@@TimTravelTaste So maybe fake news. I don't know it first hand. I read it in this article: www.executivetraveller.com/news/bangkok-airport-bkk-fast-track-arrival-immigration
I confirm, as a Thai person, this clip is the highest quality and best completely information. It explains everything about Bangkok better than I can, even though I am Thai. If anyone asks me about travel plans in Bangkok, I will send them this clip instead of explaining.
As a Thai, I am speechless! This is the best presentation of my city I've ever seen. Not only is it incredibly detailed, but it also includes practical advice like avoiding taxis and scams. I love this video and will be sharing it as a must-watch guide with my friends. Thank you so much!
I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned, but the easiest way to avoid taxi scams is to use Bolt or Grab. You can summon an ordinary car or taxi that way, but knowing the price will be set in the former case and be by the meter in the latter. No haggling required.
When you read Romanized Thai print. Every "Ph" is just a sound of "P" not "F". Phranakorn is "PRAnakorn" not "FRAnakorn", "pom prap sattru phai" will read "pom prap sattru PAI". also "Th" is not pronounce "Th" but "T".
My first trip to Asia was to Bangkok and Phuket. Since then we have been there at least 19 times. On our last day of our vacation, we went to an Italian restaurant…yes Italian. The waitress was probably no older than 16. She skipped to our table. Both food and service was fantastic. The cost of the meal for 2 was about 12USD. I gave her the equivalent of $20 USD. When she came back with the change I motioned for her to keep the change. I spoke very little Thai and she spoke no English. A beautiful smile adorned her face. She put the money in her pouch, placed her hands together, tilted and bowed her head. She took two steps back and repeated the gesture. Honestly, while the sights and tastes of Thailand were more than enough to bring us back, it was that young girls gesture of kindness and thanks that sealed our desire to return. Sadly we never got her name and I can’t remember the restaurant name. I often wonder what became of her and wish her much health, wealth and happiness
@@TimTravelTaste it adds awkwardness and uncertainty to every single transaction. It's very prevalent in the US and turns simple transactions into "should I tip my mechanic? How much?". Why tip a waiter but not a store cashier; they're both paid similarly? Pay people a living wage. Leave the scourge of tipping in your country.
as a Thai, thank you so much for doing this super quality video of Bangkok, wish your channel keep growing up and be the best channel on UA-cam. thank you so much 😊🙏
The perfect video that explains the mega - city. Much appreciate the research effort, curation and sequence of thoughtful topics, production quality and simplicity of the piece. Superbly crafted!
Bangkok has changed beyond belief. I still remember having only one line available and needing to take the various taxi opportunities to reach my destinations. The best video out there. I appreciate your style. You're doing it right. TikTok has proven detrimental to people's attention spans and you managed to find the right ingredients to keep viewers glued to their screens.
I comment very rarely, but your city presentation is the best I've ever seen, and I couldn't resist. I am planning my first visit to Thailand, and in 20min, I know everything I need to, about Bangkok visit. Amazing. I wish any touristy city could be presented like that. I think, that If you make more content like that, your channel will explode. First video with general description of the region and then accompanying videos showing how are the thing in real life. Keep up the good work.
This is the ultimate travel guide and how all of them should be wish someone could do this for other places around the world the visuals along with the information was just stunning in how it's organized
Never seen a video from your channel. But this is the highest travel advaice content about bkk that I have seen ever. Thanks mate. Would you mind doing one for mongers and for cheap charly mongers? You could do one each for people in bkk, phuket, Chiang mai, pattaya and other places. Il watch them all 🫡
Thank you so much 🙏🏻 I could easily do that but this would be the end of this channel. UA-cam would not support that. Maybe I need a Patreon or something like that for this kind of content
Hands down the absolute best clip I’ve watched about travel to Bangkok yet, & I’ve watched quite a few. No longer confused & anxious about the ‘who, what, where, when & how’s.’
Looking to go Thailand for the first time next year and this guide showed up at the right time! Thanks for all the hardwork you put into this to help others navigate their way through Bangkok.
This video with Map Explainer is truly top-notch editing, imo. Nice work, Tim. I'll be in Bkk next month. Lmk if I may barter with you for some editing insight.
This is the #1 essential video for the first time visitor to Bangkok who wants a concise guide to the map, transport, key sites and much more. I’ve watched it multiple times. Pls do a vid like this on every major world city! Thx
@@TimTravelTaste It must be an enormous undertaking to make videos about cities as dense, clear and helpful as this one. But, if you have time and means to do it, you will reach 1M+ subs in no time, and hopefully, the revenue that goes with it. You are really on to something here.
As a Thai spending most of my years in Bangkok I would say your video super informative and helpful especially for the first timer. My little suggestion is maybe you can split your days staying in the hotel both in Old town and in the CBD (Silom/Sukhumvit) for example 1N in OT and 2Ns in CBD or 2 nights each for 4 days trip. And consider Ratchathewi district where Phaya Thai BTS station is located. You can stay at the hotel near Phaya Thai or few BTS stations away from Phaya Thai so it’s connected to the Airport Rail Link you can go back to the airport within 1 hr. The area is relatively less touristy, less scam and easily to transport via BTS green line. Also you can explore Ari district where there are so many good cafes and restaurants and not far from Chatuchak weekend market (Soi Ari at Phahon Yothin road not Ari on Sukhumvit road). There’re lots of things to do and foods to try in Bangkok so you can even spend a week there! Welcome to Bangkok and Thailand guys 😊🇹🇭❤️
Love the video. It's straight to the point and detailed all at once. It summarized my 6 months stay in Bangkok. I love staying in Bangrak/ Sathorn districts.
I'm going to visit Bangkok for the 3rd time and it is an absolute the best video about this city! Thanks a lot for info, I found some attractions I didn't know about.
You have done an amazing VDO. It explains so clearly in many points of view and makes it so much easier for tourists and even Thai people like me to understand. 🙏😊👍
Omg It’s impressive infographic vdo. Very informative and detailed. Even I’m Thai but I don’t know this much. I know you do put effort on this vdo. Good job 👍🏻
Been scratching my head trying to condense an itinerary for a week- long visit. This! Great help. Thank you. So organised, professional, just awesome! 🫡✊
My God, this is ABSOLUTELY fantastic. I wish I had seen this video as I JUST came back from my BKK trip. Granted, I had an incredible time there despite winging it, but for my next trip, I'll be using this video as a guide. I recommend Tara's Place in Phra Nakhon. 10 min walk to Khao San rd, and home to the best massage parlor (legit massage lol, not "happy ending"), and one of the best local Thai restaurants I've eaten at. Massage parlor is called Greenhouse Thai, and restaurant is called "KiN at Samsen". There's a fantastic coffee shop in the immediate area called Suriyon Old Town if you need caffeine. 10/10 would recommend the area I stayed in.
Such a beautifully crafted and organized video. I feel less confused on location of landmarks, malls and night markets vs. the area I’m looking to stay, Soi 8. I will rewatch and make a decision on my accommodations soon. Thank you so much for the time and energy you give to enlightening us.
Damn. As a born-Bangkokian, I'm so impressed by how well this video is made. I don't even know like half of these info. Great job and welcome to Bangkok everyone.
3:25 - All most all foreigners are not aware of this, but you also have the option of using your 'VISA' or 'Mastercard' as payment for any lines of the MRT system. No need for cash, nor to get in line for the token (ticket). Just make sure your card supports EMV (contactless payment) and tap it on the reader at the top of your right-side turnstile gate (look for the EMV symbol) on your way into and out of the system. Please note that some stations (ex. on the Pink Line) may only have 1 EMV reader placed next to the ticket office, not on the turnstiles. However, EMV contactless payment is not available in the BTS Sky Train System. You need to buy a ticket per trip from the machine, or get a stored-value card (Rabbit) from the ticket office, which you can pay with your credit card. Even the city-operated buses (not the private-run ones) in Bangkok accept credit card payment on board. It's OK to just ask the bus conductor first if you can pay the fare with your credit card.
@@rubberroast1598 whenever I don’t know the best route/transportation I check google maps and if this does not help: grab app. If the price is right it’s a very convenient way
I have been watching Thai travel videos for around 3 years, this is best one I have seen. probably the only one you need for Bangkok (that I have spent a lot of time exploring and this video has brought my knowledge together).
I've been to BKK 23 times. Still many places I have not seen. Without doubt, yours is the best instructional travel doc channel I have seen. (your Pattaya episode is also fabulous) I will recommend you to everyone I know will visit Thailand. (as well as those those who might visit ) They MUST subscribe to your channel if they will be in the Land of Smiles and want to optimise their visit. A big thankyou to you for this very professional production.
You did not mention Taxi Apps Grab and Bolt. They give you a set price and no negotiation. The price will be considerably less, and you can use cash as a payment method. Honestly, I have ridden countless motorbikes, and they all have extra helmets you need to ask for them. You can add insurance to The (grab)ride if you are concerned about accidents. Great video for travelers good job
@@lutherjones503 thank you for your feedback. I know these apps and use them too. But I wanted it to be as easy as possible. If I told my father to use an app for a motorbike he would just stop functioning 😂
@TimTravelTaste sick of all these 🛎🔚's waffling on( YT) your 'A.I' explanation was bang on . No offence next time I get asked for tourist information your link is being sent 555
Hi Tim, the most knowledgeable to visit Bangkok. I hope to get lost after I see your videos. Thank you for sharing how to get around the city....!❤😎🍻🎶💕🍻
Wow. Other than a few strange pronunciations (is this AI?) you nailed it and fast. ALL UA-camrs could learn a thing or two about editing from this. No long boring bla bla bla and average camera work. And I don't really want to see your face on a video. Just the facts please. I have transited through BKK 50 times and stayed in it for three or more days 35 times - ish. That's starting in 1993 and MUCH has changed in the way of transport. It was dizzying last time I was there in 2024 to try and figure out the transit options to get to the Coldplay concert but this video nails the systems with easy to understand graphics. BKK has done an amazing job and once the highway to Hua Hin and points south is done one could do a video like this on freeways (though it would really only benefit those of us driving there so probably won't happen). The freeway system (above ground) is somewhat amazing as well. Bang on Tim. I have subscribed. I can forward this to all my friends coming in. One note however....I travel with enough bags to pass on the rail line into the city, still preferring to go to ground level and take a taxi directly to my destination. On this we can disagree. Try going down the from platform level with your bags to street level and then getting a taxi to your final destination. The taxi from the airport (with required 50 baht extra) and tollways is still under 400 baht to the centre. So....why bother if you have bags? Make sure you go outside and go through the line to get a taxi ticket. DO NOT get befuddled into an airport limo taxi service after getting your bags. Those are $$$. I know- you're tired and it's confusing but just get out into the main area and down to ground level and out the door where you will find taxi queues at each end with a ticket person in a booth.Tell them your destination and they assign a driver to you. Take the tollways when asked, pay the tolls and stay above ground. Direct to your hotel door. Do not get taken to ANY shops or stops along the way and demand the meter gets started. If you are obviously new this might be tried. Otherwise you could take that airport line, get off at the end or sooner and go down to street level and hail a taxi but you might find that by the time you get to your hotel you had wished you had gone direct from the airport.
As an expat living here for 29 years this advice is bonkers! Going on the airport link with luggage and jetlag is insane. The taxi service here is so cheap compared to almost enywhere else. Just get a taxi to your hotel, shower, rest and then use BTS (sky train) to get around the next day.
@@Fighting_Irish184 Another insane advice: try traveling without luggage and sleeping while on the plane. Makes the airport rail link a breath of fresh air 🍀
International flights can use both SAT-1 and main concourse at BKK, not just SAT-1, plus, DMK has international arrivals too. As a Thai, this is the best video I've found about Bangkok so far, so informative and covers tourists every need!
DMK is completely irrelevant for my english speaking audience. 99% of the connections are in asia. No one from europe/africa/north america, south america, arab nations and so on will ever arrive there. They arrive at BKK. That’s why they built the new terminal. And that’s why DMK is Bangkok’s mainly domestic airport.
@@TimTravelTaste Flights from Europe actually do arrive into DMK now, as well as Australian flights, with Thai AirAsia. By the start of 2025, more flights from Europe will be arriving/departing from DMK with RC Airlines. Charter flights from the USA, and Africa also land at DMK. The new terminal is actually mainly for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean flights, with the exception of 2 European routes operated by Thai Airways (Oslo and Copenhagen- and these often use the main concourse anyway).
@@TimTravelTaste And if they fly domestically from Bangkok, there's a high chance they will depart out of DMK, if they're with Thai AirAsia, Nok Air, Thai Lion Air, or Bangkok Airways (to Samui only)

Just make sure your card supports EMV (contactless payment) and tap it on the reader at the top of your right-side turnstile gate (look for the EMV symbol) on your way into and out of the system. Please note that some stations (ex. on the Pink Line) may only have 1 EMV reader placed next to the ticket office, not on the turnstiles.
However, EMV contactless payment is not available in the BTS Sky Train System. You need to buy a ticket per trip from the machine, or get a stored-value card (Rabbit) from the ticket office, which you can pay with your credit card.
Even the city-operated buses (not the private-run ones) in Bangkok accept credit card payment on board. It's OK to just ask the bus conductor first if you can pay the fare with your credit card.
@@611moop superb addition 👍🏻
Great information!! Thanks😊😊
@@TSUNAMICali Thank you!
awesome thanks. Im going next month. How could i get to the cruiseport which is 1.5 hr drive south?
@@rubberroast1598 whenever I don’t know the best route/transportation I check google maps and if this does not help: grab app. If the price is right it’s a very convenient way
Wow one of the best Bangkok travel guides I have ever seen. Alot of information and very compact thanks
@@mmamommamo6152 made my day! Thank you very much 🙏🏻
This video is incredible 🤩
Thank you very much 🙏🏻
I have been watching Thai travel videos for around 3 years, this is best one I have seen. probably the only one you need for Bangkok (that I have spent a lot of time exploring and this video has brought my knowledge together).
What a wonderful feedback 🤩 thank you so much 🙏🏻
@@TimTravelTaste I agree with @robert9662 - Well done Tim. MORE of this please. Straight to the point, well explained with maps and location. The best
@@nomad.legacy thank you for your feedback 🙏🏻
New subscriber here.. going to thailand next month and this is a great guide! More power to you!!
@@gel3519 thank you so much for your support 🙏🏻
10:13 ".. who want to mingle with western tourists" no thank you. While I am in Thailand, I want to mingle with the locals.
Me too!
I've been to BKK 23 times. Still many places I have not seen.
Without doubt, yours is the best instructional travel doc channel I have seen. (your Pattaya episode is also fabulous)
I will recommend you to everyone I know will visit Thailand. (as well as those those who might visit )
They MUST subscribe to your channel if they will be in the Land of Smiles and want to optimise their visit.
A big thankyou to you for this very professional production.

Such a well put guide!

Wow fantastic video. Thank you
@@ruanhattingh thank you so much 🙏🏻
You did not mention Taxi Apps Grab and Bolt. They give you a set price and no negotiation. The price will be considerably less, and you can use cash as a payment method. Honestly, I have ridden countless motorbikes, and they all have extra helmets you need to ask for them. You can add insurance to
The (grab)ride if you are concerned about accidents. Great video for travelers good job
@@lutherjones503 thank you for your feedback. I know these apps and use them too. But I wanted it to be as easy as possible. If I told my father to use an app for a motorbike he would just stop functioning 😂

Hi Tim, the most knowledgeable to visit Bangkok. I hope to get lost after I see your videos. Thank you for sharing how to get around the city....!❤😎🍻🎶💕🍻

Great work!
@@jacknoris-f1y thank you so much 🙌🏻
Wow. Other than a few strange pronunciations (is this AI?) you nailed it and fast. ALL UA-camrs could learn a thing or two about editing from this. No long boring bla bla bla and average camera work. And I don't really want to see your face on a video. Just the facts please. I have transited through BKK 50 times and stayed in it for three or more days 35 times - ish. That's starting in 1993 and MUCH has changed in the way of transport. It was dizzying last time I was there in 2024 to try and figure out the transit options to get to the Coldplay concert but this video nails the systems with easy to understand graphics. BKK has done an amazing job and once the highway to Hua Hin and points south is done one could do a video like this on freeways (though it would really only benefit those of us driving there so probably won't happen). The freeway system (above ground) is somewhat amazing as well. Bang on Tim. I have subscribed. I can forward this to all my friends coming in. One note however....I travel with enough bags to pass on the rail line into the city, still preferring to go to ground level and take a taxi directly to my destination. On this we can disagree. Try going down the from platform level with your bags to street level and then getting a taxi to your final destination. The taxi from the airport (with required 50 baht extra) and tollways is still under 400 baht to the centre. So....why bother if you have bags? Make sure you go outside and go through the line to get a taxi ticket. DO NOT get befuddled into an airport limo taxi service after getting your bags. Those are $$$. I know- you're tired and it's confusing but just get out into the main area and down to ground level and out the door where you will find taxi queues at each end with a ticket person in a booth.Tell them your destination and they assign a driver to you. Take the tollways when asked, pay the tolls and stay above ground. Direct to your hotel door. Do not get taken to ANY shops or stops along the way and demand the meter gets started. If you are obviously new this might be tried. Otherwise you could take that airport line, get off at the end or sooner and go down to street level and hail a taxi but you might find that by the time you get to your hotel you had wished you had gone direct from the airport.
@@mrgreen1198 thanks for liking 🙏🏻
This is impressive. Even me as a thai who live in province near bangkok cannot explain like this. Salute!😊😊
thank you so much! 🙏
Another informative video, thanks.

Best video ever!
Thanks alot ❤
YOU LEGEND! Thank you for this very informative
@@tc2664 wow 🤩 thank you! 🙏🏻
As an expat living here for 29 years this advice is bonkers! Going on the airport link with luggage and jetlag is insane. The taxi service here is so cheap compared to almost enywhere else. Just get a taxi to your hotel, shower, rest and then use BTS (sky train) to get around the next day.
@@Fighting_Irish184 Another insane advice: try traveling without luggage and sleeping while on the plane. Makes the airport rail link a breath of fresh air 🍀
International flights can use both SAT-1 and main concourse at BKK, not just SAT-1, plus, DMK has international arrivals too.
As a Thai, this is the best video I've found about Bangkok so far, so informative and covers tourists every need!
DMK is completely irrelevant for my english speaking audience. 99% of the connections are in asia. No one from europe/africa/north america, south america, arab nations and so on will ever arrive there. They arrive at BKK. That’s why they built the new terminal. And that’s why DMK is Bangkok’s mainly domestic airport.
@@TimTravelTaste
Flights from Europe actually do arrive into DMK now, as well as Australian flights, with Thai AirAsia. By the start of 2025, more flights from Europe will be arriving/departing from DMK with RC Airlines.
Charter flights from the USA, and Africa also land at DMK.
The new terminal is actually mainly for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean flights, with the exception of 2 European routes operated by Thai Airways (Oslo and Copenhagen- and these often use the main concourse anyway).
@@TimTravelTaste And if they fly domestically from Bangkok, there's a high chance they will depart out of DMK, if they're with Thai AirAsia, Nok Air, Thai Lion Air, or Bangkok Airways (to Samui only)
@tg916.th.21 that is such an expert level. I cannot compete. Thank you for taking your time to add this information to the comment section. It helps alot. Especially as it is impossible to do research on the internet to double check facts. Thanks alot for your service 🙌🏻
