I have been visiting Thailand flor more than 25 years and I got family there as well. I can surely say that, from all the videos around about Thailand, your channel is one of the very few depicting Thailand as it is -its past and present, culture, religion, society- without nonsense. Congratulations and thank you. Keep it up please.
Sofitel hotel is a great place for a beer, at the rooftop bar. I used to visit place frequently. Westin's lounge is also another relaxing place for drinks, and after that I get to play pool at the nearby bars.
Thanks again BKK Pat for another fascinating insight to what makes Bangkok such a wonderful place to visit, it ain't all about the Gogo bars and getting girls... it's the vibrant steady flow of life and the great walks about town, once again thank you BKK Pat, hope to buy you a cup of coffee here in the near future :-)
such underrated video! Wish your channel grows more, I admit earlier on I didn't click on your videos because the banner seems off. Gonna spread the word around to refer your videos for Bangkok guide From Malaysia with love~
It's very true what you say about moving hotels around. It saves so much travelling time if you can walk to where you want to go. Thank you again for all your hard work on your channel.
Thanks! Often when you book a hotel and have never been to the area you may regret commiting to booking too many nights if you don't like where it is, and Nana is not everyone's cup of tea.
@@BangkokPat I guess the tipping point was sitting in a taxi for an hour on my way back from MBK or my tailor to East Bangkok all the time.

Was gonna get ribs to take away the other night but didn't fancy waiting and it was busy, I do intend to, we could do a video as I've mentioned it and showed in in about 3 videos already!
I like to have a 'street beer.'- A cold Cheers Xtra from 7-eleven and drink it on the street! My favourite spot for years has been the parking places opposite Dets Soi8. There are many other places to enjoy a drink while soaking up the BKK atmosphere, and so long as you are discrete no one seems offended. Thanks for the video.
Thank you pat, Love the channel. I miss Thailand. Spent a month there in 2016 mostly traveling north into chaing mai and Mae hong son loop etc etc. Made massive use of the train and stopped in many areas while traveling north... was a blast.. motorbiked through the loop in Mae hong son beautiful ride. Keep playing to my nostalgia I love it.
Soi 11 is a good place to stay. It has lots of places to eat and it's near the more busy parts of the area, but slightly removed. You can use the Nana BTS station to cross Sukhumvit Road which gives you clear access to Soi 8. There's an elevator just inside the walkway to the Q building that will take you back down to street level.
I grew up round these neighborhoods from 1999 to 2021 I’m away for a 1 year now hopefully coming back next month November 2022 🤗i miss bkk so much thanks Bangkok pat for posting my beautiful Neighborhood’s 🙏🏾🤗🥰✌🏾🎩
Hi Pat: Great post. After what will be three years of the 'no fly' we have had plenty of time to plan our next visit, and we had chosen soi 10 a year ago due to its access to the park. We used to stay closer to Queen's Park and would walk there every morning, but Benjakitti provides a much bigger loop that we have taken advantage of for a couple of years. And my favourite 'gold guy' is right on the corner of Suk 10.
@@BangkokPat I am an old school guy, don't use my card for overseas charges,from usa,but I will treat you dinner and meet you when a guet there early spring, and contribute to Channel when I am there,keep your good work, and sneaky sense humor at times,super entertaining,yet very Bankok learning skills and knowledge for newbies like me lol your are the best! I know higth value person, and you are one of kind lol😁
Many thanks for this! Your signposting to the Railway Community, Benjakitti & Lumpini Parks were especially helpful, during my recent trip to Sukhumvit!
Mate!? You covert so much! 😮I love this episode! Thanks for the tip about Soi 14! I have never been yet and I definitely wanna check it out. Cheers mate and stay champ!
I almost asked you to go there last time we met in Bkk but I can't remember what happened, anyway it's decent and the portion sizes are big. She's been there over 30yrs
I must agree with everyone. Getting better and better. Top music, great presentation, informative and respectful. Couldn't wish for more. Bet there's a ton of viewers dreamily planning the next trip because of your excellent post. Thank you mate.
Another great production. I tend to stay in this area and during my recent six week stay, I had accommodation on soi's 18,10 & 19. On soi 10 I stayed at Center Pointe with a great view of Benjakki, which I walked every morning while there.
Another interesting view of Bangkok...... i liked the sign you were standing next to in Terminal 21, they seem to have 'borrowed' the London Transport roundal.......
I've stayed in the Sukhumvit area a few times. Didn't know about those parks and other areas. I have to visit on my next trip. Thanks for showing us around.
Another great, informative video Pat. So glad to see Bully's has reopen. I love Bangkok but generally find that after a week to 10 days the terrible air quality starts to get on my chest so I move out to somewhere more rural.
Nice. Soho pizza on soi11 is fabulous. As someone who’s eaten perhaps a gazillion pizza in his life I consider myself an expert. Perfect ny style grease dripping off. If anyone needs a break from Thai food that’s it. Across sukhumvit from there the pho stalls are also great. Heading back next month now that the Covid hassle has passed.
Thanks Pat for the great video! Two weeks ago I was asking myself what to do in the Sukhumvit area. Funny enough I went to the Kicking Donkey, Suda, Old German Beer House and Little Spicy. I can only recommend these places.
Fantastic information Pat, only just discovered your channel and loving the content- in Pattaya now and returning to Bangkok tomorrow for 2 nts , asok soi 21 walkable to soi nana bearing in mind I’m suffering with sciatica at the moment!
Loved the video especially highlighting Suda on there. When our team comes up from Singapore for the GAS football tournament that is a must visit. Looking forward to a quick holiday in September and another visit
Suda's is a great place and deserves the publicity. She's been serving great food for a long time, and it's busy every evening, plus there are 3 big cats that prowl around too!
I have been there 25 times since 1985, Did Nine Months as a Monk, Rains Retreat at Wat Sai Ngam in Supphanburi, some time at Wat Sai Dai in Nakhon Sawan, and Wat Racha Nadaram in Bangkok. Thanks again
@@BangkokPat There was an American tourist just off the plane (first time out of USA) he asked me what a catamite is. When I told him he went a shade of burgundy and almost fainted. I think he was connected to the church. The Hotel manager was a true dragon.
I’ve spent many of days and nights in the Asoke area and it still surprises me to watch your video and see places I never knew existed. Will definitely be checking out many of them on my next trip!
Another fantastic and informative Vlog. I’ve been watching expat Vlogs on Thailand for years and yours are head and shoulders above anything else out there. Great to see Billy’s has reopened. One of my favourite watering holes. Great food too. Keep up the great work, Pat!
Wow great video. I finally have my passport on the way & the first place I want to go to is Thailand! I wasted so much time in the military & never got to travel. Well, now it's finally time! I've been dreaming about visiting the land of smiles for YEARS. I'm going to reference your videos when I go hopefully in October. My plan is to visit for maybe a month, explore the land, meet friendly locals, & LIVE LIFE. :)
Pat you really do have some of the most informative videos out there. Much appreciated for the time you put in. Watching them always makes me want to visit again :). I did love the call-out about moaning about .75 pence (classic) In terms of getting around Bangkok where is better to stay, Silom, Siam square or Sukhumvit? Thanks.
Thanks Delboy, I try and fit as much as possible into every video, people always moan about such small things and compare prices but the way I see it, I go where the quality is. Siam Sq is busy all the time but you don't get the underbelly of drug dealers and freelancers lurking like Sukhumvit, Silom isn't that busy now so for all in value Sukhumvit fits the bill I think.
Bangkok Pat didn't even talk about 1% of the places in lower Sukhumvit. I guess if you would visit only one place per day you would never run out of new places which open all the time.
@@BangkokPat I wasn't complaining about your selection and obviously it doesn't make sense to try to mention everything. It seems @Fanko looks for something other than what you mentioned. I guess I would mention Bumrungrad (good to know where it is), Soi Arab, the streetworkers mostly between Soi 3 and 5, Foodland, Soi 7 entertainment, a few places in Soi 11, the steakhouse in Soi 19, the list goes on and on. And, not sure how interesting that is for your viewers, there are also lots of nice condominiums in that area.
Are you sure you wasn’t following me about last time I visited! I loved seeing my regular jaunts. You’re giving me the incentive to return fairly soon. Lovely video again Pat.
Cheers Joey, those places ain't going away don't worry! The area's getting busier! I've been up and down Sukhumvit so many times the last 2yrs shooting and seen it through all the lockdown crap and now it's come to life finally!
I took the train from Bangkok to Pattaya and it passed along that stretch of railway .It was day time .The train was very slow and i could see into peoples homes along side the track .
When in BKK, Sofitel is always my go to hotel. Great breakfast, bone crunching Bose Sound system in the base suite and easy to get around. Or frasers suites at Soi 11. Washing machine/dryer and kitchenette in the studio rooms and full kitchen in the 1 bedroom apt. Bit of a walk to get to the main road but value for money, and cheaper than the sofitel. Both are "guest" friendly as well. 🤣
You showed a shot of that salt encrusted fish "pla phao". No matter how cool and comfortable shopping mall food courts are, I've never seen pla phao for sale in one, and it's really good with a bit of sauce!
Popped into 'Little Spicy' Friday evening as per your recommendation. Indeed, good quality food, good service and plenty of choice at a reasonable price. Cheers
Another super video Pat. It has brought back a lot of memories for me from my short Bangkok trips. I never ventured along the railway track. What a pity but at least I know to do it when hopefully I will get back to Thailand in the not to distant future. John
You make Bangkok seem very interesting. My wife and I usually never spend more than a couple of days there before heading off to Isaan land . Never been to explore sukumvit rd in any detail looks like a lot to see thanks.
Great video Pat, I visited Bangkok for the first time in April and stayed at the Ambassador in Soi 11, for a week, wish I had known half the places you showed.
Thanks for the update excellent .wasn’t slightly spicy restaurant sitting on where darling darling Massage parlour used to be? Favourite place to b in the 1985s . Love it if you can feature Rang Mahal . Thanks. Again Pat cheers

Was in BKK last Dec, Jan, and will be back over same time this year, great info

Great video Pat, I visited Bangkok for the first time in April and stayed at the Ambassador in Soi 11, for a week, wish I had known half the places you showed.
Great vlog. Thanks for the recommendations and tips 🍲 . I have noted many of them for my next trip to BKK planned for September 🙏 krub
Cheers 🥃
Just back, stayed at Novotel Sukhumvit Soi 4 (literally 300M or so from Nana) and found it to be a great location.
Always informative & entertaining - well done Pat!
