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.
@@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!!!
@@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
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!
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 😂
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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
I really like a lot of your material and hate none of it. My husband likes your humor/wit, presentation , production and interesting facts. And I feel nostalgic, fascinated and often surprised by what you share. Thanx and Cheers!
Thank you Pat for another Bangkok down the memory lane. Bangkapi was my home for several years until covid kicked me out.Just wanted to add that another mile or so from Lam sa Lee intersection up Ramkhamhaeng Rd (inbound) is the Na Ram (Front Ram) or Ram 1 (University) area, including ABAC university back-ending in Lang Ram (Back Ram). To me it's the Latin Quarter (or Berkeley, Calif.) of Bangkok. Lively, young, eclectic and of course cheap.
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!
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 :)
@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
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.
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 💯👍🏾
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?)
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.
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.....
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.
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.
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.
You should do a video dedicated to the Pink Line once it opens next month. And make sure to come and visit my neighborhood, Lak Si, again as the video for it was, I would say, too short, and you only did cover mere area around the intersection, while excluding other interesting parts in the somewhat big district, in the process. Anyway, thanks for showing more obscure places to farangs and Thai, like me, alike.👍
Cheers for the support, I only ever diid a 5min run through of Laksi for my Red Line video and it will get a deserved proper video sometime hopefully soon.
Your videos are so interesting and very addictive. I have lived in the Nana area since 2003 and you bring back some of the memories I had forgotten about, and so much interesting stuff, I didn't know about. I also love getting around the canals, it's great that you can now step onto the canal boats, instead of climbing over the plastic screen while the boat is moving lol. Have you ever come across a guy who draws weird, very detailed mindmap-type diagrams on the pavements? He's homeless apparently, and used to hang about on the Green Mile, years back. I have seen videos of him all over the city, especially in the old part of town.
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.
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!
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. 👌
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.
Very nice. You could continue down to my neighborhood, near Rmkhamhaeng University and Ram 24. It is still Bangkapi but different from areas near the mall. The reason why I mention it is because someone else did a walkthrough a few years back that was not very complimentary. It seemed that people were quite put off by it. It has since been removed :)
I have been down Ram 24 for an early video, certainly wasn't rude, whoever would do that is obviously trying to shock people, and knows nothing of the true charm of that neighbourhood around the SAT....I do intend to visit again, as last time was the height of the virus and everything was closed but I did my best.
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 👍👍
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 😉
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.
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.
Another belter pat, you are one of those people who makes the mundane interesting, not that this place isn't because it is (doh) just love these videos, BKK Pat for the BBC I say! Bravo
Thanks mate, this area is surprisingly very good in that it's nicely laid out and easy to get from one part to another without risking being hit by a car, and the canal through the middle of it is like another little oasis away from the noise and chaos!
@@BangkokPat yes mate looks like a future up and coming district, I remember saying that in jomtien beach 1990, and here I am back for a few weeks, all the best
Thanks Pat, this was a great vid for me as I have been coming to Bangkok every year for many years with work and usually stay in Bangkapi at the Pantip Hotel right next to a wet market. Never knew there was so much around there and now I really must get out and have a proper look around.Thanks again...
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🙏🏻
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
Like this video a lot, thank you so much for all the information, in fact l should say ‘knowledge’ , like you said in the video “ educational “ which is what makes UA-cam great. 👍
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.

King Khlong! Famtastic name 🐵🐵🐵
@@BangkokPat I knew you'd go a bit Ape over that one mate 😉
Great stuff as allways!
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.
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.
East Side of Bangkok!!! Great Vid.
Thanks! 😃
Great presentation pat
Very enjoyable
always are very informative video of bangkok !
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.
Another belter pat, you are one of those people who makes the mundane interesting, not that this place isn't because it is (doh) just love these videos, BKK Pat for the BBC I say! Bravo
Thanks mate, this area is surprisingly very good in that it's nicely laid out and easy to get from one part to another without risking being hit by a car, and the canal through the middle of it is like another little oasis away from the noise and chaos!
@@BangkokPat yes mate looks like a future up and coming district, I remember saying that in jomtien beach 1990, and here I am back for a few weeks, all the best
Excellent 👌👌👌
Thanks Pat, this was a great vid for me as I have been coming to Bangkok every year for many years with work and usually stay in Bangkapi at the Pantip Hotel right next to a wet market. Never knew there was so much around there and now I really must get out and have a proper look around.Thanks again...
Another great vid. When i have 5 mons i want to go on one of your tours
Greetings from the Pullman, Khon Kaen!
Hope the beds are comfortable!
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🙏🏻
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...
Last time I was in Bangkapi, I was at Happy Land and the Sirichok Mansions. Talk about sticking out like a sore thumb!.
You would, but it's also great to be a novelty!
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.
i really like this clip
I am grow up at Bangkapi
That’s throw back my time.
as usual a very interesting video and great commentary.
Glad to see you out and about again! Hope you’re not having any issues after your dog attack.
None at all, l can outrun them now!🐺🐺🐺
Thanks for sharing Pat
Totally Fascinating,Brilliant Vid.Thanks Pat.👍
Glad you enjoyed it Pete, cheers.
Like this video a lot, thank you so much for all the information, in fact l should say ‘knowledge’ , like you said in the video “ educational “ which is what makes UA-cam great. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you very much 😻😻😻
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!
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.
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
