  • My first day in Thailand exploring neighborhoods and street food in Bangkok. Well it's finally here, my first day exploring Bangkok Thailand. Join me as I take you on a (mis)guided tour on my first day in this crazy city. I explore food in Bangkok as well as some local neighborhoods and markets. I risk my life on a motorbike taxi. Taking the BTS to On Nut was a good way for me to check out a potential area to move to. Thai street food Thailand is amazing. Let's explore the street.

      Say what...? We would have to wear a mask walking down the street...? ...And that "meat product" you ate at 8:10 was a local street delicatessen, pig balls...

    • @LifewithSerg
      @LifewithSerg  2 года назад +1

      Thailand still has mask restrictions in place. Definitely indoors. It’s getting more relaxed outside and they are no longer fining people for not wearing one outside. You could walk around with the mask pulled down, and I see lots of Westerners that walk around with no masks at all.

      Because the title says “first day in Thailand exploring neighborhoods and street food in Bangkok”. When I was here 10 years ago I was here on vacation and I did not go around exploring neighborhoods. Hope that clears things up Mark.

    I have lived in Thailand from 2014 to 2022...My condo is around Onnut station... oh no..... And i moved to Japan now in March 2022. In the last month, I was so missing Thailand.. everything good in Thailand and those good memories... Thank you for the video that solved some of my mental issues that I really wanna go back but am afraid of regretting going back to Thailand... watching these videos are enough for me to conquer my nostalgia for now.

I am in a new place that I’m not familiar with, and for you going to Japan might be very similar. We’re both thinking of the comforts and things we miss about our old homes. Let’s focus on what is ahead of us, not what is behind us. I wish you the very best of everything in your new life in Japan!

    Hi Serg, I'm Thai and UD alumni, welcome you to Bangkok.
    8:13 The meat ball snack is "Sai-Krok I-san" (North-eastern sausages).
    9:31 Salad rolls (Tuna, Crab-sticks, Japan's seaweeds) with Thai-seafood sauce and mayo mixed.
    11:19 Spicy raw-crab salads. (Yum-pu-maa)
    15:30 That noodle is "Boat noodle" which used to be sold on the small boat, that 's why they are sold in the small portion.

      That monitor lizard was the smallest one I saw in the park that day. There was another one swimming that had to be at least 4 feet long. These things are kind of all over the place. As for the wires, I’m simply fascinated by them. It’s just this crazy tangle up in the air. Half the time you can hear the electricity running through them. It’s amusing and frightening at the same time.

    That meat balls you ate. It's called Sai Krok Isaan, or Northeastern Thai sausage. It is made out of fermented minced pork and rice. very tasty and it's my favorite snack. Don't eat too much of that and other street foods though since your stomach still needs to adjust to these all delicious local foods.

    Great. I love Bangkok. Was there several times as a student as I could not afford anything else. Do you need some recommendations? For example, I loved the rides on the river bus boats. They are super loud as noise distracts the bad ghosts. When I had a super loud bus boat, I went all the way to the end station. You have a beautiful view and action. It is amazing how the drivers slam the boat just with whistle signals to the pier. Everybody just jumps on land or on the boat and then full throttle ahead... 🤣👍 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
