we've been in Bangkok for a few days now doing Bangkok things like eating street food
in Chinatown shopping checking out new markets we even came at the perfect time and got to meet up
with some old friends and meet some new friends however today we have a very fun video planned
for you join us as we get fully immersed in Thai culture and explore Bangkok the old-fashioned way
Thai costume rental shop it seems like everyone is very busy glowing up there may be a wait for
us Note is just going to go check the price and see what the package is for a daily rental
Note and Flora so what's the plan there's quite a lineup so we're number 21 she said it will
take around 45 minutes to an hour okay it's not bad it's not bad it's not bad nice and AC room
why not they did say that if you want to beat the rush to come at 10 30 yeah because it's quite busy
this is like the newest trend that people are doing the people who are here are actually
quite varied we have heard Vietnamese we've heard Korean Thai there are some foreigner boyfriends as
well here I would say like 50% Thai and 50% are tourists look at these these girls are so pretty
yeah wow that contrast color is actually really nice should we go for this one blue and light
blue for me and matchy matchy or contrast we'll see let's take a look at what they have yeah we
can check their Instagram see that's a nice contrast yeah the photos are so nice because
you can actually hire a photographer to follow you everywhere but the clothes rental itself is pretty
reasonable it's like 550 to 850 Baht per set and they give you like little accessories and handbags
and then there is someone who will help us to put the whole set together and match everything
I think I got the one I like which one I'm gonna go for green what do you think that is quite nice
yeah you would look good in green too well I was looking at blue before this one here
yeah but I don't quite have that pale skin tone so maybe we can try yeah we can try both
it looks like you can also bring your own makeup artist there's some people getting their makeup
done but most of the girls walking in they already have their full makeup done which is
looking really beautiful I feel like I didn't quite do enough I think you look pretty already
thank you just perfect not too much maybe I can steal maybe I can steal the fake eyelashes
you see color and you tell me which color do you like okay this is gonna take a while
look at it it's so hard to decide I do want to try a green one green one
wow I think that looks really nice on on you yeah and I show you one more matches your skin color
I feel like I'm so elegant already I think green yeah okay I'll do the green okay okay thank you
that's not quite elegant anymore
what do you think not fair you look good in anything
golden brown oh those are nice
this one okay
it has more contrast
oh my goodness you look so beautiful
okay you gotta see Flora she's so gorgeous here we go wow beautiful
you even got a little purse yeah and look at everything I can fit in my purse tissue
just in case it gets really hot I can't even put my phone in there that's all I can put it it will
become handy because it looks really hot so the plan today is we're going to dress up like this
and we're gonna go take some photos and explore Wat Arun and also outside the Grand Palace because
we're actually in the area yes but it's really hot outside so we're going to make a quick stop
at a traditional Thai dessert place first with you the sun is shining 24 7 cause when we're together
it feels like we're in heaven if it will get dark you'll be a million stars I know I can lean on you
gotta be honest it's a little hot yeah but it's it's not bad it's like manageable it's bearable
I think we should get the Thai traditional set
perfect so we ordered two teas we ordered a pandan tea and also the butterfly tea and
it's really pretty because you can see the ice cubes have pandan in it
wow everything looks super photogenic today this one is going to be like magic
you put the lime juice syrup
I think you did it wrong no it was blue now it's purple
kind of purple pinkish that's so beautiful so this tea set includes all these snacks here mango
sticky rice and also these ones here and includes one tea and it's all for 499 Baht we tried to ask
what these things were I'll test my memory here this one is Foi Tong which is egg yolk cooked in
syrup and these ones are mung bean cooked in syrup this one is a sticky rice with grated coconut that
is cooked in like a palm sugar caramel and then mango sticky rice of course most people know
already these ones are more complicated most of them have a little bit of coconut milk and
tapioca flour in there but they're all like hand crafted and it's super beautiful and very detailed
how pretty this is It's supposed to taste like nutmeg mmm
this one used to be my childhood favorite it's called "med kanoon" which translates
to jackfruit seed because it looks like jackfruit seed so this one is
shredded coconut cooked in palm sugar syrup on top of coconut sticky rice
huge bite
the shredded coconut probably cook in syrup and some salt
you know the interesting thing is of all the dessert here mango sticky rice is the only
one that is invented by a Thai the rest are like inspired by Portuguese I have to say you look very
very handsome thank you we're like super extra today huh dressed like this to eat Thai sweets
I think it's such a perfect setting to do this this part of town this part of Bangkok
is so Thai you have the Wat Pho right here you have the King Palace you have the river
with the long tail boat so it's kind of like they preserve the old ways of living around
here we have been getting quite a lot of looks from people but it's like really good look that
they're so interested like what are these people up to and I think a lot of people
don't know you can dress up or if they've seen people do this then they might think it's very
expensive but it's actually not no mine costs 600 Baht yeah full rental for like seven hours
with accessories and everything and yours is mine was 850 Baht because uh like different
material is like different costs I think it's it's very affordable and it's kind of a fun
unique thing to do and you can probably take some really good photos when you're in Bangkok
do you see a lot of tourists come here and they buy elephant pants
so that they can look Thai you know and experience the Thai culture
so we were just going to walk by Wat Pho which is where the reclining Buddha is but we took
a glimpse inside and it looks so beautiful so we decided to come in it's free admission for
Note anyways because he's Thai so I just had to buy a ticket and it was 200 Baht
so the grounds are pretty massive here I'm glad we were practical and we wore Converses instead
of something silly like heels I wouldn't wear heels true I I mean I wouldn't wear heels I
shouldn't wear heels we're now in the main Temple where the reclining Buddha is and wow it is bigger
than what we thought it would be yeah I didn't realize the scale of this reclining Buddha is and
like the crazy artwork around this building is so nice it's probably like four to five storeys high
and he's and he's sleeping he's reclining imagine how tall it would be if he was standing
nice and cold
so it's around 4 P.M now we have three more hours of the rental because we have to go
back to the shop before 7 PM we're going to start heading to Wat Arun which we are
very excited about because we need to go take a boat ride yeah to cross the river
That was a lot of walking today but we had a lot of fun we have been to some of the places like Wat
Arun before but dressing up in Thai traditional wear and coming here is just a whole different
experience we think it is a really cool activity for couples to do for friends we also see some
families also dressing up and taking photos so if this is something you want to try next time
you're in Bangkok we'll leave the link of the place in our description box below and we'll
also link all the other places temples and the dessert place that we went to today thank
you so much for watching and as always have a wonderflo day we will see you in the next one
