THIS IS THAILAND 🇹🇭! Mango Sticky Rice, Temples, Tuk Tuks and probably the world's best Apple Store! 📸 Instagram: / zane.jpegs #thailand #bangkok #streetfood
TIP: Unless you're using a Meter Taxi, never get a quote for a ride from a taxi driver or tuk-tuk driver! They will always overcharge tourists by double the amount! Use a ride-share service like GRAB or BOLT so you know exactly how much a ride should cost.
Grab is a rip off too though. Meter taxi is the cheapest and most reliable. Then once you know the meter price you can negotiate with any taxi drivers that claim their meters are broken.
Thank you for sharing your journey!!! I applaud your tipping and money energy exchange!!! I hope you have time to engage or show how everyday people live in Bangkok. Their homes and neighborhoods. Enjoy being “Zane Unlimited”. You are truly living it!!
Wat Pho is an old temple south of the Grand Palace. It is also known also as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha rebuilt by King Rama III in 1832. The King also decreed that traditional Thai massage and traditional medicine be inscribed on stone tablets to deseminate the knowledge to the general public. The famous Thai spa and massage are believed to originate from such stone inscription. King Rama III was also known as Merchant Prince because when he was still a prince he conducted trade with China and asked the ship captain to bring back stone sculptures such as Chinese deities, mythical beasts as stabilizing balance in the ship's belly. These stone sculptures are now commonly seen at Wat Pho, Wat Arun and the Grand Palace. When President Obama had only one day to tour a Thai temple, US Embassy recommended this temple due to its unique architecture, history and beautiful reclining Buddha.
very good choice for the mango and sticky rice. the sticky rice of this shop is the best in my opinion. if you have a chance to try other stores, you'll know what i mean. by the way, sometimes you need to bargain when buying things from ordinary stores in thailand. even for that tuk-tuk, you should bargain. he overcharged you, 50-60 bahts are enough for that distance. when taking taxi within the city, they are required by laws to charge you per meter rates, not a flat rate. subways and sky-trains are also very easy to take and cover most of bangkok + cheaper to get around for one person.
Thank you for making the change, to live authentically and in spiritual, physical and emotional well being. Safe travels on your digital nomad journey 🙏

Great job on your videos. I commend you for traveling to a foreign country on your own and trying new foods and experiences, that’s takes a lot of courage! I’ve been to Thailand twice but I’ve always had my Thai wife with me. Keep it up 👍🏻
I have been. During my 20 years in the Navy I used the different ports o call as an educational experience. I also took advantage of all the different foods. I am jealous
Welcome to Thailand I hope you will a good time there.Please watch out when you are crossing the road even at zebra crossing.Thai mango is the best in the world especially with sticky rice.
Hi Zane, came here from your other channel, just wanted to let you know🥰. Will be following you videos more when you get to Europe. And hope you will be going to the Eastern Europian countries too💕
I'm going to watch all of your video. You are so nice by greeting the local in thai with "sawatdee" and you always give extra tips i hope you enjoy your exploring in BKK. Welcome to Thailand 😊
The % cafe is really good and it was/ maybe is still very popular in mailand China, hong kong , and I frequented it when I was living in London. I recommend that you check it out whilst you are in Thailand.
If you plan to vitsit Bkk about a week or more you should have MRT card, Rabbit card(BTS skytrain) or Thai smile bus card (for EV Bus and EV Ferry).You will save a lot for Transportation cost in Bkk.
The temple was believed that was built in 1688-1703 in Ayutthaya period. The first king of Chakri dynasty established Bangkok as new city in 1789 restored and reconstructed the old temple and established as the royal temple. The riclining buddha was built later in king rama 3 period and even turn the temple into university for people to study many subjects from literature, archaeology, pharmacopoeia, versification and even medical. Those buddhas in the corridor was collect from all over the country in order to preserved it because before that time the burmese destroyed many of Thai temple and arts and buddha statue.
While BMTA non-aircon red bus is very cheap at 8 baht, it is relatively hot in humid Bangkok all year round. For those Thais who live along Chao Phraya River, there is an alternative. You can patronise Chao Phraya Ferry Service at price less than 20 baht or more for the longest distance. Cash only for fare. The service started about 50 years ago, using diesel engine to propel the boat. However, starting in 2020 there is a new competition of modern aircon electric boat service at a flat fare of 20 baht for all destinations. MINE Smart Ferry accepts Visa/Master Card card or you can buy fill-in card. Cash is not accepted. There is also an aircon electric tourist boat for 30 baht fare. You need to purchase a ticket before boarding a tourist boat. There is also an open-air top deck on tourist boat if you choose to face the weather and have a better view of Chao Phraya River and its environs. For crossing Chao Phraya River to the other side pier, the fare is cheap about 5 baht. However, there is a free ferry service to cross Chao Phraya River to IconSiam and AsiaTique to shop/dine.
Most foreigners always hang out at Pattaya beach I think. Beers and bar. You on the other hand exploited out and away from beers and bar scenes lol. That's refreshing.
That’s not true , you just generalizing. Many ‘normal’ tourists come to Thailand, not only Bar or Pattaya type. All the place that he went also touristy places as you can see the seller can speak English when general Thai people don’t speak English.
Correction: Reclining Buddha not Sleeping Buddha. What a miss! You didn't visit the Emerald Buddha Temple and the Grand Palace which are close to Wat Pho.
Welcome to Thailand. Almost everything is good and safe here, except the traffic. Thai drivers are not very disciplined. Breaking traffic rules can be seen frequently. Be very careful when crossing the roads. Motocycles might come from nowhere and hit you. Do not fully trust the traffic lights for drivers may not follow them. Also food gets rot more quickly in a very hot climate as it is in Thailand. Take only newly cooked food. Whenever you feel stomach pain after eating for a while, immediately make yourself vomit all food in your stomach. And you'll be safe from food poisioning.
