@@BackpackerBenwhat’s the next stop????? By the way never seen you in Bulgaria yet xd only the bold one I think visit once xd we have some mosaic around xd
I've been in Chittagong for roughly six hours and it was chaotic as well. Garbage everywhere, people, bikes, cars, cows all mixed on the streets, mutilated kids following our 3 wheel taxi barefoot, old women begging on the side of the street and then in the middle of all this, a limo looking car stopping by a hotel and a couple dressed up in luxurious cloths entering it for dinner (I know cause we also ate there). I bought some cool things for a good price at the local indoor market. A golden ring, some leather and snake bags and a beautiful sharee. Then the taxi driver stole my shopped items that he had stored under his seat, claiming later that he had no idea, but after a good fight with the port authorities they were "magically" found. Also, I will never forget a woman sitting on the rocks by the river, soaking a cloth in some yellowish water that was coming out of the rocks from some factory on the back and then squeezing this liquid into a bucket. To this day I don't know what it was but it was something that she was obviously doing for her living, she would get some money for it. While leaving, I gave her an envelope with some money inside through some guy (it was the advive to give money if I want right before I leave so that not plenty of beggars would follow me around) and I'll never forget that she looked inside thw envelope, FIRST thanked God by making dua and THEN thanked me by waving her hand and smiling. It moved me deeply that she thanked God first. Ah.. Bangladesh.. A unique experience. Like a parallel universe of some kind. When I went back to silence I needed time to get my senses back to my reality.
@@BackpackerBen yes indeed.. 😔 And from my understanding during this very short time, there is no middle class. Just very poor or very rich. At least In Chittagong, I don't know about Dhaka.
Sorry to hear about your experience in Bangladesh.Even as a Bangladeshi I won't recommend anyone to visit bangladesh . Although Bangladesh has many beautiful places and great cuisine, it's overpopulated ,dirty and chaotic.Traffic jams are a daily thing on the roads of bangladesh.That's so annoying not only for tourists but also for us .Our government should take action to make our country tourist friendly.
@@JubayerAhmed-dy8qf Thank you for acknowledging the situation and actually care for your own country instead of denying reality. Yes, the government shouldm make it local friendly first and foremost and then consequently tourist friendly. Take care ✌❤
Just watching all that chaos, noise, humidity and mayhem is enough for me, nevermind actually being there in person! Massive respect to you bro, honestly your "real" travel videos are world class as you make us feel like we're actually there with you and your humour always makes me laugh. Nothing better than seeing a new Ben and Bald adventure on my UA-cam feed. 10/10 mate, big love.
Yes its may chaotic for u as your aren’t used to of it. We have lots to do in our country. But the truth is our motherland is just everything for us because we owned this land after huge bloodshed
Bloody ell Ben. It was stressing me out just watching this. The noise is insane but adding in the heat, sweat and mass of humanity I’d never cope there. Fair play Ben. This was like an extreme endurance event. I’m glad you made it out safe 💯💯
Came here from Bald's channel. It's nice to get another perspective on your trips, and also on Bald. He's definitely editing in a way to depict you as the comical grumpy relief of your trips, I hope you can show us some exclusive footage he's trying to hide from us ;)
I went downstairs to make coffee in the middle of watching this and the silence was deafening. The amount of square footage the average American (and I'm assuming brit and most westerners) have to themselves is something we take for granted every moment of our lives. An entire 2-acres of land with no one else but my parents and my dog, and it feels appropriate. Yet seeing these people shoulder to shoulder, butts to nuts, everywhere they go - it's wild. They seem happier somehow than most people I see every day, so good for them. A beautiful thing to see.
Thank you Ben for visiting the country, I know it's a total chaos and everything but that's part of the life around here, even as a Bangladeshi I will avoid those local trains at all cost, they're the worst and I've had that experiecen once in my lifetime and that was more than enough lol, Bangladesh is not a very foreign tourist friendly couyntry, so not much tour destinations for foreign travelers, but I know many people just come here to experience the raw Dhaka/Bangladesh as both of you did, I'm just gonna say this if you can survive Dhaka/Bangladesh you can survive anywhere in the world haha, cheers!
It's lovely to see Ben's dad back on tour with him. Try to keep him out of trouble, like that time he absent-mindedly walked into a Russian space base.
@@budyeddi5814 no really. Do you rember him causing an accident in when Vietnam? Then just laughed it off. Comes off as a 100% selfish weirdo. Ben's in bad company.
I can't imagine the hecticness you and Bald faced. I myself might not survive such crowds, and I come from a quite densely populated country too. Shout out to you both for getting through it all. I'd suggest coming to Indonesia next time, maybe I'd be happy to guide u guys through it too.
Bald screaming to the ticket seller 'YES we want the local train please" was so funny. I mean the guy was trying to save you guys some trouble but you guys were like "No, we want crap please" lol.
Thought i was watching a Idiot Abroad, poor english people suffering with Johnny foreigners. Learn in Bengali i don't speak Bengali not shout "speak english" Duḥkhita āmi bānlā balatē pāri nā
My head is spinning after watching these Bangladesh adventures. Just amazed what people put up with in their everyday reality. Its important for first worlders to understand these things.
As far as visiting Bangladesh, I think I'll take a pass on that one and just lay down on my couch and watch you and Mr. Bald do all that dirty work. I truly am exhausted after watching yours and Bald's videos. The chaos is just maddening. I would take boring Mongolia over Bangladesh in a heart beat.
Bangledesh was on my radar for a place to visit until watching yours and Bald's videos Ben. Excellent work. This video was incredibly entertaining but I don't want to go to Bangledesh anymore.
The white shirt man was guiding you, He was talking about where the trains goes. Talking about Hilsha fish. He was talking about its a river delta and it mixes with the Bay of Bengal.
Great content Ben, seriously! I am SO glad you are friends with Bald, I'd have never known your channel otherwise! I hope you blow up too and get a million and one subs!
Hey Ben, I'm a long term Bald fan, but this trip made me want to watch both your experiences, and your was equally entertaining :). Great work, but you should have train surfed like Bald!
It's like a place where 'quiet' is a relative term and getting directions is more like an impromptu guided tour. Huge respect for carrying so much patience with you. I visited India for a short period of time for our TV show before so two thumbs up for you!
@@rizkyadiyanto7922not all about skin color. The language, culture & cuisine as well. if you go beyond Bangladesh you'll get to Burma (Myanmar) wherein people look more Asian but if you go past the border of India & head across Pakistan you'll find South-Asian people with a bit light skin. That's how it is.
Two of you make a great pair of adventurers. Amazing story telling and interesting travels. Appreciate your covering Bangladesh. Pronunciations can be misinterpreted. That man at the pier was calling out to take you to “bus station” and nothing else offensive.
@@BackpackerBenlol, never been, but heading back to Malaysia on Monday, if you ever get there I’d love to collab. Of course where I am in Devon right now has suddenly decided to have a heatwave after months of misery.
One of the funniest things I've ever seen was a handful of Bengladesh people pushing Bald and Bankrupt up on top of that train before it was about to take off! 😆😆😆
That roof journey must have been a tough one...at that speed for an hour..minding the bridge overhead steel beams.Sitting up att the wrong moment and your head is gone.
Wonderful, the tourist seeth all, and comprehendeth naught! Which makes for a very intense afternoon in the heat, needing a toilet. Oh and you forgot your phrasebook, which you could have at least pointed to, as they read and see pictures. And you had an unforgettable experience, you lucky dog! I do think when I go, I'll just see Dhaka, the Mosque and the Bazaar, a nice restaurant or two, and get a guide. Thanks , Ben for reminding us that these people, our brothers, all want to be nice, in all the heat and fish and stench and noise. Job well done, Mate!
Never seen you so disheveled before. Always wondered what the inside of those trains must be like. Thanks for showing us. Feel really sorry for the people who have to go through this everyday. I've been on a really packed train between Athens to the Turkish border, but this is a whole different level. You guys are brave!
Mate, this was an amazing video. I’ve been to many parts of Asia, (Currently live in Bangkok) and knew there were reasons why I’ve never wanted to hit up Bangladesh. It looks horrific.
The hustle and bustle over fish is on another level. The ticket vendor was really considerate. Bangladesh looks like a demanding place to travel around.
Another great adventure! I raised kids for so many years and now they're all but one last grown up and out on the own and I'm 47 now but have burning desire to travel before to late. I just happened to worked for a company for 20yrs that cut half the workers and gave us severance package to leave. I took that and enjoying few months off now and would love to go somewhere for a couple weeks or a month but not sure where to go and hoping to convince someone that traveled before to help me by going with. My dream is to visit Thailand but if there is a place that's just as good and affordable please let me know. Love to get out there soon. This trip would of been too much on me. Too intense and hectic with all that noise. Cheers to you and Bald on surviving that trip. Can't wait for next adventure. 🍻
I travelled solo in South East Asia for the first time aged 57. If you need any help or advice just ask. It's a great experience which I urge you to do if you can. @davenorwood
Bloody hell Ben, the language barrier alone would have finished me off, let lone that man following you! But going into the madness that was “Fish Hell” was beyond the call of duty. 😂🤣😂
Awe that was awesome. I could feel the sweat and the chaos of that train. Good thing bald laid low on those bridge passes. Great job Ben. Take care of that 💩🤮😢 problem. God bless dear fragile Ben.😊❤
Highlights (to be edited): -6:49 -20:55 : wholesome bengali "lad" telling ben to not trust strangers, be safe, and telling him the safe part of the area
Enjoyed watching your adventure in Bangladesh, interesting to see your interaction with the local people who are so friendly but no I couldn't follow in your footsteps. Safe onward travels.
LOL at Ben and Bald going on about not being able to sleep and then cut to 3:27 with one of the two guys wearing a "SLEEPED CITY" shirt.... whatever that's supposed to mean 😅
Rather chaotic, a random travel experience tour. Noisey yet you did it seamlessly on the fly. Language barrier through out, patient, your narrative awesome.
❤❤two hearts for my two favorite you tubers! Can't wait for another exciting adventure!🥰 let's go! Have a great time and stay safe 😍much love from Oklahoma 🥰meow💖
Oh Ben, you remind me so much of myself. You sniff a dodgy kebab and get sick, get sunburn in the evening but still plough on to get the experience. (Love from Yorkshire). X
3rd comment this video (I've missed you), I really respect you for the way you handle the local hassle. I went to Turkey and Egypt couple of times and it spoiled my trip. X
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, together again. Cool beans. ...what I'm wondering Ben, is why someone put a lock on the outside of the bathroom door in your cabin? I guess as long as the lock for the cabin itself is on the inside you have nothing to worry about. Might want to take all of your valuables in the bathroom every time you use it. Just as a precaution. The interesting places you two go, intrepid travelers. People in Bangladesh are short! They seem to be polite, gentle people.
Before being a tourist one should have a minimum study about the place, create a tour plan, have a tour guide if language is a barrier. This is a common sense. People should stop judging and complaining after watching one or two videos.
Great video, looked that you and bald had interlinked videos… so different.. it is like the old days of top gear … really fun, you need a tv show together
Awesome adventures, really necessary to experience a true flavour of the Bangla culture and life. Bald on top the train is classic, and one of few ultra immersive forays I have not tried. Everything you did was awesome, except I would not take an inside berth on the ferry; getting down that corridor in an emergency might be impossible, much prefer Mr Bald's less salubrious accommodations on the railing :) 3 days does seem a bit short to acclimatise, but hope you enjoyed yourself Ben, and thanks for taking us along.
12:15 the dude was trying to show you the only thing to see in chandpur besides fish, the meeting point of 3 major rivers. You can see the different shades of water from the 3 different streams.
I was thinking the exact same. He should be fist pumping 🤛🏼 instead, especially in places where locals are dirt poor, and water isn’t that readily available in those particular parts. If the locals can’t be bothered to keep their environment and doorstep clean, I doubt they regularly wash their hands. Yes, they may identify as Muslim, but they need educating on how important cleanliness is, in Islam. It’s half our deen. Bangladesh need to leave the Hindu dirty culture and adopt a more Islamic one. The men should be more modestly dressed, even if it is hot. The Middle East is hot, but you don’t see the men walking around in vests and longi. Even the Pakistani and Afghanistani look more presentable and hygienic. Bangladesh is still a little far behind and still adopts some of the old Hindu habits. Please keep the country and wildlife clean. The corrupt government needs to do more, instead of filling their pockets. Why are the Bangladeshi people not voting out those two greedy witches.
Dear Ben, Dear Bald & Bankrupt, you should have got a friendly local guide for Bangladesh. Both of you have made lots and lots of bad choices, you see, walking during the scorching noons and stuff like that. A local friend could have saved you from the sufferings. maybe you just want to depict the most chaotic yet common scenes which is true and which is part of our country. You know what, we are living here, enjoying here, and we know where to go, when to go. our country is incredibly beautiful, incredibly hospitable. People in here sped so much time travelling within this country and it's worth a try. You could have seen dozens of beautiful places, you could have enjoyed weeks of positive excitement or tranquility. You could have eaten from our numerous cuisines. You could have lived in different types of houses from slightly different cultures. If it's about the troubles, you surely can find trouble in everything-everywhere no matter what, but if it's about honest enjoyment in a country, we've got plenty. All you need is, a little bit of know how. You're welcome, next time just get a friend from here and enjoy our beautiful country and our hospitality.
I love that you suddenly have became a real storyteller (08:30), and doing it great. I enjoy it greatly! I think something has been rubbed of from some friend of you. Don't know who, though. ;)
Not all of Bangladesh is chaotic. If you travelled to the north, its much more rural, beautiful tea gardens amongst the quiet villages. Also in the south the very long beach at Coxs Bazaar, and hills of Rangamati.
Hi , Ben. Greatly vid. I felt the stress and heat as you were on that train. I have been to Pakistan and India. I've been in 3rd class from Islamabad to karachi, but I can say it was never as stressful as your journey. Stay safe. Are you doing a 4 month tour?
I'm a white American woman. I moved to Pakistan, near Peshawar, for a year to be with my man. I cannot begin to explain to you the level of rudeness there when it comes to staring! I went off on so many people!! Your level of patience is top notch because I could not LOL This video just brought back all kinds of memories HAHA
Dude your patience and politeness was incredible in this video. Seriously bravo man

Bloody hell Ben, the language barrier alone would have finished me off, let lone that man following you! But going into the madness that was “Fish Hell” was beyond the call of duty. 😂🤣😂
There's actually the least of a barrier in this country if you check other videos out. Here pretty everyone understands English to some extent.
emang lu bisa bahasa apa selain inggris??
I really enjoyed the rawness of the content. That place looks brutal, I could not.
You two are very entertaining . I could never do a trip like that .
if you don’t have money don’t come
Only with local friends and protection it is possible to go through with less pain
@@SteroidKidney-xp3zy they dont have money to hire a guide
@@haruntanzir3631look at the stats. They aren't exactly hurting for funds ;)
Awe that was awesome. I could feel the sweat and the chaos of that train. Good thing bald laid low on those bridge passes. Great job Ben. Take care of that 💩🤮😢 problem. God bless dear fragile Ben.😊❤
Highlights (to be edited):
-6:49
-20:55 : wholesome bengali "lad" telling ben to not trust strangers, be safe, and telling him the safe part of the area
Love the chemistry between you two. Double Bens, Double fun vid.
Enjoyed watching your adventure in Bangladesh, interesting to see your interaction with the local people who are so friendly but no I couldn't follow in your footsteps. Safe onward travels.
😂 thanks
You and Mr Bald make a great team! I hope your channel grows and grows!
Cheers man 🫵🏼🚀
I´m exhausted, and I´m just at my desk, with AC turned on and a cold drink at hand. Thanks for taking me to this insane trip!
I would literally die there! 😂. You have the patience of a saint! Love your travels, stay safe!
LOL at Ben and Bald going on about not being able to sleep and then cut to 3:27 with one of the two guys wearing a "SLEEPED CITY" shirt.... whatever that's supposed to mean 😅
It's so ironic !😂
outstanding content!! truly out beyond the pale, thanks
Much appreciated!
You suffer for our viewing pleasure and we love you for it.
My absolute pleasure
Very lucky to come out of there in piece. That guy who was following you had your back and you never realised it.
Man saved my life 🙃
Rather chaotic, a random travel experience tour. Noisey yet you did it seamlessly on the fly. Language barrier through out, patient, your narrative awesome.
Brave Ben has once again sent a message to the world as advice for planning travel.
❤❤two hearts for my two favorite you tubers! Can't wait for another exciting adventure!🥰 let's go! Have a great time and stay safe 😍much love from Oklahoma 🥰meow💖
Oh Ben, you remind me so much of myself. You sniff a dodgy kebab and get sick, get sunburn in the evening but still plough on to get the experience. (Love from Yorkshire). X
My stomach simply can’t handle it
@@BackpackerBen How come bald has guts of steel. Me and you are far better matched although it would be a race for the toilet. 🚽🧻
3rd comment this video (I've missed you), I really respect you for the way you handle the local hassle. I went to Turkey and Egypt couple of times and it spoiled my trip. X
He had a few dodgy moment 💩
@@BackpackerBen I think we should visit Oymyakon, Sakha Republic, Russia. According to Google it's the coldest town on record.
Fighting Spirit Ben🤣 . Thanks for sharing your production 👍👍👍👍👍
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, together again. Cool beans. ...what I'm wondering Ben, is why someone put a lock on the outside of the bathroom door in your cabin? I guess as long as the lock for the cabin itself is on the inside you have nothing to worry about. Might want to take all of your valuables in the bathroom every time you use it. Just as a precaution. The interesting places you two go, intrepid travelers. People in Bangladesh are short! They seem to be polite, gentle people.
Awesome vid with you and bald ,great content, please keep them coming !!!!!!!! 👍
This place is my worst nightmare
why is that..?
@@reezevlog so crazy and hectic and loud.
Ben and Bald... What a combo !!
Jesus that guy in the white shirt was like Mr Benn - everywhere you turned he was there 😂
Great content as always ya hero! Love what you're doing! Cheers from Exeter
This video shows why they don't have any tourists in Bangladesh
@hafijurrahman6217that sounds good. Do people drink and party there? Or no?
Before being a tourist one should have a minimum study about the place, create a tour plan, have a tour guide if language is a barrier. This is a common sense. People should stop judging and complaining after watching one or two videos.
Great video, looked that you and bald had interlinked videos… so different.. it is like the old days of top gear … really fun, you need a tv show together
The train was insane lol. Mr. Bald is ballsy for going on the top!
Complete lunatic you got to respect the efforts
The lengths he'll go to for content are commendable.
he choosed the busy local train he said that, so don’t complain
Awesome adventures, really necessary to experience a true flavour of the Bangla culture and life. Bald on top the train is classic, and one of few ultra immersive forays I have not tried. Everything you did was awesome, except I would not take an inside berth on the ferry; getting down that corridor in an emergency might be impossible, much prefer Mr Bald's less salubrious accommodations on the railing :) 3 days does seem a bit short to acclimatise, but hope you enjoyed yourself Ben, and thanks for taking us along.
Fantastic video, but is it safe to say that your bowels are made of paper?
Looks like hell on earth
12:15 the dude was trying to show you the only thing to see in chandpur besides fish, the meeting point of 3 major rivers. You can see the different shades of water from the 3 different streams.
I can confirm Bangladesh is the most chaotic country in the world
“Gulshan is lovely you should stay there”
This is bloody awesome, loved the edits 🔥🔥🔥💀
Have you had a chance to visit rich neighborhoods of this country? Just curious to see the difference.
You can follow the vlogs of Brent Timm or Luke Damant
Yeah I'd be curious to see the better side
5:23 never eat pringles in south asia, I did and threw up at the airport
STOP STOP STOP shaking everyone’s hand IF you don’t want to get sick, Mr. Ben. Stay healthy!
I was thinking the exact same thing
@@Kalim-ry9ndwudhu is not a disinfectant
@@Kalim-ry9ndwashing their bits in cholera water?
Yes or at least carry hand sanitizer
I was thinking the exact same. He should be fist pumping 🤛🏼 instead, especially in places where locals are dirt poor, and water isn’t that readily available in those particular parts. If the locals can’t be bothered to keep their environment and doorstep clean, I doubt they regularly wash their hands. Yes, they may identify as Muslim, but they need educating on how important cleanliness is, in Islam. It’s half our deen. Bangladesh need to leave the Hindu dirty culture and adopt a more Islamic one. The men should be more modestly dressed, even if it is hot. The Middle East is hot, but you don’t see the men walking around in vests and longi. Even the Pakistani and Afghanistani look more presentable and hygienic. Bangladesh is still a little far behind and still adopts some of the old Hindu habits. Please keep the country and wildlife clean. The corrupt government needs to do more, instead of filling their pockets. Why are the Bangladeshi people not voting out those two greedy witches.
epic vlog thanks ben total chaos amazing cant wait for the next one
More to come! Maybe less chaos though 😵💫
Aaaaah Ben you spoke Bangla!!!! So good to hear!!
Could you tell us what the man who was following Ben was saying?
Dear Ben, Dear Bald & Bankrupt,
you should have got a friendly local guide for Bangladesh.
Both of you have made lots and lots of bad choices, you see, walking during the scorching noons and stuff like that. A local friend could have saved you from the sufferings.
maybe you just want to depict the most chaotic yet common scenes which is true and which is part of our country. You know what, we are living here, enjoying here, and we know where to go, when to go.
our country is incredibly beautiful, incredibly hospitable. People in here sped so much time travelling within this country and it's worth a try.
You could have seen dozens of beautiful places, you could have enjoyed weeks of positive excitement or tranquility. You could have eaten from our numerous cuisines. You could have lived in different types of houses from slightly different cultures.
If it's about the troubles, you surely can find trouble in everything-everywhere no matter what, but if it's about honest enjoyment in a country, we've got plenty. All you need is, a little bit of know how.
You're welcome, next time just get a friend from here and enjoy our beautiful country and our hospitality.
23:15 I died when Ben looked back and saw the guy still following him ☠️ 😂😂
Couldn't imagine living there, crazy place. Great video!
Great adventure 👍 that staring was intense 😂
I love that you suddenly have became a real storyteller (08:30), and doing it great. I enjoy it greatly!
I think something has been rubbed of from some friend of you. Don't know who, though. ;)
I thought bald and bankrupt had it bad with all the kids following him in his video, but this is something else 😂
Was over 2 hours
Not all of Bangladesh is chaotic. If you travelled to the north, its much more rural, beautiful tea gardens amongst the quiet villages. Also in the south the very long beach at Coxs Bazaar, and hills of Rangamati.
He said buss station not bustad
That must have been crazy bro love it man love the channel 👍
Ahh the old “walk around a country just speaking English and expect everyone to understand” plan. Always a winner.
Ok karen
@@robbiepmusic ok troll in his mothers basement
Hi , Ben. Greatly vid. I felt the stress and heat as you were on that train. I have been to Pakistan and India. I've been in 3rd class from Islamabad to karachi, but I can say it was never as stressful as your journey. Stay safe. Are you doing a 4 month tour?
I'm a white American woman. I moved to Pakistan, near Peshawar, for a year to be with my man. I cannot begin to explain to you the level of rudeness there when it comes to staring! I went off on so many people!! Your level of patience is top notch because I could not LOL This video just brought back all kinds of memories HAHA
i guess u have to wear hijab there like local women same as iran
@@franklin7793 I did, I just stood out. Especially because I couldn't speak the language.
@@HeatherBoo916your mistake was marrying a Muslim.
@@pulakification I am Muslim asshole
@@oringo556 oh I did, I would stare back, stick out my tongue and cross my eyes, tell them off, etc lol
It’s interesting watching from both bald’s and ben’s travel vlogs . What an interesting trip
He is calling "Bus stand" not "Bastard" 😂😂😂
😬😬
