hello everyone and welcome to the channel if you happen to be new around here my name
is Trevor and this is Anna we are the delightful travellers make sure to hit the Subscribe button
and click the Bell because we have a lot of fun adventures here in Thailand so this one
might sound kind of weird to you especially if you're from say North America but today
make a mall here in Bangkok in our past experiences in Southeast Asia the malls
are usually pretty epic so hopefully this one will be the same as we mentioned in the last video we
do need a few things really to look for a few things so this seems like a good place also we
hear that the food court is amazing you're gonna have to wait to see why but I think you're gonna
be surprised so to get to this Mega Mall we're gonna have to take the sky trains actually that
thing way up there so we're trying to find the way up since the last video we've taken the MRT like
the underground Metro and we figured that out so we thought why not see if we can figure this one
out too all right I always forget how cool this is I love that they have this it's basically like you
walk up the stairs and you're on a pedway I wish it went a little bit farther in other areas it
seems like you can actually walk a really long way in these headways rather than being down on the
street this makes it a lot easier because there's obviously a lot of traffic a lot of people down
there it's definitely quiet we're not going to say quieter less people but not quieter yeah well this
is what's neat you got the traffic down there we're kind of one level up but right above us
this is like the rail line the big concrete block yeah I know we have to see if we can actually find
where we buy our tickets and where we get on the train so we got our cars so last time in the last
video if you watched me took the metro and we got tokens that time this time we got cards so we'll
have to see how that works we tried to go to the machine I think there are multiple machines but
the ones we went to only took coins you definitely don't have enough coins uh we went to a person it
cost 34 Baht for the two of us there we go I mean this this is uh this has been way too easy so far
I know the other thing is we are just going one stop I'm sure some of you will be aware
that especially you guys from Bangkok but we really wanted to try that with the sky Train
so easy one stop I know you guys are probably laughing at us but like Trevor just said we
did want to try it plus it's like 34 degrees out and I think we're gonna be getting lots of steps
in a mall today so I'm not too worried about the exercise first things you actually go through with
scanner when you come into the mall I think it's pretty standard around here but again if you're
from North America maybe Europe you're probably not used to seeing that but we are at Terminal
21 this is one of the most popular malls in all of Bangkok when you first walk in you're actually in
a little like mini market sort of thing or people selling jewelry and all sorts I mean at least at
this entrance anyway but there's all kinds of uh vendors here which I don't think I've ever seen
this in a mall so one of the main reasons we're here today is we're actually trying to find some
things maybe stock up on some things that we are in need of we had some things break we had some
clothing that just isn't working out that's the thing it's like you travel full-time you get a lot
of wear and tear on your clothes so here and there it's nice to be in a big city where you can come
to a ball with loads of choices and just replacing stuff I cannot get over the sheer size of this
small I don't even know how many levels it is yet also I'm starting to recognize some brands
that we're familiar with already plus there's like live entertainment here in them all that's
not something we see too often so in the past few years I do most of my shopping around the
world especially in like h m and Zara because you can pretty much find them everywhere and I used to
find that they were really good for finding Basics finding tank tops and like just t-shirts and like
just some really easy basic outdoor stuff but lately it's like all crop tops Teen Titans little
things for like 20 year old 100 pound girls it's not working we're not 20 are we we're not 20 and
we're not 100 pounds we are in the mango store right yeah there's a recent discovery in the
last couple of years and I usually find they have more mud what's the word looking for more mature
clothes age appropriate thoughts on onesies this looks super comfortable but I always think about
like going to the bathroom but also stuff we have to go think about because we only do like carry
on only so I don't have a lot of space these are long pants though I totally missed what you said
I thought this was a dress you said a onesie oh it's a onesie but like going to the bathroom
in a onesie that's kind of annoying but I also would take up a fair bit of space in my suitcase
definitely have to be very very mindful of when we're buying things success I found a couple of
things but I'm not going to show you what they are stay tuned in the next few videos there's
probably a good chance that I will wear something new and I'll put you to that guys for the test do
you really recognize the clothes that we have so if you see something new leave a comment in
the next coming next upcoming few videos so a bit of a funny story for you guys in our in our past
life when we had real jobs we used to shop at like really kind of higher end clothing brands
something we do not do now but we do see those stores around in here but when we're traveling
as much as we do we got to watch the budget you guys know what I mean we gotta watch the budget
we can't be spending a lot of money so now what we spend our money on is all things travel we spend
it more on experiences you know restaurants culture things like that not material things
although I'm not gonna lie it is nice to have material things at times isn't it I know you guys
know that this is funny there's a Crocs store here we've been casually kind of talking about Crocs
lately mainly because we keep saying should we get a pair of Crocs I mean that means we have no style
at all right what's your guys opinion on Crocs the only reason we say it we wear like flip-flops
flops or thongs whatever you want to call them but when it's in rainy season it's raining they
flop back and your clothes just get muddy these they're like slip-on kind of shoes but I don't
know I don't think I've ever seen a pair of Crocs that look good funny enough when we're getting on
the escalator a couple floors below I noticed it says something like 4-1 Rome and I wonder what
that meant and then we got up a few floors and there's all this London themed stuff we've got
a double decker bus so I think each floor is like a different city and notice it says three
is Istanbul but we got you know that's pretty impressive and I mean it is the small has been
Ultra impressive so far this is super fun we're just now passing the uh well passing through the
Istanbul floor and now it looks like level four is San Francisco heading to the USA I think we
are slowly making our way into the food area as we make our way up this floor seems to be a bit more
of a restaurant but that's not what we're going for today no we hear the I think there's a cool
food court in here somewhere that's the rumor but in general this mall is just crazy I mean this is
we're in San Francisco right now who knew well we have just stumbled into a food tour but it's
not just any food court this is the biggest food court that I've ever been in by far the biggest
one in a mall I cannot believe how many people are here and how much food is here now we did make a
selection it was very hard we went for some like a soup pork Tom Yum but before we get into this
we have to explain how this whole system works because in my pockets I have a cart and this is
how you get food you use this little card I'm so glad I actually researched this in advance because
we've if we had just shown up I would have had no idea how this works so basically you can't go
up and just pay for any different thing at the different kiosks you have to go get this card
first so you kind of have to estimate what you're going to spend you just put we put a few hundred
Baht on it you give it to the person they give you the card back when you're done eating you're
completely finished if you have leftover you take I think take the card back and we'll give you your
change back we're actually pretty inexperienced with Tom yum soup only because normally when we
see it it often seems to have seafood in it this one did not so we immediately went for
it because it's just we've been trying to keep a lookout for it basically it's broth it's got
pork I thought there'd be noodles but there's not maybe you order those separately or maybe
they're not normally in here someone can correct us and there's like bean sprouts and maybe some
spices in there as well one thing I don't like about this process the condiments or the extra
things that you normally put into a soup are right up at where you get it and then you
bring it back to your table and being totally on experience with this never having this dish
before I don't know what to put in it he didn't even have Cutlery with us so if we're supposed
to add stuff to this we didn't I'm just going to say that up front but I'm going to try this
broth he did ask us if we wanted spicy and we said yes maybe that was a bad idea see [Music]
spice is such an interesting thing sometimes you take a bite of something that's spicy and
you don't notice it until like 20 seconds later after you swallow it this is totally
different you actually get the the real like Smoky very smoky very pungent-y uh spiciness
right up front so then it kind of goes away really really quickly so interesting you can sweep itself
a little bit salty but not too salty I think the pork kind of adds that in there it's quite simple
but really good I like it okay I got a big old piece of pork here smothered in
the bean sprouts if you can see kind of the broth just dripping off it let's go for it
that is some flavorful pork it's absolutely delicious really tender but I get what Anna's
saying with the spice it hits you right away like the minute it hits your lips it's just like but
then it fades on over time but with the bean sprouts as well it's very good of course the
broth is just exceptional I'm glad we went for this dish we've been talking about tom yum soup
for a very long time now and today's the day we finally got to try it so looking back at
the menu there was an actual option with pork tom yum soup with noodle so we just didn't we weren't
aware of that either way we love the one we have now moving on to this glorious dessert this my
friends is mango sticky rice it is not the first time we've ever had this but we have been missing
this dessert so much when we left Thailand we went to Vietnam now we're back and we said it in the
last video like this and coconut ice cream might be our favorites but today we're having this also
what is this music in the background right now oh it stops the minute I say that okay I got a
little bit of mango got some rice on top of the rice itself is coconut milk and this is just a
magical little combo of flavors I can't wait to try it again it's been it's been a while you guys
[Music]
bear might say this is the best dessert in the world I love it I didn't know how
much I needed this in my life before I got to Thailand how is this so so good it's like three
simple flavors that just work magic together if you guys ever get the chance try this out
the music's bad the best part is I think this was only like
35 bucks that's the thing about this food court it's known to be one of the most affordable
places in Bangkok to get food there's so much food here and there's cool music like this behind me
as you guys might have heard us mentioned in the last few videos we've had some camera equipment
break recently one being a GoPro a couple of other things it's just I guess the nature of traveling
and doing what we do we go through a lot of equipment it's an expensive job you guys keeping a
lookout for uh some new stuff yeah we're not gonna buy it today but at least we can see what they got
we haven't come across like Tech stores in a while this one's called banana interesting name we're on
another floor of the Hollywood floor it used to be also a combo of like Tech stores phone stores and
salons and spas well they did have a GoPro there which is the camera we need to replace we don't
use the GoPro very often at all it just would be nice to have for like when you're on a beach
and things like that to go underwater but it was 750 dollars for the medium Canadian that's a lot
of money for a GoPro for a camera you don't use that often do you guys even care would you would
you even want to see footage with the GoPro underwater or in the water we're just curious
but it is a good tool to have in our back pocket isn't it yeah few other things like the instant
360. yeah insta360 is another camera that looks pretty cool it's not just for 360 but I think it
can kind of be the RS or something and then the DJ yeah so anyway not to bore you guys with tech talk
but if there's any camera nerds out there like uh me let me know what you think in your opinion like
the GoPro there's a DJI osmo and there's also an insta 360 RS it's the one I've been eyeing I just
need to find a better price but don't worry we'll always use this camera as the main camera here's
something I never thought I'd be talking about in a vlog but I just went to the public washroom
here in the mall in the fancy fancy toilets they felt like the built-in bidet and dryer and it does
all the fun things it's just not heated that's the only thing look at this it's got those animals in
a mall that's amazing well I still can't get over the sheer massive size of this super mall should
I call it a mega mall a super mall this place is insanely huge and I absolutely love it yeah I we
spent quite a few hours here obviously we didn't film the entire thing because that would be really
boring but it's bigger than you can even imagine I don't even know if you saw the whole thing
oh not not even close there's all these like around the main stores and like the center of
them all there's these kind of like back alleys with with kind of tiny little little Boutique
I like just there's so much to see and do here you can come here all day like multiple days but
I'm curious if you are from Bangkok or if you've spent some time here do you have a favorite mall
is this your favorite mall is it a different one Lisa recommendations Below in the comments because
