I have lived in Bangkok for 13 years in 4 different areas and of those places you mention I would choose Asoke. If your coming on a holiday especially as it has the BTS and MRT to get you almost anywhere you would want to go. However there are other places to live long term which is better like where I live. Its only 15 minutes by train from Asoke but the cost of living is way cheaper. The locals are old, friendly and have been living in the area all their life. A pint of beer will cost you 85 baht. Food is crazy cheap. Live music venues. Great bars. Renting a 45 sqm condo will cost you 10k a month. Where is it you ask? Haha. I want it to stay just the way it is.

Hotel rooms in Thailand are very clean, better than those in Japan, South Korea and Singapore

Good content as usual, Cal. I really like the area between Asok and Phrom Phong. With all the shopping and transportation available, it is easy to get to just about anything you need. As a techie, having Fortune Town only a couple of stops from Asok is the icing on the cake.

Awesome video thanks. Both times in Bangkok I stayed in the sukhumvit area. I'll be coming back to Bangkok for a year as soon as possible and I plan on living Riverside. I figure I can get to sukhumvit easy enough for nightlife and a bar that I like and have the beauty and accessibility of Riverside. But your video has opened up my eyes to even more about Bangkok which I will be happy to explore over the next year.
It's such a wonderful City. And crazy too, and I love that.

I really enjoyed this video Cal, so informative and the map locations were very well done, I definitely could lost in BKK and be happy, stay safe mate cheers!

This is a very timely video for me as I will be landing in Bangkok in eleven days and I am still having a tough time deciding which area to book accommodations. Thanks for the info.

[openranks]

Video was perfect timing! Heading BKK next week!

Thanks for another good video. I’ve really enjoyed staying in Saphan Taksin over the years. I like that it hasn’t changed much and location is very convenient. Trying Thong Lo at the moment and so far so good. Moving to Ekkamai later on to see what that’s like. I didn’t know much about Rama 9 so thank you for mentioning it. I’ve also read somewhere that Bang Na is an up and coming area so I might explore that too.
I totally agree that access to public transport is a must in Bkk. More than 10 minutes walk from a bts station in this heat is a deal breaker lol
Thanks again and all the best.

Great video. Ive been to Thailand 3 times and best neighborhoods for me were Rama 9 and Lat Phrao

[itsbandar]

Thank you for this fun video. I enjoy it very much! It transported me to a warmer place in my mind. Viewer from Alaska!

Been to BKK twice as a solo traveller, and stayed in Ploenchit/Chit lom area and Asok/ Sukhumvit area. Both are amazing. Asok takes the cake for me just cos its so freaking convenient! And Terminal 21 food court is crazy cheap like u mentioned! I will be making my third solo trip to BKK next week and will be staying at Asok once again! Perhaps I will check out Silom next time too!

Awesome video. Super helpful. my 2 cent: First timer, stay close to the river cuz all main sightseeing attractions are close to the water. Returning bkk addicts: stay close to Asoke/Siam. JIMHO: Siam paragon food court is the best in the world. Pier 21 is 2nd. but Siam paragon blows pier 21 out of the water. Judd fare is a tourist trap.

As Thai, I’m very impressed you know Bangkok very well! I can say that his info is very accurate.

[mikewilliams]

Great video, Cal my pal. 🎉

I’ve been in pattaya for about 6 weeks now and I’m finally doing a weekend trip to Bangkok on March 29th. I’ll definitely be having this video playing on repeat as I plan my weekend.
