    How far with $5 go in Bangkok, Thailand? Well, that's just over 150 Thai Baht and you'll be surprised how far it goes. In this video, I walk around the great city of Bangkok and enjoy nearly a full day out without spending much money at all. It is the $5 Challenge, and I'm curious to know how far $5 would go where you live?? Let me know in the comments below. Enjoy this journey through Bangkok with me, as we explore Universities, Parks, Unique restaurants (Thai Street Food) and insane desserts! Oh yeah....and beer!
    Here are the Google Map Pins so you can enjoy these places too:

    I've been so fortunate to live in Thailand during the terrible 'situation'. The quiet, the slowing, the visible changes in the Thai populace (good changes in some ways) the cleanliness of the beaches and water in Phuket (a few of us falangs and our Thai friends spent a lot of the quiet time cleaning up our local beach 😊🙏). It was like turning the clock back 30 years, truly beautiful. Tainted of course by the hardship of the Thai people by the 'situation' 😞.Seeing animals emerge far more. The sealife really kick up, turtles on beaches, really clean crystal clear water for early morning swims along the beach without fear of being run over by a speedboat of jetski's lol 😁, many more birds and parrots, beautiful snakes here and there. Certainly a wonderful time to travel in Thailand. Chiang Mai and the Mae Hon Song Loop superb and so quiet.

      Actually a good tips for all the foreigners going to Thailand. If the university's open and you're anywhere near it, you can get cheap foods in every university's cafeteria it's like a big food court for you and you can get anything from drinks, foods, desserts. In some university, you can get a glass of soft drinks for 4-8baht. A few years ago you'd be able to get a whole meal for 18-22 baht in Mahidol University Payathai Campus.

    I love your videos - it is so much Fun ! (Been to (Bangkok) Thailand, at least twice; Chiang Mai once.. via the cool but long train (on the Hard seats; not the Soft ones. I sat close to the revered velvet rope Monks section). I remembered the daily 2 Thai beer alcohol ordinance rules: the 2nd time that you could drink beer (or a hard liquor): 5pm to 12am. (I have tried all types of Thai beer (like the Singha tiger/lion and Chang green elephant); hard liquor: Sangsom, Mekhong, Hong Thong or the local Thailand Lao Kao/"Cow" : the Moonshine that tastes like the juice from olives (in a metal can) = the latter could be found (in different flavors) at a 7-11.

    When you told us you didn't buy Starbucks coffee, I like you even more. So I would encourage you to buy stuff from other convenient stores other than 7-11 -like Family Mart, even better if you buy them from local pop and mom shops. These shops are struggling just like the two men you gave 20 baht to.

    • @kshinokevin
      @kshinokevin 3 года назад +1

      Yes ! I love the Family Mart and Lawson Station (Japan) indy/independent stores; not just 7-11 (which is like, almost everywhere in Bangkok: a global franchise like a Burger King or McDonald's). The Thailand Ronald McDonald's statue by Khao San Road (close to a Brick Bar and Mulligan's Irish outdoors pub/bar) has Ronald going the traditional, proper and polite Thai "Wai" greeting - which is great. Thai Street Food vendors (better) vs. Western food (why ?!?) : the latter is too expensive = (Thai) Baht/price wise...

    A 5er here can get you a couple of decent beers in a shop, 2 double cheese burgers from McDonald's or a Starbucks type cofee but it is completely possible to make a full meal for a 5er.
    In terms of a taxi we are looking at 3 and a half bucks just to get in and that will get you an eighth of a mile.
