10:45 .. thanks for turning the camera there.. Insaf court.. lived there in mid 90s with family in my teens.. Walked through those internal roadways every day to soi 11 and 15... me favorite though take a walkimg short cut through (inside) ambassador hotel to main road.. At the time Sukhumvit artery was all sunny road.. No overhead train or bridge..
Goddamn i LOVE bkk! Spent many a month there and years in thailand. Cant wait to go back again! I stayed before in din deang very local and much cheaper then sukh area. LoVE bangkok! The smell the people the sounds the feeling is amazing
My old neighbourhood! What a beautiful throwback. I remember walking exactly the same route from Nana and sometimes grabbing a burrito from Margarita Storm. The Hyde had just been completed and the Hyatt was nothing more than a bare building plot back then. In front of Sukhumvit Suites you would sometimes have knee-deep puddles during rainy season and as a pedestrian you would try to walk zigzag and squeeze up against the walls to keep your feet dry. Soi 13 is in a great location to get to Terminal 21 or Robinson's on foot. What an amazing video!
I remember back in the 90's the area where the Hyde now sits was a huge open area filled with lots of popular food stalls that reached as far back to the driveway of the Ambassador Hotel front desk area on Sukhumvit Soi 11. We used to use the shortcut from the back of the Ambassador to Sukhumvit Soi 11 to 13 even back then to get to Sukumvit Soi 15.
Really enjoyed the trip from Nana up Soi 13. I stayed in Sukhumvit Residences many times. Last time was Feb 2020 for 3 weeks before flying up to Chiangmai. Fabulous location Soi 8, 11 and 15, Asoke etc. I'll be back later this year. Best wishes from me here in the UK.
I stayed at the Hyatt Regency in November 2019. Awesome hotel, great location, very cool rooftop bar called Spectrum. I will definitely stay at the Hyatt Regency next time I can travel to Bangkok.
I spent two weeks at the Aspira Hotel just as the pandemic was getting started in 2020. A decent place with rooftop pool at a cheap price, although a bit old.
The sky walks is very good so when keep walk here it not to hot much i love To using it ! Also the condominiums that was nice ! Thank for great informations . . 👍😍
Spent many a night having drinks on the corner where the Hyde now sits. Always so interesting watching everyone. Made a lot of friends and heard a lot of very interesting stories over the years!
Bangkok is constantly changing, things are different from one month to the next......looks like your job keeps you busy, and still have time to produce a quality channel....great job Jeroen....see you in your next video!
It's a bit cold here in the UK, although we are promised a bit warmer weather over the next few days. We built a snowman in our back way, it's melted now. Well yesterday it did. It's arms,eyes and nose are still there laid on the floor. About 7 or 8c today is the high. Not bad really. Could be upto 10 or 11c in the next couple of days !!!!!
I realise you are a knowledgeable guy after watching this video. I didn't know about apartments or condos and the difference between them. There must be some very rich families in Bangkok. A question...do you own anything in Bangkok? Bri and frei east Yorkshire.
@@globaltravelmate The reason i like the sky-walks if you are not in the mood for the people selling on the street you can get away from it all . At times it is great to mingle with the street folk just sometimes i need a break
One thing you don't see in Thailand is Fire Department in any of the neighborhood. I'm wondering how would they respond to the fire or emergency situation?
From memory there is a Fire Station on Sukhumvit around the On Nut area. One New Years Eve some years ago I was in my rented apartment in the Trendy Building and could hear the sirens of Fire Engines racing to attend the fire at Anteka(sp?) which killed many people.
The further away u walk from the train station, the cheaper the condos it get??? How much is a two bedder on average from 15 mins walk away from nana station
