Inside Bangkok's "Most Dangerous" Neighbourhood

- Опубликовано: 28 янв 2023
- Klong Toei is Bangkok's largest and most well-known slum areas. Khlong Toei is often known for its poor living conditions, crime, drug addictions and lack of opportunities. But there is also something very unique and beautiful about this place.
คลองเตยเป็นย่านชุมชนแออัดที่ใหญ่ที่สุดและเป็นที่รู้จักมากที่สุดในกรุงเทพฯ คลองเตยขึ้นชื่อเรื่องสภาพความเป็นอยู่ที่ย่ำแย่ อาชญากรรม สิ่งเสพติดและการขาดโอกาสแต่ที่นี่ก็ยังคงมีอะไรที่เป็นเอกลักษณ์และสวยงามเกี่ยวกับสถานที่แห่งนี้

Last time I was in Thailand I stayed with a friend in Khlong Toei and we spent some nights in a slum area at their sister's place, very hospitable area, although they were very surprised to see a farang in the area. They assured me it's fairly safe as long as you don't go wandering out alone at night, but that's the same with anywhere in the world I guess.
Khlong Toei was fine. I went there almost every other day and chilled. Nothing happened
“that’s the same anywhere in the world”. No, it’s not and it’s sad you think like that.
Yes，poor does not necessarily equal to dangerous. If you are not to do illegal activities, ppl are fine.
I was one of the first adopted children from the Khlongtoey area in the 70s to Australia. Much of the stories I have read and were told match with your experiences. I went back 10yrs ago to get a glimpse of the life I may have had. Thanks for showing me this video Paddy.
I volunteered in the Khlong Toei community (moslty "Lock 4-5-6") for almost 2 years and never once felt out of place or in danger. The people that I've met there are some of the most humble, kind and welcoming people I've ever met. Ironically I actually feel like I'd be more likely to get mugged or scamed at the nearby shopping malls than I would in the slums. BTW, the train actually still runs several times daily; I'd walk along those train tracks every day and regularly have to step aside to get out of the way as it passed.
Nice insight. Which organisations are doing charity work in there?
30 yrs ago when I first visit Thailand, I innocently wandered into Khlong Toei ‘village’ without much looking at review or judgement.
I have a nice visit there, alone.
Did not get mugged or encounter any unpleasant incidents.
It was in daytimes though.
I can read, write & speaks Thai now. 🙏

THEY JUST HAVE TO MAKE IT LOOKED DRAMATIC TO SELL!!! NO MATTER WHAT THE TRUTH IS.
AS A THAI I FIND SO MANY OF THESE YOUNG RUclipsRS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OUR SOCIETY. IRRELEVANT AND IRRESPONSIBLE.
Loved the music when you were trying to catch the train. It made it sound like an action movie. Thanks, Paddy, for a look inside an area where tourists would probably never go to.
I fell in love with Thailand through the lens of TV shows and series and YT series. And I’ve come to realise that Thailand is very similar to Brazil in many aspects. Your videos are great! Thank you for showing this as well
Great video - awesome to meet locals with you Paddy! I myself happened to stay in a hotel in Klong Toey my first time in Bangkok for one month, very close to the wet market (i didn’t know about its reputation at the time) I had a positive experience and felt like locals were curious about me and my reasons for staying there. There are definitely parts of the neighbourhood that are worth exploring.
Absolutely! Definitely a fascinating area. Thanks so much for watching
I was staying out there also and walk around there day and late evening but never feel myself in danger yes sometimes someone look on me in a funny way, but i not think it was something bad, i think maybe just because i am a farlang, i like the seven eleven out there on pharam 4, hope its still there.
Stay safe

@@miketzai9209 @tildaMath38 : where both of you stayed is not this Klong Toei. Where you both stayed is in the greater Klong Toei district, which has nothing to do with this area. There is absolutely no hotel in this part which Paddy shows and has this reputation.
It can be confusing because it is all Klong Toei district - also the richer neigborhoods with hotels, but the Klong Toei part which has this reputation is a specific area. Which Klong Toei is talked about, can be known from context or more specification. Like saying that you stayed in a hotel , the big wet market or mentioning Phraraam 4 road.. is all outside this area.
@@FarangNickWhere is “this Klingon Toei”? Between Chao Phraya river and Chalerm Maha Nakhon road?
Love these style of videos. Very insightful, thanks Paddy
Super appreciative of the support!
I worked with Italian Thai Construction on a multi product pipeline from Klong Toei to Don Muang airport in 1994. Ate at some of the market stalls and on some evenings sat with the locals for a few beers! Didn't stay too late but never had any issues! All people were kind and friendly. Felt sorry for the people but again, no issues!
Realy? I need to aplly
I’m so impressed by your Thai language skills. Few foreigners can achieve that!
In my travels through Thailand, I found the people of Isaan to be most hospitable and the friendliest. Despite the region being predominantly farming and having a high poverty rate, the people of Isaan having very strong family connection and if you are welcomed into their home, you are family.
If this shanty town community is made up of Isaan folk, then certainly you will find them to be good natured and friendly,
Until you do something they don't understand and don't agree with.
Then you will be in danger because of their ignorance and intolerance.
Well because people are farmers and pour dose not mean that they are unfriendly, and i agree with you about the isaan people, but i meet friendly thais everywhere in Thailand, a smile and some thaiwords can make a big defrence.

@@user-eg5hn3ii5k I can't read Thai.
I was born in Thailandd and now living in California. When I was a child living in Bangkok, my mother used to take me to Khlong Toei market. All good memories. Missed my home country watching your videos. Kup kun kha.
I am from Taipei, Taiwan. I have been to Bangkok, Thailand. I think both Bangkok and Taipei are very modern cities. I go shopping in Bangkok Shopping Center every year.
Very interesting Paddy , my wife is from the Philippines and they have very similar “squatters areas” but it seems like the majority of the people there are just trying to get by and make a better life. Just like the guy that was teaching you his dialect, there are many dialects in the Philippines, and people various regions do not understand each other so the common language among Filipinos is Tagalog.
feel more safe in thailand then manila airport area
I am a Filipino living in Thailand. I used to live in slum area in the Phils. Bangkok feels a lot safer than Manila. Not even close.
Philippines shouldn't be compared to Thailand. it's gotta have the speediest parts of any place I've known of . it's bad here but there ,wins the cup for noncey behaviour
it's funny how a lot of westerners like comparing Thailand to the Philippines, the 2 are not comparable at all,
it's like comparing the Uk to say Belarus or something!
@@kyogofurahashi I wasn’t comparing the two “countries”, I was stating the similarities in different dialects coming from different provinces, and both having “squatters” areas as they are known in the Philippines.
Khlong Toei 40 years ago been dangerous as rumer . There used to be a lot of drugs, gangsters, etc., but now it's different. It's even better. The people living in Khlong Toei are as friendly as other Thais, which you can experience for yourself.
Thank you for sharing these stories. Considered that you have truly come to experience our country. I want foreigners to see Thailand from many perspectives.
Sawardee
Yes i am farlang and i agree with you, many farlangs only think and speak about the dirty side of Thailand, but they never think about their own country have a dirty side too, further more Thailand is so much more then that, and it will be nice if more farlangs open up their eyes and see Thailand north of krungthjep, i realy like krungthjep, but Thailand have so many pretty places and people, but many farlangs will never know about it, so sad.

Sawatdee kha Khun Mike= Hi Mike. I notice that you have acquired some Thai words. Permit me to give you the correct version of these words. Farang= foreigners,
Krungthep= Bangkok
Great video and a very interesting look at a side of Bangkok that a lot of ‘content creators’ don’t have the ability to show.
Klong Toei is one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Bangkok to explore! The people there are incredible!
I love Khlong Toei. Our office is close by. Been there many times taking photos of the locals and never once have I felt scared. Speaking a bit of Thai and showing respect gets you a long way. Recommend checking out "Cooking with Poo" as well. She has her restaurant there!
Awesome video Paddy. I'm in your home town of Sydney but my mind is always in Thailand.
I like the way you embrace Klongteoy as it is. คุณ Paddy จริงใจในการนำเสนอมากๆ love it!
Very interesting Paddy, I lived here for 50 years and never been inside the Khlong Toei areas. Provide more of these type shows.
I live up the road and had no idea it housed so many people! I’d love to go exploring there more. I’ve done the wet market and a little of the community on a food tour with Poo but it’s so vast. Great video!
ไม่ขนาดนั้นนะคะ น้องให้ข้อมูลน่ากลัวเกินไป คนส่วนมากมองเป็นชุมชนแออัดธรรมดาค่ะ
Good insight, Paddy, thank you 🙏
I LOLed at the 'overly-dramatic music' you played when the train was going past, Paddy. But what a great stroke of luck it was to have the only train, that goes through once a month, pass through during your brief visit to Klong Toei!
Interesting. Thanks for the insight into Khlong Toei Paddy. These videos are great! not another shopping mall or night market? Keep up the good work.
Great video mate....so envious of your Thai language skills...this is what makes your Chanel great
Awesome content! Never knew what it was like in the slums. Well Done Paddy Love you channel!
Great episode Paddy.
It's an area I have visited , very friendly people . Many middle class Thai people avoid the area. I love the market which has one of the best coffee shops( Phu Chai Kai Cafe) in Bangkok and of course Port FC.
I’m Thai and moved overseas in when I was very young, I speak Thai to my family my whole life, we are from Isaan. When I talk to other thais sometimes we don’t understand own another. So Thankyou for this video for showing me I am speaking a different dialect
Thank you for the great train footage ! I’m glad you got such a great shot !
A lot of land is bring occupy illegally, it become a big debate for a while now when the landowner/authority want to do something with those land but get oppose by the local which could end up delay project for years. Train is another big example.
Knocked another 1 out of the proverbial park Paddy 👍
This type of media is absolutely needed & fantastic to see 🙏
An interesting detour off the beaten path, Paddy. As a denizen of lower Suk for more trips than I care to admit, the fact that there was a giant slum just a stone's throw from all that tourist gold was a sobering thought. Further toward Emporium, the side Sois definitely had more Isaan village feel to them but so much has been developed over the last 20 years. Thanks for the video.
Great video Brother. Watching from Venice Beach, CA
#ChokeDeeKrub
Thanks a lot Joseph!
What a great video and a great area. Let’s all hope that, if the area is developed, it will be done in a way that supports the Khlong Toei community and its people.
Like 30 years ago My mother (RIP) was a census worker and her area of responsibility in in Klong Toei slum. That was when the Yaba (Speed) epidemic start in Thailand. Truth to be told from my memory, that area doesn' feel unsafe at all. It's like any dense community in Thailand. There are sign of addiction here and there but their community leader tend to shield them away from us visitor (mom and 7-8 years old me!). The only disagreement between my mom and the locals are the fear that our data will be use to evict them.
Thank you for sharing:)
Props to you man. I'm a 39yo Bangkokian and I've yet to set foot into that Neighbourhood. I guess I just never really had a reason to.
Thanks for this vid totally appreciated to see the other sides of Thailand so thanks paddy stay safe
Thank you for this beautiful moment 🙏
I'm moving there in a few days. These videos get me excited! Hope to see you there bro!
Ohhhh this is actually cool original bkk content! Lived there 5 years my self. Best of luck w youtubing!
Keep posting brotha I love your videos!!
คนอีสานจิตใจดีมากๆครับ
ทุกสถานที่ในโลก ไม่มีสถานที่ไหนที่จะแย่ 100% ในขณะเดียวกันก็ไม่มีหรอกค่ะที่ปลอดภัย 100%
คนเราควรใช้สามัญสำนึกว่าที่ไหนควรไปเยือน หรือไม่ควรไป และควรไปเยือนสถานที่แห่งนั้นในช่วงเวลาไหน
ที่บางที่เราควรไปในบางเวลา
ที่บางที่เราไม่ควรไปเพียงลำพังคนเดียว
ที่บางที่เราไม่ควรไปเยือนในยามเย็น - ค่ำคืน
ที่บางที่ไม่เหมาะสำหรับผู้หญิงที่จะไปเยี่ยมเยือนเพียงลำพังคนเดียว
Everywhere in the world, there are no 100% bad or 100% good places. We should use our instinct when visiting places, knowing which time to visit. Some places ought not to visit at night, places not to visit by ladies alone.
Your Thai is really really getting better in every video.
Out of curiosity, would you ever use RUclips's subtitling over the in video subtitles?
I think RUclips subtitles still have a long way to go! Thanks for watching
@@ThaiTalkwithPaddy yes please teach ours
Very informative.
Great topic you covered.
Not something even Thai people would normally take interest in.
Thank you.
Great video Paddy. I love the not so touristy areas in Bangkok... Thai people are so friendly and fun.
ผมชอบวีดีโอของคุณคับ ขอบคุณคับ
Thank you for another interesting video. Great work
This was a unique and fun video. Much better than the other creators that try to portray Thailand in this 'exotic and perfect ' light.
If you wanna really rally up the masses, do a couple of videos on the Thai education system. More specifically, you could interview some teachers both foreign and native and get their perspective on what teaching in Thailand is like.
Then prepare for lively discussions in the comments.
probably the only slum in the world that every household has a washing machine and air conditioner! ( from my observation) crazy!!
And clean!
Is absolutely a wrong impression, because definitely not every household has that.
One of your best videos.
Great video Paddy!!!
Great video Paddy
Great video man!
Bear Grylls 😂🤣😂😂
Love that dude, very off the wall question for sure.
Interesting video about poor town in 🇹🇭 well every country has a dangerous site and i think you are lucky to live in australia you are close to explore all the beautiful countries of Asia that have a different way of living
those people in bangkok slums just want to live there. they refuse to move out though the gov't provided them with new places. it's just more convenient to live right in the center of the city. i used to drive pass that area in the morning and saw a brand new toyota camry parked right in front of an old wooden row house every day.
That place is wild. Great video mate
I love Bangkok & Chillingbourne - stay clean & safe!!
Great video Pad. I am watching this from Atlanta :)
Thanks for such an interesting video...
I stayed there for a while and I had no idea it was dangerous hahaha
Top Ten videos for you Patty,,,, nicely done,,,, like a media documentary....
Ive known about this place for a while now but never ventured there as I to heard it was a dangerous place, so thanks for doing a video on Klong Toei so I can see what it looks like. kop kun na cup paddy.🤙👍
Thanks a lot for watching Glen!
Thank you for these videos it means so much that you can speak the language. I’m trying to learn some while I am here (Chiangmai Mai)
Well i was staying in klong toye area never feel my self unsafe, i was not in the slum but very near.
I feel myself more safe in Thailand then in my own country.

Great video mate. Haven't ventured off the beaten track in that part of town yet but I heard a number of isan phrases I recognised.
Awesome video. Very interesting!
Thank you for this great very interesting. I am in country Thailand now and never knew this area..Great idea...
Very good vlog Paddy lad.
WOW!!! Your Thai is very impressive. Kudos.
Friend of mine lived there for around 10-11 years, hes now back home in Adelaide !
Paddy, This is a good content.
Nice to see you doing more local and unseen in Thailand
Love your stuff ❤❤❤
We Taiwanese also love to go to Bangkok, Thailand, my friend travels to Bangkok, Thailand every year
Should go come a Port FC game, Paddy! They get a bad rep with the Klongtoey association, but are some of the friendliest, most inclusive football fans you'll ever meet!
Great Video,thanks for that 🙏🏻
I loved that "I don't recommend it" lol ... Thanks Paddy.
Thank you 😃
Great video
Many of these communities days are numbered. The Highspeed Rail project and the Commuter Rail SRT Red Line extension will see a lot of squatters being relocated. The Bangkok Port and the area around Khlong Toei are also getting a new redevelopment project, people who squatting on the Port Authority of Thailand's land around the Port will eventually get evicted.
Great video...
Krap, Paddy!
I went to klong toei at 3 am with another girl with a drug problem and had a great time.
These areas look far better and more safe than the slums in the US. You wouldn't believe what the neighborhoods I used to live in Baltimore looked like.
If you want to get close to real danger go to an outdoor Sek Loso concert where no lack of alcohol fueled fights ensue.
You randomly hop back and forth between Thai and English on most of the videos even to someone that seems to know and speak English back to you lol 😆
Only knew the area as a market, rather than slum, as my friend's mum would go there every morning to buy stuff for her restaurant.
watching from melb au
Cool video. Do you think, thais living there are ok when farangs walking there?
I've walked through Khlong Toey quite a few times both at night and during the day. There's a good Thai boxing gym located in Khlong Toey loacated under one of the express ways. 96 Penang gym
great stuff mate, if your still in bkk in may i'll buy you a drink
Very nice - 🎉. Maybe consider doing a follow episode one day on the “bangkok community help” foundation and their work in that area. Some great potential for interviews if you like… let us know if interested
Thanks Shannon! Definitely something I could be interested in doing!
that's a no then Pad. that's the diplomatic way of saying it .
I think this place already look better and clean than other slum in Bangkok.
Supurb content yet again. A real eye-opener to see communities like this so close to the ritzy glamorous section of BKK. Sadly, we are seeing more Ghettos all around the world, apart from Monaco, they are more insulated from the untouchables.
Interesting episode…
