  • What's better than Serg getting lost alone? Bringing a good friend along. Join me as I go roaming central Bangkok with an expert condo agent. My friend Sebbi had some business ideas he needed to scout out so I joined him for an afternoon of walking around the main central area of Bangkok. Sebbi has not only lived in Bangkok for 11 years, he has also started two real estate agencies. This man knows the downtown area of Bangkok along Sukhumvit better than anyone I have met here. Together we will share some of our favorite reataurants, bars, hotels and areas in the popular Sukhumvit area of Bangkok. Sebbi shared the current cost of living in Bangkok, where new expats should move, and how much they can expect to pay for a condo along this popular area. There is always some mishap when I am out and about, and today was no different.
    Looking to rent a condo? Contact Sebbi. LINE qr link: line.me/ti/p/ge3xtsE40i

Try the Thale Noi area in Phattalung province especially the Thale Noi bridge - that will be an amazing bike ride along the northern part of the Songkla Lake

I was gutted the huntsman bar and grill under the Landmark hotel closed after the situation a few years ago . Great food and music there. Please Serg a 7Eleven tour would be great !!!!!!!

    Met my wife in the Old German Beer Bar. She was a waitress. Been together 8 very good years. The men working on the sidewalk, is classic. Laughing my butt off. On the other side of the street from the German Beer Bar, we, my future wife and I, were walking on the sidewalk, when I looked up at the hotel we were staying at, which is a major no-no when walking on sidewalks in Bangkok. I tripped on a piece of pipe still in the cement, and my body fell into a large bush. Lucky for me, it was there. However, it was a thorn bush and my arms took the bloody brunt of the fall.

    Hi Serg. Ekamai - Prom Phong area was a packed haven of the Thai middle class and now the Japanese and a handful of Westerner expats jammed. Being not any tourism destination so the lifestyle is still quite Thai (of middle class). The more further towards the suburban (Phrakhanong - Bangna) the more the habitat of the factory workers / labors and former slummers wherein now jammed up by Laos/Cambodian/Burmese workers/labors. These areas are quite boring for not being packed with tourist attractive spots but they're full of livelihood in the modern Thai ways.

    • @LifewithSerg
      @LifewithSerg  3 месяца назад

      I actually like those areas. I don’t like touristy areas. The first year living in Asok was great, but after that, I just wanted out of there as fast as possible.

    Elevator at Vanilla Sky Rooftop at Skyview likely doesn't go up to that floor or open until opening time. Some of the hotel rooftops are set up that way. I have been to Vanilla Sky - very impressive bar and fantastic views. The other rooftop bar at Skyview is a bit of a dud.
