right now we're heading on the mrt we are going to the klong toei market
and then we're going to head to the chiang mai soccer game which one is it that's better than me
chiang mai oh we're in bangkok we're going to watch port fc play chiang rai there you go
my favorite's the street dogs okay so we got on the mrt got off at klong toei
station we walked up the escalator we're outside it's beautiful and it's raining
looks like it's getting worse we'll see how we go it's not gonna rain it's not gonna rain
i've never ever seen anything like this before i've ever been in any market or anything like this
ever in my whole life so this is the first experience for me and there's a
lot it's a lot going on it's really crazy but the hustle and bustle is really cool
and seeing where everyone buys their food and produce and so this is the biggest like market
ever i didn't expect this i thought it was going to be like a street muscle without
food i mean it is food and things but there would be fresh produce yeah we're here at the
klong toei market it is the biggest market that i've ever seen in my life it is crazy we were
walking through everywhere and there's people throwing fish and throwing feet cows feed and
catfish and spinach just across the thing it was amazing and there was just so much to see
so much to buy there's meat and food and fruit and everywhere that you can look it was it's i've
never seen anything like this in my life i've never been to something like this if you know
me this is my first time in thailand and this was such a unique experience it's just amazing to see
things like this i also heard that restaurants and cafes and car there's a lot of them restaurants
and cafes in thailand no matter where they are in bangkok come here to get their fresh
produce and meat and food and everything to cook with so this must be the market to be at right
i don't want that to fall on me
so apparently kolong towie has a bit of a bad rap with um not being a sexist area and
everything like that but we went the long way around the market and took some detours because
we were having a really good experience those kids waving at us saying hello and
people very inquisitive about the camera and everything and it was really
i've never experienced i know i've said that five times but never experienced anything like that and
it was really really cool to see now we're walking to the game and we have people in the past playing
um their own game of soccer i think before the game starts so we are coming up to the stadium now
we're just going to stop by and grab some tickets um apparently have to be a little bit early
to do that so that's what we're going to do now and we're going to head back out to the
street and we're just gonna grab some street food and maybe some meat on a stick and maybe some
drinks see what they have so michael's obsessed with soccer and he likes fc tell them about it
so port fc is like the the club that represents the the port area or the dock area of bangkok
so where like the boats all that come in which is traditionally like your sort of
lower income area i guess so this club's got an awesome support from the locals
we just walked through kongtai market and we just walked through the community here
but this like these guys this is like the heart of their community and you come into this area
that has like lower budget apartments and lower budget shops and there's this stadium right
in the middle of it with big flood lights and awesome seats and be orange and blue everywhere
which tells you how important this club is to the local people apparently it's got a pretty big
foreign support base as well because it's like the closest atmosphere you can kind of get it's like
an english sort of game yeah here because they're like so like brutal and excited about their team
should be good so we picked up our tickets we're in zone c it's a stand but it's not under cover
zone a was already sold out and we're two hours early before kickoff so if you're coming to a
game like this come early now michael's just in there he's getting a jersey and he's getting uh
his name put on and everything like that i think he's had that cost around 1090 baht i'm pretty
sure and our tickets were i think 120 baht each uh so pretty good but now we're just waiting for
a shirt to print and then we're gonna head and get some food and stuff before we go in to watch
we got some chicken on a stick three of them two for me one for michael you've got a massive beer
like a massive with a straw with ice is crazy and then i just got a water because you can't
take food or drink in there and i'm not gonna skull a five-liter beer you won't like it
i don't like it it looks like just some fried chicken and all of this together was
100 water 60 160 baht for about seven dollars australian or six dollars us five dollars u.s
for three of these a big five liter beer it's not five liters but it looks like witness and water
what you want
so just sitting outside the game it is about seven o'clock and kickoff's in about 30 minutes
so we're just getting our fried chicken in so this is so different to a game or a
game of soccer or football in australia you don't really you don't eat outside street food isn't
really a thing in australia but normally you'd go in there you would sit and you would have a hot
dog or something while you're watching the game a drink inside a small beer very small beer and
a meat straight half training mid-strength beer so if you want to be like this you have to pay
400 and 480 baht but yeah we're just having a good time but at home it's not really like this at all
this is definitely more lively and feels more like nice fun yeah fun so i've been to football
all around the world i've been to barcelona i've been to uh london to watch premier league clubs
germany bundesliga dortmund bayern munich all of those all the big clubs around the
world and i think the best atmosphere pre-game is definitely thailand i reckon it's like to be
able to do this beforehand germany's kind of like this you'll have like drinks and
and food and all that sort of stuff out the front in in germany similar to this but this
is just like you can't beat an ice cold beer or a hot evening in the afternoon and then watch
a game of football underwater it's so good and no other countries like this maybe other
southeast asian countries are but this is the best this is the best
so we're here at the game and i just had someone come up and say they watch my
channel and i'm so happy so hi there's probably still what 500 old people outside or 300 people
probably more than yeah there's a lot of people that are still drinking and eating
yeah well that's michael's jersey we got and i'm wearing it
so the last two football games we went to were in chiang mai
and it was a lot quieter than this one so there is definitely a crowd and an atmosphere happening
and there's a lot more people here as well oh
i think he's pulling it off
what's your thoughts and what just happened classic chiang rai didn't want to win they
were happy to get a draw so they defended all game but i will say i've seen some dodgy
refereeing my time and that was the most dodgy referee i've ever seen especially the the lions
were on this side i think the referees went for chiang rai awesome money was in someone's pocket
michael was very passionate about football it was just really bad refereeing but the atmosphere was
really good and despite being an illegal scoreline it was really entertaining it was it was good
i've seen three nils and three ones and like not as entertaining as that that was
still entertaining i will say that this um this game was a lot like even just a
stadium where we're sitting and everything is a lot like more pleasant to be in than
the one that we went to in chiang mai i think that one was because there was like a running
track around it or something you felt so far away from the pitch or is that a pitch field
but this one like you feel like like it's right there so yeah it was really good
yeah disappointing that wasn't going but we got a disallowed goal so everyone celebrated like a
wedding so it kind of felt like we got it anyway i think i got that on on my phone i had to put my
camera away because like nothing was happening and then all of a sudden everything happened
well that was a super entertaining game and i've done two things today that i haven't really
done before well i've been to a game in chiang mai we went to two but i've been to one in bangkok
and i haven't been to one with this much energy and i haven't gone to a market before like that
like i did this morning so today was a very eventful day but now we're gonna go and go home
get on the mrt head to bed it's late now and make sure you like and subscribe
leave me a comment below if you go for chiang rai or what's this one called
or port fc okay and i'll see you in the next one bye i've got chicken in my teeth
