  • My first day in Thailand exploring neighborhoods and street food in Bangkok. Well it's finally here, my first day exploring Bangkok Thailand. Join me as I take you on a (mis)guided tour on my first day in this crazy city. I explore food in Bangkok as well as some local neighborhoods and markets. I risk my life on a motorbike taxi. Taking the BTS to On Nut was a good way for me to check out a potential area to move to. Thai street food Thailand is amazing. Let's explore the street.

      Thailand still has mask restrictions in place. Definitely indoors. It’s getting more relaxed outside and they are no longer fining people for not wearing one outside. You could walk around with the mask pulled down, and I see lots of Westerners that walk around with no masks at all.

    That meat balls you ate. It's called Sai Krok Isaan, or Northeastern Thai sausage. It is made out of fermented minced pork and rice. very tasty and it's my favorite snack.

    Great. I love Bangkok. Was there several times as a student as I could not afford anything else. Do you need some recommendations? For example, I loved the rides on the river bus boats. They are super loud as noise distracts the bad ghosts. When I had a super loud bus boat, I went all the way to the end station. You have a beautiful view and action. It is amazing how the drivers slam the boat just with whistle signals to the pier. Everybody just jumps on land or on the boat and then full throttle ahead... 🤣👍 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

      Thank you very much. yeah I’ve been to many different countries and I would say so far the drivers in China were probably some of the most aggressive. As for the history, that is one thing that I am trying to work on his remembering to include some information about where I go. I’m hoping to do that in my next two videos that should be out in the next couple of days. See you soon.

    Fact: Boat noodles are a favorite dish in Thailand. They're made with loads of herbs and spices, plenty of pork, and a secret ingredient: pig's blood. The blood is used to thicken the broth, but it also adds a rich, umami-like flavor to the dish.

      That monitor lizard was the smallest one I saw in the park that day. There was another one swimming that had to be at least 4 feet long. These things are kind of all over the place. As for the wires, I’m simply fascinated by them. It’s just this crazy tangle up in the air. Half the time you can hear the electricity running through them. It’s amusing and frightening at the same time.
