    Life on or near the river is pretty amazing, my wife’s daughters restaurant is not far from ICON SIAM……short walking distance, very easy to get around but always a lot of traffic….next time you are down that way you should stop for lunch…….creeping up on 100k subs too……awesome STL!

  • @scottprice4813
    @scottprice4813 Před 2 měsíci +4

    Watched it all- not too long. When it’s varied including accommodation , transport , shopping, food and drink and unique spots it’s not too long . When you give historical context and recommendations it’s not going to be too long . The droning new boy in town vloggers that specialize in clickbait and regurgitate the same same stuff as dozens of others- I don’t have time to waste with them. I’m coming back to Thailand for the first time since 2017 sometime soon and your channel has value for sure .

    And about 99% sure that I’ve watched one of your videos now.
    Looking forward to retracing some of your steps. I’ll be retired by August 2025.
    Looking forward to many great adventures!
    I’m a big Tabasco fan myself!
    I’ve been to Avery Island two times. If you go set aside the whole day and get there early and take the tour of the whole grounds. There’s even a big Buddha in a temple. It’s a beautiful setting. And there the largest collection of live bamboo gardens in the world! It’s a beautiful place. The old Avery island. It’s on top of a huge salt mine as big as Mount Everest, but underground.
    Thank you so very much!

    Great video if you make long videos I am happy to watch and if you want to split them into two I am happy to watch, up to you, whatever pays you the most. Short or long I am going to watch them.
    Grat view of the river while eating your meal. 👍😎

    @deanontheinterwebs Před 2 měsíci +1

    LOL, so hard to "endure" 47 mins!! Awesome as always. IconSiam had just had its grand opening when I was last in BKK. Was all booked in for a 6-month+ visit 2020 except for a few postponements with lockdowns, so am quite looking forward to coming back next month.

    ALWAYS impressive the way your productions manage to capture the vibes of the areas you are in - perfectly! This video was so fun; you brought the life of Bangkok's old/new city vibes and views right through the screen again. I could look at the beautiful old buildings and hotels all day...so yum! Thanks STL, for always creating with care and please don't evah' shorten🙂

  • @ECCENTRICERIC69
    @ECCENTRICERIC69 Před 2 měsíci +2

    I feel like I need to pay you my long needed respect and thanks.
    I subscribed a long time ago and 'liked' all your videos but just want to comment that your content is consistently high quality, entertaining, informative and full of practical advice and recommendations.
    For example, i was in the process of booking the Ibis Riverside for 3 nights on 28th December for 187 British pounds when my fiancee said that the room only had a small window which is not ideal as she is claustrophobic.
    Lo and behold we were at the point of watching this video when you mentioned the Naga Residence next door.Luckily, we were able to book a huge beautiful room with a king bed and balcony for only 129 pounds in total checking out on New Years Eve.
    To say we are overjoyed and thankful is an understatement!

  • @ewengillies9826
    @ewengillies9826 Před 2 měsíci +1

    The best guided tour I've ever had around that area. Been there done that and missed heaps so thanks for the refresher. If you think it's a long vlog .. give yourself an intermission just like the old days. Some of those old buildings are awesome so good to see restoration being done. Bushyboy Oz.

  • @adriankung1625
    @adriankung1625 Před 2 měsíci

    Did I make it to the end?!! Of course! While I generally prefer a slightly shorter video, as long as you keep things going and actual content ( Ie limited "filler" -- I haven't seen any "filler" on any of your vids ) I will surely make the time to absorb whatever you can bring me. This was often just breath-taking!!
    I'm awful with crowds in my "older" years, but this is clearly not to be passed over -- kind of like Old Town Vegas meets the Vancouver inner harbour -- Granville Island and Metrotown/Silver City all rolled into one -- but affordable. Positively must experience this -- I might get addicted, tho...
    Cheers!...from North Vancouver

    Cheers from another Canuck from Southern Ontario. I always make it to the end of your vids and wish there was another hour or two still to go. 👍I first started watching about a couple months or so ago. You know how it goes during a CZcams deep dive, I just happened upon one of your videos and haven't stopped watching since lol. Love the content, love the Irie chill music vibes that you add. Really love the live music you happen upon during your sidetrips. I think I'm caught up, but may still have a few older vids to watch. I habitually look forward to the next one. Cheers.

    Intriguing footage! Your adventures are stirring a desire to embark on a walkabout through these very streets upon my return to Bangkok. The bustling energy, the myriad of activities beckoning! So many things to do, so little time! A hearty toast from the far reaches of Alaska.

    So many memories from when I lived in that area in 2003-2004. Sathon road soi 21. It's where I drank snake blood for the first and last time. Sometimes I go back for a chat with old friends who still live there. Thank you for sharing!

    I have to admit during my river trip I got a bit confused with all the ferry boats and where to stand for the one I wanted LOL. Had 3-4 people finally get me in the proper line. Language was bit of an issue. Icon Siam is indeed amazing mall plus lots of great places along river to chill with a beer and food. This vlogger is right, a lot to explore in this section of Bangkok

    @TJSiam Před 2 měsíci

    First of all, I just love your vids! Many good tips, even for those who live in Thailand. And your videos are NEVER tot long.
    Second thing: Last Tuesday coming from the sticks (Pathum Thani) been Bangkoking my self with the misses, doing some errands here and there, ended up at Icon Siam to buy a new Apple TV 4K, some drinks and a small dinner. But somehow every time we eat at Icon, we get it wrong. 2 times at Sook Siam, and this time more up scale at Grey Hound, Absolutely tasteless soup, spaghetti, and fish balls in a jacket with some fries which were call "fish and chips". OK, maybe I'm a bit spoiled with my significant other being a chef, but for the prices they charge at Icon... Or are we just that unlucky...
    Keep up the good work, and we will continue to watch!

Change of topic, but a while back you shared a video of your experience attending a great music festival in Hua Hin area I believe. Do you know when that festival is this year by chance?

    Thanks for showing me my future neighborhood.

    In terms of urban environment that area of Bangkok is the best in Thailand and possibly the whole world- the strip between China town and the ibis - the river itself has both a busy and a tranquil calming in the centre of Chaos, there’s all the classic places, lebua, icon, peninsula, mandarin, Shanghai la, Chinatown and all it’s interest, endless alleys which a hidden gem down each one it’s impossible for someone like myself to put into words the atmosphere of that area

    Thanks for your video. We stayed in Bangkok last year but on the wrong side of the river clearly after watching your video's. We stayed at The Chatrium which was a nice Hotel, but not as good for things to do around it. We know next time to stay on the other side. Close but yet so far, as they say! Really enjoying your channel.
