- Songkran party 2022 at Talat Phlu street food market. Lots of fun and games around the market and by the canal. I took a walk around the neighbourhood and found two historic temples, lots of khlongs, lots of wildlife and a great celebration for Thai new year Songkran 2022!

A poem for Bangkok Pat:
Think beyond a shopping mall
Khao Shan, Bang Sue, Thong Lor
He's got it all
What are you waiting for?
He talks about history
Reveals all the mysteries
Look out for the ghost story
He loves the city cats
His name is Bangkok Pat
Thanks Raza, you ought to be a lyricist rather than just a poet!
Love it! Cheers.
@@BangkokPat You're welcome. I just thought of it from the top of my head after being hooked on your channel. Glad you liked it 😁
Have a wonderful weekend!
Raza
@@RyuRaza -Pat is a good role model for a sojourner of and lover of South East Asia.
One of my fondest memories of Thailand was getting the sleeper train from BKK to Surat thani to visit Samui in 2005. Great train journey with an open buffet carriage with a disco. Happy days
Cheers, not so fun nowadays though, no smoking, drinking or having fun!
@@BangkokPat that's sad to hear glad I saw it when it was free. 😢
Used to love going from Bangkok to Chiang-Mai as a child. It was an adventure!
So many restrictions nowadays I guess.
Ahh the sleeper train...forgot about that.. I was there 2004/5 also..did a few runs to Chang Mai on the sleepers to...great memories..
Happy Sonkran
It is so sweet and nice, that one half of the nation takes care, that the other half never gets hungry for longtime.
Support the art of cooking and that spirit by avoiding franchais whereever possible, please
Easier said than done but l'm fussy about what l eat!
What can I say - really , really , really good video 👌 🐈👍🙏
Watched this video a few days ago then watched it again last night to share with my wife. We had done a coastal cycling trip back in 2016 that we began from the Wong Wian Yai station. We loved the way the neighborhood embraced the station and single strand of track and had a lovely local breakfast on the platform. On separate excursions we have visited Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen. We were there before they began the giant Buddha construction and then again when it was just the underlying support armature. Can't wait to go back and see the finished piece in person. But our favorite part of the temple grounds was the amazing green crystal interior of the top floor of the stupa. Between the overwhelming amount of translucent green and the day-glo murals I could not quite make out whether it is a peaceful vision of heaven or a jarring preview of hell. Another excellent video and tour that brought back some lovely memories for us and inspiration to return to the are to explore further. Thank you, sir...Cheers!
I love to walk and see those old traditional wooden houses and wander down side lanes, it's so great to discover new hidden treasures!
Nice tour. Enjoy the history lesson. I'm sure Gary appreciates the shout out. Really enjoy his channel.
GREAT VIDEO along with some history of Culture like the videos Pat
Nice one Pat. Great content as always
The pigs say hi!
@@BangkokPat the greedy swines!!!!
Really enjoyed this place been a long time since I ve been there , wife took my by train was packed ...
thank you so much for your recommendation of Gary the Roaming Cook. He's as fabulous as you are.
God bless you for feeling
Kitty cats. That's is making me feel better for someone who care about the animals I appreciate you for that very much .
Great video, thanks Pat!
Thanks Lorraine.
So happy to see amazing suburbs like this still in existence in Bangkok, you did a great job of bringing the vibe of the place across the screen and into our homes.
Pat, would love to see you do a video on the Nightingale Olympic department store. What a trip back in time that place is!
Thanks Graham, I only really explored the immediate area of that railway station and of course Talat Phlu has a bit more too. But I always overlap into other areas in videos so when I do Wongwian Yai, I venture back into Talat Phlu!
Krisanthummum !
Easy for you to say.
My summarized perception of Bangkok wouldn't have been the same without your vids, Pat....🙂....TAT owes you....🙂
Just because I go to all these places in videos doesn't mean I think they're all great! That'd be impossible but the TAT should acknowledge my efforts although I don't do it with them in mind.
I we're Born in rimkhlong
Sam Sam canals makasan
Bangkok . And some of the
Places are looks familiar .
Thank you for sharing .
Great infrastructure footage of bbk. Railway networks!!
Wow very nice temples there in talat phlu, 1960s arquitecture with houses 100 years old very interesting place
Great place for an adventure, old 1960s style Bangkok!
DARTS 555 ,,you beautiful pat , great video love facts history
Thanks 👍 Glad you enjoyed it Gabriella!
Another fascinating vblog, I spent a day wandering round this area back in 2021 ,it was great, friendly people, not many foreigners, big Buddha was under construction. I must visit again.
Great fun place to hang around doing this video, delightfully un-modern!
@@BangkokPat like stepping back in time .
Nice update visit next time thanks
Thanks Ginette!
Awesome pat !!!!
happy songkran pat
Super Duper Pat.....great to see your subs on the rise👍👍
Nice one Pat sure beats doing nothing at home on a rainy day. Cheers
Your video's look like mini documentaries..i love it. Thanks for your effort in making and posting these!
Thank you very much, glad to hear that!
that was a very good vid Pat i enjoyed it a lot
Another great and original video. Am returning to BKK in early June for the first time, post COVID, may take a trip here.
Congrats Pat!! Enjoy each and every video! Happy Songkron!! Can’t wait to come back Donnie in Arizona
Thanks Donnie!
Thank you Pat for your kindness! Sawadee Crab, mate! I'm looking forward to getting back there soon to visit family and friends! Rama 9 and I share a common birthplace! I have to remind my Thai familily that the greatest king of Thailand was American!
Thank you Pat, for the great video !
Nice video Pat. Keep them coming
Thanks Jerek. Great area to spend a few days.
Pat, after witnessing your dart throwing, I don't believe you've ever played darts before lol
Awesome channel, brother, love it!!
Very original contents
Happy Songkran to you , Pat. In February i was in Bangkok . and i booked "Sucki" as a guided to Patpong Museum. (Great guy and great stories)Thank you for ALL of your Videos. .
Thanks 😊 nice to see authentic 👍 side of Bangkok sadly 😥 like all big cities around 🌎 this is disappearing 😕 😢
What a charming area. A must go in my next trip to Bangkok.
It really is, in its own way, a bit chaotic but fun.
Always good content Pat! My fav youtube channel.
Nice area too. Trying to catch up on some of your older videos...
Great podcast Pat, like the subtle yet content filled narration and videographer
Still queuing for that cocoa!
Your gun shooting is really professional. 😉👍
Thanks Pat! Wongwian Yai is our favorite Train station. We always stay up the street at Bangkok Loft Inn, which may be closed now. :^(
We sat with those guys playing checkers, last time in Talat Phlu, and they fed us oranges. So nice! We love your videos, and hope to meet you to buy you lunch in person next year, or maybe take a Ghost Tour? At least a cat tour! Thanks again for all your great videos!
Thanks a lot and glad to know you share my fondness of that station and the area. Wongwian Yai roundabout area is gonna be a video I'm shooting next week and I'm trying to get access to an old empty department store that overlooks the roundabout, might be a few ghost stories to tell. When you're next in Bkk give me a shout!
Yeah! You visited my neighborhood! Love Thonburi
Hi pat.bn watching your channel a few months now your content is unique you have a nice documentary style like no other brilliant..the amount of work that goes into your vlogs I completely understand brilliant mate..keep it up..very knowledgeable stuff..I particularly like when you bring in guests..Peter n Pete I watch both of them as well..keep up your hard work mate your research n time is respected especially showing all the old school stuff..💯🇹🇭🏴
Not to fortunate when it came to the dart :) :) :) better luck next time Pat, another very nice video and I look forward to next video,cheers :) :) :)
Thanks! I am ok when it's real darts and not special ones that are hard to throw!
@@BangkokPat Thank you for your answer Bangkok Pat,I’m not good with dart,either,but it’s always nice to have a go,but if your skills in the art of dart is not that very good,it doesn’t matter because when you make your videos that shows the skills that you possess :) :) :)

Another good quality video. You could make a full video just on those two temples, both have loads of history and incredible inside. By the way, not for the faint at heart, another way to get to/ from Talat Phlu is taking bus 111. That is an experience itself. That bus goes through lots of smaller Sois throughout the area and eventually goes pass Icon Siam (get on going east).
Thanks Richard, those temples could easily fill a video each, I kept them brief for that very reason, I could have gone on a bit more! One day I will do a video on temples and will go further on those two. I used to ride the buses all the time 20yrs ago, I had the bus routes map I had to unfold each time, not much fun in rainy season in the evenings, trying to find some light! Had some interesting adventures, will do a video about my first bus ride back in 2001 when I got lost on the 92!
Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
Good video and happy new year.
Would be nice to see a video on Samut prakan/Paknam
Thanks, it's in the pipeline, that area, I'm trying to work out a sensible exploration area, it's a big province!
enjoy your vids very much Pat. very well done sir. real info, history and scenery.
thanks for providing these to all of us stuck in our home countries, biding our time until we can return to the land of smiles.
from British Columbia, Canada
👍👍👍👍
Last time we were at Wat Paknam, the Buddha statue was still just a frame. Can't wait to go there again. Cute cats in this video, Pat !!
Thanks! Before I did any research I though the statue was there for over a century!
@@BangkokPat I think we were there in 2018 when it was just a few circular frames. I love that temple; the emerald crystals inside are so powerful !
Nice place, thanks Pat.
nice wooden houses there. BTW...colonial architecture in BKK could be an own video f.e. There is a frenchman done a lot research in....
Real Thailand through & through!
Thanks Pat 🇹🇭🇭🇲B
Thanks a lot! Great area for exploring, my first proper trip into Thonburi for a video!
Very enjoyable Pat
It's one of those old skool places that's a lot of fun to explore, without any malls overshadowing the area!
@@BangkokPat It looks worth exploring hopefully I can have a look later in the year
Greetings from Chiang Khan and it feels nice to be back.
Needless to say, a nice upload and thank you for the wonderful Thai imagery and the way you present.
As an expat in bkk, and former Washington Square regular, a few rolls in between bb shots was expected :-)
Thanks man, hope you're enjoying a subdued new year!
Thanks Pat, I must check Talat Plu out. Good Video as always
At 15:19 did anyone see the bucket of water being thrown at the train station guy? 🤣
Nice video 👍
... look over Pads right shoulder. The officer got shocked
Your videos have that BBC feel to them. Super. 👍
Thanks Hedgehog, that's a compliment I've had a couple of times!
15:18 train station staff member gets splashed haha. It is a Festival🤷🏽♂️ 😆
Yeah, I only just noticed that! That station guy was throwing water balloons at a few people earlier that day. Hmmmm. The cops may be interested!
What a refreshing to watch at this location .well done
Great video , scenery , history.. 🙏..
Very nice. Thanks, Pat. Happy New Year!
Thanks Ralph!
another excellent video that makes us wanna explore Krungthep a bit more
Thanks, still much to explore but there's only one of me!
❤️
Another good un Pat! Always like those with railways in them..... i too have used Wongwian Yai station in the past, when i took my girl (her from Khon Kaen) to the Mae Klong Market. This is an unusual line as it's not connected to the rest of the Thai rail system, as is the Mae klong Market line, 2 totally separate lines! Perhaps you could find out why and make a vid?..........
Thank you for the video. Love it! My neighborhood. Don't be a stranger next time you venture out to these parts. Lots to explore and some amazing food to be eaten 😄
This was a nice and relaxing video about this area. Some of the places I already visited but the I miss the trainstation
Interesting area but and a lot going on in some parts, but refreshingly old fashioned, not a mall or condo where I was shooting, but too many canals!
Did you miss the Phrarathchamongkhon Stupa in Wat Paknam? It was the highlight of Wat Paknam for me and is a really impressive sight.
GF had a go at the darts/balloon game (at the temple at On Nut Rd Soi 23). I had a look at one of the darts and it was so blunt it would be difficult to have burst a soap bubble with it. I suggested I could sharpen it on the concrete floor but that went down like a lead balloon... 555
Nice to see a different take on Talat Phlu. This area has so many famous food stalls, it takes several visits to try them all. How about a history of the Bangkok fancy nightclubs in the 70s for your future video?
Great viewing as always Pat,,,,
Thanks very much mate.
Happy Songkran Pat!
Thanks and the same to you as well!
This time I hit like before proceeding to watch the amazing video. I guess that was the least I could do to express my support.
You're definitely former SAS ... ;)
I swear I'm not. Even if I was I couldn't tell you anyway.
You were in my neighbourhood! That would have been great to run into you here. Once again, thanks for the nice video. Keep up the good work!
Where would I be without your videos T_T
I miss Bangkok like crazy but thanks to you I get to see it every week. Thank you so much and สุขสันต์วันสงกรานต์ 💛
Thank you very much!
Hi Pat...great work on the channel..ive only recently come across you....ive 'lived' a few times in Thailand for year long stints in chaing mai and rai...hve done cycle tours and so on......Im now back in the uk but due to current events I often wonder about making a more permanent shift....if possible and without wanting to compromise your channel regarding censorship and so on......but what are your thoughts on corona restrictions jabs....passes.. and so on regarding thais and ex pat communities...I totally 'get' it if you cannot or choose not to......all the best..and well done again....surely the best and most realistic vids of life ive seen on thailand
I will have to go there soon. I'm staying quite close to there at the moment only several minutes motorcycle taxi away near that BTS but alas I injured my foot otherwise I would go tomorrow for the last day of Songkran.
Get well soon! It's a good way to kill a couple hours, make sure you arrice hungry!
From cats to farm animals… 😁 Only on the Bangkok Pat channel.. 👍
I cover all zoological possibilities on this channel. The cats were a bit jealous though...
Happy Songkran Pat krab🙏
Thanks Matteo, same to you!
Great video, I'm surprised everyone is wearing masks. Are infections up?
I don't think I see many mask in Pattaya video's.
Masks are like a religion here, positive test results are up and down between 20-25k per day but this narrative is wearing very thin indeed.
Happy Songkran Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit Pat! 🤪
Thanks Joe! I did consider that name but I'm still memorising it all!
Happy Thai New Years B.P. Another great BKK History lesson is in the bag. 🙏
Thanks very much for the new year wishes, it passed rather quietly again this year, thank God!
@@BangkokPat 😂
The best thing about Bangkok, you can get a bus to Laos, China, Cambodia, Viet Nam, Malaysia, Singapore. You can get a ferry to Indonesia, the Phillipines, without ever getting on a plane. I love travelling overland. Fifty four hours on a train across China, bring it on! I can't think of a better way of spending a weekend.
Happy New year Mr Pat!
Thanks Nick. Sawasdee pee mai to you too!
I hope you were just kidding when you said to use a bit of you SFO skills mate !! Because, you don't even grab that toy pistol in the right way.!
Hold it the right way? Oh no, so you are one of those ex SF know it alls? Did you honestly think I was serious? I have mocked those pretend SF types in several videos.
@@BangkokPat Yep, I met some of those bloody phony wannabe soldiers myself. Where did I say that? I didn't say I was one of those guys even if I was part of the common military.
Hey Pat ! Leave those kids alone ! 🤣🤣🤣
I'm partial to those doi kham juices esp strawberry and fuji greentea , drink so much in that bkk heat .
to where do the boats go...??? can we reach from the main chaophraya river via public boat ?...i like "a gentle spread of water"...makes me smile...the last time that gentle spread was a ton of water that i received at every street corner at least twice a minute...
since that " experience" I stay well away from bkk in songkran
Another place I now have to visit because of your channel damn you Pat. Have always been curious where those subway-like trains came from. My least favorite style of train in Thailand. Oddly you never see them in the south of Thailand. They remind me of the old subway trains out of New York city I traveled on years ago.
Thank you so much for this video, and happy new year... which number is now...5.800? See you in the ne t one 👋
Thanks Paula, happy songkran!
Sawatdee bee mai khrap, khun Pat! 🙏🙏
And thanks a lot for another gem of a video.
Thanks and a happy new year to you too!
🌴🌴👍👍👍🌴🌴
Thanks
What happened in that train someone trown water at police :D
I didn't notice!
Hi Pat!! any good areas close to bangkok that is not prone to constant flooding ? where would you recommend that you think will be less prone to flooding for the next few years ?
your pistol shooting is much better than your dart flinging lol
Talat Phlu SRT Station will become a major tourist attraction thanks to the movie How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies.
BKK Pat, have you seen the movie and what do you think of it?
