This is a nice feature. I wasn't 100% sure if we were talking about the same canal, but this confirms it.
Those numbers on the map make it much easier to get my bearings and follow along with the video. Thanks!
Yes ! Interesting, exciting, and educational. One of the only such Bangkok vloggers. Most of the rest of Bangkok vloggers are just spitting out repetitive tourist trash ! Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the kind words Hector!
Agreed. If I see another vlogger sitting at a roadside stall and banging on about the noodles, it’ll be too soon.
Unfortunately, a majority of the people like to watch trash vloggers 😂.
I’m always learning something from this channel about Bangkok that wouldn’t be possible as a tourist alone even if I’m there. That’s what I love about Pat’s channel.
This man produces beautiful, high-quality informative videos about the history of Bangkok. I rarely see this on CZcams.!
An amazing and dynamic city, is Bangkok. Thanks Pat for covering it, with such a depth of research and detail.
Still the best content creator in Thailand. Always learn such interesting details. 🙌🙏🏻
Your videos makes me miss Bangkok all the time. Maybe I should visit again in the next year or two.
I'm headed there in October for one month! I'll say HELLO to Bangkok for you.
@@kevinp8108Me too, the full month of November. Busting to get back, the wife and I adore Thailand.
I used to work in Sathorn Nakorn Tower at Chongnonsi 25 years ago, and would often look down and wonder at the House on Sathorn which was in a state of disrepair then, and across to the old cemeteries thinking about the by-gone eras.
I loved such a detailed 2-part Chong Nonsi special!! I always stay at Silom area near Chong Nonsi every time i visit Bamgkok. I love this area. Pat's research was thorough, and every second of the video was enjoyable!! Great job again, Pat!
I concur. I thought I knew this area well but I stand corrected. Thank you Pat! I ate at two restaurants you mentioned last May, but I missed the Err restaurant because it didn't pop up in g. maps. 😊
Thanks so much for including our friend, the monitor lizard. Really appreciate it, mate. Love your work!
One more fantastic video. Great production. Definitely the best BKK CZcamsr.
I can see how much hard work you pun into your content.. shooting, research, editing...keep it up, Pat.
Pat never disappoints. Production quality off the charts!
Bless you for those videos.
You are now my michael parkinson of thai vloggers
Always loved the 'diamond tower' condo in Chong Nonsi, it's a big weird pyramid, looks like a bit of 80's retro futurism.
Your videos are excellent, love the history and depth of your research. Your 2 videos on the Sathorn area brought back fond memories, seeing my 1980s home at Diamond Tower and (after a 5 year gap in Hong Kong) my 1990s home at Palm Courtt (now Siri Sathorn), as well as the old BNH where my kids were born and the many old houses that used to line Sathorn. Left Bangkok in 1997, for many subsequent foreign assignments, but still return 3 or so times a year (but always stay riverside now).
Brilliant content of Sathorn! I live here and learn a lot from your videos!
I spent part of my childhood in the Sathon neighborhood. I was born in the St. Louis Hospital, went to preschool at Sang Arun Kindergarten on Sathon 11, then went on to finish 6th grade at Assumption College next door. Sang Arun Kindergarten backs up to the Wat Don Cemetery. While living at the boarding school, we would hear about ghost stories and ghost sightings. The area has changed quite a lot in the 40 years since I left Thailand. Interesting and insightful videos. I remember several mansions you mentioned. And they should knock down the Ghost Tower eyesore. Such a waste!
Love your channel mate, very informative. Especially the history of This wonderful city. Keep up the good work 👍
Thankfully there are still some beautiful old historical buildings still standing amidst the towering glass and concrete the love of money tells the story, thanks for sharing 🏴❤️x
Gee! A real gem of guide videos! Thanks so much! Very educational! I have passed over these places several times and seen nothing.
Did the Wat Don cemetery with you a few years back . Was a great tour round the area. I think we walked that canal with no name. I remember heaps of cats
Your knowledge and work is actually priceless! Thank you very much Bangkok Pat!🔝👏🙏💙🇹🇭
Your videos are beyond entertaining, they are so interesting and captivating! Thank you for the effort you put in them, it’s very appreciated.
สวัสดีขอบคุณที่คุณ ให้เกียรติมาเที่ยวประเทศ Thailand บ้านฉัน😊❤
ขอขอบคุณและดีใจที่คุณสนุกกับวิดีโอ!!
Excellence again wrapping Part 1 into 2. Love the music and the deep research taking me to a few spots I wouldn't be caught dead in, yet.❤🙏
Fantastic video Pat, really really informative, and about an area we love.
Great two parter Pat. Some beautiful houses along the tour. Thanks for all the hard work bringing it to us. 😊
hope all the comments are providing you with all the encouragement you need to keep these interesting inspiring and informative videos coming
Great second part. I am one of those in the camp of leaving the dead to lie where they were buried. It’s a bit nasty to turf them out and sell the land.
Another superb video thanks Pat , your research and presentation is second to none 👍🇹🇭🇹🇭.
Another fantastic video pat, maybe your best yet 👍👍👍
Another great video Pat, I always stay down on the river as I enjoy starting and ending my day in Bangkok on a boat.
Pat Great video and fascinating look at local history.🤗
Cities such as Bangkok are a collection of villages, thanks Pat😊
Yet another excellent video Pat.. cheers
Hello Pat. I live there now. I rent condo near in a amazing place called Knightbridge Sathorn. Thanks for covering that area. Hope to see you again in BKK soon.
Another fascinating look at this area. Thanks.
Another brilliant video. So much history. Beautifully researched. Your unique style never disappoints
Thanks Pat.🫶🇦🇺
Glad you enjoyed it, cheers 😻
28:52, been there several times, one of the best local food places in all of Bkk imo.
Good one Pat. Interesting. Thanks for sharing
Pat, Again a Very Interesting Video with your Clear Historical Comments. 🙏
Yes, as expected. Another great vlog.
Thankou so Pat, a great tour!
Bangkok Cats with Pat - new name for the channel 😊
A great area Pat and well worth spreading over 2 vlogs nice one 👌👌
17:35 ... the Robot building: That if R2-D2 becomes architecture. I wish it started talking to us
In Manchester UK, the Council moved a full cemetery to make way for a new Tesco supermarket, what was immoral was the families were charged for the removal and
re interment of the graves, although they had no say in the matter. Same same different country. Another great Vlog Pat.
These Sathorn videos have been really fascinating, an area of BBK I'm less familiar with. Really love the cinematography of those night time shots, so colourful and vibrant. Thanks for all your work Pat. Oh and anyone in BKK right now, I can highly recommend Pats walking tours!
great memories
I appreciate the work you put into these videos. Two small comments. Earlier on you showed the storefront of Kai New Zealand. I have never been myself however know people who have been, some many times. The reports (first hand and online), while the food is good the end invoice is an eye watering (read expensive) affair. As far as Saint Louis Hospital is concerned, since their renovation, their prices are in line with Bumrungrad. I think all the private hospitals as well as Siriraj have gotten onto the fact they can milk customers by taking BP and weight, often without a nurse present (the BP machine prints out the result). So money for nothing. Some charge up to 400 baht.
Nice one again here Pat. Thanks for sharing
Ruthlessly I would say
Thanks for this video, mate. My wife has an apartment in Sathorn so I've been walking around those places a lot but I've never really known the history of the area or background of most buildings around there. Very interesting, indeed. Definitely deserves a sub!
Great to hear that! Cheers.
thank you very much for this and all of your videos. I love them all. It's fascinating to see the historic places then and now and get a glimpse of what life is about in the different Sois...and by the way... nice music taste: "Well it goes to St. Louis, down to Missouri, Oklahoma City looks so, so pretty..." ;)
Thanks so much a another masterpiece and deep dive into Krungtheps history
Cheers, that was a marathon video shoot for two videos!!
Great as always. And even an Alain Delon polo!. Fancy :)
A great watch , interesting & informative, very well researched and edited 🙏 an interesting area for sure that I’ll explore 😊
As Always Pat, much appreciate your vid's, so entertaining. Thank You
I give you a thumb up because you mentioned Route 66 by Depeche Mode. My all time electronic music band
Their version was sung by Martin, which is quite effective!
Quality vlog as always from Pat.
Great video. Thank you.
wonderful, pat. I enjoyed your random shots that didn't have to do with carrying neighborhood storylines, but nonetheless were worth seeing. not every shot has to have a story behind it, for sure.
Would love to spend at least one night at the W Hotel and dine at the lovely old former Russia House. If you're a local it would be pretty cool to work there too.
great video, interesting area
Thanks!
Cheers Alison, appreciate that very much!
ทำดี ทำถึง ข้อมูลแน่น มีภาพเก่า ที่หายาก เป็นกำลังใจให้ครับ เสียดายอาคารเก่าหลังงาม หลายแห่งที่ถูกแทนที่ด้วยตึกสูง ด้วยความที่เป็นทรัพย์สินส่วนบุคคล หลายที่ปล่อยรกร้าง ขาดการรักษา ต้องขายที่ไป บางหลังก็เกือบจะถูกทุบทิ้ง ยังดีที่หลายอาคารเก็บไว้อย่างดี
I love Bangkok and been in Thailand 5x already, but this almost documentary like infos in this channel is such an eye opener! Love it and thank you for your hardwork,for us to enjoy! 🎉
Really a great video!!!
I LOVED that BUS. It went right to my place. So nice.
Samui now.
fantastic video
I lived in the Ascott for 6 months back in 2006. Looks like there has been a lot of changes since then.
Awesome episode!
Great video Pat ❤ Chong Nonsi is the station we get off at when we stayed at the Standard a couple of years ago. We were wondering about the cemetery we saw from our room & this video pretty much said it all! The Mahanakhon building is quite impressive and captivating. Thanks for sharing the historical aspect of this area…you’re the best Pat😊
Brilliant content Pat 👌🙏
Love the old hoyses
I must say BP Your videos are the most informative and a joy to watch, and nice to see you do alot of research for the said videos, and very professionally narated, and a bit of history too.Well done and keep it up...Cheers from Southampton Rich.
Cheers Rich 😻
Fantastic and fascinating video as always Pat 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Mark, cheers mate.
Another good infomercial Pat will have to visit the Irish pub next trip.
You'll get a warm welcome there Sam, most of those restaurants are not on my radar!
I used to stay at Sathorn Inn many times back then, didn't know it still exists. It was affordable and close to the BTS station
Thanks for the video Pat. Very interesting especially the graveyards I need to try that Irish Pub, I think it is quite new
Grazie.
Thank you 😻😻
I’m glad you found that 70s era house and took a look around. It really looked a lot like our house on Sukhumvit built in 1968. Sadly, it is long gone.
I look around them because soon they will be long gone as you say, what will it be replaced by? A couple of modern town houses of good quality I think, as it's Sathon.
I almost always stay in the Sathorn area of Bangkok when I visit. I really like it and it’s a great centre point for getting to all the surrounding areas of the city.👍
Absolutely brilliant Pat. A masterpiece mate. I thoroughly enjoyed it 👍👍
I used to own a shoe shop at the MahanNakorn building and so I would often find myself hanging around ChongNoni area, All the businesses were waiting for things to really take off when that building opened but it never really improved the soi's around it, a lot of us thought it would become a world-class area, I think its because of the King Power/ Pace Development mess, the powers that be know there is failure at the heart of that build and so it will never be iconic
There's an overpriced mall that customers are forced to walk through when coming back down from the Mahanakhon tower, and of course being King Power things are more expensive than they are in other places. I doubt they cared about making the area take off
Absolutely agree with your assessment. We checked out the King Power mall after watching a local Thai video recommended. Nothing to write home about. Not even photo worthy.
Danke!
Thank you very much!!
Liked & Subscribed 🎉
Glad to hear that!! Cheers
Great to see you just around the corner at the British Club last week,,, Andrew
Thanks Andrew😻😎
Another gr8 vid loved the random night shots
Do a video on Rama III area next! It’s a bit under the radar, but worth a shout! (I am a big fan of yours and I live around there. Would be interesting to see what you make of it!)
Yes you are right, l will do it at some point soon, been looking at the map to see how wider an area l will cover.
another excellent video Pat, actually since i came accross your channel i have been thinking about moving back to thailand and your informative content is making me look at Bangkok. keep up the good work my man 👌💯
Thanks for another excellent fact filled video. I have wondered about the history of those cemeteries, a shame most are closed to the public. Thanks as well for including a Google map, I will be walking in your footsteps soon.
Pat
Killing it again with the great Video.
Thanks so much for your very interesting videos Pat! Always look forward to them krap! 🙏
Stayed in Chong Nonsi last month, great neighbourhood, keep up the good work sir
Excellent vdos Pat! Great to find out about the history of the various buildings and area.
Another amazing video Pat. You are so talented and your videos are so unique and interesting. I miss bangkok so much (was there in November and April) and these videos bring so much joy. Whilst I love the tourist aspects of Thailand I have spent a lot of time working in Thailand as well so these more real life and historic videos really appeal to me.
Yet another great video Pat. You must have put a huge number of hours into putting these together. Thank you mate
Many thanks Pat, learned of so much to see & do in Sathorn when we stay near the end of Sathorn road in November for three months, cannot wait, Chas & Pauline.
