welcome to the busy city of Bangkok we are staying at this brand new hotel called Chi
Art Series and it is located in the area called Klong Toei and we've never stayed in this area before so
this is new for us so before we head out today we'll give you a little room tour
as we walk into this super cute room the first thing you're going to see is the bathroom and
it has a funky pink toilet it's beautifully decorated it has the shower the sink and it's
quite a big washroom for this room size it was my first time using a pink toilet
like that nice right yeah quite nice and then you have this big mini bar here
i mean it's not complimentary but they really do tempt
you because they have red wine white wine spirits all these snacks and how Progressive
is this they even have um cannabis teas like high tea and French Kiss dreams in color and then we
go into the bedroom so this king-size bed was so comfortable we tried to wake up early but it
was really a struggle because it was like a soul sucking bed and behind the bed you're going to see
those lights they change colors we were playing with this for like probably an hour playing with
the light last night yeah it's so cool I haven't seen this at any other hotels last but not least there
is a balcony here too even though the view is not that great because it's just wires but we'll show
you actually I changed my mind it's a pretty neat balcony because you get to like watch local life
just down here is like a very very local Street you can see people living down here
motorbike taxis waiting for customers some small restaurants it's quite a busy road
they're making pork floss you want to come see yeah it smells so good
we were following the smell it smells so good and they're making fresh pork floss
we both love pork floss put it on bread we put it on congee put it on rice but then I keep
saying pork floss and they're very confused as to what it is because they call it something else
is p-o-r-k yeah f l o s s
pork floss
pork jerky
this is crispy pork its not pork jerky then you have to tell them what you told them was wrong
oh my God let's get this it's so good I think some fell inside my shirt isn't it so delicious
I like this one yeah
can we get two yeah
this is so cool
I've never seen them making this fresh before these are
ready they're crispier a fresh batch yeah you can see the color difference
she said when it's crispy like this you can keep it longer if it's chewy
it doesn't last because there's like moisture inside right so how long can
a bag like this last in that plastic bag because there's no preservatives
I grew up eating pork floss you too yeah I think a lot of Asian families
they feed their kids with pork floss yeah pork floss on rice pork floss on congee
or even pork floss in like burger buns or like soft buns right yeah I'm so happy to find this place
it is actually a family business and they've been doing this for 40 to 50 years it's passed
on from generation to generation so you can tell that all of their work here it's a labor of love
we haven't even stepped like far away from our hotel like our hotel is literally right there
but it's already so exciting to be in this area of Bangkok we used to spend a lot of time in sukhumvit
yeah where all the big buildings are the malls but we had a hard time finding local shops around
there that are affordable yeah when you like plug it into Google Map like restaurants it's
99% of the time we got malls yeah so it was a bit frustrating for us so I'm glad we're staying at
the new place and there's so many options around here just walking down this street okay let's keep
walking because we did have a destination uh when we stepped out of the hotel we were going
to go to this fried pork place called Jeh Jong and it's around a seven minutes walk from here
I find crossing the road in Thailand is more difficult than in Vietnam isn't it
yeah in Vietnam they'd probably stop for you yeah people drive fast in Thailand we spotted
something that is very typical in Thailand which is this crazy wire setup watch your head look at
this it's like an open wire sticking out yeah and don't touch the rail yeah avoid touching
the rail and we probably should get going yeah this is crazy oh my gosh look at this
this is probably like the most epic one that I've seen in Thailand I've
never seen they run the wire along the like iron rails like this

oh it's busy I think we just missed the rush hour okay their signature dish is fried pork on rice
but you can choose other stuff too you see yeah let's go take a look at that
first so they have fried vegetables fried tofu fish balls bamboo shoot with squid salted egg
boiled egg even stir-fried pork liver that's a lot of good options here I'm gonna order the
classic fried pork on rice for you you don't want anything on top right i want the classic and vegetables
did you see their pork machine over there they sell so much that they have a machine that they just throw the whole
piece in there and they cut it up for them oh really yeah they need to be efficient and fast
I think this is for like working class you know like families because the portion sizes
are very cheap delicious big portions really filling meals but it does like
look really good I'm excited to try it and the two is only for 92 baht that's like 46 baht each
wow that's a really really good price for this much food so I got the fried pork with
vegetables and you got the fried pork with liver yeah and eggs and they have this sauce
here I see people just like pouring this over their rice and over their pork it's
like "nam jim jaew"so it has a soy sauce some fish sauce maybe and roasted chili flakes
spicy spicy and sour spicy there's also a sweet
chili sauce too that you can put I think I might like mix the two
the pork is really good
it's tender and lean but it's not dry you know what I mean the only thing is it's not hot the
reason the pork is not hot because they do it on purpose so that it doesn't feel greasy Thai
people like me don't like greasy food they like dry pork on rice this is like a comfort food for me
for a lot of people they might find it boring but for Thai people this is this is very good
so we just hopped onto a Tuk Tuk we are headed to Centralworld because we can't come to Bangkok
during the holiday season and not go experience the crazy decorations at the mall we could have
taken the MRT from Klong Toei because they also have the MRT station there which is only 10 minutes away
from our hotel but it's always more fun to take the tuk-tuk just to see what the city is like
and how lively it is and being stuck in traffic a little bit it's a little bit more expensive
but you get the feel of the city of Bangkok and this ride is going to cost us how much 180. he
initially asked for 200 and i said 150 and he said no I'm not going i'm like okay 180
we don't do this like very often so I think like 180 is fine and I think we're almost at Centralworld
I can already see the tree sticking out from the top over there is it big it's pretty big
do you feel the holiday spirit yet I definitely feel it here and it's so nice
like just with everyone out here enjoying it I think this is like the most people we have
seen in a while it was crazy I was standing over there trying to like watch the performance
crowded it was so crowded but it's really nice I'm so happy to see Bangkok like this
So Bangkok never disappoints in holiday decorations I think the theme this year is
pretty cute it's like the LINE dolls the LINE uh stickers I think LINE is only popular in Asia oh
maybe so people from The States or Canada may not know what line is but it's an app like uh
communication app that is very common in Thailand and you can purchase
all these cute stickers which are these characters oh it's called LINE FRIENDS
so the theme is LINE FRIENDS Embracing Happiness
i think i know what i want
i want a croffle a croissant waffle
what's on top whipped cream and a cookie like that cookie is a biscoff cookie hey I think that's enough dessert oh my
goodness this looks amazing too look at these what is that brioche rolls so it's
like bread inside but then they have like toppings on it and then they have donuts wow
let me give this a try I think the best way is just to grab the whole thing
it's actually not just whipped cream I think it's like marshmallow almost there's so much
food here I think we have to call it wrap things up so that we can grab more food
we wish you all a Happy New Year and we have some exciting travel plans in 2023 and we
can't wait to show you guys take care stay safe and Have a Wonderflo Holidays bye-bye
