Great video buddy, keep it up!
Thank you for the video! It’s a great help to decide where to stay😊
Really helpful, thank you!
Nice place Thailand thanks for sharing frend
Love this guys videos. Straight to the point. Love it
Thanks for the good overview....it helps me get oriented.....
Very nice tour and informative! I subscribed...hoping for more. ;) Also, can you do the conversion to USD or EURO when you quote Thai Baht?
So far, your recommendations have been the best I've seen! With the help of this video, I found a nice hotel (reviews seemed fair) in the downtown area that is well within my budget for my 4-day stay. Thanks!
Do you mind sharing the name of the hotel and your experience there? I'm looking for places and it's hard lol.
Super helpful, brother!
Nice video and good info for travellers.👍
Great video Robert,very informative, good luck.
Great video. You covered a lot of interesting and fun information. 🙂
Thanks, i’m glad you enjoyed 😄
very helpful information, thank you...
Great video bro!
That was very helpful and informative.....I'm planning a trip to Bangkok...this area looks great 👍 thanks so much 🙏
the other Sukhumvit area to stay; Ploenchit, Phrom Phong, Thonglor, for Thai Cuisine; Have a Zeed by Lao at Therminal 21, Ross Niyom restaurant at Central World, Emquartier, Somboon seafood at Ratchada Hwai Khuang (try Crab Mud Curry/ Phu Pad Gaeng)
I'm heading there in less then a couple of weeks. Thinking of doing a few nights over Kaos Road then a couple of nights in Sukhumvit area so i don't have to suffer transport to much
your videos are great dude
great video
Yeah, I wanna travel to Bangkok and go to malls.
Nice video bro
At the airport there is an airport skytrain connecting to the city. Affordable and safe
Accommodations in areas like Ari, Thong-lor, Eakamai are relatively more affordable and peaceful.
Super super helpful!! I’ll be traveling to Thailand this November (2023) and this helps out a lot! It’s a nice mix of locations that you recommended and I’m not a big partier or anything but also a few nights won’t hurt lol. Loved this video!
Did you decide on an area?
@@allisongous4221 I have not! Not quite😅
@@rosstravels.official me too. I'm overwhelmed by all the information 😄
@@allisongous4221 haha. Yea I’m just not sure what non-party hostels there are but also if I do a non-party hostel, are they still social? That’s my biggest fear is not making any friends but I know not every single person is a drinker either although it seems like it at times haha. I’m there with ya haha😅
I'll be there this November too
Thailand favorite place destination
fun... vacation to go to... a shopping mall...
Awesome vid! I am staying one night arriving to BKK at 9am and then departing from DMK at 5pm next day. I definitely wanna see the temples, khao san, jim thomson and other famous areas of Bangkok. Have a higher budget but more than the budget, I just really wanna stay somewhere convenient to move around. Would you still recommend Sukhumvit for one night stays?
If you really want to visit Khao San Road and see the temples then staying around the Khao San Road area wouldn't be too bad of an idea. Most of the famous temples are in around that area and then you have Iconsiam not too far away if you're into shopping and you're not very far from Chinatown either. I guess it depends on what you prioritize! However, you can never go wrong with Sukhumvit if you're not quite sure about your decision.
I'm heading to Bangkok on March 1st from manila. I'm trying to decide where I want to call my second home either the Philippines or Thailand
I'm watching from Philippines 🥰😊

I miss MBK so much 🔥🔥
Hello
Going on holiday in August
Where do you advise to stay for shopping and street food ?
best area to stay in BKK is from soi 22 and across Sukhumvit road upto soi 59, many bars and restaurants and hotel options, soi 22 itself is a microcosim of restaurant and hotel options , its about 1km long
Will you explain what soi 22 and soi 59 mean for my American Googling self? What should I put in maps to find the area that you are talking about? Thanks.
its in the area of Sukhumvit and the street (soi) number
Up to 65 is fine thonglor ekkamai area is very nice. Afterwards is not worth it at all.
Excellent
Long Ago there was a Travel Agency called Asia Travel which showed you hotels Available by different sections of Bangkok.For those of you who have never been to Bangkok the best choice is to have your hotel pick you up from the Airport especially if you are a woman traveling alone. If you are traveling from the USA you won’t arrive until 11 pm. The airport is quite a distance from Bangkok. Your hotel wants your money.
They will have a sign with your name on it as you emerge from immigration.
My wife was born in Thailand and this is the method she prefers for personal safety.
At the airport there is an airport skytrain connecting to the city. Affordable and safe
I'm glad we didn't go to Siam Paragon yesterday.
I prefer to stay around Chatuchak. Sukhumvit is a busy and seedy. Chatuchak market and park, plus the cool areas of Ari, saphan khwai, and all the malls in Ladprao all make for a more relaxed Bangkok experience
Thus video is for first timers. First timers need to stay in the city center to save time. Suk is actually not that busy and only Nana area is seedy.
Thanks boss
Bought my first Submariner in that Rolex at Paragon. Even cheaper than in the USA
Thank you for mentioning Don Quixote's. I'm from Hawaii and we have it there. So that made my choice and where I want to retire in Thailand it will be Bangkok because they have a don Qijote
When and where
Great recommendation vid.
Si Lom is also a good area for hotels.
I chose to stay in the victory monument area.
Damn such a stud! ❤
Thank you for making a video introducing Thailand. I hope you enjoy traveling to different places. In Thailand...there is much more. that you will learn new things and the culture of Thailand...that is easy and comfortable, but there may be some that you may encounter Some Thai people take advantage of you. It will not be a tuk tuk or taxi that overcharges. and will not change your money Or meet a wild kai You should avoid these people...because maybe they're not Thai. listen to the accent It could be someone from a friend's country. Came to wear the right to rent a car from a public car to drive...notice The front of the car will have a driver's license. Set in front of the car whether it matches the picture that is allowed to drive on public transport or not....? from Thailand...🤗🤗🤗✌✌✌
Its now okay to travel bangkok? I heard the news that the pollution is worse right now. Plan to travel this coming april.
Thanks
Great info! Looking to travel to BKK soon. Looking to be near shopping and great street foods. What area is near?
Video is a month old,, and you’re sweating. Is it hot there right now?
The video was recorded in july, hence why I was sweating- winter months are not as humid.
Sukhumvit gives you a little bit of everything and you’re also close to many of the major night markets that have great street food
whats the beat area to stay if your not interested in bars and clubs
You should use the song One night in Bangkok for this video 😅
Got a minute in and the microphone and your hair killed it
Not sure if that was a compliment or an insult 😂
@@Robert_Berg 😅
Your new subscriber
Welcome :)
Bro hope came in the Philippines too seems you never been in the Philippines. Philippines is a good county,good vibes and I'm sure Filipino will support you in your channel because Filipinos is do appreciate to the vloggers who came and introduce the Philippines.. Ad English is the second language. There's many better Beach in the Philippines better than Thailand and it's more fun in the Philippines
The Philippines is defintiely on the list, I was planning to go there this past summer but I didn’t manage to get a new passport in time. Hopefully I’ll go there in the near future 🇵🇭
Cry. More.
We've just come back from Thailand, we spent around 7 days in Bangkok either side of trips to Hanoi and Phuket.
We originally looked at Sukhumvit but ended up staying close to Khao San Road. I'm glad we did as there seemed to be more tailored to what we were looking for. We visited Sukhumvit and whilst there were plenty of bars, it had more of a built-up city feel. We are in our 50's and certainly not party animals, the Khao San Road area appeals to all and there are more upmarket hotels if you're not a backpacker. We stayed at the Dewan, a nice hotel with a good pool, 1 min to to Khao San Road and depending on where your room is, reasonably quiet at night. There are decent options a little further away and on the river should you like a little more peace and quiet.
We were close to bars and nightlife and walking distance to the river for easy access to attractions, temples, China town and transport links. The metered taxis and Grab options are pretty cheap should you wish to use that option to get to railway stations or other parts of the city.
Where can I find cheap area in bangkok. I don't need fancy stores. I'm looking for a area that has day/ night markets daily thats walking distance. My wife loves that " fleemarket " vibe. Street hawker/food cart type of area with some mosque near. We stayed in the talat phlu area which was nice however we got tired of walking 15mins to the train station. Any suggestions I can research?
There are night markets all over Bangkok
Take a look around BTS Rachathewi station (one station away from Siam). There is a mosque at Petburi soi 5 (or 7) and lot of street food in both sois. There are also a lot of apartments and condominiums for rent in that area. The rent could be around 5000-8000THB or more for an apartment. The condominium could be around 20K++
Funny how the guy changed his boxing gloves to Cleto Reyes the next day. Does gloves are known for lesser padding at the knuckles. He def put them on to hurt you 😆
Khao San road to me seemed too ghetto for my tastes and overpriced in terms of food quality. I mainly stayed around Wathana.
heading there end of this month, are you still in the area bro? would be good to connect
Unfortunately not bro, currently in Stockholm and then the plan is to travel some other countries in Asia this summer
Would you preefeere sukhumvisit or siam/asok for first time travellers so that its eeasy to navigate around and use trains to go to and from airport directly?
I think both Siam and Asok are great areas for first time travelers, you’ll be fine either way. Those areas are pretty much as central as you can get in Bangkok which makes it a great base to explore the city. You can take the Airport Rail Link from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Phaya Thai and from there transfer to the BTS (skytrain) which is 2 stops away from the Siam Station and 6 stops away from the Asok Station. Personally, I always take a taxi from the airport since it’s very affordable.
@@Robert_Berg Do you use grab and how much is it usually to and from siam/sukhumvit areas to the airport?
I use both Grab and Bolt and I usually pay around 400-500 baht for a one way trip
@@Robert_Berg Thanks so much bro, sowould you say for 1 perso staying in a good hotel eating 2 meals for 4 days includingn a sim and transportationn using metro mainly, $200-$250 would be good?
You know your own spending habits better than I do but yes, it’s definitely doable with 200-250$ if you budget well
Thonglo quiet and still close to asoke etc
Thoughts on Silom?
Definitely a great alternative to Sukhumvit and Siam. A little bit more calm than those areas but still good alternatives for restaurants, shopping, accommodation options etc. Also close access to the BTS and MRT.
For the language barrier how big is it please? Although my uni is thought In English and has a lot of foreign students I could associate with but I wanna be able to experience Thai land and it’s culture as well as mingle with the locals
Generally, the younger generation are more fluent in english compared to the older one but at the end of the day, it really depends from person to person. I’ve met people my age that speaks great english but I’ve also met people, again, my age, who barely spoke a word of english. Usually they’re pretty decent at english if they live/work in or close to the city centre (eg. Sukhumvit) since they speak english a lot there because of the tourists. Uni students in Bangkok seems to speak somewhat decent english in general.
@@Robert_Berg thanks a lot this information was super helpful. Nevertheless I should probably learn some basic Thai just to be safe.
Just say BOOM BOOM to the pretty girls and wave some notes. No thai needed.
Is there a lot of hotel nearby the area?
There's a lot of hotels in and around the areas mentioned, yes
Staying in a hotel is OK but anybody can answer my question the safety box in the hotel is safe to leave your money in
hi haw mach pay for this hotell
But what's the name of the hotel???
Can I know which hotel did you stay?
Sure, that’s The Quarter Ploenchit
What hotel is 3:14 please? Thanks for tips
The Quarter Phloenchit by UHG
u have forgotten one of the main areas to stay which is silom ..
pls tell me about silom
Why is your video footage so dark?
Siam is pronounced sa-yam.
I really love The food courts in Bangkok.💕
😍You will find a version of the Thai food court in just about every shopping mall in Thailand.
🥰Icon Siam, Terminal 21, MBK, Siam Paragon, Central World etc. ...cheap & tasty!😋👍
Yes indeed they’re all great 😄
🖐🖐🖐
😁
First time in Bkk?
where u staying??
Robert, I enjoy watching you videos in my country, Thailand! Believe it or not! If you plan to stay in Thailand for a longggggg longgggg time, learn how to speak and communicate with Thai people in Thai language, will make everything much easier!
Thats so needful if you live in Thailand 2 speak Thai 😂
I hop. I am to again
How tall are you?
193cm
@@Robert_Berg you are as tall as my stepdad 😅
You are in perfect shape. What sports do you do?
I go to the gym to stay in shape
It lacks you very much 🎉🎉🎉
Just came from Bangkok, not a lot speak English even the taxi drivers won't reply when you ask them something
Are you sure you were in Bangkok 😅
They don't speak fluent English, just enough to understand what you need. Try learning basic Thai as well, it goes a long way
Where to stay aha Ami Beter jou and all stay at jour country not there
Soi 6 in Pataya hahaha
Sound like English in Swedish dialect.
Makes sense since i’m swedish 😎
@@Robert_Berg I'm also Swedish, born in Stockholm at Karolinska.
@@Robert_Berg I used to live in Sweden, but because of Socialism and the immigrants I moved away from that communist North Korean influenced nation.
All politics in Sweden are based on taxes and they want your money so that they don't need to work hard.
Also the reason that I left Sweden is because they make people homeless with those high cost of living.
North Korea and Sweden are like best friends and they support Palestine and don't like Israel because Israel is so rich nation and they want Palestine to take over so that it becomes like ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
But Israel is also messed up, but not as much as North Korea, ISIS and Al-Qaeda, at-least they got some freedom, but there are no nations that got 100% freedom since that would make no sense, freedom means you are allowed to decide and that means I'm allowed to do whatever I want? That's not true since there are rules in all nations even in Sweden, since Sweden got prison and assassins the people who killed Olof Palme since the government wanted him out. It is possible that the government assassinated Olof Palme since they wanted to get a new prime minister and of-course they would never admit it unless they want people to trust the government less.
โอประเทศไทยนิ
