- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Bangkapi is Bangkok's future hub of almost everything. Construction is rampant, condos are going up, new MRT lines are opening, canal boats zoom in and out, there's also lots of shopping, food, markets, hotels, parks, and of course lots of local history. From Happy Land to Seri Thai, canals to old airplanes, Bangkok's first housing estate, and of course a few scary dogs. Enjoy!

You don't need AI to go for a deep dive into the diverse neighborhoods of Bangkok. Bangkok Pat has become the unofficial Bangkok Historian whose videos provide the background and context of the places he covers. This enhances the experiences of viewing. What I like is how Pat weaves the local history and personalties into stories of the present. His storytelling abilities are excellent and you won't find a better guide to the city than on his channel.
Thanks Chris, wait til my next story comes out, you'll be very impressed mate.
Deep history and deep geography are some of my favorite narcotics. Cheers!
@@supreeyakritsaneephaiboon2304 Just like I collect Bangkok canals and others collect porn clips!
Should never use AI!!!
@@DT-gs3wi Someone I know tried to be clever and said ''Look you don.t need to keep doing all the research" then tried showing me how ''convenient'' Chat GPT is...it was a load of crap
I don’t know why this channel doesn’t have over 100k subs.. this is definitely one of the best channels about BKK, so many things to explore that you’d never think about on your own.. I will be there on August 8th for 3 weeks!!!
I appreciate that compliment cheers mate. I think my content too geeky for the mainstream anyway.
Agree, was thinking the same 😊
@@BangkokPat geeks and nerds know their stuff compared to ones been living in a condo in say Asoke for 6 months know everything about Bangkok I'm sick of klong toey slum videos only you have shown the real klong toey people don't realize Nana is part of klong toey there's 4 districts only you have spoken and showed the how the port and the bars were the semen hung out 😊❤
@@BangkokPat I was going to say the same, then I saw your comment. Totally for nerds which I am. Great stuff and makes me realize how very little I know about Bangkok.
I just moved to Bang Kapi and it's pretty nice so far. Even without the new MRT you can take the boat in 30min to Sukhumvit for 20 baht or so. Hotels are super cheap. New budget hotels with nice and clean interiors for less than 500 baht. Many hotels have a deal when you stay 5 nights you only pay 380 baht/night. The monthly rent for a small furnished serviced apartment was 6000 baht.
The klongs are polluted with sewage and stink !! Bus no 8 or other buses will take you to the MRT on Lad Phrao road will take you to Sukhumvit or, a taxi via Ramkhamhaeng road but not during rush hour is fast
Boats obviously cramp your high end style!!! Cheers
@@smokefromsevenorifices8782Have you ridden the #8 recently?. Man o man, the memories!.
@@mrdm1967ify I there about 4 different buses from the Mall Bangkapi to the MRT on Lad Phrao
@@smokefromsevenorifices8782 I rather ride the klong river taxis beats traffic
As a Thai, and Bangkokian, you know Thailand so well and you do know Bangkok better I do
Thank for the kind compliment, I am half Thai but yes I do like exploring this city.
Been catching up today on videos I’ve not watched always fantastic viewing keep up the good work 👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀
Thank you VERY much for this tour of Bangkok. I enjoyed it all and as someone who has spent most of his time in the Nana area I learned again how much this town has to offer in many other places than the most visited.
Absolute pleasure, lovely area to explore and wish I could have done much more but there's always the neighbouring areas like Ramkhamhaeng that I plan to do very soon. Cheers!
Another cracking vlog Pat. Enjoyed every minute as I always do. Never get bored watching your vlogs as they are so thoughtfully constructed and executed. 👏.Looking forward to whatever is coming next.
That "transformer"! Looks like by the time he got to making the head he just gave up. Hahahahaha.
They just drew it with pen.....total anticlimax
Other Thailand vloggers pale into insignifcance compared to you mate. Another well researched gem
Cheers Daz😻
Great Video BKK Pat, thank you for another awesome video my friend 🙂
Yikes @ 2:11!!! Even for Thailand, “The Land of Wires,” that’s a LOT of wires! Lol. Awesome shot!!! Also, at 5:48!!!
A lot of wires worthy of filming, still trying to find the perfect mess!
25:03 ... That is art ... No painter could do it better
Thanks for the nice music, too
It may be seen as art once it's all gone and the cable put underground, people may start reminiscing!
Another comprehensive and fascinating deep dive into Bangkok’s neighborhoods. Nicely done.
Another informative and enjoyable video Pat, thank you. aka JG in TX.
Always interesting content and in depth review of an area to allow us as viewers to make positive choices if we intend to move to Thailand at any future time…Thanks Pat 💯👍🏾
Cheers, l aim to be as thorough as l can in every place l go to!
Enjoyed this one. I lived out there in the 90s, and it has changed so much. I was back in Jan. of 2023, touring around with friends who live out in Mooban Sammakorn.
Thanks for the new view.
Cheers, it's not the wilderness it was in the past, some lovely moobans up towards Minburi as you know. Orange Line will be very useful.
We own a house in Mooban Sammakorn! I can’t wait for the train line to open. I believe it will open by the end of the year!
Bang Kapi is my secret spot. I can’t believe you found Happyland Center. So advanced.
You can tell Pat once worked in the DJ business based on his exquisite music selection during the video interludes between narrative segments.
I’ve taken the canal boat from the mall bankapi to Nai Lert. Excellent way to travel distances in Bangkok
i really like this clip
I am grow up at Bangkapi
That’s throw back my time.
Just moved across the city having lived in Bang Kapi for 2 years. This is a really good and authentic review of the area. Some cool bars near ABAC University. The canals are amazing for walking, cycling and getting into the city via the klong boats. As you mention, some great parks in the local area too.
Great one Pat, I’m going to venture out that way on my next round of visits to BKK. Much thanks!
Have fun! It's quite easy to find the canal and park via google, electric boat ride is chilled if you want to see the quieter suburbs!
@@BangkokPat Thanks Pat.
Looks like a nice neighborhood. Your videos make a clear difference to other tubers, thanks for your way of storytelling. It’s a pleasure to listen and to watch🙏🏻
If you’re looking for a very local living experience in Bangkok try Bang kapi. This area is where most normal Thais could afford the housing.
I lived in Bang kapi for two years, while attending University a nice area of Bangkok, nice the rain season isnt great but I love the food around Bang kapi mall thx Pat
Great to watch your video. I married my wife 23 years ago at Bangkapi Municipality Office and lived on Lad Prao. It looks so different now. Keep up the great work Pat, loving your videos.
Thanks for sharing Pat
Thanks for the most interesting Bangkok UA-cam channel. Even though we live here about half the time, your videos help us so much. Please, keep on!
Happy to hear that Andy, I've only covered a fraction of this city so far!
I loved this place and there nice houses near the ramkhamhaeng sois.....but the traffic jams .....
Lots of good reasonably priced houses to rent along there. But yeah, traffic not fun.
Infotainment at its best as usual, Pat, wow you truely are a living encyclopedia of Bangkok`s history. I`m deeply impressed.
Thanks mate for the compliment and l've learned a new word! 😎😻
Great stuff as allways!
Hi Pat, I subscribed after seeing you and Rob from Project Bangkok. I really like your style in presentation and things you share and show. Greetings from Australia
Great to hear that Scott, welcome and do catch up on some older videos!
Thanks for the video. You are knowledgeable who know better than most of Thais.
Seri park is beautiful & has a calming effect for the mind. Thanks, Pat, for the things you had to do to get us this excellent episode. 👍🙏
A lot canal walking and boats to get this video done but I think I have one of the best jobs in the world!
0:16in, hope you didn't miss the bus m8! 10:12in these electric boats are really quiet. Think we've been past the Seri Thai Gardens, unless there are other Rotundas like that elsewhere? Bus 8, Yeh. Interesting walkabout Pat Thanks m8!
Cheers Greg, for the kind support, there are a couple of smaller parks round there, around lakes but best one is Seri Thai Gardens
Another great vid. When i have 5 mons i want to go on one of your tours
Men At Work - Down Under
Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water.....🤣🤣
I remember those songs.
Thanks for the video Pat 👍👍
Classics of yesteryear. I made up the Simon & Garfunkel joke on the spot...
Totally Fascinating,Brilliant Vid.Thanks Pat.👍
Glad you enjoyed it Pete, cheers.
Excellent video ; very informative and well presented.
Cheers Paul 😻
Great history. New to this channel. Thank you for sharing your knowlege. Beautiful country.
Glad you found the channel Michael, and thanks. Hope you get time to catch up on many older videos too!
loved it, as usual. Might need to incorporate Bang Kapi into my next trip!
It's a bit of a detour but it could be part of a ride along the Yellow Line which offers good views looking into Bangkok from the suburbs
Great video on one of my favourite areas of Bangkok.
There's nothing geeky about your love and knowledge of the cities canals. I'm so impressed I've officially named you King Khlong 😉
King Khlong! Famtastic name 🐵🐵🐵
@@BangkokPat I knew you'd go a bit Ape over that one mate 😉
East Side of Bangkok!!! Great Vid.
Thanks! 😃
Great to see you back Pat, thought you must have got lost, looks like a must see area. Interesting to see that the locals are still hanging onto those face nappies.
Cheers Brian, they didn't get the memo about the virus being last years news, shame because more awareness and the idea of moving forward could have also meant a new government, if you catch my drift.
Always find giving the historical background of an area makes it all the more informative. That tidbit about WWII I found especially interesting.
Excellent overview and history.
I visited the area, several times about 3 years ago via Canal Taxi, which I always enjoyed from Sukhumvit Soi 71 to Bang Krapi Mall. One day it will be a less congested area.
Another quality documentary, Pat. Good pace, good editing and so much more informative about the city than other youtubers. I'm hoping to book a walking tour before xmas if I can finally make it over. If not, some time in the new year. Keep up the good work.
Cheers Mark, glad you liked it, if you get to Bkk anytime soon or at Xmas let me know!
Another great video, I will be there on the 14th September.🇹🇭
As usual Mr Pat, thoroughly enjoyable to watch.
As always. Your videos are just awesome. What a list of historic information. It must take you days, weeks and months to get all this together for a single video. Well done.
PS: I do love that Bangkok is building so much public transit, showing that it helps to grow a city, enabling everybody to go anywhere.
Hi Pat, Haven't commented for ages but simply had to for this one, great content mate, it must have taken a few days to get all the footage together, great episode!
Thanks 👍It was a lot of fun exploring and filming this, must have been the canals and lovely park that did it, and the fact that it's now just 20mins by MRT!
Excellent mate thanks
It would be interesting to know more about the area surrounding the New Lumpini Stadium, now that Pink Line is operational..namely around Lat Pla Khao and Ram Inthra mrt stations. This is absolutely the best channel on Bangkok
I did a video on the Bang Khen area which covered that, take a look through my back catalogue...
24:00 - I loved that joke and still it still pops into my mind from time to time doing random things...🙂
The bridge over troubled water was quite lame really in comparison, my apologies....😬
@@BangkokPat Agreed, but never mind - you can't win em all...🙂
A++. Thanks for another great lesson by our geography professor Dr. Bkk Pat
My pleasure and many thanks to you too. I often claim to be a professor, you can ask May, she'll tell of my wild claims of professorism....(is that a word?)
Thank you for this interesting video, Pat. I spent 15 years living in Bangkapi and the video brought back so many memories of a fabulous time that I spent there. On my first ever visit to Thailand in 1985, we drove up Ramkhamhaeng Road and beyond Happy Land, the road petered out to a single untarmac'd cart track surrounded by rice fields. Today, that road is a multi-laned highway and totally built up as your video shows. And how that area has changed! I visited there last November after a a six year absence. You'd think after 15 years I would still recognise the area as I used to go to the Mall several times a week. But when my daughter drove me there, I could not recognise a single building nor a single street until we were bang outside the Mall itself. I think the old Bangkapi is still there, tucked away down the small sois and along the canals, but the new cannot be resisted and change is a constant. Such happy days, so many happy memories.
I first went in 2002 and there are a few small changes but in the 80s l can't imagine how different it was, that photo l talked about from 1981 sums it up!
I needed a plaster for my finger and as it was the days before 7-11 , I went into a local mom and pop store and they sold me, not a pack, but a single plaster for one baht!
Love your videos. So informative.
Cheers Mikey😻
Another class video. Cheers Pat
Thanks Jack 😻😎
Pat, you're back at your game 😊
Cheers mate
another great video
Great content. As one of Thai living near Krungthep Kreetha area. I love how you make this video. Superb editing. 🎉 Already subscribed and look forward to your new vids!
Thank you @charatchukiat, see you on the next vids...🎉🎉😊
Thank you so much and glad you liked it, that's a very cool and underrated neighbourhood and I really liked exploring, I first visited that area in 2002 and always had interesting memories, now finally I did the video!
Your Kidding My Thai Mates Home. Love the place
Great neighbourhood, always liked visiting, it feels so chaotic but is actually quite organised!
Thanks!
Thanks a lot Daniel for the support!
Another winner, Bangkok Pat justs gets better and better.
What a Very Interesting Video with your Historical Information. I know this area, but learning more now. My Compliments Pat. 🙏
Thanks very much Gert 😎
Bangkapi is quite interesting. I was there too and film around this area and also take the yellow line which let me end with some mixed feelings about monorails. Good Video Mate :)
Great area for finding unusual things and surprises. Loved filming and exploring for this video🐱
@BangkokPat wait for my bangkapi video mate. I come with khlong boat and walk through this area, took the yellow line and wonder about the bumpy drive with this monorail
another great video!!
Packed with nuggets but Pat missed what residents find most attractive. Between Bang Kapi and Ratchada is land&house subarbia where we pick mangoes off our trees and the loudest noise is someone's annoying cockerell. New train lines make it easier and more pleasant to travel.
I could have packed another 30mins of nuggets in there!
Snopp Dogg! Was the first word that popped in my head when you said; Deez Nuts" 😂
Glad to hear that, I just had to get 'nutsack' and 'deez nuts' in somehow as a tribute to Dre & Snoop!
@@BangkokPat Love it!
Alot of effort goes into your videos. Great job. Thank you.
Thanks Steve😻
Hey Pat! Thanks for all your great videos. I’m not sure this area you featured is right for me. You didn’t show a single Starbucks! And no co-working space? No sushi bar? Impossible to live! Geez! Lol. Bill
Great video Pat... Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Bill 😻😻😻
There used to be a food market, night restaurants with live Thai bands and other entertainment over 5 years ago on 2 Happy Land but they were forced to move away as the land will be used to build a condo block. Though there is still a covered foodcourt and the Happy Land mall opposite the Mall Bangkapi.
I saw the empty bit of prime land on Happyland and thought as much, the Happy Street area is great for food and t-shirts, as l found while doing this video.....
The Happy Land food market moved to Seri Thai 41. Opposite the Mall is N Mark Plaza Happy Street is behind that and is connected by a walkway.
Great work Pat. Love the Bangkapi area, used to sometimes walk there from Minburi. Sometimes have a beer at Drama Cafe on the side road between the indoor market by the Mall and where Makro is on Lat Phrao Road. This video inspired me to take the Yellow Line there on Sunday back from town via the mrt to go market shopping with my wife. Sad to see the market next to the Mall, with so many vacant stalls when it once teaming. Happy Land Mall has some amazing bargains for those struggling with cash.
Excellent video, Pat. I used to take the canal boat from Asok to Bangkapi Mall and then walked to the market for some cheap fruit. Had my backpack full of fruits on the way back. But it was many years ago. Feel like doing it again. Thanks for some nice memories.
Cheers mate, has a few good memories for me too, always been a bit far out but the boat very convenient except when raining in rush hour!
Another great video!
Thanks a lot mate, appreciate it 😻😻
Wow, I’ve been waiting a long time I was worried something bad happened to you. 😅
Very enjoyable video Pat , may have to pay a visit here ..
I spent 4-5 months in Bang Kapi last year. Met several thai but also cambodian and lao girls. Tawanna is great for food
Your one of those few youtubers who feature Thailand that bring myriad info concerning canals of Bangkok to which I am greatly amused with. Keep it up. 👌
There are many videos about Khrung Thep Maha Nakhon on yt, but none provide such a detailed background as yours, by far.
Excellent pre- and post-production work there.
Thanks for the kind words Serge! I work hard on these videos and love this job!
@@BangkokPat rewatching that episode as we speak. There is so much to digest
Excellent 👌👌👌
great video Pat
Great video Pat, really interesting about the war history regarding the Japanese. I was in Bangers earlier in May and by chance struck up a conversation with a Thai lady who turned out to be a school teacher, she was well impressed with my knowledge of Bangkok history and related topics, even more supprised where I learned it from 👍👍
Good to hear that Tony, hope she subscribed!!!?😎
Pat I stayed on that housing estate 2500 per month it was a lovely Neighbourhood really friendly people a thai man who became a lawyer was born there and bought two of them for 800 000 and made a bigger place he would by ice cream for the whole block every Sunday or Saturday I actually only spent £700 per month and lived really well 😂
Interesting thanks for sharing.
The canal boats were one of my favorite things to do in Bkk. Just got back. I thought they were a blast !
Really enjoy your channel....been going to BKK for years and never really ventured into this side. Just might next, thanks to your channel and the yellow line ;)
Great peice of work Pat 😎👍🐱👤
Cheers mate😎
Bangkok Pat, an interesting video hope to visit Bangkok in October 😎👍
I'll take you on a tour of some of Bangkok's most adventurous suburbs!
So good 😊😊😊
I love it very educational to learn about my home towns Bangkok. I was born 464 lim khlong samsam makkasan Bangkok. I only live in Thailand 20 years and in the United States 54 years mostly I did learn about united States and Europe countries not to too much about the country I was born in .
I absolutely appreciate you for sharing your excellent information about the city of Bangkok.
Fasinating history and outstanding research (even if some of it was googled 😊) again Pat especially the about the Seri Thai movement during WW2. With that goatee you seem to be cultivating, I reckon the security guards at The Mall probably thought you were some shady character from a Christopher G Moore novel 😊
I have to google some info, how smart do you think l am!!!! I will elaborate on the WW2 in a further video.....
Really welcome your coverage of other areas in BKK, there is an over-supply of Asoke to Soi 5 Suhkumvit Road.
Thanks, what you said is precisely why I go to these unsung locations in this city. It's more of an adventure.
@@BangkokPat Yes, and you also provide interesting perspective - historical or other facets, that make your descriptions enjoyable.
What a great video. So much information to digest. Particularly interesting the bit about WWII and the resistance. Thanks!
Good video, well done.
Nice video. Always interesting to see new areas of Bangkok.
This was my ol 'hood. My fine other half n I lived right in the middle of the Rattana Bundit Uni. area, a short taxi bike ride to Happy Land and Mall Bang Khapi. It was a really nice culture mash up and a cheap easy 40 min. khlong boat ride to down town.
I've noticed quite a few had this area as their 'hood at some point, from a couple of months to over a decade. Only very few had bad things to say about it!
I still have a good memory of my parents bringing me and my brother to that Happy Land amusement park through our early teen years. It was quite a journey from our house in mid Sukhumvit then. Not been there often nowadays.
Interesting ….. Thanks. RL
