Wow, I love your new neighborhood. I love the more local vibe, less tourists and super convenient bus terminal. Oh and you are right next to a Phed Mark? That is amazing.
Personally I think this is not a local vibe, it is Asian tourist orientated vibe, similar to Thong Lor. You can get a local vibe by taking 30min BTS ride south-west, literally no foreigners, but it might not be not everyone's cup of tea.
It is far more of a local vibe than the former area but I mean, the further you go the more local. I kept going 7 hours into Isan and I hit a high level of local. If I go another 4 hours into Lao or Cambodia it's very high local or Myanmar for nearly maximum local local. If you go more far than that you hit the north pole with ultra level local penguins. @@bamboo6044
Wow I never knew Ekamai district has such a quiet backstreet while the main road itself is very loud. Congratulation to your new and better life there any way. Ekamai bus terminal is also called eastern bus terminal. It's a hub for traveling to eastern region (Chonburi, Rayong, Chantaburi, Trat). It was once very busy but today most of the east line vans go to take off from the larger northern bus terminal (Mo Chit) instead.
Yeah, there’s definitely some quiet side streets here. And you’re correct about the name of the bus stop. I showed it in one of the images as I was walking away from it. I didn’t see it when I was walking up because it’s so light colored.
Interesting phenomenon for your new home ground....it offer some peace and calm.... traffic is still jammed pack at the main road....enjoy your stay Serg...🎉😂
Ekkamai...a nice place...This was my first stop after landing from Pattaya to Bangkok. Certainly a peaceful area than Asok. I did explore it during my first trip but wasn't having any plans to start a CZcams channel then in 2017. I m sure you made the right decision moving here.
Serg, great video mate! Someone we know said do not get mini bus as they are cramped and do multiple stop between destinations so to use the public large buses! Direct point to point and cheap! Mark Weins, go out the back and see the filth and leaking drains - front looks great but the back is less than clean!
I’ve taken one of the mini buses twice when I have to come back from Uthai Thani. They are a bit cramped. I solve that by buying 2 seats each time so I could just put my stuff next to me. It was only $5 per seat, so no big deal. I avoid looking behind most restaurants. Lol.
Used to live in Ekkamai Soi 23 at the end of Sukhumvit Soi 63. Yes, the BigC is nice. I loved the Orange juice vending machine in front of it a lot. Yes, and in Gateway I also used to shop. By the way, if you search for a gym there is also one diagonally on the other side from Gateway. I am not doing sports, but I know it because I used to avoid the stairs from the BTS Station by using the lift in that building. 555
It’s a nice neighbourhood Serg Iv been there a few times. It’s good to have a walk around .strange enough I never went into that mall then this year for the 1st time I went in there lots to eat and some nice stalls.
Brought back memories of Ekamai when I was there last year. I went to that bus station to go to Pattaya as well. And I ate at PhedMark and ordered ... a NON-SPICY pad kra pao lol Felt kind of embarrassed ordering it but it was pretty good. Thanks for showing us around again. And yes, would love another supermarket tour/haul.
Omggg we got the new vlog faster than I expected. I loved thisss and I have to agree the neighborhood and roads seems more calmer even tho it's still super busy 🤩 also congratulations on moving in !! Very happy for you. You seem very excited ab the move in :)
It’s still pretty hectic, but nowhere near as bad as my old location. I think I was just excited because I found that market this morning while filming this video. I thought I was gonna be much much smaller. It’ll be my new place to go for lunch when I want something simple.
Yay for the upcoming motorcike tour! Looking forward to that. I'm seeing dozens of cool restaurants and places to go all around you. Congrats on your big screen and great video!
I've done the Ekkamai to Pattaya Cheap Charlie Bus enough times in my life at this point. I will "splurge" every time and hit up my favorite car service for a private ride in an Alphard or a Toyota Fortuner. I never had bad experiences with the buses. They understand the assignment and get it right more times than they don't. This new neighborhood looks great, Serg. Good choice. Looking forward to hearing about what's good to eat once you do more gastro exploration. Might be plotting on traveling up from Na Jomtien for a Bangkok trip in a few weeks.
I hear ya on the car service, my preference as well. I’ve taken the bus twice from Uthai Thani to Bangkok and it was fine. Seats were only 180THB each. OI bought two of them so I can just put my stuff next to me and not feel cramped. 🤪
Just recently your vlog popped up on my CZcams feed. Glad i clicked on it. I subscribed after watching one vlog. I like your style of videos. I think you deserve a lot more views. Good luck!
Great place. It is less hectic, and definitely I would love to see the shopping in the big “C” supermarket those are really fun videos to watch. Thanks for sharing.
I have lived in the OnNut area for 3 years now and really enjoy it.. I dont want to be by the tourists. From my condo to Asoke takes about 15 minutes. I enjoy walking around in the hidden neighborhoods. I will have to visit that market off of 42.
Ekkamai is a great area. Started out on Soi 23 many moons ago. Big Muslim community up there too - great food. Enjoy your new stomping grounds brother 👍🙏
@@carstensanonym7527 Walk down Ekkamai 30, and start there. If you're looking for the nearest Masjid, it's on Pridi 30, the next major Soi towards Bang Na.
Loved Ekamai district, i stayed at charming apartments 2 which was on ekamai st which is down the street from The Big C supermarket. The BTS is a very short walk from both mentioned places as you mentioned. So many food places. For my daily walk i would walk to terminal 21 mall asok to shop or go upstairs to the food court to eat. There are two malls their across the street from each other. Really really loved the area. I'll be returning to ekamai early next year.
Ekamai is good, very clean and quiet compared to the next 2 station. but since I didn't have much thing to do there and Gateway Ekamai didn't have much to offer compared to Emdistrict so I often skip to next area but it pretty great one for daily life.
Yeah, we all like different things for sure. I actually do not like the Emporium or EmQuartier mall unless I’m going there for something specific. It just feels way too pretentious. I love the DJs, the play, the escape rooftop bar there, and once in a while ago, and hit sushiro.
@@LifewithSerg haha it does! I use both mall as the center area for my navigation. Did you try Nakamura Custard, Japanese bread and pastry? It next to Emquartier! Another former Japanese family fining is near Emporium called Nigata kitchen
When I lived in Japan I’d stay here because my girlfriend was Japanese and had friends working there. Still do a day there when I visit bkk. Love the izakaya mock-ups. Used to be a cool speakeasy in ekimaii near there too
Love that area between Ekkamai and Thong Lo. I passed by Mark Weins restaurant didn’t know it was his. Have to check it out next time. There’s so much in that area though. When I lived there I went to that Gateway mall almost every day. The supermarket there can get a little expensive, but it’s great for quick pre-prepped meals that are a few steps above 7-11. It is quite a bit of walking getting around in that area though.
Really like that area went to mark wing's restaurant. And took the bus over to koi chong Island Can't wait to go back to Thailand love all your videos. Keep up the good work truck driver. Lonnie out here in California, keep on trucking.
Ekamai is very good place. Tons of activities. A lot of cool restaurants and also streetfood. Theatre (Major Cineplex). Star dome. Cool malls. You don’t miss anything that Asoke offers.
Yes, I am very happy that I moved. I literally just film this video this morning, and I was excited that I finally got to find a local food market near me.
Hi, I've been your Fc. since your stared to Thailand. I'm Thai living near Bankok, I would like to suggest that you try to visit a city without many tourists , Nan Province, in the nort of Thailand,it's a green,peaceful ,shady area with culture and beautiful nature and delicious local food and recommend another Province in the northeast,is Nakhon Phanom,located next to the Mekong River,it's a province with culture,traditions,many temples a history worth exploring,delicious food,and many things to visit. Try going and you'll see the diversity of Thailand * Unseen Thailand *
I explored a little bit more of the neighborhood today, but I did not make a video. I’ll probably do another video about this neighborhood in a month or two. Glad you enjoyed it.
It's considered the same neighbourhood: Lower Sukhumvit. You're just at a different station in the neighbourhood; there is very little difference between them.

@@LifewithSerg it's terrific. the best part is you're far enough from the crowd to have some peace but only a few BTS stops from busier areas. i have family living near ari and that's just a quick hop over (with some amazing foods just off the station there) or getting to the underground rail isn't far either. i can't wait to see you do your walks around those soi. i usually stay in soi 60-something and the permutation of being able to turn left or right and end up all over the place is nuts and wonderful. and the best part is, if i get tired, the bike people are usually not far away.
Hey Serg. Seems like I have been glued to your channel since I found it. I am a travel agent from canada and coming to Thailand on and agent trip. Very excited. Question What are the chances I can find some used GoPro gear? Do you think the prices will be comparable to here? I would love a GoPro for this upcoming trip. I have recommended your channel to all my fellow agents on this trip. Thanks for the info.
I’m not sure where you could find it. Unless you’re doing some extreme action sports, I just use your phone. All of my videos are recorded, and edited, on my iPhone 13 pro max. Thank you so much for your support, and I hope you enjoy your trip!
Serg, I went to an all boys school 5-7th grade which borders Ekamai bus station. Darakarm Schools In the Science Center for Education campus closed by, there is a planatarium open to the public. Of course, this was circa 1980.
Oh, that is so cool! The gateway mall gets absolutely rammed with school kids right around three in the afternoon. I’m not sure exactly which school they’re coming from.
@@LifewithSerg Planatarium show was really good. They used to have an Astronomy professor narrate the show live. Might be worth a visit. I am going to visit the my old school next time I am in Thailand. Cheers
My first introduction to your channel was a video you made about five months ago walking through a Lotus supermarket. Keep up the great updates Serg. I’m trying to plan a trip to Thailand for next year about late May. I just don’t know where to start or more importantly where to fly into.
Hey Peter, glad you found my videos useful. Just decide if you want to be at the beach, or in the big city, or in the mountains. It all depends how long you gonna be here. If you’re thinking about moving here, I offer consultation services, and you can contact me via the info in the description of this video.
@@LifewithSerg also, for tasty German food "Alexander's German Eatery" is very good, though they don't seem to offer veal, only pork schnitzels. I had the Jaegerschnitzel and it was excellent. Better than Bier House on soi 11. Finally, I here "Here Hai" is very good for crab fried rice. I never went but would like to. Maybe in December. There is always a line out the door.
Wat That thong is very famous not because there is much to see but because it is one of the very few temples in Bangkok that do funerals and cremation. It can be absolutely packed some evenings as you will find out, and if it's a funeral of someone important, traffic around there will come to a standstill.
If you are curious, nobody would mind if you wander around when funerals are happening, there are usually several every night as each funeral rite takes 7 days to complete. Just dress respectfully, black or white shirt. There's a lot of chanting in Bali/Sanskrit which no one understands. You may even be offered little snacks and juice, there are usually more than enough to go around. @@LifewithSerg
It’s just insane that somebody decided that a whole condo building would look great and purple. And not just this one. I’ve seen at least three other noble buildings that are purple.
i spent 3 months in the Ekkamai area this year and i loved it, very convenient location.
Yep. It’s great.
Thank you for showing us all around your new neighborhood!
You bet!

The mall is partially dessert, but I gotta tell you, I love the fact it is not filled with tourists.
I can not wait for next video
Should be out today!
1:40 bro, I love the excitement in your voice as you are walking through the food stalls.
Lmao. I thought this was going to be a 3-4 stall thing, was excited it was bigger. Had lunch here yesterday and it was great.

Thanks a lot.
Glad you enjoyed it.
The bus terminal near Ekamai is for eastern provinces.
Yes, you are correct. I failed to mention that.
Nice watch Serg.
Typically I like simple, black or stainless steel. However, the mission to Neptune moonswatch just looks so nice
When I lived in Japan I’d stay here because my girlfriend was Japanese and had friends working there. Still do a day there when I visit bkk. Love the izakaya mock-ups. Used to be a cool speakeasy in ekimaii near there too

My best friend lives in Huai Kwang. Great area.
I love your new neighborhood, Thailand is really awesome, enjoy bro.

Ekkamai till On Nut is the best in terms of services and quality of life. The smaller Soi are way nicer and peaceful.
I agree with you 100%. I do not miss Asok at all.

Amazing right how a few bts down the vibe is different. Welcome to the Ekamai area.
You’re so right. And if you go to the next stop Phra Khanong, it’s even more different.
Really like that area went to mark wing's restaurant. And took the bus over to koi chong Island Can't wait to go back to Thailand love all your videos. Keep up the good work truck driver. Lonnie out here in California, keep on trucking.
Keep on truckin’ Lonnie. You’ll be here before you know it.
Ekamai is very good place. Tons of activities. A lot of cool restaurants and also streetfood. Theatre (Major Cineplex). Star dome. Cool malls. You don’t miss anything that Asoke offers.
There is definitely a lot more in Asok within a very short walking distance. But here, it is just so much more chill. I am much happier, living here.
Enjoy the new neighborhood Serg! I wandered thru Ekkamai once when I was looking for an area to live in and it seemed nice.
I’m missing some of the convenience of Asoke, but I like the chill vibe here a lot more.
aahh this neighborhood is so coool! 😍

It's considered the same neighbourhood: Lower Sukhumvit. You're just at a different station in the neighbourhood; there is very little difference between them.
That might be your opinion, but it has a completely different vibe.
Also I live soi 42 lol you made a good decision
Oh that’s a good Soi.
1) the pronunciation is 'vit', not 'weeet' in sukumvit.
2) because purple is considered the royal colour.
3) sure, why not? i won't be seeing the building colour when i'm inside.
4) having that maxvalu is insanely convenient and i love them.
5) agree, that mall is insanely consistently quiet, especially compared to other malls off BTS.
also, with your enjoyment of walking, i think you will really enjoy the area.
I really love this area. I don’t miss anything about Asok now that I’ve lived in Ekkamai for 1 month.
@@LifewithSerg
it's terrific. the best part is you're far enough from the crowd to have some peace but only a few BTS stops from busier areas. i have family living near ari and that's just a quick hop over (with some amazing foods just off the station there) or getting to the underground rail isn't far either. i can't wait to see you do your walks around those soi. i usually stay in soi 60-something and the permutation of being able to turn left or right and end up all over the place is nuts and wonderful. and the best part is, if i get tired, the bike people are usually not far away.

LMFAO. Good one!
wow very nice neighborhood friend
It’s def nice here.
Great walk-thru. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Right across from PhedMark is a mall with an ice skating rink, bowling alley, and movie theater.
Yes, i’ve actually been to the bowling alley several times.
Hey Serg. Seems like I have been glued to your channel since I found it.
I am a travel agent from canada and coming to Thailand on and agent trip. Very excited.
Question
What are the chances I can find some used GoPro gear? Do you think the prices will be comparable to here? I would love a GoPro for this upcoming trip.
I have recommended your channel to all my fellow agents on this trip.
Thanks for the info.
I’m not sure where you could find it. Unless you’re doing some extreme action sports, I just use your phone. All of my videos are recorded, and edited, on my iPhone 13 pro max. Thank you so much for your support, and I hope you enjoy your trip!
Serg, I went to an all boys school 5-7th grade which borders Ekamai bus station. Darakarm Schools
In the Science Center for Education campus closed by, there is a planatarium open to the public.
Of course, this was circa 1980.
Oh, that is so cool! The gateway mall gets absolutely rammed with school kids right around three in the afternoon. I’m not sure exactly which school they’re coming from.
@@LifewithSerg Planatarium show was really good. They used to have an Astronomy professor narrate the show live. Might be worth a visit.
I am going to visit the my old school next time I am in Thailand.
Cheers
Welcome to the neighborhood!! I’ve been here about 2 months. We should get together for coffee some time.
I really do enjoy it here. I’ll put together a meet up soon.
Nice Omega x Swatch ❤️
I love it!
My first introduction to your channel was a video you made about five months ago walking through a Lotus supermarket. Keep up the great updates Serg. I’m trying to plan a trip to Thailand for next year about late May. I just don’t know where to start or more importantly where to fly into.
Hey Peter, glad you found my videos useful. Just decide if you want to be at the beach, or in the big city, or in the mountains. It all depends how long you gonna be here. If you’re thinking about moving here, I offer consultation services, and you can contact me via the info in the description of this video.
The food at " spicy by nature" is excellent if you like Indian food.
Ohhh. Good to know. I love Indian food. Will try soon.
@@LifewithSerg also, for tasty German food "Alexander's German Eatery" is very good, though they don't seem to offer veal, only pork schnitzels. I had the Jaegerschnitzel and it was excellent. Better than Bier House on soi 11. Finally, I here "Here Hai" is very good for crab fried rice. I never went but would like to. Maybe in December. There is always a line out the door.
Food, food, food.....
yum,,,😋
So much of it!
Looks like a great neighborhood.
Like anything else in life, it has its minuses, but I’m very happy here
I stayed at that Noble during Covid. Back then I think it was still maroon colored.
I’m just making fun of the color. I looked at the building, but it just hasn’t been kept up well compared to the other ones I looked up.
Very jealous of you Serg - my partner and I plan to move to Thailand in the future.
I hope you two have a wonderful new life here
Wat That thong is very famous not because there is much to see but because it is one of the very few temples in Bangkok that do funerals and cremation. It can be absolutely packed some evenings as you will find out, and if it's a funeral of someone important, traffic around there will come to a standstill.
That is good to know. I have never seen a Buddhist funeral.
If you are curious, nobody would mind if you wander around when funerals are happening, there are usually several every night as each funeral rite takes 7 days to complete. Just dress respectfully, black or white shirt. There's a lot of chanting in Bali/Sanskrit which no one understands. You may even be offered little snacks and juice, there are usually more than enough to go around. @@LifewithSerg
@Kwippy thank you for that information. I will have to go one night and observe the ceremony. I’m very curious.
Purple is my favourite colour but I do agree I wouldn't really live in a building that's purple either 😅
It’s just insane that somebody decided that a whole condo building would look great and purple. And not just this one. I’ve seen at least three other noble buildings that are purple.
@@LifewithSerg exactly and purple on large spaces hurt my eyes I don't know how people live in a huge building that's purple outside 😭
For the new tattoo
I’m gonna get a Tuk Tuk tattoo on my shoulder. Yay
