Nicely done JR and Mrs C,love the parks and scenery in BKK, but most of all the food on offer😋😋👏🏿
Thanks Paul, Bangkok has a lot to offer
whats up J R its me. Damn so many great dishes. Keep em coming.
Thanks Shayne, will do
That was awesome! How many days were you in Thailand? 👍👍
29 nights! Thanks 4 watching!
Are you using cash or cards at these restaurants? Do you have to tip in Thailand?
I only do cash unless its a special occasion fancy western restaurant and then maybe us the card. You do not have to tip but we do as wages in Thailand like rest of Southeast Asia, Singapore excluded, are very low. Most restaurants have a service charge, so check your bill, usually 7.5-10% so we just add a little bit more depending on how the service was.
Nothing wrong with Convenient. Why suffer.
Exactly, touristy places become that way for a reason, something scenic, good food scene, some history or whatever. Asok is very very convenient area to stay. Thanks Gunny
As usual, the food looked very tempting, especially that ziti looking pasta, did you say it was extra spicy ? The thing that impressed me most was the view of town from the sky walk, It looked like a scene from a sci-fi / futuristic thriller. Thanks for posting, how many more are in this road trip series ?
Plenty of videos coming John, we dont get back until November and our videos are behind so I may have content into 2025!
The pasta is not spicy at all but very peppery, black pepper and sharp cheese very flavorful. Pizza at that place is fantastic , crust is delicious
@@FOCUSonASIA13 Sounds good to me !
@@FOCUSonASIA13 The crust is the best part of a pizza, IMHO
@@Mr1990hjc For me as well, makes all the difference
Good stuff JR. I saw a video Paddy did on the Ari Station area. Looks very interesting. Would love to see your take on that area.
Thanks, I will have to check out his video haven't see that one. Not familiar with that area , might have to check it out when we get back to Bangkok
Hi JR, if you ate at 10 restaurants a day in the Asoke area, you will not be able to cover, I think, half of the area total….especially the big mall… enjoy the food….ed
I agree Ed!
Enjoying your content,keep them coming.Like the food court Have a great day
Thanks Slim!
Taco Bell in Thailand is pretty good. Im not much of a fan of Taco Bell in the US but its good there.
I like it for a taco or two every couple years or so LOL
I think if i lived in Bangkok i would want to live near the 2 parks. Closer to benchikiti park its so nice there great place for some morning walks.
Agree, love the parks, you gotta walk Lumphini in the morning as well, very peaceful and dodging the cats and monitor lizards makes it fun
@@FOCUSonASIA13 yeah i had a short somewhere on my channel with a few monitor lizards fighting
Another entertaining video bro, you really have motivated me to retire soon and start living my life. I thought about you a little today, “no homo” when I was replying to a viewer Robert on my last long video. I responded to him on why I make videos for CZcams. JenJen and I hate to see you go but I know you have you reasons, just want to let you know that you were a part of our lives whenever we had the chance to chill and relax watching your videos. Wish you and Miss Cecilia luck in your lives and hope to meet you someday. By the way I’m a big fan of TacoBell, it’s one of my favorite comfort foods.😊
Thanks Bill and JenJen not going anywhere for a while, I am enjoying these vids on this trip! YT is what it is! I didn't even know you were putting out vids, I will check it out. Taco Bell is a love hate relationship, I think I want some, then I regret that I bought it LOL
I'm so glad I ate my lonely ass sandwich before watching you dine on a delectable meal 🤣🤣 The food looked great
I never ate lonely ass, how is it Padnum?😂
That sandwich wasn't lonely it had you LOL
LOL
🤣
Thanks for the video JR hope you both are well Stay Safe
Doing well in Kuala Lumpur Dave, Thanks
Used to call the water under that bridge Shit River. There'd be small kids swimming in it. There had to be every disease known and unknown to man in there!
Named that for a good reason! Hasn't changed still the same, even worse is the shit river that runs in Angeles near Robinsons Mall , see kids swimming in it all the time and you can see white foam and garbage floating through it
Some beautiful scenery. Sorry to hear about Cecilia getting sick. As always, some great editing skills.
Thanks Joe and Gift!

Greetings JR and Mrs C, I’m so sorry to hear of Cecelia’s bad experience, I know what it’s like. So glad you are continuing to post entertaining content, your photography is amazing, trust all is well and you enjoy the rest of your vacation ✌🏿🥰🍷
Thanks Paul, she is all good !
love it! great energy vibrant colors and people 😃 i was taught early to accept everyone as they are ❤️ dont judge, just do you
100% brother
sucks you had a crazy drivers, thats a big part of your travels and when you cant enjoy that it carries into your stops 😬 beautiful temples bridge food and processes 👍 thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching Chubs!
Really enjoying your Thailand travels. They are worthy of their own channel. I seeing a lot of places from my past years in Thailand, good memories, of my early 2000s doing logistics in Thailand. I was lucky, i traveled most of all of Thailand, minus south on the peninsula part. I have had a couple of those drivers from hell. They won’t slow down and drive normal either, after being told. Riding with them is like you will die any moment in a horrible head on crash. I don’t get it. Even my Thai Military translator would brief the driver and still he drove like a wacko.
I have had many of the speed racer drivers on TDYs to Thailand in the past. Wasn't the speed with this guy as much as the plain lack of normal driving skills. Sucked LOL
whats up J R its me. Cool places. Im taking good notes bcoz the wife just told me she wants to go to Thailand, so with that keep em coming. Take care and be safe brother
One more Thailand vid on this first part of the journey with more Thailand to come after Malaysia. Thanks Shayne!
I used to know someone like that in driving😂
You figure after so many years they would figure it out haha
Chowder 🤤
New England Clam chowder is good
Cheese cake factory 🥺🤤❤️ where is it? 😅
It is in Central World right at the front of the mall adjacent to Shake Shack, best burger chain burger in my opinion
Sorry for the bad driver The video was very nice though.
Thanks Royse!
Is that called The Highway to Hell? Haha. Nice to see the outskirts of Bangkok.. So much history everywhere.. Hi JR and Mrs. C. Glad to see all the history and you all enjoying yourselves!
Thanks Carlos! Lot of WWII and Vietnam history in Thailand
Great piece of work on this video but definitely an unfortunate ride. However JR as always I enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing ✌🏾
Appreciate it Harvey!
Excellence Show and narration.
Thanks Dan, appreciate you watching as always
Love the flora over there. The last temple was my favorite. That house out in the rice field would be a nice getaway if someone else was bringing the supplies… nice video. Thanks for the upload.
Loved the scenery around the house. Thanks Paul
The change from city life was great to see, It was really a great stress reliever. I've had more than a few bad trike/jeepney rides in the PI . One of my favorite was with my Father-in-Law. We took a trike from Balibago to Hensonville, and he volunteered to pay. He gave the driver whatever the going rate was at the time, but it wasn't enough, the little creep wanted double ! The driver told him, "If you want that American to ride for that price get him his own trike". My Father-in-Law took a handful of coins and threw them at him. We stood there and laughed while he scrambled around picking up coins in the street. Thanks for the video JR. Hope you guys got back on track quickly, did you ever get any satisfaction or feed back from the company ?
Thanks John, the company just said sorry in the message that is about all we expected. People don't often believe that their is a skin tax but there is
@@FOCUSonASIA13 Oh, yes there definitely is ! My brother went to a taco truck a few nights ago, and they tried to charge him a "taco tax". 😂
whats up J R its me. Some nice places. Im taking notes bcoz the wife just said that she wants to go to Thailand so with that, Keep em coming. Be safe brother.
Great video, sorry to hear the ride was horrible. Worked in Thailand back in the mid 90’s most drove like that back then. Scary as stuff. Hope the wife was feeling better the next day.
She was all good, Thanks 4 watching Brad
I always like 3rd person shots where u set up the camera and walk by. I remember going to and from Pattaya to Utapao and though we would die everyday. They drive crazy AF there too.
Ya I am all good with the speed and craziness, this dude just had no basic concepts of driving
Ive seen a few of those temples up in the north Nakhon Ratchasima where my ex wife was from.
Beautiful temples all over Thailand but this one was one of the nicer I have been to
Sucks that the ride ended that way. Loved the views.
Thanks brother, it was what it was
Hi JR great video on Kanchanaburi, the old village is pretty cool. Nothing worse than a bad driver. I hope you both are feeling better. Keep up the good videos love it.
Thanks BM!
JR, so sorry to hear about the ride. That being said...this is one of your best ever vids. Simply outstanding with great images, presentation and background info. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing
Appreciate that Mike and hello from Malaysia
Good morning hope you guys are well
