดีอาหารอร่อย ถ้าเราเห็นว่าที่อื่นดีกว่า เราก็แค่บอกไปว่าผมขอแนะนำตลาดนี้มีอาหารอร่อยเช่นพวกคุณน่าจะไปลองดูสักครั้ง ๆม่ควรไปบอกว่าตลาดนั้นไม่ดีอย่างนั้นอย่างนี้ เเละที่สำคัญคนเราชอบไม่เหมือนกัน สิ่งที่คุณแนะนำคนอื่นอาจไม่ชอบเหมือนเราก็ได้ คับ
และคนที่ทำเขาอาจหมดกำลังใจที่จะทำขึ้นมาอีกก็ได้!
We saw this video before visiting Thailand...it was helpful.. Thanks buddy
this guy is awesome :D videos full of funny moments and energy. Thanks a lot!
Dude wtf! The hotel you recommend was right next to redlight district. Everyday I had soo many prostitutes coming up to me and cat calling me. The neighborhood is straight trash. I followed your Tokyo tips but you really failed when it came to Bangkok.
IK407 Sorry to hear that man:( I never had that experience in that neighborhood. But it has been a few years since I’ve stayed there. Hope the rest of your time there was better other than your experience with the hotel.
All the best,
M
Matt's Travel Tips the rest of my trip was in the Islands so well worth it. But Bangkok was just eye opening lol. No worries man, keep the videos coming!!
IK407 Okay so glad to hear that:) Appreciate the support.
All the best

Nana is actually a fantastic area. I nearly always stay there. Prostitutes are like McDonald's, just because they're there, doesn't mean you have to buy.
I don't see the problem
อายมากเรื่อง Scam แท๊กซี่กับตุ๊กๆเนี่ย
ดีทุกอย่างยกเว้นแท็กซี่กับตุ๊กๆที่โก่งราคาค่าโดยสารนี้เเหละ
จริง
Have to say that your blog is awsome and funny well done I look forward to seeing more :) :)
Loved this video. I really can't wait to go to Thailand.
Tip number 1: she’s most likely a guy
if you only had one rule for thailand this is it
MikefromQueens another sad one that likes to look at men in makeup with plastic tits inside out willy’s and ping pongs
Lmao😂😂😂
Tf not every women there is a guy
Which is why I love Thailand ;)
Sorry, but you oh so cute recommendation at 11:42 characterizes far too many Western tourists and is not cute in any way - as is reflected in the tightening of the current visa requirements in order to get rid of such foreign asshats.
Awesome video, thank you! 😊
Great video!!! Street food is my all time favorite. I have been to Thailand 5 times. And like you myself nor my family has even gotten sick from street food. I love Thailand so much!!!
I just adored your video. Brilliantly presented!!
