This man produces beautiful, high-quality informative videos about the history of Bangkok. I rarely see this on RU-vid.!

@Hector5257 3 месяца назад

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 🙏

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!

@MarkRobert-BKK 3 месяца назад

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.

@40yearexpat 3 месяца назад

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).

Clear to see, most of the charm of what we knew as BKK is being demolished for the sake of "progress." Big business owners and other infulential folks seem to look to wipe out this classic Siam charm in Bkk.

my old neighborhood-i lived on sathorn soi 17 from 2004-2006 in the muslim neighborhood. we had a call to prayer speaker right outside a bedroom window. the somtam place looked a bit different. we had to drive our car down that tiny soi to get to our parking space next to the muslim cemetery. as for the chinese cemetery i remember overhearing a foreigner call it “thai future park” LOL. brings back a lot of memories. we paid 7,000 baht a month for a small two story house. it’s still there at least it was in 2011 last i was there

The concept of a pauper’s field is probably non existent inThailand.A different outlook is taken to final resting places is maybe due to Christian views being different than those of Eastern Religions

@elevatorshoes 3 месяца назад

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

@BangkokPat 3 месяца назад

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

@gchow6009 3 месяца назад

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.

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.

@BangkokPat 3 месяца назад

North London, although my true accent is a bit hidden in these videos as I am trying to talk more clearly. I don't think Thailand has got as expensive as people say. 4 Baht on a litre of milk in 5 years is hardly breaking the bank.

I enjoyed the drone footage intermixed with the man on the street shots. I assume you outsourced the drone work to someone (jeroen?). That being said, you poking your head into small sois or old houses is what makes it interesting.

@BangkokPat 3 месяца назад

It's a very built up area with shiny towers of different shapes so drone shots are good for this, mostly Jaroen and some were by Rob (Project Bangkok) in part 1. Usually I'm not big on drone footage otherwise it becomes expected in every video, and it becomes less personal.

@abesouth3805 3 месяца назад

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.
