  • An adventure in Bangkok's most interesting district from Chong Nonsi to the Chao Phraya River. The most info I've ever put into 2 videos on one area! A 42 minute epic featuring many places hidden from tourists, the many local landmarks, restaurants, mansions, canals, abandoned buildings, and walking tours down the side streets and canals, plus the history of the famous graveyards of Sathorn and Silom. Enjoy!

      This is a nice feature. I wasn't 100% sure if we were talking about the same canal, but this confirms it.
      Those numbers on the map make it much easier to get my bearings and follow along with the video. Thanks!

    I used to work in Sathorn Nakorn Tower at Chongnonsi 25 years ago, and would often look down and wonder at the House on Sathorn which was in a state of disrepair then, and across to the old cemeteries thinking about the by-gone eras.

    Your videos are excellent, love the history and depth of your research. Your 2 videos on the Sathorn area brought back fond memories, seeing my 1980s home at Diamond Tower and (after a 5 year gap in Hong Kong) my 1990s home at Palm Courtt (now Siri Sathorn), as well as the old BNH where my kids were born and the many old houses that used to line Sathorn. Left Bangkok in 1997, for many subsequent foreign assignments, but still return 3 or so times a year (but always stay riverside now).

    my old neighborhood-i lived on sathorn soi 17 from 2004-2006 in the muslim neighborhood. we had a call to prayer speaker right outside a bedroom window. the somtam place looked a bit different. we had to drive our car down that tiny soi to get to our parking space next to the muslim cemetery. as for the chinese cemetery i remember overhearing a foreigner call it “thai future park” LOL. brings back a lot of memories.
    we paid 7,000 baht a month for a small two story house. it’s still there at least it was in 2011 last i was there

    In Manchester UK, the Council moved a full cemetery to make way for a new Tesco supermarket, what was immoral was the families were charged for the removal and
    re interment of the graves, although they had no say in the matter. Same same different country. Another great Vlog Pat.

    I appreciate the work you put into these videos. Two small comments. Earlier on you showed the storefront of Kai New Zealand. I have never been myself however know people who have been, some many times. The reports (first hand and online), while the food is good the end invoice is an eye watering (read expensive) affair. As far as Saint Louis Hospital is concerned, since their renovation, their prices are in line with Bumrungrad. I think all the private hospitals as well as Siriraj have gotten onto the fact they can milk customers by taking BP and weight, often without a nurse present (the BP machine prints out the result). So money for nothing. Some charge up to 400 baht.

    I spent part of my childhood in the Sathon neighborhood. I was born in the St. Louis Hospital, went to preschool at Sang Arun Kindergarten on Sathon 11, then went on to finish 6th grade at Assumption College next door. Sang Arun Kindergarten backs up to the Wat Don Cemetery. While living at the boarding school, we would hear about ghost stories and ghost sightings. The area has changed quite a lot in the 40 years since I left Thailand. Interesting and insightful videos. I remember several mansions you mentioned. And they should knock down the Ghost Tower eyesore. Such a waste!
