We headed over to the Khao San Road area of town. Bangkok is a wild city and this is one of the craziest section. Music, food, drinks, you'll find it all on Khao San Road and the neighboring streets.
Here's a few links for my favorite credit cards. I try to check the links often, but let me know if there is a problem. If they change the offer on the card, I may need to update the link. Full disclosure, I get a few airline miles for referring a new customer. You should get the same public offer at no additional cost. Thank you very much.

I stayed on khao San back in the early eighties on my first trip to Thailand. Boy has it changed.

@EagerExpat Месяц назад

The whole world has changed since the 80's. But Khao San is still crazy. That's a good thing. It could be another mall today.

Boon was leaving you in the dust. lol. The band at the Suk Sabai was pretty fun, Ramones followed up by the Arctic Monkeys. Love it. Boon shows you the video to let you know what’s gonna happen if you step out of line,lol. Thanks for another fun video Joe.

Ha ha, ya don't get out of line with a girl who does muay Thai. Not a good idea

Thanks for watching. I'm not a Khao San guy, but I like seeing everyone having a good party. The side street is more my style

Thanks for your vlogs from the hood. It's good to know about that soi that's not Khoasan Rd. I spotted a few oldies, so I wouldn't be alone. Cheap beer and a good rock band too. I'll check it out. I'll be in Bangkok after my visit to China. I'm sweating heaps already🥵😅

@EagerExpat Месяц назад

Ya man, come on over. China is cool, but there is only one Bangkok

@stevensantiago746 Месяц назад

Khao San road reminds me when my friends and I used to do TJ nights in the 90's when we in our 20. I grew up in Southern CA, driving to TJ the bars would shake your head while pouring tequila and make sounds with a whistle😂. Im too old for that now early 50's. Im like you and prefer the laid back bars playing soft music. I guess I'm an old guy now😅

@EagerExpat Месяц назад

Ya man, I did my high school years in TJ too. I used to live at Iguanas at Pueblo Amigo. Nirvana, Janes Addiction, Chili Peppers and a 100 more great bands. I still like a good loud band, but the EDM isn't my thing. Maybe the laughing gas helps. I'll stick to the side streets.

@@K_one_w_one Ya man, the side street next to Khao San is a great spot. Come on down and check it out

@randyc754 Месяц назад

Thanks! Now I can skip that !! ❤❤

@EagerExpat Месяц назад

Ha ha. I hear ya. I'd still go check out the side street. I'll film that street soon. But it's much more easy going.

@LunaMiel186 Месяц назад

Rolling with the backpackers! Keep living the dream Brother, you and Boon are still looking good out there!🤘💪🙏

@EagerExpat Месяц назад

Ya man. The old backpacker area is still alive. Many young Thai's also hang out in the area. Still, I prefer the side street instead of Khao San.

@K_one_w_one Месяц назад

Good to know about that street that's not Khoa San

@EagerExpat Месяц назад

It's a great side street. Khao San is fine once in a while. But, it's pretty intense. I prefer a mellow party these days.

@silenziostampa4423 Месяц назад

I have avoided Khao san road every trip so far, but this time we will stay close; about 10 minutes walking distance from our hotel. I guess I will have to make a quick visit and then retire back to Rambutri (?) road. It looks a little bit more laidback :)

@EagerExpat Месяц назад

Ya it's a little crazy. The side street is more my style. But, it's worth a look.

@steverosse Месяц назад

"You can't get any more touristy than Khao San Road." We have vastly different definitions of the word "Wild."

@EagerExpat Месяц назад

Oh it's touristy. But any street where you can sit and enjoy laughing gas can only be described as wild. Maybe others think Cowboy or Nana Plaza is wild. To me that gets boring pretty fast. Yet, I'll agree Soi Cowboy is also wild. If you paid attention to the street walk, I'd say 75% of the crowd are young Thai's. That's cool to see. Bangkok does a great job with the party. Living in San Diego, we grew up partying in Tijuana at age 16. Those days are long gone. Today these kids have Khao San. It's wild and a great time. It's not for me, but not everything has to be for you and me.

@steverosse Месяц назад

@@EagerExpat Can't agree. Those farang ghettos are buttoned down tightly by the authorities. Nothing happens on those streets that wasn't happening there twenty years ago. Asians like uniformity and regularity, and so the same things happen over and over and over and over for centuries on end. If you read "A Woman of Bangkok," published in 1957, you'll see that nothing has changed in the commercial sex industry since then. Maybe new drugs have been introduced, but how they are sold, and who is selling them, has never changed. The women disfigure themselves with tattoos now, but the lies they tell and the tricks they play they learned from their mothers. Those places have been homogenized and regulated so that any tourist, knowing nothing about this place, can step off a plane and an hour later be intoxicated and paying for sex. When they have all his money they put him back on the plane. It's a machine, well oiled, efficient, and utterly without soul, wit, or style. It's dull as dirt, Dude.

@torvaldelletveito9181 Месяц назад

Last time I ate in Suk Sabai, the food was terrible. But ok live music

@EagerExpat Месяц назад

I didn't know they had food. The beer was good and cold

@chas284 Месяц назад

Thanks Joe, one place will not bother with, common sense Chas.

@EagerExpat Месяц назад

The side trip is cool. But Khoa San is wild

@Deadfoot-Dan Месяц назад

There are some great bars that are much more chill on the streets bordering Khao San rd., all the vendors ruined it for me, I heard they tried to get rid of them and they all wouldn't leave so they gave up. Like you, I think it is for the twenty something crowd.

@EagerExpat Месяц назад

Ya, I'm glad it's there. I'm all about a good party. But, the side streets are more my scene.

@Stephenuk-zc3xo Месяц назад

Bullshit corona just a distant memory but it's just a little reminder about how to enjoy yourself cause your freedoms can be took away at the drop if a hat, great video buddy 👍

@chayakompativejpisal8337 Месяц назад

That noodle stall owner used to be a World Boxing Champion in a flyweight category of the IBF. Proper Boxing! Not a muaythai world champion as you mentioned.

@EagerExpat Месяц назад

Oh wow, thanks for the correction. I just assumed he was Muay Thai. That's impressive.

The balloons have nitrous oxide in them.

@EagerExpat Месяц назад

Yup. I flashed that on the screen. Also known as laughing gas. It's probably not a great mix with booze.

@No_Strings Месяц назад

Thanks for going there so I don't have to!😂 The side street looked good though, thanks for the video. Qq, it's getting hard to get brand new £50 notes from local banks, used notes are available, though. Do you think this will be a problem when exchanging at Superich, etc?

@EagerExpat Месяц назад

Hey Andy. I think the 50 notes are fine as long as they are clean, no rips, no marks. But, I haven't exchanges money in years.

@No_Strings Месяц назад

@EagerExpat thanks Joe, I'll risk it . The notes are polymer, so should be good. Out of interest, do you know the daily ATM withdrawal limit please? Used to be 10k Baht, but I think they raised it

@EagerExpat Месяц назад

@@No_Strings Hey Andy, I'm not sure. I know I take out 20k once in awhile. I think I can take 25K out, I just never do.

@mmaranta785 Месяц назад

Can you call a grab from Khalsa road and get a decent price?

@EagerExpat Месяц назад

You can. I ended up paying a taxi 200b to get us back to Phrom Phong. Fair enough.

@mmaranta785 Месяц назад

How far is that from the Nana Soi4 area?

@EagerExpat Месяц назад

I'm not sure. Maybe 6km. It's best to take a taxi from perhaps the MBK area.

@tw25rw Месяц назад

It's miles away. I walked it once in the daytime. Fortunately, the 2 places attract a different crowd.

@Walk-retirement-travel Месяц назад

EDM is just noise

@EagerExpat Месяц назад

It's not my type of music. Then again, I like old school punk. So who am I to judge. Luckily, I can just head around the corner and listen to the Ramones covers.
