everything's a little bit stressful at the moment today has been really stressful otherwise we have
to leave the country today really didn't go to plan oh hello we are here today at fortune
town a few of you after my last vlog of being in mbk trying to find a lens or looking at lenses
suggested for me to come here so a few of you told me to oh
i just choked on my lunch so we just had lunch we have well actually it's technically breakfast
we haven't had breakfast yet so i have like a pad noodly thai style noodle with chicken
and michael had like a chicken katsu and now we're on the hunt for a coffee before we
shop for lenses oh you okay yeah i'm good so i got my lens finally after months of research
josie's very indecisive no i just want to make sure i got the right thing like there's no
what's the use in spending lots of money and then being like i wish i got something different
or something better right i've probably been in thailand what three months now and i think i've
seen it rain like probably like three times and now it's raining so we're gonna figure out how to
get home in a safe manner without getting wet um and then we have something special to do so stay
tuned for that find out what it is okay let me share my moment okay thank you take care of that
i was in the shower and as you can tell i was washing my hair and michael said we called up
insurance our insurance company earlier as we're renewing our visa in the middle of trying to
renew our visa it's supposed to be able to be renewed for another 90 days and i called up today
to get our insurance done so that we can go to immigration and get our visa sorted and extended
anyway so i called them this morning and um i said 90 days they said yes all good we got an
email just um earlier as i was coming out of the shower and michael told me that they only
extended it for 30 days um so now we're on a bit of a time crunch because they're not giving us an
option to extend it for another 90 days they're telling us that we have to purchase it for a year
we're not telling them not to go with axa but acts as who we're with at the moment
so right now we just have to figure out what our options are but it's a little bit stressful
seeing as though um we have to get our visa sorted literally in the next couple of days
ah everything's a little bit stressful at the moment as you can see just said
it's raining now i can't go out there to film anything oh today is just not going to plan
we couldn't extend it for the amount of time that we needed even though we kind of thought
that we could have that's what we got from that they extended yours yeah so i got extended for
the amount of time that michael's didn't and we they basically said we can't do it but i
got mine anyway so we've basically had to find a new insurance broker um because they were telling
us it was going to take us three to four business days to get the insurance sort of sent to us and
we don't have four business days our um visa runs out in like two or three or something so we don't
have that time and we need to find someone else to do our insurance otherwise we have to leave the
country which hopefully we don't have to do anyway it's just stressful yeah um today just didn't go
to plan i had a video ready to film and we can't do that now we have to organize our visa and
we might go out tonight to show you like a street food very popular street food night
market just so you can have something to watch but let's try and stay in the country good let's go
okay we're gonna have a little chat because today has been really stressful actually ended
up going with another company because they give us coverage right now on the spot we paid it's done
and hopefully now once we go to immigration everything's gonna be a really easy hopefully
process to get our visa and to stay normally amazon has really nice coffee but this one tastes
a little bit weird mark was off to get a haircut now tonight we're going to go and take you to
one of the most famous places in bangkok and go there for dinner so you're gonna
hopefully see baby we're gonna hopefully see
what that's like later on it's just been a weird day hasn't it look who's here after his haircut
okay so we're currently just walking now um down past siam square oh and they look like looks like
they're making it into a walking street not like a driving street and they're all just doing some
construction but we're on the way now to a post office because we want to send some stuff back
home to australia because we're carrying things that we don't really need see how much it costs
what are our options and how to send something home from thailand to australia we're going to
do that and then we'll get some street food for you for lunch and we'll see you there so the first
time we came to bangkok like a couple months ago we had really good street food from um a street
just opposite the icon paragon siam paragon sorry and we're like let's go there for lunch
we're gonna have food and now we've walked down the street and it's not here there's nothing here
there's no there's no street food there's no stalls there's no nothing so we think
the market in siam is currently shut down just because they're doing maybe the construction i
think on the other street but well it's not here so and we're hungry for lunch so we're gonna go
cut across to icon no no cm paragon sorry i'm sorry i'll get it right one day we're gonna head
up there and then head across to the shops but yeah we tried so much food in san paragon that
you probably would go there anyway so yeah anyone watching that's not from bangkok you probably will
end up there eating at some point in your life so come with us and see what it looks like and
it probably gives you a better insight to where you'd actually eat when you come here there's so
many options but we just kind of felt like some street food nice and cheap support local but no
one's here so let's go across there yeah we'll go to the freeport let's have a look that's right at
least we're going out tonight bangkok's obviously good and known for shopping right so there's some
really designer brands um in this mall and the malls surrounding it so we decided to come down
to the food court and just grab a card with some money and then walk around and just find something
to eat but there's heaps of options here there's obviously your chicken and rice
crispy pork and rice um and it's all around the outside sit on the inside and eat like a food
fort so let's find something there and some of the best food you'll get of course it's so good
here some of the best and some of the cheapest um from fruit courts and bowls are a good place malls
are a very good place to be especially we really like terminal 21 as well so we ended up with a uh
chicken skewers and then a chicken fried chicken biryani obviously that's not fully thai food um
but you can get it pretty much all over the place in thailand so that's what we felt like tonight
which is okay too so we felt like some protein sticks or protein on a stick basically protein
stick meat on a stick so we're going to try this one they just got a plate full of chicken ones
oh it's off okay so we're going to finish eating here and then we're going to see you later tonight
where we're going to take you something really awesome for some dinner some street food hopefully
which is what we've tried to get today but we'll see you then and hopefully we have more luck
okay so we're home with the new lens i love it do you love it look at that it looks good i love that
so this lens should hopefully be better in low light so every time i go to like the market at
night times or something this should be better so that you can help have better quality in the
night time in the dark time and the low lights and things like that now what other better way to test
this lens by going to some of the best street food in bangkok but at night time are you ready
yeah let's go i don't know where we're going yet let's take them let's take ya you in australia
we say yeah anyway so we're just walking down to chinatown now and we're just walking along
the road to normal road then all of a sudden you have a big temple in the background look
how crazy that is wow trying to find where we're heading to and i don't know if we know where it is
hopefully it's open okay so it turns out we came all this way and it's closed tonight on a monday
so we're going to go somewhere else instead i knew they closed i knew they closed then
a lot of the night like street food areas for cleaning on a monday the funny thing is i see
other tourists around doing the same thing yeah i think everyone didn't realize it was closed
today so oh well let's go to the next one okay so if i didn't tell you before i don't think i
did we went to chinatown to get some uh food and it was closed for the monday because it's monday
so like oh let's go to asiatics we're at asiatic right now but it also looks kinda close well it's
open it's just dead it's very dead right now it's a big big boat it's a bar as well is it a bar
restaurant well there isn't that much on right now to be completely honest with you we just
had dinner i had some pasta with some prawns and michael had a pizza and yeah it honestly
it wasn't my favorite food but that's okay um we just can't find any street food at the moment
i didn't realize this well i should have cause the boat's right there but that's
actually legitimately the water right there like right there so yeah it's pretty quiet look
there's everything you can't really see the background's a little bit blurry but there's
um not much going on here right now your pizza is good yeah okay my pasta wasn't the best but we're
gonna go to have a look around we did see someone with some juice so we're hoping that means that
there's some kind of street food here um but otherwise today just didn't really go to plan
but as we can still we can still show everyone what's asiatic which is a popular tourist place
it looks like at the moment or if you're gonna come out on a weeknight this is what it's like
so still pretty nice if you want to come down just have a nice dinner with us like
we still had a good time we did have a good time just not to show you and i've never been here
before so i i think it's quite quiet even for you know someone who hasn't been here but let's
go have a look around and see if there's any um food there's a big um ferris wheel up there for
reference our dinner was about a thou just over a thousand baht so it's very western prices but
you're on a really nice restaurant overlooking the river and so can you really
you know complain there's a couple of um things down there apparently these are like also shops
and things as well so michael's just saying that you'd come here and do your shopping maybe grab
some food by the water as well yeah you come down with your friends of an evening and like you might
have a look in the clothes shops then grab a dinner and some drinks so we found a little
alleyway and look there's still not that much open but at least these guys are yeah there's
not a lot there's not a lot happening but a couple of things out which is really really
cool dresses shorts luggage it looks like as well um but they mostly look closed like down there
not too much happening unfortunately but is that because it's monday or is that just because
it isn't busy right now oh no let me know okay well today really didn't go to plan
so i do feel like i have to apologize because i had so like i wanted to show you so many things
right and i wanted to take you to chinatown and i wanted to take you to asiatic and i wanted to take
you to buy my lens and to do all this and just nothing worked out today like literally at all so
i'm sorry about that but honestly i don't really feel like there's anything else i could have done
so thank you for sticking around with me today it wasn't the best of days but you know what
