Welcome to Bangkok we have just got here and we're going to be exploring the city over like a few
days but i'm just going to give you our first impressions of Bangkok so we're in a district
which I'll put below and basically lots of malls and stuff around here but we're going to be
exploring the whole of the city and basically just seeing what it's like because we've never been to
Bangkok so we've heard mixed reviews but i don't know i think we're going to like it but we have
heard some people that really don't so you never know let's start off a little food store here
that's pretty cool this place is called coffee and condoms and look at the sign
our drinks and bakeries are guaranteed not to cause pregnancy that's good it's good to know
one thing just to say is not everyone but a lot of people do wear their masks i don't think it's like
you don't have to but like a lot of people do and i think they just find it quite respectful but
even just around the city not even just the malls everyone seems to be wearing the masks i actually
googled it earlier and it said that recently the president actually said it's not they can't
make you do it but they do like it when you wear one so yeah but like around the streets
we don't really feel like i mean there's literally hardly anyone
they weren't wearing it as foreign taurus either um but like yeah i don't know it's a harsh topic
we don't know but we'll do what when we're near people we'll definitely wear them
also our hotel actually it's not a hotel it's an airbnb is insane and i can't wait to show you it
and we spent a little bit more money than usual but to be honest it's so worth it we've
got a rooftop pool there's a gym so it looks really cool don't throw garbage on the floor
like first impressions it's actually really clean it's a very clean city it's cleaner
than london yeah well honestly it's like they must constantly clean up after themselves like
because it's so clean look at all the streets and stuff they're spotless there's not even like bits
of dirt or anything so up here is the i think it's the sky train and they run runs basically
through parts of the city and it's probably one of the best ways to get around and pretty cheap too
hey so we have just arrived at terminal 21 which is going to be our first mall in bangkok thailand
here we go let's go in and have a look we've got recommended this more by someone who lives here
so terminal 21 is basically an airport style mall and each level is a different city so one of them
was rome san francisco london etc as you'll see should we go to the caribbean or paris
let's go to paris level m that's quite cool
it's just arrived in tokyo look how cool this is
amelia's always wanted to go to japan so here we are
we've just got home we arrived on the level of london and england here we go so we have just come
out terminal 21 but we have just found a hidden gem in bangkok where you can eat super super cheap
on the top floor but i'm not gonna show you any of that in this video i'm gonna wait for
another video where i'm gonna do a video on how cheaply you can spend a day in bangkok so
wait for that video okay so we are gonna finish a little exploration there and we're gonna head back
to the hotel because i want to show you the uh the rooftop pool which we haven't actually been to yet
and then the hotel room as well guys look at this pool look at the views it's insane
that is beautiful so it is the daytime but i'm going to show you now because it's much better
lighting so let's go in the toilet so here we go what up what a beautiful bathroom got a really
nice shower actually this airbnb actually comes with a washing machine which is so useful and
like a little kitchenette so we can actually cook microwave all that kind of stuff
and then a big old fridge which is really cool and come around here and then this is
basically the room we've got a table i've got a desk so this is where i do all my editing
which is perfect and then obviously another massive bed because the beds
are always huge in thailand for some reason and it's a really nice room and this cost
15 pounds a night each so it is a bit more but to be fair we're not spending much in
bangkok because the food's cheap and stuff so we thought it was worth it so yeah that's the room
so today we are jumping on the sky train it's very noisy here we're jumping on the sky train i think
and we're heading down to central world which is a massive fall and then another market thing
behind it so yeah we're gonna take you on the sky train and see what it's like it's supposed to be
much cheaper to get around the taxis and stuff and obviously a lot quicker too we've just
come to a little restaurant just i don't even know where just before we get on the sky train
let's have a look at the menu so guys i got these thai braised pork i think is
in this soup and then i've got some rice to come with it as well but this looks really cool it
looks like what all the locals are having so i've just gone for it this was 50 baht
it's interesting
i can't even describe what that tastes like
almost reminds me of um you know Chinese um
what's it called like black beans yeah it's kind of like black bean sauce
it's nice though emilia's gone for the pad thai of course what's the pad thai rating out of 10.
i would go i've had a lot of times
that's pretty good on the Pad Thai scale so here we are Nana Skytrain station
where are we so we're here and we want to go to Chit Lom but we need
to find out how to buy a ticket first because we have no idea
you want to buy a ticket here yes where are you going uh
thank you
here we go that was actually quite easy
okay so we bought a ticket and it was uh 23 baht each um yeah i i think this might be a
bit more expensive than metro i'm not sure well it's pretty good really it looks pretty cool it
does look pretty cool we'll be flying through the sky i think media's worked out which way we gotta
go too oh we just missed one oh no i think they come pretty um often so it shouldn't be a long way
look how cool this is so it goes above like the whole road and then through all the
tall buildings i think our hotel is like behind this building or not hotel airbnb
oh they've got like barriers like it feels so modern in this city like a lot more than i was
expecting it does have a like a feel of singapore in areas to be fair yeah it really does isn't it
and it's so clean it's so clean so so clean here's a 7-eleven fact for you there's over
5 800 711 stores in bangkok alone how crazy is that they're literally everywhere
the 7-eleven here and there's a 7-eleven just there that's how many 7-elevens are in this city
every corner every street i i don't know what these are yeah i think those things are like
little scratch cards or and like lottery things and maybe someone can explain below what it is
so we're going in central world which is like one of the biggest malls here in bangkok
so it should be pretty cool there is that central central world looks pretty big to me
world cinema that is the apple store it looks so cool what
this is all the stuff we can't afford
there is an ice ring in this mall i mean we're in bangkok not like iceland
so we've come out of central world and we're walking towards the platinum fashion wall which
is just up here we've got a little waterway a little boats going along here which is pretty cool
in there was thailand's largest wholesale fashion mall and it was huge there was so
many levels and it was really thin but so long and there was so many clothes in there it was
actually crazy and it was also super cheap so if you're looking to get close probably a good idea
to go there i'm not sure i mentioned that amelia's basically going to be shopping around there for an
hour or two just to like buy some clothes and stuff and honestly i didn't really want to do
that so i'm going back and she's staying there and doing some shopping i just moment it is 33
degrees but it says it feels like 41 which is so hot um and it does feel very hot i'm sweating now
and i've only been out the aircon like literally five minutes if that and so yeah just one thing
april is the hottest time of the year in thailand so take that into consideration when you're coming
i don't know if you can see but i'm literally sweating so much even if you walk for like
five or ten minutes you get so hot and sweaty it's honestly it's so warm out there but i mean
i guess having all the ac like malls and stuff just helps you get through it emilia has just
got back from the mall and she's bought two things so she's gonna talk you through them so they have
like the mall market and everything is so cheap they call it like wholesale um wait let me just
figure this what is this how much was it this was one 150 baht but it's like a little yellow top and
it's very pretty wow she let me try it on but in england that would be like 30 pounds so i was like
you love your beachwear don't you yeah and i don't have any yellow torch to it what's this then it's
a dress and it was really pretty and i don't have a pink dress and it was 200 Baht. 200 yeah what
that's like four pound fifty for a dress and it feels really good quality fairly oh yeah oh wow
that actually does i know i'm no fashion expert but this is the quality stuff are you happy yes
the security guard was at the door and he was so funny but he was like
he was trying to explain to he was like oh two there's only one i was like
sorry what and he was trying to explain to me he was like no boyfriend just you now just one
and i was like oh yeah he's already gone and this guy had the funniest laugh he was like
the thai people here are so so lovely they're so nice they're so nice and like obviously they
would have seen so many tourists but they're still just such sweet lovely people that was the end of
