This channel should have the attention and sponsorship of the Thai Tourism Authority. It’s content is high quality, very entertaining and informative, it has all it needs to promote Thailand as the wonderful country it is. Congratulations Bangkok Pat.Thank you.

[IslandGirlss]

You never cease to impress me with your loCals, research and history reporting. Nicely done Sir!

[viperbaron]

As big cities go, I've always enjoyed Bangkok.

[terencegraham]

Your knowledge, filming and presentation are first class Pat. Cheers mate.

[michaelmalone]

Excellent content and delivery: check. Well-composed photography: check. Winking references to pop music: check. Yep, it's a Bangkok Pat vlog, people! Thanks for the time, energy and effort you put into these entries. I love that you not only uncover the out-of-the way gems that Bangkok has to offer but you also don't discriminate against the more obvious though no less engaging locations. I love the deep cuts but there's a reason we still are drawn to the classics. Nobody is too cool for a smart cocktail--or a cheap cold beer--on the Chao Praya riverside. Cheers and thank you!

[alexzhang]

Again Pat's latest video did not dissapoint. And gotta admit it's one that has beem meticulouly researched, shot and edited. The accompanying music, simultaneously soothing and futuristic, is tinged with a touch of nostalgia and mechacholy. Thanks mate.

i have been visiting Bangkok regularly since 1986, i thought i knew the city. thanks to your videos i am enriched by some important aspects of this city that is pulsating with life and culture

[lyradm]

I love the fact you're always educating your subscribers of the history of Thailand.

[Gieza-Brake-Pahl]

That was brilliant Pat, I have been visiting Bangkok since the seventies and have never been on that Island, next trip in October I will definitely go there. Thank you.
My Thai friends and family take me to Malls and Temples and the Falangs to bars and golf courses but if I want to see anything interesting I need to slip away on my own like I suspect you do. Generally when I drag people to places that I find interesting they look at me as if I have two heads.
Been on a few of those dinner cruises, bit kitschig but if you are in good company ok.

Thank you khun Pat. Great content, very well researched, the videography is really beautiful, and your sense humour makes it all very entertaining. Learnt a lot of things myself. Finding time on a free weekend to enjoy the Chao Phaya is pretty fun and costs little. Amazing views at 19:05

My first visit to Bangkok 1979. I have vivid memories of river boat tours.. morning less hot sun, a bit of cold air .. bursting with activity. floating markets. etc
Addicted to river boat tours, every month or so I would book with friends for a night boat dinner trip upstream then down again to the oriental hotel area great fun. also love hotels overlooking the river with a balcony.. The water taxis are great to jump on and off, but that sun is a problem- o for me.
I avoid the river area during the daytime. traffic heat + too many people. early morning and evening for me.

So good I’ve watched it again 👍
Good video Pat 😁

[bengmelea]

Great vid! I found some new places to explore. If you're looking for a more local dinner cruise, with local prices for locals, rather than a tourist mega buffet boat then check out Yok Yor Marina restaurant. Their boat departs at 8pm and costs you only THB200pp. They do say get on board by 7pm (the open-air top deck is great for views) so you can order the wide selection of dishes from the main kitchen on land before departure as the menu from the kitchen on board the boat is more limited. You pay for the food and drink you order.

As someone who lives in Bangkok, I can’t thank you enough Pat 🙏🙏

Donated a coffee last week for reasons all contained in this wonderful video; continually learning things I never knew, considered, or even imagined to do the next time I take my family to Bangkok - Cheers Sir!

[dylanthomas]

Another excellent and informative video Pat. I happened to venture down on the BTS to Pak Nam, when I was in Bangkok back in May. After a wander around the amazing seafood market, I decided to catch the ferry across the river to the Phi Suea Samut Fort. However, to my surprise the ferry does not operate during low tide and I had to wait for 2 hours on the far side of the river for the tide to turn. Luckily, there’s an Amazon coffee shop near the pier with aircon to shelter from the humidity .

I can vouch that Grand Pearl cruise is worth the money for 2hr cruise with great live music and food. Our waiter was spot on too, friendly and expert service

[CrapKerouac]

Is it my imagination, or does everything look cleaner than it did 20 years ago? Fun and educational as always, thanks Pat.

Edit: Have considered doing a video on hospitals for ageing expats or medical tourism, Pat?

Under the boardwalk. Watching your videos is the next best to being back in Bkk.
