Hi Cory ! I'm Vietnamese living in US for 44 years ,I travel a lot but lately I stay home because my family don't want me to go anymore ,they said the world now has so much problem they want me to stay home for a while ,I like your filming because you walk and film everything very clearly ,show the way people life ,the house ,the flower , the plan ,the food ,just like the way you did before in Korean to see how people live . Very good work please keep doing . Next time stop by Terminal 21 you will find a lot of good food and cheap
I'm glad you enjoyed my video! I'm sorry you're not traveling these days, you should get back out there and see more of the world! Thanks for the tip about Terminal 21. ^^ Cheers!
I apologize for the sound problems in 2 restaurants! I tried to fix it, but it sounds like crap. If you have a hard time hearing what I'm saying, please turn on CC subtitles. What was your favorite part of my trip to Bangkok? Let me know in the comments below! If you'd like to contribute subtitles in various languages, please click: ruclips.net/user/timedtext_cs_panel?c=UCAQLIhgbZGo1GgyONrKHuWw&tab=2
Really? hehehe Thanks! I don't think it's anywhere near that kind of production quality, but thanks for thinking so. As long as you felt like you were having an experience through my videos, I'm happy. ^^
Thanks Elizabeth, that's exactly the kind of travel I enjoy the most. Wandering through back alleys and seeing markets deep into the local neighborhoods... it's so cool! Glad you enjoyed. ^^
Yeah, all the bundled cables everywhere is a common sight in Thailand and even Vietnam. I would hate to be an electrician doing street maintenance on utility poles. hehehe
Man, I am missing Bangkok after watching this. Just back from spending six months in SE Asia and loved every minute. Heading out exploring Europe very soon! Great vlog!
The temple was amazing, it's great that you got to finally see it. As for the food, it looked so good that I want to go to Bangkok right now for lunch.
There's still a huge amount of stuff in BKK that I didn't get to see, I've still just barely scratched the surface. But I'm glad I was able to do what I did in this video. ^^ You should cook some Thai foods at home! I know I'm going to look up some recipes and try to make it myself.
Im not really a fan of cooking, but if someone cooked it for me that would be great. I hope you get a chance to go back to BK soon and get to see all the other things you missed out on seeing
Good to see you again exploring. Sorry you got to see so many wires out your window. The owner could use some curtains. I loved the prawn soup and the breaded chicken they looked devine. It seems the basis of the food there and in the area is consomé soups, veggies, noodles, chicken.... And heat from peppers as a condiment. I would think they would eat more rice but see it is not a main dish. Also curious as to the history of the French in the area. It sees they were everywhere. I am surprised and happy to see I have about five papaya trees growing in my back yard that are about 6' tall. No flowers yet but I am wondering how you eat them as a veggie and if you get me a recipe to try I will use it. Are the shreds pickled, steamed or raw???? Its funny how I planted the papaya seeds easily three years ago and nothing happened and now they sprouted!
Please make an update about your home and the pond and stuff ! It's so beautiful I'd love to see it's full potential you said your landlord was going to fix it soon so whenever that happens please share ☺️ thank you !
I will definitely be updating y'all about the apartment and pond, but it's a slow process. It took nearly 6 weeks to get the landlord to help me clean the pond, and it's currently being refilled slowly to let the fish acclimate to the new water. For those who can't wait, you can follow me on Instagram (@FEEDTHECORY) because I post to my Stories what the pond and patio look like while I'm working, while it's raining, etc. Thanks for commenting Christina!
I used to enjoy your back alley explorations of Seoul, so I find it interesting to see how the Bangkok's alleys compare. The food looks delicious. If you attempt to replicate any of the dishes you've tried in Thailand, perhaps you could share a cooking video with us. Wishing you safe travels!
Cool, Mindy! Yeah, the alleys are slightly different, but still just as awesome to explore. I like to see where normal people live and how they decorate their homes. While I saw a lot of corrugated tin roofs in alleys where it looked like it was poverty level, I was surprised that everyone looked healthy and everything was so clean, there was no trash laying about all over where people live.
I always suggest that travelers get away from touristy places and go explore the real streets and neighborhoods of wherever they are (within safe reason). Don't overplan a trip and try to cram all kinds of touristy places, give yourself some time to do nothing and just wander around aimlessly. Sit down at a local street vendor stall and enjoy the food/drink and people watch. It's the best way to get to know the feel of a place. Glad you enjoyed the vlog!
Hey there, Cory! I enjoyed the video, first all! Thank you for the update. Secondly, I love complex spicy sauces and here in the middle of the US they're not very common. Mild American palete is hardcore here. @ 12:23, you curse lol and actually lick your fingers! Now, I've got to try it! @ 17:14 there's a very creepy lady staring at the camera....is she real? lol I was really diggin' the track played towards the end of the video as well. While you were in the taxi, I was noticing the big screens. That vibe sort of reminds me of Tokyo/Seoul, ya know?
Hey Kaimicah! Glad you enjoyed the vlog! Yeah, that sauce caught me off guard with how yummy it was. I try not to cuss in videos, but I couldn't help it that time. lol And omg I didn't see that lady before, hahahaha how creepy! But yeah, it's just a giant poster on the window, not a real person. Yeah, Bangkok has large high definition LED screens everywhere, it really did remind me of Seoul and Tokyo. Bangkok definitely reminds me a lot of Tokyo, and there's a HUGE Japanese culture influence in Bangkok as well.
Hi Cory, The local eatery looks so delicious, so much fun in the 48 hours trip , but that is just not enough for a Thailand lover, haha, i wonder could Thailand be your next destination to stay and explore after Vienam? by the way you look so nice in Thailand video
Thank you, it was a great time, even though it was only about 48 hours. I'll have to visit again later! I'm so glad I live in Vietnam, very close to Thailand!
hi cory,,,I,m sure you,ll return to Bangkok again,,,,so much to see and do,, the boat noodle area is kool at night ,,I liked wat po better then the grand palace
Absolutely, it's one of my favorite cities in southeast Asia! I need to somehow take a 1 month food tour trip around Thailand and really immerse myself! Yeah I heard Wat Pho was much better than the Grand Palace. I also really wanted to see the reclining Buddha, that pose isn't common around Asia so it really interested me.
The food looks delicious. WOW! lots of wires hope they never have a short. I leave Sunday for a cruise first time on one ever. Nervous and excited . Do not get around well. (use a scooter) Traveling mostly by myself. But so excited to finally get to go somewhere. Have only traveled to a few states here in the USA. Enjoy your videos so much. Thank you for sharing.
Oh wow, congrats! You're going to have an awesome time on your cruise! Where is the cruise going to? Thanks for watching my videos, I really appreciate the support!
Another great video, the food so amazing. What was the temperature like? It's pouring rain and everyone is walking around in shorts and short sleeves .
Thanks Jacque, yeah, my recent trips to Bangkok were only out of necessity for a visa run. Luckily, I picked up my 1 year business visa when I returned to Vietnam after this trip. Now I don't have to do visa runs every 90 days, allowing me a chance to save more money for a bigger and longer trip somewhere! I'd love to see the beautiful beaches and islands of Thailand next time I go!
Yes, I went to Hong Kong once in September 2016. It was VERY nice! But I was only there for 18 hours layover from Seoul to Rome. I want to go back and eat!!! Hong Kong is a wonderful city. ^^
Good one.Wished it was longer.But with just 48 hrs to spend, this is pretty good.The food kind of similar to ours.I guess that giant prawn was a blue-clawed freshwater prawn.Can fetch a really good price here.What do the Thais call that taxi?Isn't it 'Tuk Tuk' or something? I forgot.
I really wish it was longer too! hehehe I'm not sure what species of prawn it was, but it was definitely big and very meaty. I loved the shrimp head goop, it was so yummy! Yeah, Tuk Tuks are the 3 wheel motorized carts that zoom around at really high speeds. They also have regular taxis, many of them are pink color so very easy to spot. ^^
I Definitely sure it was a blue-clawed freshwater prawn becoz it was larger than a mere prawn.Since it has been cooked, the whole body has turned red so its kinda hard to tell.But when it still fresh, you can see 2 long claws in blue color thus, where the name came from.And also if you pay a bit higher than any other tomyam you had, then you know its the blue-clawed or you have just been robbed.But anyway, who cares about what species of prawn it is.As long as it tastes good, thats all that matter.
Another fine video :-). I so want to try the papaya salad! Am afraid the peppers would do me in - but would still try. All the food looked great - was it all spicy? Is the spice hot or numbing? I don't think I could choose just one part of the trip as being my favorite it all looked fascinating! Thanks
The salad is fantastic, but yeah... get ready for Thai heat! hehehe Thai spices are the best! Not all of it was spicy, though, so that's good for those who don't like spicy foods. And the things that are spicy, it's a good spicy, not the kind that's just painful. I don't like that kind. Glad you enjoyed the video Donelle!
There's no footage of it, but I was definitely greeting EVERYONE with sawadikap and putting my two hands together and bowing a bit. And I was also saying thank you in Thai. I think it's a beautiful language and full of character. I love the way Thai women speak, and the drawn out "kaaaah" sound, it's so nice. hehehe
Unfortunately no, I didn't have time. I could only explore the temple grounds, and then I wanted to eat good Thai food before going to the airport. Next time I'm going to pamper myself and definitely get a great massage, top to bottom. I really need that!
Sorry, not much has changed in the apartment yet to make a worthwhile video about. Just 2 days ago the landlord and I finally drained the pond and scrubbed the bottom gunk out. We're slowly refilling the pond over the course of a week to let the fish acclimate properly. If you really want to see behind-the-scenes stuff and can't wait for a future vlog, you should follow my Instagram stories (@FEEDTHECORY). I post to there regularly about my house, the pond and the fish in it, etc.
I've only barely scratched the surface with trying Thai food. I used to eat Thai food a lot in the States, but I know it's not the same as authentic Thai food in Thailand. ^^
I don't know, I heard some rumors floating around Facebook about that. But I am not Thai and I don't live in Thailand, so I can't check about that and be certain.
Cory are you doing contract work for some secret service tapping into all those intel cables......maybe there is more to Cory, aka Cory Bond than meets the eye
Glad you enjoyed, thank you! I'm always trying to improve, and sadly I feel that this video is definitely not one of my best. I had to work with what I had and try to make a vlog out of it. Hopefully I'll make better vlogs in the future for you all. Thanks for commenting!
I'd like to try both street food versions and restaurant versions. The boat noodles and Tom Yum Goong recommendations were from eatingthaifood.com, which is run by famous foodie Mark Wiens. I also read elsewhere that those places were the best, so that's why I went to them. Usually I don't go about seeking "THE BEST ________" wherever I go, but when looking for recommendations those 2 things stood out as something I'd like to try, but didn't want to wander for hours on end in the streets trying to find a street food cart selling them. Chilled version of Tom Yum Goong sounds really interesting, I'm very curious about that!
Hey thanks for that info. I'll def have to check into that for my next Thailand trip. ^^ I think next time I'm going to try and book a private tour guide or something, because it would have been nice to have a local translate and show some great things that I wouldn't have been able to find on my own. Thanks for the great comments!
Wow! I’m afraid I might get electrocute with all those wires. Papayas salad look great. Did you take your girlfriend with you? Cory, Thai people like to put sugar in the soup so that is where the ants draw to the sugar. The Wat Pho temple is so awesome.
The wires are definitely intimidating, but as long as you don't touch them you'll be fine. hehehe Thailand's wires are much more organized than Vietnam. Unfortunately I didn't take my girlfriend with me. She had to work and I had to do a visa run. I didn't know they put sugar in their soup, that's very interesting. Glad you liked the video Victoria!
hahaha I can understand that. The bus system looked crazy, I didn't want to try it. The metro is nice, but many places are so far away from metro stations. That's when I would use a tuk tuk. I like tuk tuks, they're fun when they go fast and drive crazy. hehehe But I don't like that the drivers try to overcharge/scam tourists. I always have to haggle with the drivers, it takes me 2 or 3 guys before one of them agrees to take my offer.
hahaha Bangkok is very tempting, but I'll still be in Vietnam for a little while. Although, Hanoi might be losing me for sure. I might move to Da Nang area at the end of this year. Still contemplating that move. Hanoi is wonderful, but there's something about central Vietnam that I really loved. Maybe it was all the beautiful beaches. hahaha I'm such a beach bum. ^^
Before trying dog meat: er- this is probably going to be disgusting. After trying dog meat:.... holy fuck this is the best meat I've had since Tyrone's ...............

Excellent video Cory.
Wow. Felt like I was watching a show on the travel Channel. Awesome like always !
Really? hehehe Thanks! I don't think it's anywhere near that kind of production quality, but thanks for thinking so.
As long as you felt like you were having an experience through my videos, I'm happy. ^^
I love watching you walk around and getting to see the neighborhoods and just everyday life. Thanks for the video!
Thanks Elizabeth, that's exactly the kind of travel I enjoy the most.
Wandering through back alleys and seeing markets deep into the local neighborhoods... it's so cool!
Glad you enjoyed. ^^
Missing Bangkok already when i was there few weeks ago. Love this vlog :D
Hope you had a great time there, I did!
Thanks for enjoying my vlog!
Great moment-capturing of places and atmosphere :) Great details :)
Thanks Jack! Glad you liked it. ^^
That statue is amazing. That whole area there is awesome!
Yeah, I'm so happy I was able to see that Buddha statue. ^^
The temple grounds were so beautiful, I loved it.
Cory i liked everything except the cable hanging everywhere my goodness you could get a nasty shock from that lot ! LOL .
Yeah, all the bundled cables everywhere is a common sight in Thailand and even Vietnam.
I would hate to be an electrician doing street maintenance on utility poles. hehehe
Those are telephone and internet cables.
Man, I am missing Bangkok after watching this. Just back from spending six months in SE Asia and loved every minute. Heading out exploring Europe very soon! Great vlog!
Yeah that's super cool! Sorry we didn't link up, I didn't know if you were in Hanoi or not.
Where in Europe you going to?
Thank you CORY ...... No matter where you do a video , you still the BEST 👍👏👍👏👍👏 LOVE YOUR VIDEOS 📹
Thank you very much Richard!!!! You the man!
My favorite was the beginning to the end!! Awesome!
lol I'm so glad you liked it, from beginning to end. hehehe
Thanks for commenting!
You made the most of your short time there! I love Thai food, and it's so cheap there! 👍
Thanks Jamie! I tried to do what I could, without knowing anyone in Thailand. hehehe
Glad you liked it!

Omg foods, specially papaya salad is good!
Yeah, I reallllly liked the papaya salad! I loved the spice it left on my lips, I want to try some really spicy salad one day!

Glad you liked the video Jack!

Thank you, Roger! ^^
Another great video, the food so amazing. What was the temperature like? It's pouring rain and everyone is walking around in shorts and short sleeves .
Bangkok is like 33°C ~ 35°C everyday, and it's pretty humid. Even in the rain, you'll be sweating. hehehe
Thanks for enjoying my video!
Thanks Cory very nice to bad you couldn’t stay longer have a nice day ☮️❤️🍀🦋😎
Thanks Jacque, yeah, my recent trips to Bangkok were only out of necessity for a visa run.

HONGKONG Food good to
You ever come here where I live Hong Kong and try our food?
Yes, I went to Hong Kong once in September 2016. It was VERY nice!
But I was only there for 18 hours layover from Seoul to Rome.
I want to go back and eat!!! Hong Kong is a wonderful city. ^^
Good one.Wished it was longer.But with just 48 hrs to spend, this is pretty good.The food kind of similar to ours.I guess that giant prawn was a blue-clawed freshwater prawn.Can fetch a really good price here.What do the Thais call that taxi?Isn't it 'Tuk Tuk' or something? I forgot.
I really wish it was longer too! hehehe I'm not sure what species of prawn it was, but it was definitely big and very meaty. I loved the shrimp head goop, it was so yummy! Yeah, Tuk Tuks are the 3 wheel motorized carts that zoom around at really high speeds. They also have regular taxis, many of them are pink color so very easy to spot. ^^
I Definitely sure it was a blue-clawed freshwater prawn becoz it was larger than a mere prawn.Since it has been cooked, the whole body has turned red so its kinda hard to tell.But when it still fresh, you can see 2 long claws in blue color thus, where the name came from.And also if you pay a bit higher than any other tomyam you had, then you know its the blue-clawed or you have just been robbed.But anyway, who cares about what species of prawn it is.As long as it tastes good, thats all that matter.

Yep, I was only visiting Bangkok for a weekend so I could get my 1-year business visa when I went back to Vietnam. ^^
Thanks for watching!
Have you ever been Phuket?
There are a lot of traveller here!! 🌊🌊
No not yet, Bangkok is only place I've been. I want to travel around Thailand for a few weeks, and see all the different regions.
Feed The Cory I recommend you to see Phuket fantasea show@Phuket! I impressed with this show so much.
Feed The Cory You can book Air Asia airlines or Nokair flight to Phuket about 1.15 hours. (Both low cost airlines)
wonderful trip to thai ~~
Thank you Nuri! ^^
Wow 😮 are they electrical wires?
It's fiber optic cables, telephone wires, etc. ^^
Am hungry now😂😂😂
long time no see cory teacher
Hello! How are you?
I feel like as soon as you become fluent in the strange language of Thai, you're going to move there Haha.
There's no footage of it, but I was definitely greeting EVERYONE with sawadikap and putting my two hands together and bowing a bit. And I was also saying thank you in Thai. I think it's a beautiful language and full of character. I love the way Thai women speak, and the drawn out "kaaaah" sound, it's so nice. hehehe
Ouch! Watch out for the EMF from the wires!
Yeah! Maybe I should wear tin foil to protect me if I stay near wires again during my next BKK trip. hahaha
did you get a massage at wat pho? it makes you feel 10 years lighter and younger.
Unfortunately no, I didn't have time. I could only explore the temple grounds, and then I wanted to eat good Thai food before going to the airport.
Next time I'm going to pamper myself and definitely get a great massage, top to bottom. I really need that!
I kinda wanted to see a studio apartment update
Sorry, not much has changed in the apartment yet to make a worthwhile video about.
Just 2 days ago the landlord and I finally drained the pond and scrubbed the bottom gunk out.
We're slowly refilling the pond over the course of a week to let the fish acclimate properly.
If you really want to see behind-the-scenes stuff and can't wait for a future vlog, you should follow my Instagram stories (@FEEDTHECORY). I post to there regularly about my house, the pond and the fish in it, etc.
I see what ya did their with the Instagram promo...😊 cheeky..... ok thx
น่ารัก กินเผ็ดเก่งมาก
Thai food is so good
I've only barely scratched the surface with trying Thai food. I used to eat Thai food a lot in the States, but I know it's not the same as authentic Thai food in Thailand. ^^
Are they really shutting down all the street food and markets?
I don't know, I heard some rumors floating around Facebook about that.
But I am not Thai and I don't live in Thailand, so I can't check about that and be certain.
Cory are you doing contract work for some secret service tapping into all those intel cables......maybe there is more to Cory, aka Cory Bond than meets the eye
hahahahaha Shhhhhhh don't tell anyone!!!
Quality > quantity!
Glad you enjoyed, thank you! I'm always trying to improve, and sadly I feel that this video is definitely not one of my best.
I had to work with what I had and try to make a vlog out of it. Hopefully I'll make better vlogs in the future for you all. Thanks for commenting!
How much $ for airfare Bangkok to Hanoi? Thanks.
It's usually very cheap, like $80. But this time it was $250 because of the season when most people are traveling for holiday.
I heard the best Tom Yum Goong is from a street vendor, not a shop.
I have seen a restaurant that has a "Chilled" Tom Yum Goong. I like Tom Yum as authentic as it can get.
I'd like to try both street food versions and restaurant versions. The boat noodles and Tom Yum Goong recommendations were from eatingthaifood.com, which is run by famous foodie Mark Wiens. I also read elsewhere that those places were the best, so that's why I went to them. Usually I don't go about seeking "THE BEST ________" wherever I go, but when looking for recommendations those 2 things stood out as something I'd like to try, but didn't want to wander for hours on end in the streets trying to find a street food cart selling them.
Chilled version of Tom Yum Goong sounds really interesting, I'm very curious about that!
Hey thanks for that info. I'll def have to check into that for my next Thailand trip. ^^
I think next time I'm going to try and book a private tour guide or something, because it would have been nice to have a local translate and show some great things that I wouldn't have been able to find on my own.
Thanks for the great comments!
Wow! I’m afraid I might get electrocute with all those wires. Papayas salad look great. Did you take your girlfriend with you? Cory, Thai people like to put sugar in the soup so that is where the ants draw to the sugar. The Wat Pho temple is so awesome.
The wires are definitely intimidating, but as long as you don't touch them you'll be fine. hehehe
Thailand's wires are much more organized than Vietnam.
Unfortunately I didn't take my girlfriend with me. She had to work and I had to do a visa run.
I didn't know they put sugar in their soup, that's very interesting.
Glad you liked the video Victoria!
taking public transportation in bangkok is terrible, especially tuk-tuk they drive it like crazy, i will no longer use tuk-tuk again
hahaha I can understand that. The bus system looked crazy, I didn't want to try it. The metro is nice, but many places are so far away from metro stations. That's when I would use a tuk tuk. I like tuk tuks, they're fun when they go fast and drive crazy. hehehe
But I don't like that the drivers try to overcharge/scam tourists. I always have to haggle with the drivers, it takes me 2 or 3 guys before one of them agrees to take my offer.

Look like Hanoi gonna lose you very soon lol
hahaha Bangkok is very tempting, but I'll still be in Vietnam for a little while.
Although, Hanoi might be losing me for sure. I might move to Da Nang area at the end of this year. Still contemplating that move. Hanoi is wonderful, but there's something about central Vietnam that I really loved. Maybe it was all the beautiful beaches. hahaha I'm such a beach bum. ^^
