Walking in any Chinatown around the world is a must BUT definitely my favorite one is Bangkok. The lights, smells, alleys, gold shops, food and the PEOPLE. Great video Chris Hi 🇨🇦 from Samut Prakan ☺️
@RetiredWorkingForYou would love to catch up when I'm in town in January, downloaded the app and some great suggestions. I'm moving to KL full time for work in a few days
Good morning from Chicago Chris. Wow crazy busy in Chinatown. I'm waking up with my sweet wife and watching your video. We are watching and making plans for our trip to Thailand for a list of things to do. Chinatown is a top choice, looks like a fun place. Love the energy of so many people. Thanks Great Video
Totally agree with the fun comments from friends & fellow fans here... loving this list, thank you Chris! To your request for top-3 predictions, here's my guess: #3: Soi Cowboy and Soi Nana (not just Nana Plaza but all the new eateries and bars); #2: Long-tail khlong tour, and #1: Chatuchuk Weekend Market.
Bangkok's Chinatown is my favorite Chinatown. I lived within walking distance from here for about half a year... loved the street food. Can't wait to get back.
Just back from Bangkok after 4 long years away. Your site has provided a much needed pressure release and enabled my wife and I to stay connected to our wanderlust and dreams of travel. This year was a scouting trip for our 'gap year retirement' plan: Prior to retirement in a couple of years here, my wife and I would like to live in SEAsia for an extended stay of travel, food, drink, friends, language & cultural immersion. VN [Vung Tau or Hanoi] is leading the pack with Thailand nipping at its heels. Besides an existing network of friends in Laos, Viet Nam & Thailand, a few YT channels--yours included--are helping us form a plan. I just wanted to say that your vlog on the Bangkok Seafood restaurant on Sukhumvit was a pearl of great price amongst the many pearls you've proffered. We were in Bangkok for 4 days and ate there twice! We feasted on seafood like a couple of King Neptunes [although let's be honest: it would make much more sense for his reign if he ate turf instead of surf]. Either way, Cheers and many, many thanks for that insight. Keep up the hard and helpful work, brother!
It's painful to watch you eat Vegemite like that 🤣 great to see Australia on the list. Awesome video, Chris! Making me so excited to return to Thailand next week 🥰
Love China town anywhere. Back alleys are the best places to be! Some amazing finds. There is hope for Mark Wiens, he was in Cebu Philippines yesterday, said he was on his way to meet up with you Chris. Another great video, looking forward to your number one!
Bangkok Chinatown must be a must when traveling to Thailand. To spend a whole day in that era, daytime and evening and in the night, Chinatown has everything. just ordering street food and sitting at small tables on the pavement and feeling the atmosphere, people, lights, smells, the chaos of it all, It is always wonderful to come back here, and every time there are new experiences even if you have been there several times.. food is an important part of life, just love it, can`t wiat to be back .. :)
Do you believe it or not, 50+ years ago, Yaowarat was very quiet at night. After 8 pm, practically all shops closed. There were no food stalls in those days. Yaowarat was/is famous for gold shops. There are more than 10 gold shops lining along the street. I believe that Yaowarat began to offer street foods at night 20+ years ago when Princess Sirindhorn began to officially preside over the Chinese New Year celebration on this street. Yaowarat area is the world's biggest China Town. BTW, Thai donuts you mention is called Pa Tong Koh in Thai.
My wife and I will be in Yaowarat for 3 days next week, before finally heading back to Melbourne, Australia after a 4 week holiday. Can’t wait to explore Chinatown after seeing this great video. Thx Chris
Well my first winter away was going to be Mexico but I'm starting to think Thailand. Chinese food got me interested in Thai food and your channel. Thanks for opening my eyes Chris.🙏🙏🙏
I’m loving this Chris!! So glad to see Haley with you on this video….gotta love her & I adore her!! Cannot wait to see China Town in February of 2023🎉🎉🎉
Great Video as always, top 3 countries I guess is US, UK and Thailand. No idea of what the top 3 places are but cannot wait to find out. Maybe Pad Krapow lady Number 1
Yes! I love Bangkok CTown! I actually needed to visit the embassy there but they had not yet announced their reopening so all I could do was call the number they had posted on the wall just outside of the entry gate. Oh well, I ate and shopped my way around! Amazing place.
On the mango, there's something good about a very ripe mango, but .... a crispy mango, just turning yellow orange, that is stunning. Then green mango, with salt, curry powder, vinager as a dip, ...
I'm not sure what the locations will be, but I'd guess the viewership is 3) UK, 2) Thailand, and 1) US. Seriously, you've included all of the places that I'd add, so I can't wait to see what the three best spots are. Then get up here to Chiang Mai and let me buy you a Leo!
Great honour that UK is in the top 3! BTW congrats to Aussies for winning against Tunisia today although shame you guys didn't quite make to the top 3.
Yay! Was waiting for Oz to turn up on the list.😀 I resisted the urge to look ahead. I'm a latecomer to this series, but man, what a phenomenal job you've done on it, Chris! Can't wait to get back to Bangkok. You're an amazing ambassador for Thailand!
Hello Criss, this is the Resin Cajun from the bayou Outside of New Orleans. I have been following you on Retired Working for you. got up one day and here I am in Bangkok. checked in to the C House Hostal and about to start my adventure. So put Mardi Grass aside and party here in Bangkok.
Wat Traimit is another Chinatown temple that's impressive. Has the large, solid gold Buddha. As for your Top 3, I have already predicted Ruam Sab's Pad Krapow lady. That leaves two more. The Jim Thompson House Museum would have to be. Years ago when Mark did his list I gave him a hard time for not including it. Turns out, he didn't even know about it. There's also a possibility you could have a rooftop bar, so I'm saying your #1 might be a combo: Phed Mark for meetup and dinner with Mark , followed by a short walk to Octave Rooftop, where you will treat Mark to drinks. Did you include massages in your list? They would be in my top ten.
I was there a few days ago and opened my eyes to a whole new side of bangkok! Had avoided it for a long time but finally went and it was great! It’s about a 30min walk to Wat Arun and grand palace so that was a bonus 👌 great video

Totally agree!
Salut alain
I can't wait to visit in January, I will definitely being giving the list a go
thanks a ton for this Andrew!

@@andrewknell3421 if the videos are click bate I want to catch up too Mark Wiens is in Trinidad ..not Thailand lets all see what happens.....
Haha Haley is always so happy. What a cute life they have created in Thailand
One of the best and most interesting neighborhoods in Bangkok and now so easily accessible by MRT Blue Line!
We stay four nights at a hotel in Yaowarat - a not forgotten part of our holiday.
Good morning from Chicago Chris.
Wow crazy busy in Chinatown.

Thanks Great Video
Yaowarat + Ong Ang Canal walking street: great evening combo!
Vibrant is an understatement. People living what lifes all about there. Food, people, entertainment you got it all.
Another fantastic video, Chris! Man, your channel is so great! Love Haley, too!
👋🏼Hey Chris! Episode 4👍🏼👍🏼another awesome video! The street food looks so delicious! Making us so hungry! Keep the videos coming!
🍻Cheers🍻♥️🇨🇦
Yay 🇦🇺! An avid Korean-Aussie fan who used to live in BKK for several years 😃. Man I miss Thailand!
If there is one truth in the world, it's go to Yaowarat super hungry, cuz you are gonna eat more than you plan! Keep em coming, brother!
my humble version of gourmet food ... this little thai donut or youtiao.... eat it hot with some cheese on top.... heavenly 😊 ...
Sounds great!
No.3: Mahanakon skywalk
No.2: Jodd Fairs market
No.1: Chatuchak market
Thought it would be a bit closer to number 1, good to see you Haylee. Hopefully the river will be number 1.

Another great video about 🇹🇭 Thailand. Thank you.
Haylee looks amazing with her lovely new hair style!
2 thumbs up for Yaowarat & Soi Nana
Chinatown that everyone must come to, suitable for the 4th place.✌️🇹🇭
วันนี้ได้เห็นคุณฟ้า อันดับ1อาจจะเป็นการนั่งเรือล่องแม่น้ำเจ้าพระยาชมกรุงเทพตอนกลางคืน พร้อมกับกินอาหารไปด้วย

Yes I don't remember much about Chinatown in Bangkok 35 years ago apart from the gold shops and at night there was nothing going on
My wife and I will be in Yaowarat for 3 days next week, before finally heading back to Melbourne, Australia after a 4 week holiday. Can’t wait to explore Chinatown after seeing this great video. Thx Chris
Sounds great!
The Chinese Wat is called ‘Toa Pek Kong’…used to visit the one next to Shangri-La, new wing….lots of fond memories㊗️❤️🙏🇸🇬
Hiii , i'm from rockstar Lisaaaa.!!! 🎉🎉❤❤ See ya Yaowarat Bangkok, Thailand
Well my first winter away was going to be Mexico but I'm starting to think Thailand. Chinese food got me interested in Thai food and your channel. Thanks for opening my eyes Chris.🙏🙏🙏
We have been going to BKK for over 26 years and I lived there with my husband for 3 years.
Chinatown is a favorite. Have enjoyed your list.
I’m loving this Chris!! So glad to see Haley with you on this video….gotta love her & I adore her!! Cannot wait to see China Town in February of 2023🎉🎉🎉
Finally Australia has it the list😉🙏🏻🤪. Loving the Bangkok top 25. We are planning our trip to Bangkok next year from Perth Australia.
My fave street in my fave city! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Yaowarat must be so much easier to reach now that the MRT goes through it.
Great Video as always, top 3 countries I guess is US, UK and Thailand. No idea of what the top 3 places are but cannot wait to find out. Maybe Pad Krapow lady Number 1
very interesting David
Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi. Not too shabby coming in at #4. Excellent vid Chris! 🤘🇦🇺🤘
Im so excited to taste Chinese food in China Town for sure.
Heading to BKK for the first time in July. Rewatching your top 25 now! Thank you 🙏
another amazing Bangkok story...thaks for making my day ..and tonight is the night.. happy meal ther haha
Enjoy!
Great to see the Aussie's at no# 5. Coming back in Oct. Thanks for the shirt, Chris. Keep up the good work.
Yes! I love Bangkok CTown! I actually needed to visit the embassy there but they had not yet announced their reopening so all I could do was call the number they had posted on the wall just outside of the entry gate. Oh well, I ate and shopped my way around! Amazing place.
Love the daily uploads! You’re probably exhausted but we loveeeee the daily uploads 🎉🎉🎉🎉
On the mango, there's something good about a very ripe mango, but .... a crispy mango, just turning yellow orange, that is stunning. Then green mango, with salt, curry powder, vinager as a dip, ...
It’s not just the maturity, it’s the type that makes the different tastes.
Bangkok number 1 place
Chinatown is looks very nice, need to add to bucket list....
Just fantastic!!
I have gotta tell you - thanks to you, I've changed where I'm staying now, so I can be IN Chinatown!
Woah I could see some shots from the latest iPhone 14! Great way to implement this
Another enjoyable video 👍🏼 Looking forward to our trip next month. Shout out London, UK 🇬🇧
Outstanding Chinatown is absolutely number 1. Patong number 2
I'm not sure what the locations will be, but I'd guess the viewership is 3) UK, 2) Thailand, and 1) US. Seriously, you've included all of the places that I'd add, so I can't wait to see what the three best spots are. Then get up here to Chiang Mai and let me buy you a Leo!
Great honour that UK is in the top 3! BTW congrats to Aussies for winning against Tunisia today although shame you guys didn't quite make to the top 3.
Shark Fin, yes a topic to discuss.
If they used the whole shark instead of throwing back the live animal without fins that would be ok.
Yay! Was waiting for Oz to turn up on the list.😀 I resisted the urge to look ahead. I'm a latecomer to this series, but man, what a phenomenal job you've done on it, Chris! Can't wait to get back to Bangkok. You're an amazing ambassador for Thailand!

My most favourite part of BBK

Thanks for such a great video of Chinatown in Bangkok 👍
Can Hailey do a video on where she buys all her outfits? Her go to stores/ market in Thailand ? Nice video as usual!
Ok, you and your crew are doing a KICKASS job with this list! No need to have a new list EVER in the future!
thanks for the encouragement!
That vegemite squirt absolute legend, I'm coming to the city is a couple of weeks.
Thanks Chris I think I will drop by tomorrow for my first time to the worlds biggest Chinatown
No.3 Chatuchack Weekend Market
hello my friend it is a pleasure to meet your work
I love this VDO Clip.
No. 3 : Khao Saan Road ,
Great to see Boris Becker over in Bangkok just before 10 mins
Australia #4 :). Had a little bet going in our family that we were top 3. I lose, as usual. Loving the series!
Glad us Aussies got no. 4! Woo Hoo! Love ya Chris 🙂
Chinatown well deserved spot, definitely top five. But if you are in Bangkok for four days or more, a floating market should be one of the stops.
Chinatown in Bangkok, is the most fascinating part of the city.
Well I am hoping you moved Chatuchak market to number 3 as that’s where I’m heading today. Keep up the amazing work!
Good vid! Eager to visit again
That thai doughnut is call fried butterfly in Singapore and Malaysia
Thai donuts! Sweeeeet!!! 🤤
I was there a few days ago and opened my eyes to a whole new side of bangkok! Had avoided it for a long time but finally went and it was great! It’s about a 30min walk to Wat Arun and grand palace so that was a bonus 👌 great video
My Lord ... is that you, Jesus?
@@klhilde haha maybe it is
Terrible the shark fin soup. Love you're video's
Beauty champion 🏆 another ripper of a video 😉
Thanks again!
How's the shirts coming Chris ?
@@dean2573 they're coming great......and soon!
Love when foreigners order food in Thai. ❤❤
I'm surprised Australia isn't higher! Australians love Thailand!
Bsngkok touted as World's Best Chinatown
Vegemite lightly spread on toast is the best breakfast
