[Music] so stay with me this 20-minute video will definitely make your Bangkok experience better I guarantee it enjoy this short preview [Music] I [Music] what [Music] [Music] [Music] up [Music] so I saved the best for last so stay with me till the end and you'll see my two favorite [Music] activities okay here we go so now I'm going to take you step by step to 15 Bangkok Musto activities that'll definitely make your trip better so here in Bangkok we have the sky Train and an incredibly userfriendly Subway don't be afraid to use it here in Bangkok you need it believe me you don't want to get stuck in a taxi for 2 hours the sky train goes over everything and get you there in no time and it's really fun and really friendly and really safe so don't be afraid of it it is your end so our first stop on the sky Train is going to be chitlom station and we're going to walk the Skywalk between chitlom station and sayam station and you can enjoy looking at all the amazing shrines on this particular Skywalk you'll see all these Maps when you get there it is really something that you got to do while you're in Bangkok really exciting the Skywalk is your friend it keeps you out of the hot sun out of the rain and you can walk over the traffic and you don't I mean it's just really exciting to do you can get on and off anytime you want you can duck into a super shopping mall of which there are many you can look down over the traffic you'll see things you never thought you'd see before and it's just it's really exciting it's got a lot of great energy you're going to love it so you're going to get used to the Skywalk and you can just go for as long as you want I mean it goes on a long way and here's some rain right here and uh you'll see the Skywalk protects you from that rain but it's really fun to do this I I I highly recommend you do the Skywalk so in Bangkok the Jim Thompson House is your best opport Unity to tour the inside of an authentic thae house as well as view some Thai Gardens it is really spectacular you got to make a stop to the Jim Thompson House very easy to get to get off the National Stadium stop on the BTS get out of exit one out of the station and it's a 5minute walk and go enjoy this place it is really worth your trip to do this [Music] so after you're done gawking at all the amazing antiques inside the jimm Thompson House you can literally walk you know maybe 5 minutes outside the Jim Thompson House Down to the canal and you can catch yourself a water taxi and have a real tie experience take the water taxi down to pattam Pier or all the way to what I recommend you do head off to Watt suette or the golden Mount and this is really a tie experience get on the Water Taxi be sure you have 20 to 30 bot change to give the driver and uh and just get ready and have fun and head off to praam Pier as I said or the golden Mount and you're going to have a great day so right now we're passing underneath that Skywalk we talked about earlier so watet also known as the golden Mount is one of my very favorite things to do in all of Bangkok very authentic tie experience it also comes with an amazing view from the top and you can see all of a 365° view of old Bangkok so this is really something I highly recommend you do cost about a 100 B about $3 just to walk in and then you got to climb around 300 steps to get this amazing view and it is worth your [Music] time [Music] okay so next we're going to uh take the sky train to the sapen taxin station so we're going to exit the station we're going to take a 5minute walk down to the southorn pier down to the Chow pry Riverfront so for 150 b or less than5 American dollars you can buy an all day pass to do the Hop On Hop off riverbat which is an amazingly easy way to explore the amazing Chao pra River so what's cool about the Hop On Hop off boat is it doesn't lock you into anything you can spend as much time at one place and as little time at another you can come and go as you want and you have all day to do it I mean I think it's really the best way to explore this incredibly busy fun exciting River so a little trivia for you chiao pra River means River of Kings and I'll tell you this river is the heart and soul of Bangkok so I happen to think the best way to organize your Hop On Hop off day is to end your day at the famous uh icon sayam so they arrive at night and then you can enjoy an evening of eating and dining and please allow me to suggest that you make your way to the the seventh floor at Icon say find your way to the Starbucks Reserve get yourself a chai latte or an Americano and enjoy bangkok's best free view okay so now we're arriving at Wun and this is also known as the Temple of dawn it's 70 M tall and it's covered with tiny pieces of color glass and Chinese porcelain spectacular at night as you can see really is an amazing sight from the river and you'll really enjoy this as you pass by so be sure to pay a visit to wat po also known as the reclining Buddha this particular Temple is one of the oldest temples in all of Bangkok and also one of the largest and in fact this Temple actually existed before Bangkok was considered the capital of Thailand this is definitely worth your time to pay a visit to and very interesting history so no visit to Bangkok is complete without a visit to the Grand Palace it's like walking through a fairy tale the buildings are absolutely a inspiring and amazing it's just something you got to see and you will see if you're coming to Bangkok I mean you can't not not visit the Grand Palace so a couple thing you should know you should try to visit earlier in the morning one to avoid heat and also to avoid the crowds and you also have to pay attention to the dress code ladies should cover their shoulders and shorts are not allowed so you should wear long pants so these are important things you should know when you're visiting the Grand Palace and uh I mean it's really an amazing experience so bangkok's Chinatown is one of the largest chinatowns in the world outside of China it is bustling with street food and markets and noise and chaos and TK TOs and it is exciting you got to go to bangkok's Chinatown preferably in the evening and on a weekend night and just just embrace the chaos and have fun so this is the time to uh get out of your comfort zone and try something new walk down a little side street when when you see a lot of people sitting at a certain stall then that probably means that it's really good food check it out have fun this is really an exciting night for you so really enjoy it during the daytime there are tons of interesting little alleys to explore here so check it [Music] out okay we try out our wons Mark so I hope you stay with me because I did save the best Adventures for last so the last two Adventures are my favorite in all of Bangkok so hang out with me for a little bit longer okay so now we're going to take the yellow line to bangkok's very best Night Market so in addition to a huge music scene and amazing food scene this Market has a retro Vibe with a monster collection of antiques and vintage cars and all kinds of things for you to get your photo taken with or just gawk at these things this is a very special Market [Music] [Music] [Applause] can so try to make your way to the train Night Market uh there are hundreds of night markets in and around Bangkok this one though is a bit more special it's a bit more thae which makes it I think really special so I combined Kang bang langang together with the artist house because they really go together and this is clearly one of my very favorite authentic things in Bangkok to do do this go here enjoy it please and thank me in the comments you come to these bridges over the canal it's for walking and the other half is for scooters and we're up high so the canal boats can go underneath of it here come a couple now [Applause] [Music] what obviously this is a photographers Paradise so I was so impressed by the artist house and Kong bang Leong that I did a specific video solely on this area and you can see that in the description I posted it in the description but if you are interested in this I urge you to watch that particular video and go here [Music] so in my opinion this is your best opportunity to experience authentic [Music] [Applause] [Music] Bangkok spe so I
