  • In today's video we are blows away by Chinatown Bangkok! This place exceeded any expectation I had! When my best friend came to visit me from The Netherlands we got an amazing opportunity (thank you Mon!) to spend some time traveling just the two of us like we did when we were 20 years.
    Saskia suggested to visit Chinatown, which did not sound too appealing to me but I agreed. I had an idea that Chinatown was just all about food and local old Thai-Chinese life. Turns out there is so much more to Chinatown! Food of course, but so much more that that; street art, architecture, amazing accommodation, galleries and the kindest people. And of course, food too!
    If you plan to visit Chinatown, here are some of the places we visited:
    Our accommodation Baan Yok:
    BaanYok, Original Shophouse in Chinatwon - Airbnb

    The Michelin mention rolled noodles:

    02 226 4651

    Street Art paradise in Talat Noi:

    Saskia and I have been good friends for many years. If you want to know more about the history of our friendship, how we met and how we managed to keep the friendship over 30 years and 2 continents, check out this video:

    Absolutely loved this video, Mayan! I was sad when it ended, I wanted more! Bangkok’s Chinatown is truly unique! Love the colors, the art work on the walls, the old world vibe! If I saw a long line at an eatery I would definitely get in line, but you did it right by going when there was no line! Smart!! Looking forward to more of your videos!❤️ Have a great time with your bff!

    Singha beer in brown bottle was introduced/produced into Thailand about 100 years ago using German recipe by King Rama VI court official Pirompakdi family ancestor. It was highly appreciated by both Thai and expat drinkers. Even though other local brand was introduced one after another but could not shake Singha's dominance and died away until Thai Beverages, the largest and most dominant liquor producer (mostly rum and white spirit) in Thailand, decided to partner with Carlsberg to produce the Carlsberg brand locally to compete with Singha. It also resulted in a failure to challenge Singha. Both sides gradually drifted apart and Carlsberg was eventually no longer produced locally. Before the final breakup, Thai Beverages introduced Chang (Elephant) beer in green bottle, which was much cheaper to gain market share from Singha. It was successful in a few years after heavy promotion and discounted price, and became No.1 seller. This was the reason that Carlsberg decided to quit the Thai market as it seemed its Thai partner did not care to promote Carlsberg anymore after Chang beer was successfully introduced. Singha did not give in and introduced Leo in brown bottle at the same price of Chang and it instantly became a success as well. Now, Chang and Leo are neck and neck, dominating local Thai beer market. Owners of Chang/rum/white spirit and Singha/Leo are Thai billionaires.
    Note: Alcohol sale is banned on religious holidays and the evening prior to general election day and the election day itself. On a regular day, alcohol sale is available from 11.00-14.00 and 17.00-24.00 at 7-11 and mini/super stores, Lotus or Big C. However, this is Thailand and you can always buy your favorite beer/liquor at your small convenient store in your village at all hours (if the store opens). Some shops stay open until 2 am on Friday and Saturday in some villages. Don't know why the police ignore those small shops selling alcohol at all hours. BTW, Chang/Leo in 325 ml can costs 36-39 baht at neighboring village stores but 39 baht at 7-11.
    In Thailand, eateries serve cold beer with ice, either directly in the glass or you can choose to pick ice cubes from the bucket yourself. The reason is obvious. It's damn hot most of the year in Thailand.

      @Mellisa026 Год назад +1

      Great summary Kamol! Leo beer is definitely the best. The tall bottles are still only 57 baht at 7. Like many other farang who live here, i use a neoprene (wetsuit rubber) cooler so i don't need to pollute my beer with ice/water 555

      Haha! You're the best! Did you know, Saskia had a while that she was taking photos of cats in the window. In The Netherlands a lot of the houses are built with a big window out to the street and a lot of people have cats who then pop up in the window for some sunny rays. I think you would have loved this serie!

When I first landed in Bangkok I stayed (airbnb website) in a place called the Cottage (near the airport) for a couple of days. Very good accommodations at a budget price with an awesome breakfast buffet, large mall around the corner, & a unique coffee shop down the street that has exotic pets inside (very cool).

But that was 20 years ago😂 - it was always my dream to open a shop here with great things from Thailand 😉.Back then there were no smartphones and only slow internet and you always had to go to internet cafes to write an email😂....all informations about shops and food came from the lonely planet books😉... but after all the impressions i was always happy if i could continue flying to an island to relax.

    When you see a long queue in front of the restaurant, join the queue because the locals knows best unless you cannot wait or have better options. Place must be delicious n cheap.

    • @SweetLifeLanta
      @SweetLifeLanta  Год назад +2

      Hahaha that's right! But it's not locals in the line, but thousands of tourists from around the world who come to visit Chinatown and read about these top-notch streetfood places. Did you know Chinatown is full of eateries that are mentioned in the Michelin streetfood guide? So many of them. And there is even an organised tour you can take to visit them all in one day! It's probably a really cool and delicious thing to do when you visit Bangkok.

    Great video Mayaan! I've visited China Town many times, but always just for a couple of hours, as a tour leader I always did a cycling tour there with my group at the start of every Thailand tour. It was great to see it again and to see another side of it, that you get to see when you stay longer. Now I also want to go there for a couple of days, it was really inspiring!

    • @SweetLifeLanta
      @SweetLifeLanta  Год назад

      Oh yes you should! You won't be disappointed! And we actually didn't feel like filming much so there are so many more exciting places there than I show on the video. Definitely worth a visit of at least 3-4 nights (if not more) even just to be able to eat all the good food!

    Maayan i enjoy seeing ANYTHING through your eyes but this video was amazing (as usual)! Chinatown seems really cool but i mostly just enjoyed watching you and Saskia! Your friendship is so beautiful to watch. I love that its stood the test of time and distance! I had a friend of over 20 yrs like that as well but her wife got in the middle of it unfortunately. Thats why watching you women be free without kids or spouses, just the 2 of you was so beautiful. Because i know how rare it is :) I also need to mention how HAPPY it made me to see the 2 of you without any makeup or fancy hair just like me. Sadly i dont see women in their natural state much on youtube and its SO NICE!!! I literally said to myself how beautiful you both look when you were talking about collagen. Keep up the great videos and wonderful friendship may God bless you both!!

      Oh my lovely lady! What a beautiful message to get from you (as usual!). You're so good in expressing your thoughts in a comment. I mean, I really do all these videos because I love to make video, but getting so much love is so encouraging and makes me feel refreshed and motivated to keep going. It's so good to know there are people out there who really love what I do, and get something out of it. Regarding the make up and the hair, i know what you mean. Everything online looks so "perfect. But that's just not me, I have no interest in these kind of things, and the older I get, the more I realize how brainwashed we are by this society telling us women we have to look a certain way, behave a certain way to be "good". I mean, of course I have those stupid negative thoughts about myself that I don't look beautiful or that my skin is aging or that I need to shave my legs or that I'm too fat or blablabla, the list is endless. But luckily I also have my smart brain telling me that this is all complete brainwash and what's behind it, is just a company trying to earn money 🤣🤣🤣 so anyways, thanks for noticing and yes! We are just beautiful the way we are. And anyways, we didn't come to this world to be beautiful right? Big hugs to you!!! Love ❤️

    Should you ever go back to that restaurant with the long queue, their signature dish is Chinese rolled noodles (menu in English), however the best thing there I would say is the duck soup or stew with pickled limes.

    ขอเป็นหนึ่งในคนไทยที่ขอบคุณที่ทั้งสองคนชอบไทย รู้สึกเป็นคนไทยเพราะอยู่นานแล้ว (ได้ยินในร้านอัดกรอบพระ)เราไม่หวงภาษาเหมือนลาว กัมพูชา ที่แม้แต่คนในประเทศชอบคิดว่าถ้าไปพูดไทยคือคนลืมชาติ เรายินดีที่ทุก ๆ ประเทศได้เรียนรู้วัฒนธรรมเรา ภาษาเรา และเป็นมิตรกับเรา เราจะส่งคืนความสุขให้กับผู้ที่ดีต่อเราเป็นทวีคูณ รักประเทศไทย ประเทศไทยและคนไทยจะรักคุณ. I would like to be one of the Thai people who are thankful that both of you like Thailand. I feel like I'm Thai because I've been here for a long time. (heard in a shop that makes amulet frames) We don't skimp on the language like Laos and Cambodia, where even people in the country like to think that if you speak Thai, you'll forget your country. We are happy that every country learns our culture, our language and is friendly with us. We will return double happiness to those who have been kind to us. Love Thailand. Thailand and Thai people will love you.

    Each unit of an old shophouse on a major street in Chinatown costs about $1.2M. And they are typically in a old and dingy condition.
